Rules

For UNITAF members, our general policies and SOPs do also apply here.

WARNING: -->Use of Enemy Vehicles Enemy/captured vehicles is prohibited. You are not permitted to capture them for use in Combat or in transport. This is to preserve the difficulty and Structure of the Game Mode. Recycling them is encouraged and allowed.<--

Our rules here
We expect you to behave this way, and we would like to especially highlight our code of conduct:

  1. I am a part of UNITAF, a group of people with diverse backgrounds and cultures. I will show respect to all members.
  2. In order to facilitate the administrative activities and operational leadership of UNITAF I will respect and uphold the chains of command.
  3. I will make a conscious effort to learn our SOPs over time and apply them.
  4. I will strive to demonstrate good sportsmanship and integrity at all times.
  5. If conflict should arise between members, I will step back, inform a member of Staff or a NCO and abstain from retaliating.
  6. If I believe a member did something well, I will praise them in public.
  7. If I believe a member did something wrong, I will talk it out and correct it in private.
  8. I will never forget that I am a member of UNITAF, a member of one team with one goal.
WARNING: We expect you do play as the role you have slotted in the lobby.

Note: The "Rifleman" Role can equip Items of Light Anti-Tank, Medium Anti-Tank, Anti-Air, or Automatic Rifleman

IMPORTANT: Willful killing of BLUFOR or civilians, obvious actions of disrespect against any player and blatantly ignoring instructions from UNITAF members will get you instantly kicked and banned.
SOPs

For UNITAF members, our SOPs are the same as during our other missions.

For our guests, you find all of our SOPs here.

We expect you to read Basic Infantry and Communications.

NOTE: We do not expect you to understand and apply these to the dot on your first session playing with us, but we do expect that you undertake an effort to get better at them.
WARNING: Obviously player count dictates how well we can follow our SOPs, but all members should promote and practice SOPs at all times to the best of their abilities.

Introduction

UNITAFs mission is to liberate the map of the enemy. Initially the enemy will hold all sectors and we start with a limited amount of resources. By strategically taking over enemy sectors to gain access to more resources and unlock better vehicles to use.

Resources and Measures

You can see these on the right-hand side of your screen if you are in one of our FOBs.

NameIconPurposeHow to get more?
SuppliesSupplies logoUsed for base building and purchasing of assetsCapture factories or find them in an enemy sector and transport them to one of our FOBs
AmmoRed BulletsUsed when purchasing vehicles and hiring AI soldiersCapture military bases
FuelOlive Fuel CanUsed by our vehiclesCapture fuel depots
Population CapPop Cap IconMax number of soldiers we can have in the mission. Players & AI.This is static
Alert LevelColour changing exclamation markMeasure of how fortified enemy sectors are going to be and frequency and power of counter attacks on our sectorsDo a secondary mission
Civilian SupportCivilian Support IconMeasure of how much the local population likes us.Do not kill civilians or damage their property. Liberate sectors and healing injured civilians in active sectors will increase civilian support.
Intel LevelBlue StarUsed to start secondary missionsBring captured enemies back to base, find Intel documents in enemy sectors or do a search & rescue mission
NOTE: After a hopefully successful playing session, the Alert Level is likely going to be high. Please consider doing a quick secondary objective to get it under around 60%, so the players who hop on the next time can also have fun.
WARNING: If Civilian support drops under 25%, expect IEDs, attacks on our convoys and them raising troops which support our enemy.
IMPORTANT: Do not destroy buildings in Capitals, Cities and Factories. Feel free to level Military Bases and Radio Towers.
Types of sectors

You can see these on the map. If they are blue, they are controlled by us. If they are red, they are controlled by the enemy.

NameIconPurposeNotes
Capital
Our primary objectivesThese are heavily fortified. Expect QRF
Cities
Small to medium sizes cities
Factories
They generate Supply, Ammo & FuelVery nice to have.
Military bases
They give us access to bigger vehiclesHeavily defended. Highly equipped.
Radio Towers
Taking radio towers will increase QRF response time nearbyIdeal for solo or small groups play
Secondary Objectives

Secondary objectives can be accessed by using your scroll wheel in a friendly FOB.
Two types of missions allow you to decrease the "Alert Level" of the enemy. These cost intelligence:

NameObjectiveQuick guideResult
FOB HuntDestroy an enemy FOBFind red circle on map. Find the FOB within. Destroy the containers.Reduces enemy alert level by 40%
Convoy HijackDestroy an enemy convoyFind convoy route on map. Find convoy. Destroy it.Reduces enemy alert level slightly and will drop ammo boxes.

Additionally, there is a third secondary objective, which will reward Intel for completing:

NameObjectiveQuick guideResult
Search and RescueEvacuate two downed pilotsFind circle on map. Find the the pilots. Bring them back to one of our FOBs.Awards Intel
Best Practices

Loadouts:
The Liberation play style is more mobile than what we do on official ops. This means you are going to be running around a lot, with fewer breaks. Plan your loadouts accordingly.
Vehicles:
Vehicles can be bought at any FOB, given the required Supplies, Ammo, and Fuel are present. Do your best to use them in a safe manner, as the cost of replacement quickly mounts, and inform the other players if you want to make a purchase.

IMPORTANT: Afraid to lose the Assets? The Ambulance BMP and Unarmed Heli can be respawned free of charge at a FOB!

Is the enemy bringing to much stuff to deal with?
Do a FOB hunt already!

BETA

The Frontlines server is still in beta. Please report all bugs on Discord in the #public-server channel.
