Let me know if you experience slowdowns or other issues.

Tried your mission and the very first objective has already an issue:

I talked to the elder at the roadblock and as in the A2 version he told me about a weapons cache in a village starting with K... also I talked to every other person there about their enemy sightings which brought a few takiban camps on the map. The objective has not ticked off anyway. Enemy sniper-like accuracy and randomly spawned APCs in close proximity really eat up my motivation for this mission and ArmA3 in general though.

Thanks for testing, I agree - enemy can be annoying skilled. I will tweak the enemy accuraty, which I already do in the COOP mission for stratis. Also add the code to other A3 missions.

You need to blow/destroy the pile of crates which is in the inner yard of one building complex. I dont also remember the village names, but it should be mentioned in the task informantion.

[mathias_eichinger]

Well, just looked in the log and task list, there is no mention of the village name. I believe the ArmA2 version had the objective checked off and a new one about blowing the crates added, but this is missing here.

Also, the medics appear to be unusable, they cannot be told to treat themselves or anybody other. Good to hear you tweak the mission, since this is an absolute must. Increasing the spawn distance of the enemies would be a good idea as well.
