The Support Call addon allows you to modify the way any SP/MP mission (or campaign) is played.
It gives you back the freedom to play a mission the way you want to play it.

  • See a vehicle that would be useful, but is locked for some reason?
    Unlock it.
  • Are you sent on a mission with inadequate equipment?
    Have your favorite rifle air-dropped.
  • Are there magical bombs that drop on you whenever you step into some "forbidden" zone?
    Remove those magical walls.
  • Are you being rushed with some tight time limits, when you would like to stroll around a bit?
    Reset the clock, and take your time.
  • Would you prefer to scout out an area via a UAV before going in?
    Launch one.
  • Would you rather play a night mission during the day, or a day mission during the night?
    Adjust the time.

The module also helps you to overcome some problems caused by buggy scripting or engine issues, like being stuck in the terrain, uprighting vehicles, forcing team-members to actually stay where you want them, etc.

Here's the full list of features available in any mission (or campaign, or editor), once the module is installed:
(Overall, you have over 60 functions, to help you customize the mission!)

  • Spawn vehicles, weapons, magazines:
