Playable choppers on 'blue' and 'red' side

[Pavlos]

Greetings all,

I would be glad if any of you more knowledgeable than me could answer a question I have about missions:

The game manual states that the game, in its multiplayer format, supports "both cooperative and head-to-head gameplay". I believe however I read somewhere in this forum, a post from the developers who said that the current focus until other aircraft are supported, is primarily co-op play. I do recall this but I might be wrong.

Anyway, the question is, is it possible to have some sort of "cooperative but adversarial" play, meaning, a group of Ka-50s belonging to the one side (red), and another group to the other side (blue). Each side would have its own objectives with victory determined as they are achieved (perhaps 1st team to meet objectives wins).

It could be done by sticking different groups on the same side but then there is a problem with 'friendly kills' and with properly separating ground targets for a win condition..

Please let me know if this can be done and give me a few hints about how to get this accomplished with the mission editor. Thanks!

Yes it can be done. Turkey has KA-50's in the sim and is part of the map so you could pit turkey against Russia, thru Georgia.

Thank you Dusty Rhodes, will try it out. This should be very useful for online play.

 

Thanks again.

Turkey invades Georgia for harboring Kurdish Insurgents. Turkey battles Georgia, Insurgents, and Russia comes to the aid of Turkey, while US, UK, etc come to the aid of Turkey. Very doable.
