Platoon Commander
Tags: SP – MilSim – New Mechanics
The Platoon Commander mod gives the player the ability to command a reconnaissance platoon, consisting of a player’s squad and four AI squads (two sabotage and reconnaissance, mortar support and a transport group).
With this mod a regular SP mission with a linear storyline can be turned into complete freedom of actions up to multi-stage planning from landing to exfiltration.
!!! This mod gives the player the ability to perform some actions that can disrupt the plot of the mission makers. Some of them:
- make junior units of other groups join your group, including story units
- make player a group commander if he is not one
- transfer units of your group to other groups
Languages:
- English
- Russian
How to use:
- Put 2, 3, 4 or 5 groups
- Put the Platoon Commander module (in Group Modifiers) and fill it
- If you are a missionmaker use Custom Radio Messages module (in Events) to create you own messages (instead of Alpha, Bravo …)
