Arma 3 gameplay 02-21

Setting up some base defenses, and using bodies of water to help funnel the enemy troops into a small area. We shall see if they can defend this time, though I usually throw a lot of troops on the opposing side since they are not dug in. Arma 3 is fun like that, its a war sandbox game and replaying it you always get different outcomes.

I built out my player with a rocket launcher and a rifle, but everyone else are default squads you can select. I drop them in by the road that is covered by water on both sides.

Adding more troops up on the hill and we shall see how far their weapons reach. Not sure if that MRLS system will even do anything. Some of the vehicles seem to be just for looks and do not fire upon the enemies, maybe I am missing something.

Starting the sim, we now wait. I have learned putting troops too close I tend to instant die. Not sure if its a glitch or they just go to shoot me first.

Zooming out we can see how far that winding road is, probably a half mile or more away.

Now the fighting has started, a puff of smoke was from a rocket reaching out to its target.

Looking back up the hill, sometimes the tower will get blown up by the enemies using rockets and heavy machine guns.

I walk down to the pinch point to see if I can get a shot off on the enemy.

But I get distracted by a bunny that is running by. Run bunny run! Its dangerous around here!!!

Spawning in some enemy helicopters it gives me and my troops something to engage before the ground units arrive. Its a hard shot but I score a hit.

The helicopter starts losing altitude and I make a run for it in case they land and troops are able to disembark.

Though it hits the ground hard and explodes, leaving no souls alive.

One of the ground troops carriers makes a run through the forest and comes right for the heavily enforced area.

The tides turn and my defense force mostly gets killed, so the heavy tanks show up. Seems they were waiting so they would not be easy targets for rockets. Now they can drive right up unopposed. I get killed and respawn on the enemy team to get a different perspective. Yep the defense force got over run, just glad the game did not crash on me this time.
