ZEUS - A NEW ENEMY (defence) | ARMA 3 [ARES, Blastcore Phoenix, JSRS Dragonfyre]

[@Luetin09]

Hey guys sorry for the lack of content this week, we are back on track now. I am asking you guys today if you think I could make any changes to the rules of my Zeus eg. how I fire with artillery or how I setup units please tell me in the comments.

[@emelgeebro1368]

No problem m8! I understand.. Life is in the way -.- Love ur content, can't wait for more missions!

[@ltamez2635]

In my opinion right now the way you do it is perfect, you could try giving the players some small vehicles but give the CSAT some bigger weapons and start inflicting fear on the players with rockets, tanks, ect ect. Rules, it's fine but make sure you start trying to get like a small group to work together so everyone's not doing whatever

[@Giskeoutdoors]

+Luetin09 I love your stuff, and the work you do is great! The only changes I would make is restrict long range optics, to keep the players from picking the AI off from unfair ranges, and maybe, in defence missions like this have more of a pre-planned battleplan so you have a formula to work from, so you dont have to improvise. Like your pre-designated artillery markers, you could have pre-designated LZs, RPs, staging areas and lanes of attack. I think it would make your job easier, and the assaults more organized and more successful. I wont ramble on too long, but an example could be planned waves: 2x marid and 3xinfsquad along lane1, 2x unarmed heli along lane2, 1xtanksection along lane3. I think planning is key, good luck!

[@psychoshy211]

+Jon Åge Giske Andersen Replying to show my support for this idea.

[@YourAscents]

I like how you've started artillery ranging. You might even have the marker close in with each shot: Shot 1 is left and short, Shot 2 is right and over, Shot 3 is effective. Then the players could figure out they were being ranged. I also like the use of the scripted A10 strike because it's pretty. The cluster munitions are pretty too, so use them on AI tanks or empty towns on the player side within the Line Of Sight of the players. I would throw in odd civilians, sometimes fleeing past the players, away from the warzone. I like when the players have limited mortar or artillery use, too. I also think you need a pre-made minefield that you can slap down in a field where players are, so they can suddenly realize they are in one. Minelets could also have been scattered by artillery, Hind or cargo helo or air strike. Need roadside IEDs that can go off near, not under, player vehicles, either by trigger or your activation. More humdrum objectives like attack food supply to deny enemy troops or CSAR, or repair/gather disabled armored vehicles.

[@Hawkmeister_]

I think the reason a lot of players avoided the main objective; was because most of them thought the secondary Defensive objectives; would form somewhat a shield surrounding the science dome. (That and I think players would be bored staying in one spot for 60 minutes!) As it turns out the "shield" had a lot of gaps in the line, thus leading to the outcome of the mission being a failure. Well done, Luetin! Textbook assault!

[@Cristieagle]

Please fuck off.

[@Luetin09]

Mission begins at 14:00

[@George-hg9ql]

+Luetin09 is Friday on, its just that you sad you are have in a small op if it is then can you not target me like last week (its George)

[@Luetin09]

+George Armytage yeah I think I should be good for Friday

[@kyleTQ]

+Luetin09 I have an idea for these defense missions. Why don't you let them get to where they are defending. Then lay on the fog. The fog in arma can be REALLY thick (atleast in the eden editor) and night vis optics cannot penetrate it. It can be really scary at points and would give them a really good night. I think you should try it. The fog can get so thick you can't see 15 meters in front of you. Just an idea I had. I hope you read this and thank you for your time.

[@kaykyg3732]

Thank you

[@miguelluisgorospe8417]

24:50 55:00 58:00 MOST HUMILIATING DEFENSE MISSION IN ARMA 3 -_-

[@dnwiebe]

Was kind of surprised to see so little AA, with such a target-rich environment. Good on putting the artillery in plain sight, to create tension about a mortar attack on the primary objective. However, I was surprised to see that you didn't put a couple or three scientists in the dome and make the mission hinge on them staying alive.

[@Speedy6617]

I understand the frustration of the LMG's. But. As i saa in this mission there were not actually many LMG gunners. And the one u saa in several of the situations were actually me doing my role as a LMG gunner. 1. I supress the enemy so my squad actually have a chanse to advance and do something against the threath. 2. I designate the tgts i supress with tracers with great risk to myself (artillery zeroing in) so my squad again can act against the threath. You do great missions. And rules night be good. But consider this: While i as a player have huge disatvantages as ex gunsway and fatigue, the enemy AI have no issues what so ever sniping me from 500+ meters without beeing affected by gunsway and fatigue. I really like ur vids. And so do many others. Do not worry too mutch about if we the viewers do not think there is enough content in ur vids. There are mutch more content than u think for us actually.

[@consumedman]

Hi Luetin, just an idea if minefields are still visible on the players maps. couldn't you use the artilery mine cluster shells to place non-identified mine fields?

[@Dovahkiir96]

It is kind of a shame there is no fire bombing mechanic for situations where troops are in forests to cut them off, especially withe the close release of apex and its jungles. it would make create a weapon that could easily turn on you

[@MrVampdude]

I liked that old idea of having an army officer VIP in the base that when killed severely undercuts the defending forces' abilities! Might encourage more recon or even assassination strikes?

[@Luetin09]

+MrVampdude I have played with this idea some but it doesnt play out perfect right now. The Nato team still tend to just overwhelm with power than go for precision.

[@MrVampdude]

+Luetin09 I think it's a thing were the players have to learn that abit of finesse is worth more instead of brute power. Say you told them to attack a compound and at the same set an optional objective to take out a Convoy which has a VIP officer on route to the base. If the VIP reaches the vicinity of the base, the CSATs will gain heavy reinforcements (maybe helos or tank platoon or something) or lose artillAry Teach the players that taking out the VIP is efficient y'know? Maybe?

[@YourAscents]

+Luetin09 Maybe a bomb that if not defused in time goes off and kills nearby players, but allows others to continue with other objectives.

[@DarkDemise6066]

Haha you can REALLY tell which players are ghosting your steam. I loved that "Guys I see explosions in the main objective.." at around 26:00.. You might have heard it but there's no way he would instantly call that.

[@koreancowboy42]

Lolz yeah like really dude? Stream sniping? I mean you should not have to be cheating with the stream plus they still lost cause of bad planning and set ups.

[@DanielWiersma]

I really like how zeus turned a shooter into a real time tactical game! Keep up the work Luetin, loving what you do here :)

[@underdose93]

I absolutely love the JSRS eden mod. The sound effects are insanely good. Just waiting for ARMAs Apex graphic update and I will be an incredibly happy little trooper.

[@pvtipotato2782]

Good to see the AI actually attack rather than stand in an open field like lemons XD also good to see the CSAT battle through to victory. Rare sight indeed! Awesome video as usual LT :D

[@teraflexltd]

I'm new here and I love these Zeus missions keep on making more

[@ltamez2635]

Come on man! You're gonna feed my addiction to your videos :(

[@charedet]

+Luetin09 This is what i wanted to see more often!! Sometimes you win missions but you have to show us that sometimes Players can fail the missions Good job and keep it up!!

[@frig200]

+Leutin09 where do I find the direct ip to eu4 when you can't find it?

[@sgtsarge2617]

When you find range with your mortar, sometime make the mortar shoot off and after the range finder shot hits, adjust your arty marker and fire hell

[@Zarviya]

Luetin you should make a mission where they have to attack a main base and if they aren't in the base in a set amount of time say like 20-25 mins then the big arty like the 250mm starts shooting off and all of the main base heavys start to come out. OP LanceLot

[@Wombat8280]

These defence missions are easy because you need to remember it's AI Vs Humans, AI suck.. so throwing a few squads at Human players isn't going to be a challenge, you need to throw more like 400 AI at them at a time for the AI teams to actually do any real damage. Human players can kill 50 AI in a few minutes, shooting fish in a bucket.. give them so much to shoot at, the more AI whom get through the line. They destroy tanks, APC's in small numbers quickly. Plus when the AI spawns miles from the line it gives the Humans time to spot them from miles with better EQ giving the AI 0 chance of reaching their target. Spawn them closer, the only reason they failed this one was because whom ever was in command on the ground failed to either understand his primary objective or isn't a very good leader, or doesn't have any tactical experience. He left his line open in multiple different locations and failed to control his squads and use them to full effect. pathetic attempt to keep his men in static positions without any real defence strategy, other than a wall of bodies. I wouldn't want to be commanded by whomever was in charge of this one. Defeated by AI.. wow, great job Lue.

[@cryptoskid117]

Actually AI can be very effective if you turn up the skill

[@zackbobby5550]

I have a question for you Luetin. So I run a MILSIM unit for Arma 3. We started way back in BF3 on the 360 but that's another story. I have 961 hours in Arma at the posting of this comment, and I log at least 2 hours, usually more a night. In my time playing Arma, I have done many missions, and made many missions, and had many awesome ideas fail miserably just because, as I'm sure you know what I mean, Arma is Arma. There are so many issues we as Arma players run into because of the engine. (Or that's what I'm assuming the issue is.) What I am referring to are things like awful optimization, donut Ai, weird glitches, (for example shooting an Ai with an entire magazine and then him turning around and wrecking you), (falling through stairs for no reason), and just Arma being Arma. Now I will admit, I don't know a whole lot about making games, but I do know Arma has issues that just ruin the game in some ways and make it incredibly frustrating, and in many cases, unplayable. Don't get me wrong. I love Arma, but I hate Arma. You know what I mean. My friends and I have concluded that we would really like to see a whole new, clean engine put under the hood of Arma that was handmade to run the game that we all want Arma to be. I would like to hear your ideas on this as I love hearing you ramble and share your ideas and your knowledge with us. Thanks Luetin, Michael

[@RambUz]

I would like to see more of snipersquads and AA/ATsquads used

[@chrismontross2320]

I've been watching your videos for some time now and i cant get enough of zeus! keep up the great work!

[@duanejourney5665]

I hate you because I have now become hooked on these videos. I remember this game when it came out and wasn't impressed. Wow, it's gotten so good. So of course now I'M starting to learn the game and am getting hooked.It's your fault. I have no idea what I'm doing yet but am loving learning it. Thank you.

[@taylorthomas3205]

That moment when realoper8tor realizes there's no one guarding the objective, and LT doesn't realize AA turrets don't work

[@tomwhitcombe7621]

I wonder after your Apex AI tests defence missions might be more feasible? Perhaps a limit of long weapon optics for none marksmen/sniper units may be a wise idea too. I completely get your points, the AI here just don't have a chance.

[@urbanpope]

Too funny, you did a great job. They were a mob with no command structure.

[@JoramD0]

I love how NATO Researchers are conducting tests in a warzone :D

[@guuspronk1775]

maybe with the new tanoa map defence missions will be more fun for you because of the dense vegitacion the players don't have advantage of there beter scoops

[@supreme1174]

Hey, is there an Mod pack that i can download directly? Or are they only single mods? So my question is, is there an modpack?

[@jackday9424]

Now that was great!!!! AI win, will you be using those 'run and attack' troops again? they were pretty good at over powering the guys. yet again luetin well done on this and thanks

[@haydensewell7531]

How did you make the units not stop moving forward?

[@malusignatius]

Out of curiosity, have you tried a defense mission with the Apex DLC? If so, has it improved the AI behaviour?

[@colinkennedy1718]

When do you do these missions? Are they open to the public?

[@JCR.Visual]

This mission was a massive ballache! Very little inter squad comms, a lack of primary objective cover and open defence constantly!

[@Th3R00k131]

I think what you're doing now is pretty good despite AI incompetence at times. You gave the players a lot of chances and they failed to take proper action. I'm not sure how you would implement this or if you do it already, but I think taking the time to explain where they went wrong in TS or whatever form of communication they primarily use, would help them to improve their game and enrich their experience so they can learn from it, like an After Action Report. Have you ever considered limiting and/or reinforcements for the players? Sometimes I feel the players have too much freedom with the equipment they can bring, the amount of times they can "respawn", the revive mod ect. that you yourself aren't utilizing the same amount of freedom they have. While I do absolutely love this kind of freedom it must be met with equal force. Perhaps by limiting factors it will improve their perceived value by players. You could rationalize this by saying NATO doesn't have and isn't willing spend this much money on [resource(s) of choosing]. e.g. allowing everyone to carry a rocket launcher (if that is indeed the case or they the freedom to do so, but I know they will limited by the weight of it though). The only other thing I could suggest is to keep improving your rationalization and to think more of the processes of things and how you come to rationalize things. I wouldn't go so far as to study book and infantry manuals, but if you did. I think it would greatly improve the experience.

[@Andreas-oq1jd]

dident know u where on the ahoy severs, i have been looking for the servers u play/edit on and i have been playing on it the whole time!

[@OriginalTurgeis]

you add letters where they shouldn't be and take away letters where they are needed. I disapprove

[@austinfournier5445]

Is the script available that kept the units moving while under fire?

[@kustomluke8883]

I personally prefer the invade and annex but zeus is still good content :D

[@iisophii5462]

Why don't you swap it so the Ai are Blufor on the next defend mission?

[@Freak143able]

How can I play on this server?

[@TheParanoidGiraffe]

Luetin, has anyone killed the zeus bird while you were zeusing?

[@Chronophylos]

what do you think about two zeus so you can watch a bit more

[@Destarn]

Went searching for JSRS 3 Dragonfyre , found JSRS 4 Apex , completly diffrent mod , to be honest JSRS 4 sound are pretty bad. Wipeout's BRRT is ........ And car's engine sounds like electric engine and lots more bad sounds /not changed (just like jet engine sound)

[@asherslain3287]

Which ahoy world server is this eu2?

[@rubenvenema1]

Yay a new zeus video :D

[@Luetin09]

+Kamikazepilot Forevah I will have another set for tomorrow as well

[@emelgeebro1368]

+Luetin09 omg can't wait!!

[@nejiman12]

Why not make restrictions, like more role based infantry for NATO like the AI do. Infantrymen could only use iron sights or close optics and so forth.

[@nejiman12]

Would definitely allow more of the AI to get in close instead of being sniped before they have the chance

[@KeikoFXDesigns]

That was cool!

[@DSteude]

What the Fuck, this was a very good Mission!!!

[@tuttifruttiM7]

loving the vids

[@stdleagueoflegends5122]

Where did you get that AI script? Thank you

[@kennykroger6004]

I can tell, u were mad at these guys, bad soldiers right there

[@reaperunit4863]

how do i get to your server

[@jeremypittman2084]

Nice video

[@unoriginaljoe7159]

haha, nice to see a mission where you want to see them fail

[@danielfclp]

hwy LT, how can i join one of your operations?

[@proletariandisciple]

Planetside 2 is not Pay to Win, at least not when I last played which was a couple months ago.

[@danilojr64]

why don't you make your missions available to download

[@miguelluisgorospe8417]

Although if I were him, I would have made the mission a failure once those grenades (or any explosives) gone off just to teach those players attentiveness. No offense intended tho. Still a great mission :)

[@ZeroHatredKing]

you should make jat war video

[@FusionTrain]

i have gotten banned from ahoy for being teamkilled :(

[@noface_rshard9645]

some work is needed on the Ai they are pretty crap just run into death without a firing a shot

[@thegoldapple540]

arma 3 Zeus how to play as other enemies

[@Coldboyps]

luetin why are your streams so late am normally asleep never get a chance to watch

[@Luetin09]

+Coldboy33 because work, because living, because quieter, because its good for UK&US

[@Coldboyps]

[@DonMuffatello]

@Luetin why do you always play Zeus, be a foot soldier yourself and get someone else to be Zeus e.g. Level cap

[@Luetin09]

+DonMuffatello I always play zeus because people want me to do it

[@DonMuffatello]

+Luetin09 ok, btw I'm not trying to be hostile, ur vids are great this was probably the best one of the Zeus I have seen, except of course Jim the mortarman

[@midomida1146]
