Nuggets is an awesome artillery operator. He's straight to the point and does what he's told perfectly. He's exactly who you want dropping Arty in this situation.
This is why it's important to give random names to the objectives, that way even if the enemy has your comms they have no idea which one 'burger bar' or 'golf two' is until it's destroyed. Developing a playbook where these names change every set amount of time also keeps the enemy in the dark if they are listening on your comms. That way if you call out smoke near 'bad rock' the enemy will know that spot as 'bad rock' but the next time you call that same spot 'red gatorade' OpFor will assume it's a different location. We once did a breaching exercise and each step was called over the radio as baseball terms that matched the step, 'pitch' was firing the MCLC (Mine Clearing Line Charge, essentially a rocket that leaves a string of C4 behind it to clear obstacles). Awesome video, I'm a sucker for the sneaky spec ops stuff.
The MACV-SOG had a 100% casualty rate during the Vietnam War. Meaning that, on average, every single operator was either wounded or killed. Obviously, some were wounded many times over while others didn't suffer a scratch, but it's still an insane statistic none the less.
Yeah, I was like "Wait a minute, is one of the crew wearing a rice hat. Oh well, they gotta be since Drew isn't reacting at all." Doesn't help that he was basically walking in the same direction as the squad, just slipping into the ranks.
I've always thought it would be cool to do a "Time Travelers War" similar to this where one group is massive but from a time period where weapons are obsolete to modern standards, they have little to no radio coms and lack many luxuries afforded to modern special forces(like night vision, weapon sights etc). The other team would be the time travelers, using modern weapons, sights, radios, equipment. All to see how a modern Special forces team would stack up to shear numbers.
I've always wanted to play a game like that tbf, just for the sheer meme of a player in full modern gear getting wiped out by a longbow in the heat of it.
Pleeeease repeat this anytime in the future. The idea was sooo good and all it wouldve needed was coded radiotalk to become one of the greatest arma pvp scenarios ive ever seen
On behalf of the rest of Savage Game Design, glad you enjoyed what they brought to Arma! Gotten to talk with quite a few of them and it's very badass, lot of work went into it. Thank you for appreciating this DLC, Drewski.
It’s these videos that inspired me to get a pc and start arma 3. It was a little hard at first to get into and I’m still learning but I just gotta thank you. I already have a team of people that I do ops with every other weekend and it’s the most fun that I’ve had in years. Sure I’m still learning all the key binds but I really do got a thank you you man.
You should establish target reference points along your infil and exfil routes, It’ll be much easier to Call for fire. Having go to hell points pre established might also help to evade. Have pre established alternative frequencies, when you think a radio is compromised, do a net call to “alternate freq 2, 3, etc”. Also think about timing your charge detonations with artillery impacts to mask the sound. Fun to watch, you guys did awesome. I’m overseas deployed rn hopefully I can hop on a game when I get home. Keep creepin’ Much love, K
First idea I had watching the beginning is having the chopper fake a deployment to another part of the map, closer to the enemy in a random direction from you. Basically, get them to scout that the place first or believe that you've split up into 2 groups. They could quickly verify second landing zone as empty but it would always play on their minds, having potential threats on a different line.
For anyone who hasn't read John Stryker "Tilt" Meyer's book "Across the Fence," I would highly recommend it. Many of the missions in this DLC are based on real events that John was part of and describes in his book. On one mission across the border, John's hatchet team (about 35 men) inserted next to a regiment-sized (around 1500 men) Vietcong/NVA element and had to hold them off with the help of some fast air for several hours whilst their extraction arrived. Incredible stuff, highly recommended read. The audiobook is on Audible too, narrated by John.
I would like to see this same operation played out again, but without the enemies being on the same comms channel. This was such a great video. Finding out the comms was bugged made it seem like the team was cheated. Even then, bugged comms is realistic. Looking forward to seeing more of these nighttime, Vietnam DLC videos! 👍👍
I love your videos. Could you include screenshots during your after mission conversations with your buddies. For example @42:30 when your guy switched teams and saw the "gravity" of the situation a screenshot of the map would be amazing to see from their side. :)
Awesome editing and video! Before you start next time, gotta have a breifing. Codes for everything...Each objective has a name only your team knows in case the enemy are on your comms, (Burger King, Wendys, In-N out etc).. Give a codename for the comm channels in case they're listening make it something like "colors" so no one on the team gets confused you hear a color you're talking about comms...In case someone still forgets which color is which, use 4 options you know they can just click through until they hear you, radio check to copy. Switch comms at least every 3-5 minutes, (artillery guy can remind you or call the change on a timer), "switch comms to red...switch to white, go to Blue" etc. And lastly, north, south east and west need new names.
"SUper tense, life and death situation. Our hero realizes he is the last alive, HE coming in on his location.* "WHERE YEW AT BOI?!" "COME AT MEH BRUH!"
This was a really good watch, too bad they were on your comms the whole round :/ Could you do another one plz? Need the satisfaction of you actually winning lol
@@wenegu the enemy team somehow found their radio frequency. I don't think it was streamed at all so it's impossible they streamed sniped, they got them by the book, using in game mechanics
@@frigglebiscuit7484 Not really cheaty when opfor in multiple wars did just that. Thats just war. I agree about bombing the objectives out of spite though give em the ol Shake and Bake! (3-6 rounds HE followed by the same in WP)
Its actually realalistic that the enemy team could hear their comms...the NVA listened in on SOG teams all the time so they wouldnt talk much on the radio (just clicks to let the good guys know they were ok or real short convos so they couldn't use triangulation to figure out their location) unless shit hit the fan..which happened a lot...and often
Me, at just shy of seven minutes: wait, they're trying to spot across this river into the jungle at night and nobody thought to bring a starlight scope? Me, literally five seconds later: Oh. Good man.
You imagine running through there at night knowing not only that you can get shot but stepping on a cobra or some of the really messed up boobytraps that built. Great video
Idk if they're in Vietnam, but in south/central america there's gnarly ass jungle hornets that make their nests about 4-6 feet off the ground. Right at fucking face level.
This was amazing. I was trying to think what Vietnam war movie soundtrack would work with this. Could use different bits from different movies. Any way, loved it. Please do more.
Tge fact that this gamemode exists is super cool. What's crazy is that the sog missions had over a 100% casualty rate, everyone who went through these missions was injured more then once if not killed. They're only advantage over the NVA was American Air power. Almost all of their missions received contact. And because these missions where top secret, for YEARS their families had no idea how they died. They didn't have night vision capabilitys so they depended heavily on sound and smell to alert them of NVA in the extremely dark jungle. Walking on established trails was a death wish so, just imagine stumbling blind over rocks and logs finding your way with nothing more then a map in tge dark. These men where brave as hell.

I killed Fu, saw his legs when the WP lit everything up. Too bad I didn’t see you...
dayum son
I might be biased because I’m a big fan of sneaking missions, but that was the most exciting I’ve seen in quite a while. Great job
That intro looks like something from a $20,000,000 budget movie. HELL. YES.
We need more of this. It's so insanely immersive!
We need another one of these this was so entertaining!!
Is there a VC perspective for this? I'd like to watch that too!
Me too!
totally, why there is none??
Yesssss I was looking forward to this, and now you delivered! Awesome
Would love to have seen the enemy POV on this one-especially after learning they had cracked the Enigma code hah
I personally really like the dark aesthetic. Yeah it's hard to see but when things get lit up it gets real intense
