Nation changing sides during campaign..

[Bedouin]

Hi fellow flyers and great community,

 

I am in the very early stages of planning a campaign, where i will start a fictional Russian civil war...

 

So i want to know if its possible to do missions in the campaign where some missions the russians are allied to US and other missions they are the enemy of the player... Will the campaign editor accept this..?

 

Is this understandable and even possible...

 

Thanks in advance...

Each mission is independent of the others. So, Yes, you switch the coalitions from one mission to the next.

I had a mission where the vehicles were mixed up - some Blue groups consisted of Russian type units, and some Red has US type equipment. It was confusing to the Clients and resulted in some team kills, based upon visual ID and attacking.

 

I ended up not mixing the types - it was too messy.

I did a campaign of five missions. I started with a template where each mission area was defined by a large zone. I then laid down many of the common elements before working on the individual missions -- such as all the FARPS for both sides, wrote the briefings for each mission and decided on the weather and dates in the year.

 

Each mission is completely independent of the others. I don't think there is a way to extend the results of one mission into the other - if there is it would be some complex script stuff, to be sure.

 

 

I need to warn you about something - it is the reason my campaign is not being run at present. During the development, I found in SP testing that Ground Commanders can control AI aircraft. This feature ended up being a major element in three of the five missions; without this feature these missions just are not balanced and playable. Don't fall into a trap where your missions need Ground Commander control over AI a/c until that feature is fixed in Combined Arms for all Clients in multiplayer who are in GC slots.

Thanks for the answers...!

 

My campaign is a single-player campaign, so i dont know if the warning from Wrecking Crew still is relevant, but i will then have to attention to this feature..
