Здравствуйте, добро пожаловать на мой класс на ночь ... You do not speak Russian? Ah, I miss days when Russia was at war with everybody.

The Night Ops Mod was designed to be played, as the name suggests, at night. During the day the enemy is very well equipped to deal with any threat. They will use Grenade Launchers and Mortars to halt your attack. For this reason it is best to defend during the day and attack at night.

So, think you good enough to take on Night Operations, we will see...

We'll bring her down, I am highly trained killer, first we look at changes.

[color:#33CC00]To enter Turn Based Mode, press "D".[/color]

[color:#33CC00]You can now load during an enemies turn with Ctrl+L.[/color]

[color:#33CC00]To remove grenades from the RPG-16 equipped in your main hand, press (Alt + U).[/color]

[color:#33CC00]To change the level of general night lighting press Alt + '-', Alt + '='.[/color]


[color:#33CC00]Using Sniper Scopes and enhancing your aim "J"[/color]

You can also prime your weapon by clicking the RMB, then holding it down to bring up the 3x3 menu and selecting the target icon. Another way is to select this icon twice from the 3x3 menu.

In the image below Ivan is equipped with a SMG, even with it cocked he cannot see the enemy.

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/G1.jpg


In the next image he has a Sniper Rifle, he can only sight the enemy when he looks "J" through the scope.

Careful! When looking through the scope of a gun, you can only see the area you are targeting.

Every shot you take reduces stamina.


http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/G2.jpg

[color:#3333FF]New Tactics[/color]

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/ivan_dolvich.jpg

[color:#33CC00]One of the great new features of N.Ops is the ability to roll in and out of cover using the "Alt" key while prone.[/color]

You can also now throw grenades from a crouched position.

If you are hit for 4 or less HP you will be auto bandaged.

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/G3.jpg

http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/off_topic/ivan_dolvich.jpg

Guns can overheat in N.Ops, keep an eye on the red bar to the left of your gun. When it is full, the weapon will degrade and eventually become unusable for a turn or two.

Unreliable weapons Jam when less than 90%, use good soviet made weapon instead.

[color:#33CC00]Hold "Alt" over enemy to see CTH or press "Y" to remain displayed, if you are shooting from a prone position where your guns is resting on a solid surface, your shot will be more precise.[/color]

[/color]
Railmounts to install Scopes on the weapon (for example, Sniper Scope at MP5SD3).

Reduced effectiveness of Scopes, if the weapon's not Sniper Rifle. If weapon's Sniper Rifle, but the shooter has not trait "Sniper" then reduced effectiveness depending on the accuracy (if Accuracy > 90 - then shooter can use Sniper Rifle but "Sniper" specialists use it much better).

I found myself in the same boat on Experienced, ran into a very tough forest fight before Drassen.

I found going in you need an IMP with Night Ops (+ Stealth),

1 Night Ops Merc at least,

1 Medic (Medical +60), There's no way you're not going to get hit,

1 Merc with Sniper Skill.

I found you need to use "Break Lights" a bit more intelligently, they scarper away from the light like cockroaches and then flank you.

Same for Mustard/Tear Gas.

I bomb the hell out of the "cockroaches", grenades are plenty. Did you get your hands on a P90? Thats a true room sweeper and I guess is deadly as hell in night missions.

p90 is quite nice - i think you don't need a sniper - i've ordered a no/auto-impress and she sweeps entire sectors with a silenced smg (matter of fact she has two due to overheating) added razor, grunty, md, haywire and (a must) gasket - had no problem to take drassen (i changed all the maps in the ne-quadrant to the heavier ones - and allways have militia in omerta) oc the remaining militia gets shot. work with two groups: impress, grunty, razor (silent/forward) and gasket, md, haywire (dumb/loud/backup)

Not as much as in Vanilla/1.13, but handy for defending during the day or the odd daylight sortie. The Scope "J" can give you the edge when you're outnumbered, even just for spotting them.

I found it's hard to play a Semi Iron Man Mode with N.Ops: maybe i'm rusty or it's a lot tougher than most Mods.

I guess, but when you do get to Sniper Country, unless you have a trained sharpshooter you're wasting your time.

Does ******* mean good or bad?

@Don Holmes

J1 isn't a part of Arulco, it's a bonus sector, so you can't enter or leave it on foot or by helicopter.

As I understand you've entered this sector by the teleport from San Mona. Now you should use another teleport, which will bring you back.

It's placed on the road, which leads to the North from the sector.

There was a problem with postponed travel when there were bloodcats in the currently loaded sector. Might be related to your problem.

So, as I remember, near Orta bloodcats live in sectors K3, J6 and K6.

Killing them may solve the problem if it's caused by them.

As for saved games, we usually use a link to a file, placed wherever you like.
Our Russian forum allows to attach small archives to post, but here it isn't possible. Sad

As for crashed (and not working) saves, we know, how to repair them.

By the way, any information about your operating system version and anti-virus may help to solve the problem. Sometimes anti-virus tries to damage saves, sometimes it managed to do this.

We have partly fixed the anti-virus problem.
