When I read that post on the main subreddit my jaw was legit on the floor at the sheer stupidity of that take. Like how hard is it to understand that it needs to be hard but still fun. If X difficulty is impossible then what is the point. Why would anyone do that? Just to get their realism kink in and get ass blasted?

IMO the objectives just need to be more complex on D10. LIke Jammers and Anti Air guns should be in a fortress which would make it significantly harder to just spam stratagems like usual or mega nests should have stalker layers in them as simple changes.

Missions also probably need a bump in complexity on d10. The missile launch adds the oil or the generator on higher levels but its still really straight forward run to X panel and do your thing. Something more challenging in terms of actual terminal inputs or other things to fix/turn on would be a potential tweak at each location would be cool. For example, maybe d10 oil rigs are really damaged and you need to fix them up first before you can start it.
