Open Season is the fifth mission in ArmA 2's Operation Arrowhead campaign.
Briefing[]
After capturing the Feruz Abad Coltan mine the next step is an offensive of Rasman military airport. Our air traffic is being disrupted by AA batteries so Renegade One will force recon the area S and SW to seek and destroy the AA installations using a combination of ULB and Apache helicopter.
Objectives[]
Primary[]
- (1) Combat patrol
- (2) Destroy outpost
- (3) Destroy AA defenses
- (4) Attack the defense line
- (5) RTB
Optional[]
- Destroy convoy
Walkthrough[]
It is recommended to set the viewing distance to 4-6 km in order to effectively use guided missiles and avoid harm.
This mission is also time-sensitive - after approx. 45 minutes the mission will either fail or the last task will become impossible to complete.
During the entirety of the mission, you may return to your starting point at FARP Winchester to repair, refuel and rearm. To do so, you have to get close to one of the trucks nearby (it is possible to move the trucks closer to the landing zone).
Combat patrol and destroying the outpost[]
Your first task is to perform a combat patrol in the designated area. Fly into the designated area. Keep in mind that the enemy AA guns are able to shoot you down even if you don't venture into the 'red' territory, so keep low - about 30 m above terrain is sufficient. After recognition of a takistani camp, you are ordered to destroy it. You may use your unguided munition or the gunners cannon as the post is mainly manned by infantry and light vehicles.
Destroying the convoy[]
After completing the first two tasks, command informs you of an incoming convoy - you may refuse this task, but it is recommended to accept it. The convoy's path is marked by red dots on the map. You should use guided Hellfire missiles to take care of this convoy as the enemy has weapons to shoot you down. You may target the first vehicles to slow down or halt the convoy entirely and then use unguided munition and cannon to finish the rest of the vehicles and the disembarking crew and infantry.
Destroying the AA guns[]
