2025 and this still works
fantastic work Alphadog, epic attention to detail and challenging enough to take it slow and methodical..i was down to just 2 sabre operators, RIP

10/10

Excellent mission. Good job!

I replayed this mission once again (...after once again, long time ago :-D ), still is one of my favorite SP missions! Now, i played with this new DLC, Quick Reaction Forces. It's much more easier when one of my guy carring a folded mortar! :-D Thank you once again !

Wonderful mission!

Perfect yet dramatic during CSAT reinforcements

@gbozoki
Thank you for playing!

@AlphaDog thank you for making this seriesof missions - they're well thought out and well made. Thank you especially for making missions that don't require any addons.

@AlphaDog that makes sense. No need to apologise, the ARMA AI is as dumb as a box of spanners at times. I've done some experimenting and the AI *really* doesn't like having to navigate through deep jungle. Anyway, looking forwards to more of your missions, they're always high quality.

@DarkFire
I'm sorry that occurred! That objective has proven to be a pain for people. The pilot is supposed to run to the VTOL carelessly even if there are enemies in the base, but sadly Arma's AI is unreliable. I however, just thought of a possible solution to the problem you had while typing I was this, but I will need to test it first. Anyways, thank you for playing and for your feedback! It's really appreciated!

This is a great mission. Good to be back with Sabre team! I got stuck babysitting the VTOL pilot though - I defeated the counter-attack on the base and took out a few roving patrols in the jungle but the pilot was stuck staring at a log about 100m away from the camp and wouldn't move in any further. Not sure if I simply missed an enemy somewhere or if the dumb-ass AI got stuck again.

@R3vo
And I accidentally deleted your comment! My mistake! That is the second comment that I've done that to on this mission. I'm an idiot haha.

@R3vo
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for playing! This mission is getting updated today as well due to the waitUntil changes. All the other SABRE missions are up to date though.

fuuuuu...yes....

@stevenlmas
So I accidentally deleted your comment while deleting my reply. Apologies! Anyways, thank you so much for letting me know that the patch may have worked! I'll probably just put a canMove [community.bistudio.com] check to fail the objective if the VTOL becomes too damaged. Otherwise I could just make the VTOL not be able to take damage, but that might be immersion breaking. I'll have an update out for this mission again at some point in the future!

Thanks @alphadog - will give it a go.

@stevenlmas
I could not replicate the bug you were experiencing, but I've updated the mission anyways with a possible fix to the issue. Please let me know if you continue to have this issue because there is another solution I could try, but that will take a little more time then I have atm.

@stevenlmas
The trigger is set off when the pilot is in the VTOL and starts to take off (i.e. is flying). More than likely it is a bugged waypoint with the pilot. I'm working on updating all my missions atm so I'll be sure to take a look at that! Thanks for reporting the bug! I will try to post the update to this one as quickly as possible!

A lot of fun - as always... I'm stuck, though. The pilot gets in the VTOL, but never leaves even though now enemies are left (that I can find, any way). What's the trigger needed to get him to leave?

VERY COOL!!!! :)

A really nice mission. Had a lot of fun. Great work!

This is an excelent example of a PERFECT mission. Outstandig work, amazing!!

Great! I will look for your missions in the future!

@bboy
Thank you for playing! I plan to make more Sabre missions in the future. I've mapped out the rest of the campaign, but I still need to make the rest of the missions which will probably take a while to do.

I've played all of your missions and I have only words of praise for them! The Sabre group reminds me of Seal Team Six (campaign for ArmA 2) made by Sick1, if remember good.. time ago... ;-) I am mostly sp and campaign player so this was a treat for me... Thank you very much and keep working like this!

Nice mission! Well balanced, good variety, lots of fun!

@BridgeBurn100
Yes, there is. The order in which they are listed on the collection page is the correct order to play them.

Is there a play through order for the SABRE missions? I want to make sure I am not playing them backwords.

Good

Very interesting mission.
Very good job

Nice mission, bro!

Thanks for creating, AlphaDog! I totally enjoyed it! ;)

thanks AlphaDog

@pishcabueso
I can't say for sure, but I will look into it!

just updated today, did that cause it?

@pishcabueso
The pilot and the VTOL are deleted upon reaching the ocean, but that shouldn't make the objective fail if you completed the objectives that involve stealing the VTOL. I don't know if anyone else has experienced the issue and I didn't when I was testing the mission recently. However, the new Arma 3 update may have broken something again! :(

Fantastic mission but there is a problem: I killed the enemies and the pilot enters the plane and leaves, then it appears "thank you sabre mission completed the pilot has been saved" but after a few minutes appears "mission failed the pilot was not saved" I followed the path of the plane with the darter and nothing shoots him, seems to disappear in the ocean. Bug?

An excellent job. Well done mate. I really enjoyed this scenario.

@C3sTr
No problem!

Mission is working well now, i was able to complete it :) so big thanks!

@TARGET
I could make that as a multiplayer parameter when I fix the bugged pilot waypoint. It's pretty easy to add that!
One thing I will mention is that all players have their "carrying capacity" increased by 25% by default. So you should be able to haul a lot more equipment, but that doesn't mean I won't add the option to turn stamina off!

Great Missions. played well on our server. The fatigue is a little over whelming Is there a way to turn that off??

Great! Keep up the good work! We just abandon the mission and immediately report to you, and didnt notice other players already report it.

@bardosy[HUN]
I will fix this issue ASAP! I've been busy wrapping up editing my other mission.

The pilot never arrive. We killl everybody and complete all other task, but pilot is stand there in the jeep (yes, I go there to check him).

@C3sTr
I don't know what could be causing that. His waypoints are setup for him to get out and go to the VTOL. Could be the AI being stupid. I'll take a look.

The pilot is not comming, he is just sitting in his car, any idea? Played already twice, same stuck point :(

hello ! how can i have" rate and favorite" icons on my workshop like you ?

Good mission. Liked the challenge. Thanks for making a mission.

Also your last mission is very well done. At all I love your scenarios. Nice fun at the end of the whole run with the 2 helis. I shot both down to earth with my gun but it wasn't count at least. But nevertheless it was fun!

@its time for another Revolution
It could be ACE3, but I'll take a look tomorrow and try to figure out the problem.
