Possible solution to your artillery placement bias would be to roll a directional dice and your D20 similar to how it's done in WH40K. You look top down over the squad you want to place the marker, the D20 decides how many meters away the blast will move and the directional dice gives you the direction. If 1-20m doesn't feel like a big enough spread then double the result (If say you roll a 10 then that could be a direct hit so at least there is a chance at a direct hit). You then move the marker roughly how many meters it rolls for in that direction, could just randomly pick a NESW heading if you don't have a directional dice. It should be a fairly quick and easy way for you to put more randomness in the location of your artillery/mortar marker.
Can I make one small suggestion? As a jet mechanic for several years, I thing I know for sure is you can't park jets on grass. Foreign objects (FOD) ingested when the engine is running ruins engines. I know it's a small, picky point, but it helps immersion if you keep that in mind. Thanks, Luetin... this video is great as always. Your videos are always the ones I look forward to mucho.
I love watching Zeus missions. It is very much like watching someone be a live action Dungeon Master...but for ARMA instead of a dungeons and dragons. :)
Wasn't really into observation /CNC videos but this channel has grown on me, because things can go either way for either team you actually find yourself rooting for these guys to win. Keep it coming Luetin09, love these videos!!!!

Hey Luetin, ever thought about using some kind of Medevac system for the teams? Would be awesome if they secure a compound so a helo can land and take the wounded/dead back to base to either medic up fully and/or bring back some heavy armor. Would totally love to see this plus it would only take 1-2 guys to fill that role. btw, awesome video so far :D
We actually discussed this in the debrief after this mission. The problem is that with a dedicated medevac system it takes at least 3 people out of the actual ground action. Now if we were fielding a group of 30-40 people that wouldnt be an issue, but usually we run with 15-20 guys for frames but also just how we are set right now. So taking away people who may not be that active is not really ideal right now... but its not out of the question and we will see how things go along
Could you use the logistic support function of the ALiVE mod to support such a task? Add in BLUFOR AI which is dedicated to that function and the Command can call in for the pickups. I am not sure how it would interact with other mods in use though. If it could be done then you wouldn't have to utilize players on the squads. Not sure if they medic function would allow the AI to heal and get members back in the fray.
At 15:51 wouldn't that Jet be picked up by radar and intercepted by an enemy jet? And at 8:27 wouldn't that Turret gunner radio'ed them in for artillery or something similar?
LT, love the part where you put down trip mines, please use these more, they were incredibly entertaining to watch and it also adds a new threat to worry about. As usual good work, hope to see more soon.
I got a tank museum advert which is pretty neat. I really enjoyed the concept for this mission, the several objectives over an island layout are satisfying to me for some reason.
I love the new medic system! Really gives the player a real sense of danger, because getting back up is a more of an issue. Makes it all that more interesting to watch!
You know I was thinking of you making a real life like situation like the enemies will instantly react to your subjects when near them. And smart like a real person would do. (Basically make it hard and tell them to be more aware of their surroundings) This is just an option.
I have a LOT of hours on arma 3 and do personal AI mods for my unit, but having AI like this isn't feasible unless someone coded an entirely new engine from the ground up, you can tweak how the AI Act like in the ASR AI mod but you can't make them lifelike, when you turn their awareness up they basically see through walls, too low and the can't see five feet in front of them. Sorry but it's not really possible due to game limitations.
Luetin would love to see some more urban stuff, like Helios landing on roofs dropping troops off and rappelling down the walls to save a hostages or kill an HVT
Idea: If they take a heli down the enemies will feel deterred to send in more reinforcements for the fear of getting killed like their comrades did. So next time they successfully shoot down a heli, you shouldn't send in anymore, likewise with troop transports.
That when your guy dident move or shoot is a problem that i have too, I use remote control but they won't move or shoot and sometimes they AI still control the soldier.
Maybe it’s unfair. But I feel like if you get nuked and stuck in a ball of flame you should be KIA for the rest of the game. But that’s no fun so having the ability to come back even after you get toasted is really cool.
How about a mission where some guys have to para drop into a compound, and then hold it till a reinforcement convoy made out of the majority of the players can break through a defensive line and relieve them?
Luetin09 I'm a beginner missionmaker but people very like my mission can u give me link to this map or just tell me name of this map ? . By the way thanks for your work on RUclips thanks to you I started doing my own missions :) Good job and again thanks for it
the point is that every guy that gets down can get revived and by the end the player casualties are very scarce, or almost none, thats what makes the mission unrealistic
As others said before; entertaining video. It's very nice to see your vids where you and the players take the game seriously and act "more pro" than what I've seen myself in games. Since the ai is so stupid and generally bad, have you tried human vs human, so the defending side is human too? Your job as Zeus is then to handle reinforcements, artillery, perhaps adding ai to the sides when different objectives are met and bother stuff? Is such gameplay doable in your opinion? Regards
Hey dude I came onto your public server after watching some of your vids, mainly the new player guides :D however your public server seems... dead? is there a best time to jump on it?
well its not my public server its BSO, Shadow and Joko mainly work on the public stuff I have very little to do with it. Evenings UK time is the best time of day there are people usually on around that time
Awesome will try an get on this weekend, had a few games on the official servers but nothing major wanna play with people who can show me the ropes proper, keep up the awesome series as well already learnt a lot from u
Hey I have a mission idea if your interested and you think he should try this comment your opinion So objective is the enemy's have a huge well heavily guarded base with heavy tanks apc's and more The players* Will do a heavy assault with tanks , apc's etc They have to neutralize the enemy base before reinforcements arrive it's your choice to choose what are the reinforcements after that they must defend the base from enemy attack and wait until AI friendly's arrive and capture the base .Hope you like my idea.
Do you have a trick to get the mod units from CUP etc... to appear in the zeus menu? I usually have to pre-place them in the eden editor prior to starting the mission but perhaps it is different when you are on a mp server vs me bumming around in sp.
That is definitely not the ace pain. I know how pain looks like and rather that 15:33 looks like camera flashing. And even he is in zeus control mode at that time.
I don't think so. zeus is not hurt at that time. And if it is ace pain, it should flashing until suppress that pain by morphine or aid kit. But in that time at 15:33 the flash is just once. and ace pain appears white around the edge of screen and some flashing.
Hello, I need help from a computer geek real fast! I'm getting a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 with an i7-7700hq, and a GTX1050ti. Would I be able to play Arma 3 on that? If yes then would I be able to play on at least everything set to high with shadows, grass, and AA off? Thanks in advance.
Probably. It won't run great, but it'll run. If you're not happy you can stuff on Steam within 14 days if you have less than 2 hours playtime. (It's also on sale right now.)
VSM (for the clothing), Ares, Blastcor (not sure),SM (for the weapons), CUP maps (and core), all red hammer studio mods I may have missed something tho
Love these videos make me want to buy the game so much but I know I can't run it on the laptop I've got so it's just all depressing but if I ever do get a good enough pc and the game will definitely be trying to play in the public matches but keep up the good work the vids are great and I'm loving them thanks

Anyone else notice the guy jump off the building and scream at 37:29?
Don't really hear the scream tho
Stomp Gaming you’re not very smart are you
Mate u must be the best zeus out there srsly
i realize I am kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
MRLA's Never fire in single missile volleys (except for one that have a lot less of them) ranging would be done with atleast 3 per voley

That's the most interesting mission I have ever seen. It looks like something that would happen in Battlefields 3 campaign
31:10 "Alright we're clear and... oh nope"
At 15:51 wouldn't that Jet be picked up by radar and intercepted by an enemy jet? And at 8:27 wouldn't that Turret gunner radio'ed them in for artillery or something similar?

4 ads only on a 1:42:06 Video? Impressive

What's an ad?
@@davidrenz1534 6 now
Arma 3 is without doubt the best game of its genre. Nice video btw
I got a tank museum advert which is pretty neat. I really enjoyed the concept for this mission, the several objectives over an island layout are satisfying to me for some reason.
1:06:27 That is a direct violation of the Geneva Convention :D
would love if u included ur talk with the players afterwards at the end
I love the new medic system! Really gives the player a real sense of danger, because getting back up is a more of an issue. Makes it all that more interesting to watch!
I loved the scramble thing at the start seemed realistic and very cool.
LT, the boat issue looks like the boats are riding waves at 100% (stormy), whereas the actual waves are 10-20% (calm).
I love how LT does not get mad, he gets even.
Also.... Bitches be trippen...mines am i right.

20:00 +Luetin09 do u use the Advanced Movement mod? because they could've utillized it there
Gotta love ACE Medical, 3 mag dumps into a guy bleeding on the ground and he's still not dead.
I've learnt so much from your videos. Thanks mate. It's always a good game for me to stream as people are Intrigued by it.
DangerousDan yeet
Luetin would love to see some more urban stuff, like Helios landing on roofs dropping troops off and rappelling down the walls to save a hostages or kill an HVT
Late to the game but I must say very enjoyable to watch. Sat and watched almost 2 hrs of entertainment. What else do you do in quarantine :)
Just gotta love those 39 gripens
Kul att de inte var bara jag som såg det

that btr driver you was controlling got wrecked! XD
That when your guy dident move or shoot is a problem that i have too, I use remote control but they won't move or shoot and sometimes they AI still control the soldier.
So how did post die, but the guys that lit up like the 4th of July in the fuel Depot didn't?
Amazing video I recently bought this game and it's worth every bit and I have a q do you always make videos around arma?
54:25 one of THE great moments!
1:24:52 literally thought that was an ai cos of the reaction time aim and decision making omg
Nice video as always, LT. Hoping to hop in one of the public games soon, now that I have decent squad experience on other lighter servers.
Luetin, fan of your vids. I have a question, do you have the distance of visibility down to help with frame rate? or is that as high as it goes?
Maybe it’s unfair. But I feel like if you get nuked and stuck in a ball of flame you should be KIA for the rest of the game. But that’s no fun so having the ability to come back even after you get toasted is really cool.
13:55 Idk what it was but this moment was kinda funny
when you are playing a server with mods, do you need to have downloaded the mod or the server will implement the mod itself?
Psycho is probably named after the British SAS guy in the Crysis series.
So do you have like written rules and parameters that you play within? It sounds like you do an I’d be really interested in reading about them if so.
How about a mission where some guys have to para drop into a compound, and then hold it till a reinforcement convoy made out of the majority of the players can break through a defensive line and relieve them?
Great video as always!
11:01 is not a tank it's a armor APC.
Luetin09 I'm a beginner missionmaker but people very like my mission can u give me link to this map or just tell me name of this map ? . By the way thanks for your work on RUclips thanks to you I started doing my own missions :) Good job and again thanks for it
sorry for my english i'm from Poland
adrian oles isla abramia
I think the map is Island Panthera (not completely sure though). EDIT: Apparently it is Isla Abramia, my bad.
No problem thx
You always make me wanna play Arma lol
What map is this Isla Duala? I used to have it but I forgot the name.
44:15 LT says.
the point is that every guy that gets down can get revived and by the end the player casualties are very scarce, or almost none, thats what makes the mission unrealistic
i wish i had arma 3 when it was on discount. Now i must wait for christmas
Which mod added the missile systems? If it's RHS I'm just blind, but if it's another I would love to know.
Darcy Gaming rhsafrf
What mods did you use?

Whenever I go on steam and download maps it won't let me use zues only eden editor any way to solve this
This looks straight out of a command and conquer generals mission
Where can you find the public server to play and have fun?
How do you edit while playing??
How you can hear them while your are on zeus and your character far away
U should put the debreifs at the end of the video
You ever think about using mods for a World War or Vietnam operation?
Hey dude I came onto your public server after watching some of your vids, mainly the new player guides :D however your public server seems... dead? is there a best time to jump on it?
well its not my public server its BSO, Shadow and Joko mainly work on the public stuff I have very little to do with it. Evenings UK time is the best time of day there are people usually on around that time
Awesome will try an get on this weekend, had a few games on the official servers but nothing major wanna play with people who can show me the ropes proper, keep up the awesome series as well already learnt a lot from u
Do you knw how to use scud missile by using Zeus
Hey, i was wondering if your using a zues interface mod? I noticed that the one your using is different from the one i use
He uses Ares
Been waiting for this....enjoy your videos LT, MEDIC !!!!!!! Hahaha....
what are the jets that take off in the beginning? because they are beautiful.
Epicwrapper Saab Gripen
Hey I have a mission idea if your interested and you think he should try this comment your opinion
So objective is the enemy's have a huge well heavily guarded base with heavy tanks apc's and more
The players* Will do a heavy assault with tanks , apc's etc
They have to neutralize the enemy base before reinforcements arrive it's your choice to choose what are the reinforcements after that they must defend the base from enemy attack and wait until AI friendly's arrive and capture the base
.Hope you like my idea.
Do you have a trick to get the mod units from CUP etc... to appear in the zeus menu? I usually have to pre-place them in the eden editor prior to starting the mission but perhaps it is different when you are on a mp server vs me bumming around in sp.
Thanks that got it! all my google searches kept pointing me to use the addons module synced to the game master which did not work.
Whats the name of the public server your community has? @Luetin09
Ahoyworld
What map are they playing on?
He says it in the video, but it is called Isla Abramia by IceBreakr.
Hello Luetin
What mod list are you using?
Can you write a title, or give a link?
Read the description.
Can I know what fuction is that flashing moment at 15:33 ? Is that just a screenshot moment? or zeus fuction?
eststar1 it's a type of pain in ACE
That is definitely not the ace pain. I know how pain looks like and rather that 15:33 looks like camera flashing. And even he is in zeus control mode at that time.
eststar1 it is ace medical, it's just bugged so it flashes as well in Zeus
I don't think so. zeus is not hurt at that time. And if it is ace pain, it should flashing until suppress that pain by morphine or aid kit. But in that time at 15:33 the flash is just once. and ace pain appears white around the edge of screen and some flashing.
Wasn't the AI he was controlling hurt and the flashing was more than once, not sure though.
And what mod is this
how do i join the squad 2 play live i ave no mates that play arma
Hello, I need help from a computer geek real fast! I'm getting a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 with an i7-7700hq, and a GTX1050ti. Would I be able to play Arma 3 on that? If yes then would I be able to play on at least everything set to high with shadows, grass, and AA off? Thanks in advance.
Probably. It won't run great, but it'll run. If you're not happy you can stuff on Steam within 14 days if you have less than 2 hours playtime. (It's also on sale right now.)
Mod name of the us soldiers?
What is his website?
Great video :D
the ejected pilot should have surrended once on ground
why does midnight always seem to have the absolute worst luck
Mods used?
VSM (for the clothing), Ares, Blastcor (not sure),SM (for the weapons), CUP maps (and core), all red hammer studio mods
I may have missed something tho
Bruh thanks are the red hammer studio modS RHS?
Edward Page yup
Thank you!
SomeKindaSpy maybe ACE too
Love it LT
At 40:48 What is the Mod called with Islamic states, Boko Haram ECT?
Decrypt hazard Project OPFOR
