Rising Dawn
 
This is the first contract for the newly started AHOSEC, we don't have all of our gear from the main-base yet, and it doesn't look like it will be arriving anytime soon because of the blockade offshore.
 
NATO has contracted us with intel gathering in a low-hostile zone, we are to drive up and talk with the contact and get the whereabouts on a HVT.
 
Nato warns us that we need to pass an OPFOR cache on the way there, and we are free to engage and take what we can.
 
Also the town we are going to, has seen an increase in OPFOR flyovers, we dont know what they are planning yet but we should be in and out quickly enough to not see any significant action.
Hardware and gear is limited as the OPFOR blockade is still in-effect.

I rarely use a pistol and I think the .45 Nato thing serves it purpose as a sidearm. PG service was broken as f... last time I checked it out, and its basically a black vest and some shirts and a re-textured littlebird so the guerrilla uniforms serves plentiful as a "pmc" uniform.
 
Also im trying to keep the list down so that users dont have to dl XX amount of mods to play. And i find that using a small amount of mods keeps the compatibly in check.

This thread is for discussion AHOSEC missions and other relevant topics regarding it

Hi everyone, my name is alganthe and i'm probably the one who played the most with uavs on I&A.
I'm here today to help you, scrubs, to use the uavs efficiently.
 
It's pretty simple but you need to know it, i'll cut the guide in 4 parts.
1: connecting and taking off
2: standard bombing
3: in depth use
4 troubleshooting
 
1: connecting and taking off
 
 The thing you need to know about uavs on I&A is that they spawn WITHOUT CREWS INSIDE THEM
so even if the vehicle is present, IT'S EMPTY.
 
to place a crew inside a freshly spawned uav / ugv and take off  you need to :
Get to the pc area at base on your left when you respawn. Press the cycle crew button (pc on the left) and then KILL YOURSELF it's important, it prevent some bugs (only you as uav operator can see the option, you need to do it yourself everytime a uav respawn) connect to the desired uav and then REALLY IMPORTANT take control of the TURRET (gunner). wait 5 seconds so the engine start to run. release control of the uav, wait 3s and take control of the UAV (driver). taxi to the runways, put your flaps down and take off  
simple eh ?
 
2: standard bombing
 
you have 2 ways to bomb, locking on a laser painted target, or divebombing
on this guide I'll cover only the first one.
 
To bomb you need to:
 
Have someone lasing with a laser designator the attachement doesn't work. that person need to keep the lase steady come in a direction where the target and the laser is visible (no obstacle in front) thoses are what you need to be able to release your gbus, here is how I bomb:
 
I climb high enough to not get shot by AAA (over 1 000m) I come from the right direction previously given by the person who is lasing I switch to manual fire I then press R when i'm seeing red dots on my radar and that I know i'm approaching the target I then fly over and wait till the diamond / circle appear (depends on how you drop it) then I release my gbu  
3 in depth
 
there is some things you need to know about the uavs
it's possible to lock the turret on a direction by pressing CTRL+T
it's also possible to lock on a target by pressing CTRL+T on it (useful for lasing moving targets from the sky)
 
the best way to lase something yourself is to :
Placing a loiter waypoint by pressing shift+right click then waypoint type then loiter. change the altitude to 2 000m. when the uav is in poistion switch to the gunner seat. lock the target with CTRL+T and lase it.  
4 troubleshooting
 
I don't have any uav : wait for them to respawn (place a darter at the hangars to see if they're here) I see my uavs but I can't connect to them : cycle the uav crew / respawn my uav just exploded : it might happen if you don't follow this guide or if you teamkilled (sometimes they do it because they want to) my uav is not following my waypoints : It happens when the server is running for a long time, wait 5 minutes if the uav keep ignoring waypoints the server needs a restart I can't see when i'm around 1500 1600m why ? : don't forget to increase the view distance in the scroll wheel option (settings) AND in your video options.  
 
short version for lazy readers and the mission
 

how to use uavs:

1.Get to the pc area at base (look left after you respawned)

2.Press the cycle crew button (pc on the left) and then kill yourself (do it everytime you loose a uav to prevent explosions)

3.connect to the  uav and then  take control of the TURRET (gunner).

4.wait 5 seconds so the engine start.

5.release control of the uav, wait 3s and take control of the UAV (driver).

when a uav is empty repeat the previous steps
