- BAM - Base defense modification for RobZ realism mod

Description
****THIS IS A FURTHER MODIFICATION OF THE ORIGINAL RobZ's mod and bro918's compatibility mod for Robz realism****

All credits go to the according legends

All changes are made to tackle heroic difficulty issues so make sure you play on HEROIC when using this mod! Other difficulties will have issues on the Omaha map.

The modified missions have a [BAM] tag in their name so those are the ones I've made changes so far.

***MAIN FEATURES***

. Landing crafts no longer stuck and refuse to unload troops onto the beach.

. MOST enemy troops no longer sit still after landing and will advance aggressively (but not mindlessly) towards your positions.
(The engine ai has its limit and can only control so much units at once so just a few will sit still but will be used by the ai eventually.)

. Enemy landing troops have some MEDICs and can revive their fallen friends.

. Clean up enemy bodies script to ensure the survival of your computer.

. On the Omaha map, the heavy MGs and Flak on the bunkers are made invincible but their crews will still die. (Because due to their locations, you can't really get a new one in their places to replace them after the artillery strikes so I think it's just fair game.) The heavy MGs can still be sent flying by the artillery strike physics when crewed so try to unload the crews when the artillery warning pop up to prevent that.

. Sevastopol map rebalance and modifications for heroic difficulty.

. Compatible with latest Robz realism mod version 1.28.4

**INSTALLATION**
. Get Robz realism mod => Activate it first
. Get this and activate
. Enjoy with 2-4 friends (hopefully)

*NOTES*
. I made this simply because those issues were getting in the way of me and the bois enjoying the defense so I won't promise regular updates.

. If you are wondering about the ai issues in the original mod:

+ Firstly, the original uses a waypoint landing system that was meant to recognize the landing craft that is using it and gives the command at the final waypoint to land the troops. Make sense right? But that doesn't work a second time for most of the other crafts that is using the same waypoint.

+ Secondly, the original also uses a random spawn system that randomly spawn landing crafts on a list of available waypoints which end up causing multiple crafts on the same line which further complicate the landing issue.

=> So the solution I found after some restless days of testing is getting rid of the random spawn, give each craft its spawn point (18 of them) and use landing zones for the landing triggers. It works beautifully. Feel free to check them out in the editor if you're interested.

. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them, I will try to answer once the time allowed.

@legacy of words yeah as I said in the description, some will still stuck but the Ai will use them eventually, it's still way better than the original, make sure you are playing HEROIC too because other difficulty won't work on the Omaha map
