A few changes today to help with the above:
- Human OPFOR players have about a 25% chance of getting a pair of night vision goggles when they jump into an Insurgency fighter.
- Human OPFOR players get a couple of flares which can be used in grenade launchers and fired into the sky to light up the area.
- Human OPFOR players can also use the flares to start a fire (a good light source which burns for a while and eventually goes out. BLUEFOR can destroy these light sources with a grenade/satchel.
- Human OPFOR players can also use a flare to build a camp fire. These fires don't provide as much light as a burning object, but can't be destroyed. Both sides can light/put out the fire when they are close.
Reminder: The weapons caches all have night vision goggles, flares, IEDS and a mortar now, so definately worth finding if you are playing OPFOR.
Other changes:
- Slightly increased the spawn distance at which OPFOR AI players spawn.
- Updated some notes in the briefing section.
- Minor correction to vehicle parameters at startup.
- Both Takistan and Zargabad maps updated with the above changes.
- Adjusted AI settings (attempting to set various skills such as accurracy and courage rather than just skill).
- Corrected two side mission extensions so the right squad get the mission.

ReplyDeletePretty good news for OPFOR players, It's a pretty good update but I liked more the 10% (was it 10%?) chance of getting NVGs, as you said, its pretty more realistic.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd like to change instead the NVGs rate its the moon phase, but I don't know if it is possible to change that. If it is possible a half moon or full moon will balance OPFOR players without being unrealistic.
And honestly, playing as blufor (Vs. AI) at night its a completely faceroll game, you just kill completely blind and useless enemies.
Just saying, anyways, great update ^^ (I liked that detail of the flares).
PD: Playing with half-full moon without NVGs moon it's gorgeous,
Thanks Drew, yes its a hard life playing OPFOR, when you get it right its very satisfying.
