SACTAC Vietnam

Join as commander in the joint effort between U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam (USMACV) and Commander Task Force 77 (CTF 77). Stationed in Vietnam, you need to prioritize enemy targets and ship orders to Strategic Air Command (SAC) and Tactical Air Command (TAC).

• 42 handcrafted missions, which also includes some ground operations preceding actual air combat.
  
• Spawn a wingman to help you, and get those cool views
  
• Play famous set pieces, such as Hamburger Hill, Arc Light and Linebacker missions, Battle of A Shau and many more.
  
• Two famous air bases handcrafted and reimagined on the Cam Lao Nam map.
  
• Fly any aircraft included in S.O.G Prairie Fire, Unsung Redux and S.O.G Nickel Steel.
  
• Optionally, replay any mission with random weather and time of day.
  
• Besides custom missions, you can also play an infinite number of randomized missions, choosing any aircraft you want.
  
• High attention to ambience and immersion
  
• Custom radio chatter during missions
  
• Custom nonsense talk, combat talk or trash talk from NPCs around you.

(I made a reshade preset for more immersion, includes cinematic DOF, color correction and tint)

• Not compatible with mod "SOG AI", it will break playing this scenario. It's not needed anyways, since it's mostly air ops.
  
• Trees and objects might suddenly appear floating, this is due to a memory issue in the arma 3 engine.
  Can be partially fixed by upping the launcher parameter for "System Memory Limit" to at least 12288. The issue might return though, only later. If so, restart the scenario.
  
• Ambient ground action might lower your fps. If so, turn it off in console with "random_fights = false"
  
• Landing after missions is optional, use mousewheel action to find option to skip landing.
  
• Deformer plugin is needed, it was used to edit terrains for air bases.
  
• No saves available, due to performance issues. Successful missions are instead flagged as completed, and not selectable when selecting the next mission to play. Persistent on restarts. Most missions are short, so shouldnt be a major problem.
  
• Bomb sight for high altitude heavy bomber, its not visible above ~1600 meters, due to it´s implementation with dive bombing in mind.
  
• Read briefing-> mission notes, and controller/action notes for important info on some aspects of the game.
  
• If stuck in "flyby/target" camera mode. Just press CAPS LOCK to get back to player view.
  
• No handholding, this presupposes Arma 3 flying skills
  
• If you just want to fly around, watch the scenery, without worrying about getting killed: Bring up the console
  and type: "player allowDamage false; vehicle player allowDamage false;" and execute.
