To Everyone: Use Smarter Tank AI and TCL. Both great mods that ramp up the intelligence of the AI and fix a lot of weirdness without effecting the flow of missions too much like VCOM can. Sherman, you too, you should expiriment with these mods and see what results you get. My firefights feel like humans if you tone the precision down and the skill up.
Why the Panzergrenadiere in this game are using M113 APCs instead of Marder IFVs? And also in 1983 already around 800 Leopard 2 had been delivered to the Bundeswehr. But in this game only Leopard1 tanks are used. According to the Heeresstruktur lV ( army structure 4) only the 4. company of any Panzergrenadierbataillon was equipped with M113, the other 3 companies were using Marder IFVs. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzergrenadiertruppe_(Bundeswehr)
to fucking torture you with the paper thin armor of leopard 1's I"m pretty sure the leopard 2's are available in the editor but I think the devs just want to torture you in the tank missions with leopard 1 paper thin armor (there are like 10 platoons of t-55's in one of the missions, it's ridiculous) the infantry missions are pretty easy can't answer your m113 question though, I can't remember if marders are in the game or not
R is "reload" and "next target" that's why you lose target.AAAAND tank 4 did not respond because it is a fucking bug. I had the same probblem. Tank 4 refused to follow. You need to tell him to return to formation non stop
These tank-mssions in State Scarlet completely broke me...i did this mission at least 25 times and died the most stupid ways...even you, as hardcore-experienced ArmA-player had such a hard time... What made it impossible for me was the AI just wallhacking straight across the map...i got shot SO MANY TIMES through trees, or groups of T55 spawning in from behind...it was IMPOSSIBLE to get through this mission and then i used the MP host server option to play some of the missions afterwards, but then the next tank-mission came and i was so damn frustrated, that i never touched this campaign again...
I had to redo the entire mission because the Bridge reinforcements got stuck on one of the cities and reloading from the autosave didn't work. When they got to the bridge, just as the guy said "Ok, we did it.", the front M113's gunner got his head blasted off from some dude hiding in the bush near his 5 dead comrades, followed by the back M113's mowing him down and the mission ending 😂
I wonder how many times he had to do that mission. I got the commander achievement just because of this mission. It sounds like he did this many times before 😂
@@Asgar1205 Well. It's more realistic than any other tank game (like WoT or WT), for so many reasons. Maybe that's why it's not "as fun"? (I don't mind, just takes a bit getting used to doing the right commands at right moments and knowing tank engagement tactics)
@@theShermanator but you can blame it for having even more incompetent AI then it's predecessors....BIS problem is, the originaöl programmr of the AI left the company. ArmA III got 3 big overhauls since 2013... and guess... AI got worse. ALl they do is script around the original AI code from 2001-2006. Back in Armed Asailt AI was definately more capable. AI would even use Supports when you put some into a mission. ArmA II AI was capable of retreat and regroup by default and they would FLEE when overpowered. MIsssion back then could be won without the need to kill every single entity in an trigger area.
As much as i like the good old flashpoint, the AI did not develop all that much since 2001. Same issues with AI infantry, AI drivers and the enemies are still acting pretty random (as in silly).
my dumbass AI wouldnt react to anything i told them, just rarely they'd randomly engage enemies i didn't see i had to switch to the gunner seat because either marking enemies wouldn't work or they just would show no reaction to them being called out
Wait till the last two tank missions. They're hard AF. In mission "More the Merrier" you need to drive 9km, kill like 31 vehicles (12 T55, 9 BMPs, 2 BRDMs, 4 BTR 60s and 4 Shilkas if I remember correctly) and a fuck ton of RPG soldiers. In the last mission (Murphy's Law) I recommend just running away ASAP, otherwise you'll be surrounded by 3 T55 platoons. Don't even try getting other three tanks back, just put the pedal to the metal and GTFO.
18:11 The huge icon halfway to the top left of your screen shows the tank's bearing, as well as the main gun and commander's turret's bearing. No need to third person..
A) I bought the DLC myself, I can mail you the receipt I got from Steam if you don't believe me B) I Cut out a bunch of issues that I think would make the video longer and more frustrating to watch C) If I was being paid by either BI or Vertexmacht or godforbid BOTH I would have told you guys that, but feel free to think that I am being paid, just like I am sure you posted a negative review on the store page filled with a bunch of lies lol
@@theShermanator Yes Sherm. And I even hacked Valve to edit my screenshots before uploading them to show low effort map making. Do you wanna tell me that this DLC was ready for release? Fully animated West German 5ton truck, but not a single animation for the East German stuff? Grass sticking through concrete on many places, areas in the north that look like and are as detailed as maps of Armed Assault, just with better graphics. What about the 0 effort roads where they were too lazy to look how BI's roads are made, and ended up with roads that have exactly 1 path for AI resulting in them getting run over by their own vic, 1 minute into the campaign, soldiers running through each other cause they don't have additional paths available to use and M113s bugging out and driving in circles cause they "lost" their path after stopping and letting infantry dismount.

Happens too when you use scroll wheel to issue commands so its not'R' key
MrMav no it doesn’t

they were not good campaigns but the content of the DLC was great and they added 3-4 free additional updates with so much more content
Very impressive mission for a independent developer, However the missions can be quite tough..
Love this series

lol dont even ask me
it’s a hard one, more due to some AI issues than actual difficulty, and commanding AI in tanks is super fucking wonky in Arma, i hate doing it

SebSk nah I rather play IL-2 Tank Crew to get my share of realistic tanks
Wurst, hier Semmel xD
10/10 callsigns
This mod is so cool
lol your tac com says "Critical damage" but your crewmember yelled "EVERYTHINGS BURNING"
Nothing shows the weaknesses of this payware mod as good as the quirky tank combat.
Not here to defend GM but you can't blame a 2013 game for having shit AI to 2019 standards lol

i like what your doing... just a hint remove the weapon... but it in the tank :D cause u really dont need the weapon up.. hehe
This mission didn't go as smooth. I always had trouble with the AI following.

Good job.
Can this mission be played on a dedicated server as a co-op mission?

Can you play this online in co-op ? Because I can't find a single server having this DLC on !? Thanks !
yes, AI in Arma is very stressful indeed - Why I now play alone missions if I play SP.
this is not a realistic scenario, right? I fantasized I suppose
bugs this dlc has more then the game
11:00min is this a MG42
MG42 with different caliber and other things aka MG3
MG3, direct descendant of MG42. It's using 7.62x51mm NATO round compared to 7.92x57mm Mauser round that MG42 using.
It would help if the AI couldn't acquire and fire on you through the trees and on the move like that in a fucking T-55. Damn Russian bias!
had to get a refund for this dlc because it was broke
This DLC is so buggy! Units stucks everytime, unpredictable behavior, bugged inventory... I could not expect this from German developer.
Imagine being paid so you cut out how absolutely broken the campaign is.
A) I bought the DLC myself, I can mail you the receipt I got from Steam if you don't believe me
B) I Cut out a bunch of issues that I think would make the video longer and more frustrating to watch
C) If I was being paid by either BI or Vertexmacht or godforbid BOTH I would have told you guys that, but feel free to think that I am being paid, just like I am sure you posted a negative review on the store page filled with a bunch of lies lol
