A Truly Catastrophic Time in Vietnam | Arma 3 Prairie Fire

Ignis decides it would be a fantastic idea to build a poorly supplied FOB in the middle of a jungle saturated with enemy combatants. Nothing a few thousand tons of ordnance can't solve right?

I knew this video was going to be a banger the moment I started to have a hard time finding sound effects for people getting thrown halfway across the FOB. I hope you enjoy watching this catastrophe unfold and if you do consider slapping a like on it! Helps a bunch!

[@grumpyoverlord1031]

This was quite a good OP! having a 40k OP like this would be nice (thousands of enemies you can build your own fortifications.)

[@recroboi1388]

You deserve more subs

[@commanderfoxtrot]

Still gotta do a Vietnam campaign based on that one short film by OATS Studios. It’s got all sorts of magical insanity, from the River God (a peasant so filled with rage from the loss of his family he let himself become a skeletal demon-thing, and can turn invisible), to his ability to make stuff float around in the air (a bunch of tanks and helicopters, and at one point a vehicle disassembled itself above a group of US soldiers), and of course to the protagonist’s abilities to avoid getting hit (as if nature itself was using him as a conduit to remove the River God). Personally, I think you should play as the protagonist and Tails should be the River God, but I guess it’s up to you. As to how you’d gain immunity from being killed, just Zeus yourself into being immortal.

[@connorcombs2597]

Love your videos they always make my day

At least you didn’t have to deal with an OP where the Zeus thought it was a good Idea to drop a country size space colony on Dublin Ireland. Wiping out every living soul.

That theme played when I was down to only the Sevastapool and decided to go "fuck it" and started a nuclear war. Is an amazing game just uh don't use a jammer unless you want the entire hostile fleet to converge on you, just put it on a very fast ship and send it in the opposite direction your main fleet is going.

[@POTUSJimmyCarter]

@@RutakoVon I really tried to get into Foxhole, but honestly the thing that killed it for me was just the perspective. It feels so wrong that engagement distances tend to get artificially limited by the kknda top-down camera angles, and that people specifically aim on diagonals because the camera pans further on corners than in any of the cardinal directions. If it had been more like Running with Rifles I think I'd have enjoyed it more.

*After Battle Report*: Operation Fort Night 2 Following the failure of Operation Fort Night due to a mishap with a Huey, a Tank, and airlift ropes, Operation Fort Night 2 was initiated by Ignis Company with support of the US Air Force. Reports of the operation are mixed and difficult to verify, but it can be determined from eyewitness reports, radio reports, and testimony from Air Force pilots that: - Approximately 2,000 Vietnamese soldiers were killed during the operation - Multiple helicopters were shot down and-or crashed during the operation in and around the FOB - Multiple close air support operations utilizing heavy ordinance originally reserved for Operation Rolling Thunder, including the use of multiple Daisy Cutters being dropped directly on top of the FOB - At least two tanks destroyed involved in airlift and mortar incidents - The FOB received multiple hits from mortars from VC forces - Several trucks were catastrophically lost while loaded with ammunition and fuel, causing casualties - A member of the company reportedly phasing through a chair - Another member of the unit reenacting as a holy European crusader Following the battle, Company commander Jay "Rubix Raptor" was admitted for psychiatric treatment due to a mental breakdown and extreme PTSD. He reported to have been "killed" multiple times, along with several members of his squad having been KIA despite all members accounted for post-mission. He was restrained after being found strangling Ignis member "Tails", who he had reportedly "punched out of his helicopter" before being "run over by his own helicopter". This is still being investigated. 95% of currently evaluated Ignis members also display similar symptoms with varying degrees of affliction. It is recommended for Ignis Company to be immediately pulled out and returned to the US for full psychological examination and possible charges for extreme negligence. *ADDENDUM*: The following file has been requisitioned by the Foundation and is to be removed from the files of the US Military. Any copies found outside of Foundation archives are to be dismissed as a fictional report of an online player group in the military simulation game 'Arma 3'. Ignis Company has been brought to a secure holding site for evaluation as possible anomalies and/or being subject to anomalous effects. MTF command has taken an interest in the unit and may wish to utilize them for possible containment/extermination missions. These requests and subsequent analyses are pending. End of Report.
