Thank you, I really appreciate that. I honestly can't stand it when channels clickbait titles/thumbnails to deliberately mislead their audience. I know that plenty of them do it because it works- which it does very well at the moment. The dishonesty in it is disgusting though.
pro tip, if you hire a squad member, you can use it as a driver for the tank and you as the commander or the gunner, and still have control on the full tank (drive and other things) i do that on my solo antistasi map too... great videos btw im waiting for the antistasi server >.>

@@JackArden just do most of the driving yourself then switch to gunner when you need to fight atleast you'll still have some mobility during engagements
I hadn't really thought of that before but I don't think I played through the entire campaign. I'll give it a look at some point though I do have another (hopefully shorter) mission file lined up next.
That looks pretty interesting, thank you for your suggestion! After I finish antistasi I'm going to play a different mission, but once I complete that I'll take a look at overthrow.
And sorry but me and my friend are playing antistasi together and we dont know when the garrison units will strart to take better equipement from the arsenal... It has to be the Infinit number of them or it is because of their LEVEL???
As far as I can tell, it's through unlocking an infinite number of items in your arsenal. This doesn't mean you're guaranteed for units to take certain gear though, this is largely random with a few exceptions for different soldier classes. AT soldiers will always take a launcher and this always seems to be the same launcher, whereas simply unlocking better vests does not mean you're assured your units will use them every time. I have an unlimited number of most rifles available in the game at the moment yet I still get the odd soldier carrying a Kar98. The level of the AI affects their stats, such as spotting range, accuracy and so on.
Have you tried dropping them and then picking them back up? If you're adding them to your inventory via the arsenal menu they sometimes won't be usable (I've had this several times with grenades) until you force your inventory to recount them by dropping one. Other than that, you may have used either a mod or a difficulty option to restrict explosives handling to people with the explosives specialist role.
Glock and a dream, now that's what I like! Also rip the Jihad Pickup, without ACE you can't pull stuff like that sadly, haven't tried with remote detonators but did with dead man switches and it's fun >:D
Yes, the bomb car definitely was a disappointment. It would have been even funnier if I could attach it to the bottom of a helicopter and then drop it in but that wouldn't work either.
I'm definitely seeing this series through to the end of the mission, it'll go until I complete it! After that though I've got a couple similar mission files I'm going to play until a new version of antistasi is fully released.
@@JackArden mabye after you're finished with the mission and blaze decides to upload 1.9, you can have a friend or sub to come and you on your conquest.👌👌
Do you mean can you do that yourself in the mission or can I do it for a video? Yes, you can gather gear in this mission file and it plays a very large part of the early game. It would be pointless for me to do this any further though as I basically have an unlimited number of everything. Once you collect a certain number of a specific item, with the number required changing per item, it will be "unlocked" in your arsenal box for unlimited use. I hope this answers your question as I'm unsure of how exactly you meant this!
can you get jets in base antistasi, i am playing on livonia and me and my friends can only get helicopters and we keep getting bombed by jets, is there anyway to get jets ??
You need to control an airbase to access anything other than a helicopter in your garage, and you can only access those other aircraft at the airbase itself. You can't buy them, so you need to capture them by garaging them from the airstrip after capturing the base
Hi! I was wondering how to get different starting weapons and weapons on general to antistasi? When I start a new game I only have 9mm smgs in my armory
Are you playing with any mods? Antistasi supports the RHS weapon packs, so installing the USAF, AFRF and GREF packs will give you different gear. When you spawn in for the first time, the inventory of your arsenal will have different weapons picked at random. After you pick your starting location, open the arsenal and click "to crate" at the bottom of the screen. This will load the arsenal inventory into your actual arsenal and will start you with some different weapons. You should also be spawning with an assault rifle, you can use the icons on the left of the arsenal screen to select different gear slots, where you can pick the primary slot and equip a rifle.
I've been considering it but since I'm quite close to the end of my playthrough on this version I don't think it would make sense to start over until I've completed it. I'm thinking of playing a few similar mission files till the upcoming 1.9 version gets a full release and I may make a viewer multiplayer series on that if enough people are interested in playing together.
Have you tried antistasi warlords of the Pacific? I find the map makes it more interesting. Mostly due to all the great ambush locations in the jungle.
I'm pretty sure the version of antistasi I'm playing is a direct port from that mission file, back when it was reverted. I haven't played the Tanoa version though, mainly due to me not owning the DLC for it. I likely wouldn't try it anyway, I've always hated how the AI can see through foliage as if it were invisible so a jungle map is like a living nightmare.
@@JackArden The AI in the expansion oddly enough doesn't really look through the foliage on tanoa. Don't know what's different between Altis and Tanoa that allows this.
Interesting to know, thank you for the heads up. Something like this can be as simple as flagging an object true/false for the AI being able to target something behind it. I imagine that since you can see people inside foliage quite easily on Altis it made more sense to allow AI to target through it or you'd basically be invisible if you sat in a bush.
Hey just a thing I haven’t seen you do in this playlist is use the GPS In the arsenal when you first get in the game ( mission) you can find a GPS in the arsenal. It is marked as UAV terminal and works the same way as the GPS Also I haven’t seen you use the movement “ features “ in this game as well as you could be I’ll try to link a video to the basics and the one from which I learned from. (Not trying to be rude just trying to help)
Don't worry about trying to be rude, I appreciate you're trying to help. I didn't know you could use the UAV terminal as a normal GPS, so thank you for the tip on that one. I haven't really used the normal GPS either as I only recently unlocked them so they're not on my loadouts yet. As for the movement, I generally just do what works for me, though if there's something obvious I'm missing, I'm interested to learn. If you have a decent video guide then by all means feel free to link it, I'm sure some others would find it useful too!
this could be a stupid question but does anyone know how to get jets/planes and tanks in antistasi without stealing them i have an airbase but cant buy them
You can't buy tanks or planes, so stealing them is the only option. All owning an airbase does (until you own them all) is let you garage vehicles you need an airbase to store and the same for retrieving them.
@@emilejames1 Those are supposed to be "intel reports" and let you know which vehicles you collected intel on, then tell you if the enemy has access to them or not. For example if you take an outpost it may say "intel found- NATO tanks available, NATO AA tanks unavailable". This means that NATO has tanks (and can therefore deploy them or will store them in their outposts), but they don't have AA tanks so you won't see them anywhere.
@@JackArden ahhh ok thank you I was really confused kinda new to arma. Last questions what do factories do differently to resource points and is there a way to get the driver out of a tank after tracking it because the rest of the crew gets out but then you cant steal it
@@emilejames1 No problem! Resource outposts give out a flat value of money, whereas factories are supposed to multiply the value your resources give. Resource outposts are much easier to take than factories, being quite open, lightly defended and far enough away (in most cases) from other outposts so you can properly prepare to defend against a counterattack or simply leave the area. In a sense, factories are mostly useless without resources, though once you have several resources, each factory gives a massive boost. While that makes resources a more attractive target early on, you can actually destroy the facilities (including killing the workers) to stop either of these outposts from giving a bonus, so factories are better attrition targets if you don't intend to capture them. As for tanks (and as I've found, any vehicle), the crew will disembark if you disable certain parts of the vehicle which stops them being able to use it. The crew will generally get out fast if you take out the tracks, though you may find it easier to disable the gun first because missing the tracks or not getting a disabling hit will put you in a bit of a bad spot. Other than that, AT weapons can do a good job of killing the crew inside, even if you don't disable parts of the vehicle, so if it suddenly stops working there's a chance you killed them.
I'm sorry you feel like that, I know just how frustrating it can be trying to keep hold of outposts, I spend plenty of time every week just capturing back outposts I lost while recording so that the series can keep some kind of coherent progression. What are your aggression and war levels like in game? They shouldn't be attacking often enough that you can't expand, especially if you're only winning the support of villages as opposed to capturing outposts. If you feel like giving it another go and you want me to try explaining anything which could help you, please feel free to ask. Otherwise, I hope you find a much more fun mission file which suits you. I was recently suggested to try this file- steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=173155826 It's supposedly quite similar to Antistasi though more intuitive and I'm enjoying what I've played of it this far.
Jack Arden Yeah, my main goal is/was to gain as much money as I could to level up my AI to 10-15. But simply due to the fact there are roadblocks everywhere and APC’s with several elite units in them to hunt me and my M16 down makes it impossible to achieve much. I can take an outpost with Some cover on my own easily, it is when they send a minigun mounted Chinouk to spray me down it gets a little hard to Get villages on my side.
Jack Arden Sometimes, when I take out a patrol of 2 random soldiers, they send a chinouk with at least 20 heavily Armored troops and miniguns to my location. Im only at aggression 19!
@@s.v.o.579 If those soldiers are part of a garrison then it's essentially the same as attacking the outpost, so they'll send a QRF all the same. There are two ways I've found for dealing with Chinook reinforcements- one being that you wait in cover till they autohover to drop soldiers. Their movement is very predictable at this point so a launcher is easy enough to hit with. Two being that you can park one of the AA vehicles you can recruit through the Y menu for high command nearby before you even start your attack. If your AI training is decent, they will take out the Chinook before the enemy AI is in effective range for the miniguns. I can't overstate just how useful AA guns are in a mission file where basically breathing earns you a visit from a full airbase's worth of attack helicopters. Use them as early as you can afford them, dismissing the unit will refund the full cost anyway. APCs can be a little trickier. Generally I end up waiting till the APC stops moving. They'll eventually just pick a spot and park there, turning off the engine. Even if you walk out in front of them, the gunner is the only one who will react to you for quite some time. If you're able, you can crawl right up to the vehicle or if it's in the open this is a great time to hit the turret with a launcher before waiting for it to stop again, only this time without their weapon. Aiming for the hatch on top is pretty effective I've found, more often than not killing the gunner in one hit. If you crawl under them you can first person through the floor, which may be seen as an exploit though you can't breach the hatches and if you're that close to the vehicle without dying I think you've earned it. Start with the driver so that the APC won't move away, then the troops in the back if they haven't already disembarked. You don't need to worry about the gunner/commander till last as they can't hit you- just be aware they will sometimes move into the driver seat so listen out for the engine. Also if you listen out for the ramp lowering on the APC you can time a grenade throw to take out the entire squad in one go. Once the ramp starts lowering, the rear armour doesn't protect them so you can quite easily take them all out with a good throw. The soldiers can often be the hardest of them all. The only trick I can really suggest for dealing with them easier is to abuse how their morale drops faster the more allies are wounded in a short period of time. When you hit them, hit many of them and do it fast. If you down enough in quick succession you'll start noticing that they surrender far faster than usual. Aim for the legs if they have vests (I'm not even joking, they don't have leg armour) so that you can down them faster and then also revive them faster after the fight to keep your aggression down. Roadblocks are definitely a huge pain, especially when you get to the point that being undercover won't let you pass by them a single time. Long ranged attacks have worked best for me, take out the static gunner first and then just hit anyone you can till the outpost is marked as destroyed. Assuming you've attacked from over 500m away you should be able to get right back into your car and go undercover immediately. You don't have to destroy the entire roadblock, just fast travel back to base to rearm and it'll be gone by the time you get back. You then have the option of staying there to fight the QRF. They often only send one vehicle, so you have a great opportunity to capture it here. Parking a civilian vehicle in front of a stopped APC/tank will cause them to turn off their engine earlier than normal (make sure they've stopped, you'll die if they drive into you) without any risk of them attacking you, making it relatively easy to run around the back and crawl underneath. Apologies for the long reply but I hope that helps you somewhat. Some of the tactics I use can be a bit annoying, like waiting around for APCs to stop but they've worked so far for me and I've easily clocked 100+ hours in this mission file just for this series.
There's a couple of reasons for that: First is that I have the most awkward schedule, so organising time to record with someone would be nearly impossible. I'd have to use public servers and hope for the best which is something I don't want to do as it'd likely turn into a complete mess. I get very bored very quickly when dealing with certain kinds of people, so I simply don't deal with them. Second, I enjoy the challenge. The mission file was clearly built with multiplayer in mind and so being able to beat it entirely on my own is something that I appreciate.
@@TheCrabeuh As I mentioned, my schedule makes that basically impossible. I can't expect anyone to regularly drop what they're doing on any given day just because I have the opportunity to record. I appreciate the support, thank you very much.
I got a cool idea If the USAF got really heavy lost They will withdraw and leave Only leaving the ARCF in the Island And if special achievements was achieved such a captured F-22A or A-10 they will use F-35 or AV-8B From the Carrier to hunt down the F-22 or A-10 and If you sell the F-22 you will get alot of Money plus can able to spawn F-35s Or if you're not at war with the Russians the PAK-FA or the SU-57 Then once you sold the F-22 the Americans leave the Island due to trying to track down the Sold F-22
For example of Huge Losses ·Most of their logistics was destroyed or captured ·Carrier Getting Fucked ·Or most of their outpost was destroyed or captured ·All Radio Towers are captured
So what you're saying is that having a way to beat the enemy into a retreat off the island should be a mechanic and if you do something significant like sell on military equipment to one of their enemies they spend time tracking that down rather than counterattacking immediately? That does sound like a fun game mechanic. If the enemy started badly equipped and each time they came back they were stronger it could make for an interesting mission file- you'd have to fight them till they backed off while completing objectives which delayed their return so you had an easier time of capturing isolated outposts until they came back for another heavy battle.
@@Night_Stalker Haha no, I've moved it somewhere pretty central (the location in this video) which is likely going to be where it stays for the rest of the series.
@@Night_Stalker There isn't really any way I can upgrade my base. You can deploy static weapons and bunkers but I already have several statics and the bunkers just break the game, I'm not sure if you saw the chaos that Houdini the floating bunker left behind in the previous videos.

You don't need to worry about the gunner/commander till last as they can't hit you- just be aware they will sometimes move into the driver seat so listen out for the engine.
Also if you listen out for the ramp lowering on the APC you can time a grenade throw to take out the entire squad in one go. Once the ramp starts lowering, the rear armour doesn't protect them so you can quite easily take them all out with a good throw.
The soldiers can often be the hardest of them all. The only trick I can really suggest for dealing with them easier is to abuse how their morale drops faster the more allies are wounded in a short period of time. When you hit them, hit many of them and do it fast. If you down enough in quick succession you'll start noticing that they surrender far faster than usual. Aim for the legs if they have vests (I'm not even joking, they don't have leg armour) so that you can down them faster and then also revive them faster after the fight to keep your aggression down.
Roadblocks are definitely a huge pain, especially when you get to the point that being undercover won't let you pass by them a single time. Long ranged attacks have worked best for me, take out the static gunner first and then just hit anyone you can till the outpost is marked as destroyed. Assuming you've attacked from over 500m away you should be able to get right back into your car and go undercover immediately. You don't have to destroy the entire roadblock, just fast travel back to base to rearm and it'll be gone by the time you get back. You then have the option of staying there to fight the QRF. They often only send one vehicle, so you have a great opportunity to capture it here. Parking a civilian vehicle in front of a stopped APC/tank will cause them to turn off their engine earlier than normal (make sure they've stopped, you'll die if they drive into you) without any risk of them attacking you, making it relatively easy to run around the back and crawl underneath.
Apologies for the long reply but I hope that helps you somewhat. Some of the tactics I use can be a bit annoying, like waiting around for APCs to stop but they've worked so far for me and I've easily clocked 100+ hours in this mission file just for this series.
Just started watching your videos. Really fun watching them. If you want to ever game together sometime let me know.
Thank you, I'm glad you're having fun with the videos!
Your welcome its always good to watch some arma after a long day at work =)
hi i wanna know why don't you do it with friend ?you can enjoy more
There's a couple of reasons for that:
First is that I have the most awkward schedule, so organising time to record with someone would be nearly impossible. I'd have to use public servers and hope for the best which is something I don't want to do as it'd likely turn into a complete mess. I get very bored very quickly when dealing with certain kinds of people, so I simply don't deal with them.
Second, I enjoy the challenge. The mission file was clearly built with multiplayer in mind and so being able to beat it entirely on my own is something that I appreciate.
you can go on private serv like on hamachi where you will be alone with your friend
continue to amaze us we like what you do @@JackArden
@@TheCrabeuh As I mentioned, my schedule makes that basically impossible. I can't expect anyone to regularly drop what they're doing on any given day just because I have the opportunity to record.
I appreciate the support, thank you very much.
youre welcomme but not only to record,more like to experience
love from france @@JackArden
@@JackArden Hi, this is Achef, I have absolutely nothing to do all day and night haha (send help :( haha )
I got a cool idea
If the USAF got really heavy lost
They will withdraw and leave
Only leaving the ARCF in the Island
And if special achievements was achieved such a captured F-22A or A-10 they will use F-35 or AV-8B
From the Carrier to hunt down the F-22 or A-10 and If you sell the F-22 you will get alot of Money plus can able to spawn F-35s
Or if you're not at war with the Russians the PAK-FA or the SU-57
Then once you sold the F-22 the Americans leave the Island due to trying to track down the Sold F-22
For example of Huge Losses
·Most of their logistics was destroyed or captured
·Carrier Getting Fucked
·Or most of their outpost was destroyed or captured
·All Radio Towers are captured
So what you're saying is that having a way to beat the enemy into a retreat off the island should be a mechanic and if you do something significant like sell on military equipment to one of their enemies they spend time tracking that down rather than counterattacking immediately? That does sound like a fun game mechanic. If the enemy started badly equipped and each time they came back they were stronger it could make for an interesting mission file- you'd have to fight them till they backed off while completing objectives which delayed their return so you had an easier time of capturing isolated outposts until they came back for another heavy battle.
Yes
@@JackArden so here's the progression tree
AAF US Army
Ion Inc US Marines
UN US Spec Ops and US Marines
Hey man
Good morning
@@JackArden well its afternoon for me
@@jaimedizra3534 What a world we live in, eh?
@@JackArden yah man what a world
Dude, pls play overthrow
Also move ur base to kavala the hospital there is pretty indestructable like those factory
I've learned my lesson at this point, bases inside crowded areas is a no-go
So r u going to move the base there???
@@Night_Stalker Haha no, I've moved it somewhere pretty central (the location in this video) which is likely going to be where it stays for the rest of the series.
@Jack Arden, ok then good luck about the series and yeah, just a tip go collect supplies for ur base and do uprgade ur base and the a.i.
@@Night_Stalker There isn't really any way I can upgrade my base. You can deploy static weapons and bunkers but I already have several statics and the bunkers just break the game, I'm not sure if you saw the chaos that Houdini the floating bunker left behind in the previous videos. My AI are also pretty high level too, but thank you for the tips!
