Military Convoy

CONVOY 

So since the ARMA 2 TLX Server nothing happens much instead of:VDMs,RDMs people asking for comp etc...I'm suggesting that from time to time OPFOR or BLUFOR could make Convoys.There would be 2 types of Convoys,the standart convoy and the High Value Convoy.

     Basic Convoy

• 2 or 3 KAMAZ or MTVR(utility,repair)
• 2 Armed UAZ or humvee 

The basic Convoy would be transporting low-medium tier LOOT such as:pistols,submachine guns,medium-low price ores,ammunition or supplies too.The KAMAZ or MTVR would be in the middle between the armed UAZs,there would also be a 10 metre space between each vehicle.

Now,the High Value Convoy would transport would be transporting on its gear powerfull and dangerous thing such as explosive devices,RPGs,assault rifles,sniper rifles or high value ores for example:diamonds or platinum.So since it`s transporting high value items inside it`s gear or TRUNK it should be very well protected.

High Value Convoy

• 2,3 or 4 KAMAZ or MTVR(Utility,repair,ammunition)
• 3 or 2 armed UAZs or humvees.
• 1 Armored vehicle.

So,these convoys would be like a event that can be lead by a group of players but of course in order to actually form a convoy "event" the group would have to ask for a staff member that is currently ONLINE at that moment for permission to do it,and if the people making the convoy wish to make it go through BLUFOR or OPFOR territory they would obviously have to ask the faction that controls that territory.

The way it would work is that the faction doing the convoy would announce in GLOBAL CHAT for all the players that are currently in the server when they start moving,the convoy would have a path set by the faction,the path would be marked by putting black dots on the map,On the way,armed civilians or insurgents could set an ambush to eliminate the drivers and the escord and if they suceed by doing that,they may take the loot located inside the gear or trunk on the KAMAZ(which in case of the BLUFOR the MTVR)

A couple hours ago (when this post was posted)me and some people playing as OPFOR did a convoy with admin authorization,it had 2 KAMAZ [Ammunition and Repair]  filled with weapons and explosive devices,and it was being escorted by a BMP-2.Some time later when we passed through Checkpoint Delta and went into BLUFOR territory (also with authorization) We got ambushed after a couple minutes by some insurgents with a CDK tag on their names,they started firing explosive ordinances at our direction missing the trucks and barely damaging the BMP-2 we then went to go hunt for them leaving both trucks to be guarded by the BMP-2.Some time later we noticed that both trucks were on fire but the BMP-2 was perfectly FINE as if the insurgents shot at the trucks on purpouse just to destroy the loot (there was like 3 million worth of loot inside those trucks),we later found them and neutralised them but the convoy was totally ruined.So there are some bad things about making these convoys.

Also the Trucks should always be unlocked and the ones who plan to intercept the convoy.

 

Also if you like it remember to leave a like!

This is an amaszing idea and would love to see more operations like this done. This gives so much opportunity for immersive gameplay. This is the kinda roleplay the servers been missing. As one of the founders of Sons of Shariah and Staff I wanna help see this through.

[Silkofoxx 55]

Yep That's a +1 from me , Enjoy seeing opfor doing organised operations that creates role play for many factions.

Ofc indeps are invited,who is going to TRY(not suceed) to steal the trucks?

[Smidge Griffkin 154]

Anyone else wanting truckloads of goods..... PMC's on contract, gang members, corrupt president and his underlings etc.

[StarBoSS 1]

Thats really awesome idea +1

Heart speak with me and Isaac more on this and we'll do what we can to make this more frequent. Even if i have to dirty my own hands as an Opfor.

[S.Russo 24]

+1 HMU or any other PMC's if you need help setting this up. you have 4-6 bodies if you need them

[S.Russo 24]

oh also, would the convoy be allowed to request more protection from OPFOR/BLUFOR forces? or would it have a neutral allignment to all factions?

[Dereck Frost 51]

Yeah it would be allowed.

[Dereck Frost 51]

Also i forgot to mention that,IF the convoy happens to be engaged the escort or the drivers could request reinforcements,these reinforcements should come from the faction Main Base.So it would be recommended to do it fast and not waste much time.

By the way if the escort or the drivers died before getting the reinforcements message through.The message may be ignored if it was sent after the person was KIA.

Sounds like a banging idea. Thing is I feel that there will always be the guy who blows up the loot instead of capturing it but as an Indep I feel that it would be fine if they did that. This also allows to set up fortified locations to both protect the convoy along its route AND for terrorists and criminals to ambush the convoy from a safe location. If this becomes a normal thing I'd love to get some of my old pals back on and do some crazy stuff.

[Dereck Frost 51]

Yeah that feeling you had happened the first time we did a convoy (OPFOR) which was the day that i posted this suggestion

[Heart 24]

I witnessed it all. LOL
