What a horrible misssion really.
I went down from my usual 45-50 FPS to 15 FPS, and shortly I was going to see the reason for that. So I kinda forgot ACREs 343 are shit at long range, and I stay back a couple 100 metres. This results in the other players not hearing me at all (and my orders), but we all get slaughtered anyway. As I move up to Alpha 1s position (finally), I still have horrible FPS. I tried to help Head up but got shot in the process. Sooo, let's guess why the FPS went down horribly. Map? No. Complex city? No.
Cam had an AI Spawn system in place that promptly spawned 50 idle enemies on a watertower and 10 idle enemies in every house of the city. Needless to say that's not working..

oh god this mission is so awesomeeeeeee.
Rawrnix, as our CO, decided we should defend THE IRISH PUB™ down the street. Everybody kinda spreads out and watches, whilst I tested ST ACRE. That wasn't working for me, apparently, but at the end I was just being stupid and kinda found out it's real use. So after some waiting time and Anvil just rushing around a table for no apparent reason we got first contact at a house. Shot him to death. So far so good. About 3 minutes idle time after this.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT GP FIRE GET OUT OF HERE THE BUILDINGS GONNA COLLAPSE!!!!
We got engaged from 2 directions now and everybody understood we were in THE IRISH PUB™ and got a drink. So they rained down GP fire and bullets. One hit me, but Anvil was there to save me (after much screaming). Meanwhile I just saw bullets hitting our building left and right. Then we were doomed. The buildings gone over to this crispy texture which it has right before it collapses. More screaming. I get fixed up and run the hell away from the building, caring about nobody. Time for some Guerilla Warfare. I move around towards the first house we had reported contacts in, and promptly shoot a guy in the window. I dunno if I hit him because I forgot that I had full auto on...
After that incident I move back to the Pub's yard and see two BLUFOR dudes shooting at it. Bye BLUFOR dudes. It kinda goes around like that until, apparently, BLUFOR is down to 3. I see BLUFOR coming around a corner and suppress them immediately, but the MG they had fired back almost instantly... RUUUUUN.
Running back, I run straight into Draith. He was on my team. My brain had to act quickly here. I just saw a helmet and green camo. Must be BLUFOR. 1 quick press on the trigger, Draith's down. That's when I see the wounded message. I'M SORRY
There was a BLUFOR dude right next to him, and this was my last stand. He was prone, I had to go crouch because of no visibility. My aim was shitty, even though I was healed up. Took potshots at the guy, but eventually he wounded me. GG.

CAM, TAKING COMMAND.
The plan was to stick with Alpha 3 and clear a cache, but we got ordered to go to Alpha 1 and provide firesupport instead. I suck at distances and spotting so Cam's "500m out 100 degrees" did not help as I watched the ridgeline, but they were at the trees really. I spray down some fire, but Cam just tells me "you suck at shooting you didn't hit anybody!". After some time though he directs my fire and I finally hit something. Idle time, yay.
Later on we move to Alpha 2's position and lay down some fire on a UAZ and a bunker. Here we notice to things: The PKM is shit. I FORGOT TO ZERO IN. After much back and forth I zeroed in and try to hit the bunker but the PKM rounds just go everywhere even while prone. Apparently I still hit stuff though. More idle time, but not for long.
Cam got hit after like 2 minutes idle time, and we both crawled back into a tree. Not knowing where that came from I scout my surroundings. Nothing there. By the time I'm done saying that Kale comes along and fixes Cam up. After that's done, I get hit while they both pull back. Screaming on the radio I crawl back to another tree, just to notice the enemy is right at the tree I got shot at, about 50m out. More screaming over the radio. We both got fixed up 2-3 times before we all got slaughtered and the mission got called.
All in all it was a very fun session, and I enjoyed the Random Encounter one the most. The others, not so much. Last one had more comedic value than real ArmA stuff happening
