Platoon Leader: High Command Mod 1.3
This Mod, was originally a private mod I made for myself but I have now decided to share it. I always loved the Idea of High Command, but playing it always felt lackluster.
As soon as Combat started the Ai Groups became unresponsive, being stuck in Combat Mode and often engaging enemies at will running all over the map. As Commander you never really knew what your units were doing and apart from giving move commands, the Commander couldn’t really do much.
This Mod tries to fix these issues and add meaningful tools for the Commander.
Features:
- Added Map Icons, showing Group Information
- Added Tasks for Groups
- AI changes increasing Group cohesion and responsiveness
- Improved SITREP showing more Information like ammunition amount.
- High Command Groups Communicating and sharing target Information
- Remote Camera View for Group Leaders
- Group reorganisation like adding and removing Groups from your Command.
- Vehicle Speed Options
- Units Resupply from ammo bearers (Vanilla factions only)
- AT Soldiers Resupply from AT Assistants
- Medical System (Allies can get incapacitated and revived)
- Set up a casualty collection point (CCP) to treat wounded allies
- Virtual Support System
- Vehicle Recovery System
Tasks:
Tasks are what I like to call orders other then MOVE you can give to your Groups.
Available Tasks:
- Advance (Moving in AWARE Combat Mode)
- Assault Position (Advancing on a SAD WP in Combat Pace)
- Defend Position (AI takes cover and wont move from position)
- Bounding Overwatch
- Taking Cover in Place
- Forming 360° Security
- Fallback (Group stops fighting completely and moves to WP)
- Resupply
- Heal
- Clear Building
- Garrison Building
- GetIn/GetOut Transport Vehicle
- Move as Convoy
- Following Player
INFO:
To Access the HC Menus you might need to assign Keys in the Control Menu.
Controls –> SHOW: Command: –> "Open Menu (Move)", etc.
(I assigned the Menus like [1,7,3,5,9,8,2,6,4,0] These are the Most ergonomic settings for me.)
You can then access them when HC Mode is active (Default: CTRL and SPACE)
In the Root Menu you can press CTRL and ALT for additional Options.
I don’t recommend using other AI modification mods together with this
Disclaimer:
I’m not the most experienced Arma modder so you might encounter some bugs.
This mod was inspired by Advanced AI Command by duda.
