Folk ARPS

Seems to be working fairly well, aside from ASR_AI3 causing the defenders (including the officer...) to leave their buildings. Can be fixed though.

The strider might be a bit too powerful though I'd rather put more hostiles on the Juliet approach (figuring it's the primary direction of defense for FIA). I didn't expect the strider to ride first ahead of Juliet so there's that.

The enemy mortars were fun but I think didn't kill anyone? Which would be ideal. Though they could be made to shoot a bit more often, esp. on the hill in the SW.

Friendly mortars were maybe a bit too useful, given the visibility from up the hill. Maybe reduce it to a single mortar battery?

Feel free to cut the ammo. I think about half of the shells used were absolutely required for success. I think Bravo had some casualties to MTR, but not sure.

Actually, the suckiest deaths in Arma are mortar deaths since they are from far away and annoyingly random. IMHO they should be mostly used for ambience not with a target to kill us.

Given this sunday's experience:
Either RNGesus really had it out for the players or the AI mortars could use a bit more randomization and/or slower frequency.

I just want to use them to keep players off the hill (though inside the bunkers you are safe ... mostly).

And maybe a better explanation on how the CO's mortars work, isn't that right audiox
