Is IceBreakr here on Discord?

thin sable
#

yes

fossil ermine
#

it was 5.6GB update for me

slender pebble
#

25.6 for me 😄

fossil ermine
#

special kind?

slender pebble
#

nah, steam decided my install was corrupted

#

"look, I have the files, validate them"
"yep, 400 files failed validation, redownload the game"
"STEAM PLS"
"NO, REDOWNLOAD THE GAME"

rugged escarp
#

@thin sable Is he hiding with secret nickname? 😄

#

Or is he just offline

thin sable
#

have you tried @ + IceBreakr ?

rugged escarp
#

I... I... uh, "almost" noticed him x)

quartz magnet
#

well i know switching branches requires ~15GB

rugged escarp
#

I'm duuumb

thin sable
#

yes

quartz magnet
#

so even if it is ~6GB then steam may still want ~15GB

thin sable
#

and @quartz magnet doesnt switching brances mean it also deletes the different branchs stuff

meager tundra
#

5.6 here too.

rugged escarp
#

Need to turn my brains on 😛

thin sable
#

so you dont need that much more

quartz magnet
#

@devd#2256 try removing other games, it'll install and then free up space again. then reinstall other games

#

horrible goat i don't know 🤷🏽

#

i've just always had Arma need way more space for updates

fair flower
#

anyway to get around low cpu and gpu usage?

hearty island
#

low gpu usage: set everything to ultra and sampling to 200%
low cpu usage: no

fair flower
#

i have a 1080 and 6700k and i keep getting 40-50fps

hearty island
#

sounds good

#

My average is about 20fps

rugged escarp
#

My FPS bumped to >60 when I changed from GTX 670 to GTX 1080 Ti, even though I changed resolution from 1440p to 4K at the same time

#

(CPU is i5-3570k)

#

So I'd say GPU matters more in Arma than one would think

#

It surprised me at least

hearty island
#

#hardware_vs_arma
If you are GPU bottlenecked then you are GPU bottlenecked. If not then you aren't.

rugged escarp
#

Had it selected in channel list 😛

urban sluice
#

Guys what's the current version and how do I check mine?

finite relic
#

As its a Steam game, you should have the current versioon

#

which is 1.82

alpine robin
#

It's written in the main menu.

meager tundra
#

Right bottom of the main menu specifically

sweet axle
#

also says in the launcher at the bottom of the "options" drop-down

autumn musk
unreal rivet
#

#oldnews

#

No A4, only helicopter zombies on Mars.

inland bay
#

hi guys I am new to this group and new to this game and I was wondering what is the most fun game-mode for a beginner in arma 3 ? 😄

fallen tulip
#

@inland bay entirely depends on your playstyle. Search around (don't just look at the servers with the most people, it isn't implied that they're the greatest)

inland bay
#

Thanks for the tips i must just try Invade & Annex

#

;D

#

I am going to play solo

fallen tulip
#

Invade & Annex is pretty fun, main thing in that gamemode is communication between your friendlies. I'm sure you'll find someone to help you out

inland bay
#

Thanks buddy i am waiting to get my arma 3 installed and i am ready to go

fallen tulip
#

Sweet.

rugged escarp
#

@inland bay Make sure to try out 77th JSOC servers, they have the best teamplay

fallen tulip
#

Yeah generally speaking if you ask kindly and be patient with your team you'll receive help with lots of stuff.

inland bay
#

Yeah cause the community of Arma 3 is very mature

#

i think

fallen tulip
#

If you're in the right server / community yes, very much so

rugged escarp
#

Just make sure to complete the basic tutorials so you know the basics, the rest you'll learn in action 😃

fallen tulip
#

there are also communities that are very immature, just with any other game. Gotta find the right ones

inland bay
#

Another question that i have is if I need to have some kind of mods?

fallen tulip
#

Depends, on the 77th JSOC servers like Ezcoo has mentioned no, but you can always look at the server before joining in the launcher and the launcher will download the appropriate mods

wheat bone
#

Mods are only needed for some gamemodes or when you're playing in some communities. But I wouldn't worry about them at the start

inland bay
#

Thank you guys 😃

fallen tulip
#

👍

inland bay
#

Another tips I need to know?

rugged escarp
#

You can try out "normal" servers to start with, and if you find yourself wanting to have a deeper experience, then you can start looking for mods and communities/units that use them

fallen tulip
#

VR tutorials + campaign is a very good place to learn basics. Especially the VR tutorials (No you don't need a headset, it's called VR tutorials because you're in a "simulated" combat zone)

rugged escarp
fallen tulip
inland bay
#

thanks

quartz magnet
#

ARMA 5 CONFIRMED? It's not the future!

fallen tulip
#

😑

inland bay
#

actually i dont have any dlcs

fallen tulip
#

Doesn't matter if you have any dlcs

#

you can play just fine without them, you'll just be limited in some areas. The vanilla game has many of the same types of weapons, vehicles, and items that exist in the DLCs

rugged escarp
#

Yeah, DLCs are literally "extra"

fallen tulip
#

Jets for example, Buzzard, Nephron, and The Wipeout are all vanilla and can be used without DLC

inland bay
#

ok

fallen tulip
#

you can be a passenger to any dlc vehicle, but you cannot drive t hem

inland bay
#

That's ok for me

fallen tulip
#

and to clarify a bit (this is a little confusing to some new players), the platform updates applies to everyone. So, the tanks improvements like reactive armour, damage simulation, tank interiors, etc (there are more) apply to all tanks. Not just the dlc tanks.

rugged escarp
#

Extra content = paid

#

New features = free for everyone

fallen tulip
#

Ezcoo explained it very simply so 😛

inland bay
#

Thanks

#

;D

fallen tulip
#

👍

inland bay
#

What do I press to activate night vision?

#

xd

fallen tulip
#

When you have night vision, press N on your keyboard

inland bay

fallen tulip
#

@undone fractal yes

modern dagger
#

is the alive site not accessible for anyone else?

#

i havent been able to reach it all day

wheat bone
#

it's down for me too

urban sluice

#

@valid anvil should tell us. He's part of the project.

hearty island
woeful phoenix
#

Holy Moly... nothing wants to die.

#

Armor... Having to hit light armor with multiple tank rounds of any type to kill it.
CSAT mobile arty pieces not dying after 8-10 APFSDS rounds, HEAT rounds... you name it

quick crypt
#

Yeah, haha.

tranquil bay

@woeful phoenix
Depends where you hit it

#

Is there a mod that lets you use medikit in campaign?

fair flower
#

any advice for lim vs mk200?

rotund gazelle
#

@fair flower Yes, avoid both.

#

No seriously, SPAR-16S and MX SW are lighter substitutes for these.

fair flower
#

so its either those or zafir since the navid is usually banned?

rotund gazelle
#

Or SPMG if it is not banned. I want a good MG in 7.62 other than Zafir but there is none.

#

On this topic, does anyone have the gun and ammo statistics/data from the game? (Mass, spread, RoF, hit damage, dexterity, etc.)

fair flower
#

how many boxes of spmg ammo do you usually carry?

#

holy shit 6.5 100 rnd box mags are light

#

like damn you can carry twice the amount of 7.62 with 6.5 for the spar 16s

crimson turtle
#

Can someone help me host a game? I choose multiplayer and then click host game. Then i selected my mission and got into the lobby. Now the OK button is greyed out so i cant start. Help

visual cobalt
#

how many people is it for @crimson turtle

crimson turtle
#

just me, i got it though, i had to assign a role to myself

visual cobalt
#

ok

quartz magnet
#

Yes of course

visual cobalt
#

🤦

quartz magnet
#

You can't start without anyone slotted 😄

urban sluice
#

🤦

#

What did you expect

hushed kraken
#

People who are new make mistakes. Help, don’t take the piss.

#

If you think this channel is an arena for watching genuine newbies get thrown to the lions, whilst you post popcorn memes, then you are wrong. If a question belongs elsewhere, politely redirect; if someone appears to be trolling, ping a moderator. Thank you 😃

urban sluice
#

i know, but i would have thought it would have been pretty obvious

crimson turtle
#

welcome to the brain of a retard

rugged escarp
#

Amen @hushed kraken

visual cobalt
#

anyone know about any mods that make physical clouds in the environment that can be flown through ect?

thin sable
#

Nope. modeled cloud would be very difficult to make look anyway good

#

unless you want cartoon clouds

#

cloud height can be altered in terrain config

#

but not much more cloud related can be done

quartz magnet
#

you can fly through them already though, can't you?

thin sable
#

yes

#

they just may be pretty high up on most maps

quartz magnet
#

i think adjusting weather brings them a bit lower too 🤔

rotund gazelle
#

@fair flower It depends on the server and mission, but 2-3 boxes of 130 round 0.338 should be enough.

#

The damage and how much you can carry are both proportional to mass. So you can choose to carry 300-500 heavy bullets or 1000-1500 light bullets.

meager tundra
#

Something something Advanced Fatigue something something

#

For some reason mods that edited the map colors do not work anymore after the update. I'm talking about stuff like BHC map contours and such, with edited the colors of the map, roads etc. I checked the ui pbo but everything looks the same, so I have no idea why the mods no longer function for me.

hearty island
#

map colors somewhat changed in 3DEN editor

#

maybe same change breaks it on ingame map

visual tiger
#

nah it worked before tanks DLC

#

way after 3den

hearty island
#

Uh.. yes.. That's exactly what I'm saying

#

Tanks update changed the map in Eden

visual tiger
#

ah

hearty island
#

Undocumented in changelog btw..

visual tiger
#

Well the changes also affected the main map screen

autumn kayak
#

hey guys, how to turn on the radar in the AWC 303 (the recon version)?

quartz magnet
#

use the scroll wheel menu

#

or i think right ctrl + R

#

(check your keybinds)

autumn kayak
#

its not on my scroll menu... not sure why

#

left control+R worked

#

thanks

#

and where is supposed to be in the keybinds, which section?

quartz magnet
#

if you have it bound to keys then it gets removed from the action menu

#

i dunno, maybe in weapons or common or vehicles

autumn kayak
#

i didnt bind it manually it was like that by default

quartz magnet
#

yeah, but i meant if it's bound at all then it gets removed. if you clear the bind then it'll reappear

mild spindle
#

Yo

autumn kayak
#

ok thanks again 😃

mild spindle
#

Can anyone here tell me why I got an infistar global ban?

quartz magnet
mild spindle
#

It's a global game thing.

quartz magnet
#

it's not

mild spindle
#

It is.

quartz magnet
#

game uses battleeye though?

mild spindle
#

Any server that has it it's a ban.

quartz magnet
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rugged escarp
#

@mild spindle Infistar is 3rd party anti-cheat system and they aren't related to game developers in any way. Your only chance is to contact Infistar team, I think they have their own Discord

tranquil bay
#

Don't fuck up, don't get banned

#

I didn't lol.

What is it you need help with exactly.

meager tundra
#

My sides

humble ridge
#

@tranquil bay Thanks for telling me. Im going to visit Brno so i thought why not visit BI if they allow visits while im there hehe but it doesnt really matter

tranquil bay
#

Well, asking them would't hurt. Can't get worse then a 'Nope'
But while you there, keep an eye out for the local fire station 😉

#

Thank me later

humble ridge
#

Fire station? Is it one of those old stations with antique trucks?

#

Oh wait

#

IS it one of those stations from Chernarus?

quartz magnet
#

@meager tundra the hilarious bit is that when LoW released, a lot of people (including myself, i think) were calling it the "Altis Life update" or something similar

meager tundra
#

Yeah I definitively mentioned it more then a few times that the vehicles in the Laws of War DLC would end up being used a lot in life communities.

quartz magnet
#

evidently they're not satisfied 😄

thin sable
#

Maybe the servers got too expensive custom cars.

meager tundra
#

If they're not ripped from Forza, it's not a real life server.

I just the funniest arma 3 ad

#

well the ad wasnt funny but the place it was displayed was

urban sluice
#

I am renting a server which we are playing Antistasi Altis on. We are in the beginning stages of the metagame and anyone is welcomed to join. please send me a PM if you are interested.

hearty island
#

@urban sluice no advertising!

urban sluice
#

hey gents question

#

did trhe debug console get removed?

meager tundra
#

Nope! It very much exists. Are you playing a custom mission?

hearty island
#

Yes it got disabled on official Zeus servers because of abuse

proper flower
#

The debug console was disabled on public zeus servers

halcyon frost
#

i got a question. my Koth Profiel got reset again.but i saved the fils on google drive. if i copy paste them now in arma 3 do i get then a ban ? because i was level 50

proper flower
halcyon frost
#

oh sorry

#

thanks

tranquil bay
#

@halcyon frost
KotH v10 is a new system -> ALL profiles are set back to lvl1. this means EVERYBODY starts at the beginning again

halcyon frost
#

wow i was 50 😦

#

i was level over 9000

#

Heyho

livid vault
#

Hey i just bought arma and have a graphics card coming on friday so ill be ready for combat then

fallen tulip
#

Cool.

knotty plinth
#

Pretty self-explanatory

proper flower
#

?

opal nacelle
#

What's the card? But more importantly, what's the CPU?

vocal sage
#

so if I had a server with like CUP weapons, would I be able to allow people without that mod to join or will that cause problems?

meager tundra
#

No, they will not be able to join.

opal nacelle
#

And even if they could there would be problems

vocal sage
#

ok

#

does anyone know where I could find references for all the functions used in ACE 3?

#

i looked but couldn't find things like functions for setting ai health

proper flower
#

Well if the mission has a dependency on. Cup then no

#

If you have signature checks disabled and it isn't a dependency then yes

meager tundra
#

There is a CBA menu for most ACE options.

vocal sage
#

how would i get to it

proper flower
#

Options -> ACE options

vocal sage
#

ok

proper flower
#

@opal nacelle that's why sometimes other clients can't see a uniform, or the player body is invisible due to the other client not having the mod enabled. Best to have signature checks enabled anyways

#

If you're running mods there isn't any reason not to unless the mod doesn't have a key for whatever reason

vocal sage
#

is there a global event for like npc spawn so i could run a script when they spawn in?

thin sable
#

init

#

if im not mistaken everything created in game runs init when they pop

vocal sage
#

just init.sqf? I thought that was on server start

thin sable
#

well no objects run what they are configured to run on init in config.cpp

vocal sage
#

so how would I set the script to run when they first spawn in?

thin sable
#

could make an addon to inject your own init event there I suppose

vocal sage
#

ok

rugged tartan
#

Guys, is there a collective complaint/report to devs about the whole thing where your character starts doing inverted yoga when you get anywhere near rocks, walls, etc? Im not sure when that was changed, but it's really bad.. I think I died like 5 times in koth the other night due to it. Wasnt even that close to the objects half the time..

#

*while prone

#

If not I'll try to make a video and report and tweet it. But I just wanted to know how many people were effected by it.

hearty island
#

you mean the "suddenly looking into the air" thing?

rugged tartan
#

Especially those little stone walls, field dividers that all over Altis. Like the end of your barrel is like 5ft from the wall and BAM IM LOOKING AT BIRDS!

#

Yes that

hearty island
#

I know there is a feedback tracker item about it. But can't point you to it. Just saw it somewhere

#

But it's been there a long time. And BI didn't do anything yet

rugged tartan
#

Okok good to know Ill check it out

#

Cool

#

I'll just nag the sht out of Iceman ;D. Though I saw a tweet that he was returning to the States.. not sure if that means he's done with a3? 😱

#

He's the only one I knew of that was still working on bug reports..

urban sluice
#

At the very least add a me too comment on the tracker when you find it.

quartz magnet
#

yeah i think i may have added to or made a ticket about that 🤔

rugged tartan
#

Ok so.. remember how you would push up against something and it would force you to stand up? I wonder if they didnt correct that with forcing yoga. That's what this is going to be called by the way. Splendid yoga TM.

#

But I noticed it doesnt force you to stand up now, so Im guessing..

#

Or maybe it just didnt happen to me..

quartz magnet
#

it does force a stand up under some circumstances (like if you try crawling under water)

#

otherwise it's just yoga

hi there guys i lost all levels in KOTH can someone help?

slender pebble

This is the wrong place, go ask on the koth discord.

urban sluice
#

where is that ?

thin sable
#

just linked you

#

on the other channel you asked...

#

😛

rugged tartan
#

I'd imagine you would find it if you googled

thin sable
#

dont ask on many channels

urban sluice
#

ty for the help

rugged tartan
#

@urban sluice is it on the rhs servers? Because that is a separate database.

urban sluice
#

sorry i dont know what is rhs server

rugged tartan
#

There are new servers that use the rhs mod

urban sluice
#

im at wasteland koth discord

rugged tartan

Oh gl

yep i googlit koth discord should be in thje right place but have to wait 10m :/

#

im honestly sad that there is not gonna be more offical DLC.

#

now all i can wait for is arma4

#

its a wierd feeling

meager tundra
#

Eh, I feel pretty good about it tbh

quartz magnet
#

save the money for A4?

#

and play the game in the meanwhile

marsh rover
#

i sure will

quartz magnet
#

don't just keep buying stuff

meager tundra
#

With the hiring of people like Reyhard and Kllrt I feel like they're going in the right direction according to me.

proud pollen
#

people who say that Bohemia needs to do a modern setting despite the fact that they'll just use modded content anyways

marsh rover
#

the thing is

#

i havent seen any single player campaings that are as long and as good as the offical ones

proud pollen
#

Resist.

meager tundra
#

Damn

#

Beat me to it.

marsh rover
#

that use modern assets*

#

Oh

#

I quite liked Deliverance

marsh rover
#

yeah it was nice

proud pollen
#

Deliverance was nice. Callsign Minotaur too.

#

And Showcase CTRG.

finite relic
#

I would have liked to see someone make one in the spirit of The Chernarus Run

marsh rover
#

i really hated the setting when i heard about it. i even hated it after playing the game for the first week. But after playing trought all of the DLC campaings i realized how deep and interesting story/plot they were able to create for the game

#

and i grew to love it in the end

proud pollen
#

I wish we had more content for Tanoa.

marsh rover
#

ME WANT EAGLE WING ARMA3

proud pollen
#

The NATO vs China/CSAT stuff there is just pure awesomeness.

marsh rover
#

i have 3000h of arma and i dont think i have ever played tanoa outside the sp campaing

#

imo its hard to build mission in it and since its dlc its not used in milsim units i play in

proud pollen
#

Those are rookie numbers

finite relic
#

Reminds me that I need to finish "Rock you like a Typhoon" .....

proud pollen
#

I'm at 7,699.

marsh rover
#

i knew that was coming

proud pollen
#

With another 2000-3000 in tools.

meager tundra
#

Embracing the community, which let's be honest, is where most of the longevity of the ARMA series come from, by hiring prominent people in the creator content community I personally believe that future installments will be positively impactful in giving them more opportunities to create even more phenomenal content like ACE3, RHS, CUP, and all other fantastic mods who lay the groundwork for a very customizable experience which will both keep a engaged and active userbase, but also make sure ARMA keeps selling copies from a commercial point of view.

proud pollen
#

Yeah the modding community is pretty amazing.

meager tundra
#

Just my 00.2 cents

marsh rover
#

if arma4 had TFR, ACE and fully clickalbe copkits i could stop all other games

finite relic
#

(do remember that its already been proven that you can up your hours solely by leaving the launcher open, so hours mean zilch)

proud pollen
#

Ehhh...

marsh rover
#

i have like 600h of afk

proud pollen
#

I'm fine with better radios (not TFAR level) but not ACE.

marsh rover
#

my hours are 3600 - 600 >D

proper flower
#

Why do people even leave it open?

marsh rover
#

lazy

#

i also forget athena on

finite relic
#

to say they have 7,000 hours

meager tundra
#

ACE should probably not exist in the vanilla game, no.

proper flower
#

It annoys me whenever i see a window open that i am not using

proud pollen
#

It's too much for me personally. I like Arma how it is.

marsh rover
#

i wish someone ported the arma3 vanila campaings to ace medical

meager tundra
#

And that's fine. There is more to ARMA then the milsim communities.

marsh rover
#

i could be an option?

#

if servers could pick between the 2

proper flower
#

Waa

marsh rover
#

it would create a shitstorm between the players in reddit tho

proud pollen
#

And regarding content I would rather see BIS do a fictional one like Arma 3's instead of modern. Not only is it easier for licensing, it opens opportunities for more interesting content and settings. I'd rather leave the contemporary stuff to mods.

meager tundra
#

Having people expand on the original scope of ARMA, like your Aegis mod, is also very nice for those who liked the narrative of a quasi-futuristic conflict.

proud pollen
#

😄

marsh rover
#

well

#

i really dont want arma to go any further into the future

#

Korean war could be nice

#

hard to make green faction tho

proud pollen
#

It won't be set in the past.

#

For sure.

marsh rover
#

how do u know?

proud pollen
#

Because that'll get rid of certain features.

marsh rover
#

like?

#

thermals?

proud pollen
#

FCS. I'm not exactly sure but still.

meager tundra
#

get rid of the scroll menu grrrrrr

proud pollen
#

I'd rather have a setting that embraces all of the current features and more.

#

Which the 2035 setting does a pretty good job of.

marsh rover
#

just no jetpacks

meager tundra
#

That would be absurd

proud pollen
#

Nah dude; Arma 2142 now

marsh rover
#

oh god

#

plz no

finite relic
#

slowly backs away and heads off to the pub.... 🍺

meager tundra
#

I seriously doubt we'll ever see that in a ARMA installment

Happy pubbing @finite relic

Honestly I think something between 2020 and 2040 would be perfect.

marsh rover
#

well condiering the game is prolly not coming out before 2020 that wouldnt be much into the future

meager tundra
#

Personally, I quite enjoyed the guerilla narrative of the ARMA 3 campaign, I think embracing a more unconventional warfare focus of ARMA would be a nice change, but that's just my personal opinions of the things I like.

#

Personally I'm not a fan of unconventional warfare.

marsh rover

I love the conventional conflict going on between NATO and CSAT.

proud pollen
#

I enjoy my Armatas thank you

thin sable
#

was talking about Arma 4

#

youll be an old man when it comes out

proud pollen
#

Admittedly I think they could've done better with Arma 3 but yknow.

night patio
#

deadass cant play arma 3 without RHS

proud pollen
#

If I had my way there'd be coilgun tanks everywhere

proper flower
#

Deadass? What are you 12?

night patio
#

the identical retextured assets make me that annoyed

marsh rover
#

thank god the railgun tank was canceled

proud pollen
#

Nah

#

There were two variants

meager tundra
#

Fair point Goat.

proud pollen
#

Cannon and coilgun

marsh rover
#

idc, i just dont want railguns in arma

#

in any shape or form

proper flower
#

Who says you have to use it just because it exists?

marsh rover
#

everything in arma3 is based on something from real life

#

and railgun would not fit that theme

thin sable
#

and why not

proper flower
#

🤷

proud pollen
#

It's future warfare

#

Don't use it if you don't like it

meager tundra
#

I do worry the whole BLUFOR vs REDFOR thing is getting a little bit tired for the people who have been at BI for a good while though, I believe this can partly be seen through the introduction of GREENFOR as a third party in the ARMA 3 conflict, and the change of focus to unconventional warfare in the campaign.

marsh rover
#

could you please point me to a military prototype vehicle that uses a railgun as its main weapon? @thin sable

thin sable
#

no

marsh rover
#

my point exactly

thin sable
#

but it does not mean its not possible

#

I dont have access to that kind of information

#

Navy has something in r & d always

marsh rover
#

well techicly world peace is not impossible, its just not gonna happen

I'll get back to you in 17 years @marsh rover

#

wait this is not reddit

#

Peace sells,
But who is buying

meager tundra
#

(That's just pure speculation on my part though)

marsh rover
#

all the arma vehicles are based on real ones or public prototypes.

proud pollen
#

Doesn't mean they can't have some fun

marsh rover
#

fun is what modding is for

proud pollen
#

Boi what

proper flower
#

@meager tundra I would imgine that is the case, to whatever extent we will never know

proud pollen
#

You can't have fun with your job?

marsh rover
#

my point is it doesnt fit in with the other vehicels

#

they need a story why only CSAT have railgun tech

#

and why only in 1 vehicle

#

its not that simple

proud pollen
#

Well we were gonna get a story but then the 2011 plot was axed

marsh rover
#

i was kinda dissapointed that the "device" was never explained

#

i wanna know how it works

proud pollen
#

🤷

marsh rover
#

i want an arma3 campaing where the player is miller during east wind

#

that would be so cool

meager tundra
#

I cannot for the life of me ever take Miller again seriously after seeing super Miller land

marsh rover
#

😄

proud pollen
#

For the record, the coilgun Varsuk was a prototype being developed by Ostad Javerd Attar of Red Pegasus (Iranian R&D thingy) it lacked a coax and wasn't produced a lot

#

That's all I know going off files from alpha and what little info remains

marsh rover
#

the tank or the railgun tech?

proud pollen
#

Coilgun* tech

#

Tank is just a T-80UM2

#

Like other varsuks

wheat bone
#

Varsuk isn't T-80

marsh rover
#

source?

#

@proud pollen

proud pollen
#

T-80UM2

#

Google it

wheat bone
#

Varsuk is based off from Black Eagle

proud pollen
#

Which is a T-80UM2

marsh rover
#

do you have a source for that coilgun tech?

proud pollen
#

I'll post when I'm home

marsh rover
#

aight, ping me to it. It sounds interesting

sweet axle
#

Object 640 Black Eagle, is not T-80UM

meager tundra
wheat bone
#

As it was only a prototype calling it T-80 is an overkill (it has 1 more road wheel than T-80 btw), plus you'll find just as many pics of it under a name T-95.

marsh rover
#

Uuh

#

That a10 is nice

#

The full fidelity apache is also really cool

marsh rover
#

I wish it would be ezier to get in touch with the old armaholic published devs. If that could be published to steam workshop it could be used in my unit :(

proud pollen
sweet axle
#

T-80UM-1 was a T-80U with Arena APS. T-80UM-2 had drozd APS instead. Black eagle came after UM-2

marsh rover
#

Looking a the last link it seems that in the campaing we were meant to play as CTRG

#

At the*

proud pollen
#

ah, i stand corrected then

#

and yes @marsh rover that was the old campaign during the game's 2011 dev cycle

#

The East Wind came to fruition around 2012

marsh rover
#

Oof

#

I want that so much

proud pollen
#

funfact, showcase diver was partially supposed to be the first mission of east wind

marsh rover
#

In the ctrg one or the nato one?

proud pollen
#

east wind

marsh rover
#

Oh yeah

proud pollen
#

2011 campaign was "operation magnitude"

marsh rover
#

I wish BI would releace whatever they had done about the story and the missions

#

Someone (me) could make it into a finished product

proud pollen
#

i'd rather just have a blogpost with all the ideas

#

tho i'd love if they'd release stuff like the AMOS Marshall, KSG, M72 LAW, and all the other cut stuff in the samples package

wheat bone
#

or textures that are sitting in the game but aren't used

proud pollen
#

Yeah.

marsh rover
#

I wonder if they had plans for a 3rd map

proud pollen
#

The muzzle suppressors which work perfectly.

marsh rover
#

Since theres nato woodland camo

proud pollen
#

But aren't used.

I just wish there was a COWS model, all the textures are there. 😢

#

i want muh ARCO on sterioids

marsh rover
#

Do you mean the animal cow of smth else?

proud pollen
#

its a cut scope

#

basically a TWS but with night vision too

wheat bone
#

Isn't that nightstalker though?

proud pollen
#

i guess but isn't an AMS just a DMS? 😛

marsh rover
#

Nightstalker is OP

#

Zoom , range finder ect.

proud pollen
#

best part is you can still see it used in the first community guide

#

also diff EBR model which imo looks better

meager tundra
#

No way lmao

proud pollen
#

#

Here it is. Not the first one but still.

knotty plinth
#

DMS is good for upto 700-800m ish and AMS can do about double

wheat bone
#

it had iron sight, nice. There are shotguns in Dslyecxi's guide.

proud pollen
#

yup

#

@wanton arrow has brought back some of the old stuff tho which is awesome

#

Vermin SMG flashlight for example, and the pistol flashlights

wheat bone
#

Yeah it's really nice.

meager tundra
#

Pistol flashlights 👌

proud pollen
#

I have quite a few of the attachments working tho.

#

Osprey suppressor for 4-five, muzzle suppressors, SRS scope, TWS Sniper, DCL-120, etc.

meager tundra
#

Yeah I need to check our Aegis again, last time I did was when it first released.

proud pollen
#

Ooooh it's come a long way lol

meager tundra
#

I have no doubt ^^

proud pollen

I'd try out the dev version (doesn't require dev branch); we're currently working on overhauling some old stuff, + Russian forces (which you can see in our thread)

meager tundra

@proud pollen >people who say that Bohemia needs to do a modern setting despite the fact that they'll just use modded content anyways Pretty much... some people may not have heard of (or do not recognize) the time that Maruk said that A2's content level "is simply overwhelming, and in hindsight might not be commercially justifiable for a single game" as writing on the wall...

proud pollen
#

Not only that, but Arma 3's quality is WAY higher than Arma 2's.

#

Most of Arma 2's models were just ported from the first game too.

opal nacelle
#

Maruk noted the disparity too, that "the majority of the general audience and media did not care much about sheer scale of Arma 2. Instead, they were disappointed with performance, lack of polish, and the bugs." Doesn't excuse A3's own bugginess and legacy issues due to engine limitations, buuuuuut...

proud pollen
#

I think the same level of content as Arma 3 Win's release would be perfect for Arma 4's launch.

opal nacelle
#

And regarding content I would rather see BIS do a fictional one like Arma 3's instead of modern. Not only is it easier for licensing, it opens opportunities for more interesting content and settings. I'd rather leave the contemporary stuff to mods. I don't know if anyone else would agree with this, but one advantage to a fictional setting: want asymmetrical balancing without going artificial (beyond the sort imposed by the limits of one's engine/depth of simulation)? Find a real-world asset that matches the niche you want and reproduce it faithfully, 'inauthenticity to its assigned faction's real-world TO&E' be damned 😉

proud pollen
#

3 CAS jets - 1 for each faction, 3 tanks - 1 for each faction, etc.

opal nacelle
#

Errr, that's more like one each... EDIT: and all three jets were ground attack-oriented

proud pollen
#

Sorry that's what I meant. 😛

#

I'd rather see Bohemia work on a potentially interesting a new setting than reinventing the wheel once again.

opal nacelle
#

i.e. "2035 done intentionally instead of a rushjob that had to be fleshed out over the next five years"

proud pollen
#

Yeah.

#

To be fair they had a rocky development cycle.

#

But now they've got way more resources from the looks of it - and a new engine.

midnight swift
#

Personally I'd rather they went and reinvented the wheel again; 2035 is done. How about the Korean War?

proud pollen
#

I'd rather stick to contemporary at the minimum. Slightly futuristic preferably.

#

Korean War is really niche.

opal nacelle
#

Anything historical runs into "how much effort is being put into engine capabilities that don't exist in the historical setting?"

proud pollen
#

Unless you mean a continuation, which I doubt they'd do. 😛

night patio

proud pollen

BIS always tries to do fictional settings.

#

Nah, Multicam (none of that Scorpion W2 trash) my dude.

night patio
opal nacelle
#

BIS always tries to do fictional settings. I take it that you mean in terms of countries where the conflicts play out, even if they're obvious renamings

proud pollen
#

Yup.

#

Even with the Greek setting in 2011, it was still fictionalized as 'New Greece', under Iranian control - 2012 setting less so with the HAF and Lemnos, but still.

opal nacelle
#

The problem with any historical setting as vanilla Arma is that if part of the Arma series' appeal is its moddability but also how much is simulated-or-not, then presumably you'd want as much capability simulated in the game/engine, but the cost/benefit ratio of tasking devs to said capabilities in a setting that won't take advantage of said capabilities versus contemporary or future...

opal nacelle
#

Also, I don't know if Maruk's... 'yeah let's not do that' with depicting the 1960s-1975 war in Vietnam extends to historical wars in general versus 'definitely fictional if historically-inspired' ones (i.e. Cold War gone hot)

Honestly Korea war wouldn't be a bad idea. It's called the forgotten war for a reason.

midnight oak

It involved lots of new concepts. Jets were pretty new in general use of combat.

Helicopters saw a limited use as well.

i just want to be certain before i dump the cash and send off a key . i was wondering about the bi store..

Steam will let you know if you can gift something, yeah

It's usually the cheaper regional stores that may not be able to buy things for the more expensive regions

But try selecting it as a gift for the person

BI store is slightly annoying in that the other person needs a BI account

Although they do send you a key if you email them

so maybe there is hope

I also demand more guns, vehicles, aircraft, tanks. EVERYTHING!

But keep the virtual arsenal please...

#

The amount of guns in Arma 3 makes it so difficult to pick

meager tundra

TFAR is lightweight and easy to use enough to be implemented in vanilla in some capacity, at least the principles of it since IP rights and stuff.

The concept of ingame radios isn't patented

Well yeah.

DayZ radio implementation sounds more like TFAR than acre

meager tundra

The fact that you need to physically bring out the radio into your hand to talk (atm in the least) makes me want to seriously reconsider bashing my head into a wall

I still don't think jets have any real place in Arma

not at the present scales (and view distances) anyway

Slower propeller planes? Those would be good

Or maybe the old stuff like the Sabre and MiG-15

quiet pine
#

on Altis it's worth it, cross 10km, bomb, leave

something like a B-52 would be enjoyable... Imagine a turret on a turret, AA , etc, fully-manned vehicle with its dedicated crew and not 3 poor guys

Super tocano would be super nice to have.

You can say Jets have no place all you want, but catapulting off the Freedom never fails to put a dumb grin on my face.

I am not a big fan of jets either, but hey they can help

I'm more in love with CAS though

submarines < boats < jets < planes < helicopters < tanks < cars < infantry in order of (my) importance rating in Arma

#

not that I wouldn't enjoy everything to be implemented!

#

hehe, I just imagined being a diver caught in-between a torpedo-fest submarine fight

urban sluice
#

I have flown about 700 hours on arma out of 1,300 because I am a jet lover

quartz magnet
#

If someone ever put Altis and Stratis on the same map with some 20km between them, probably would make for an okay jet sized terrain

urban sluice
#

YEA

#

Great idea!

quartz magnet
#

helicopters are a really good fit though

urban sluice
#

Then that gives me a reason to have a squadron of jets!!

quiet pine
#

Jets vs Jets, active/passive radar and terrain relief will come in

quartz magnet
#

at that point you may as well play DCS

urban sluice
#

I play DCS but I'm not paying for other aircraft, I know how to fly the aircraft in DCS like the Su-25 but I dont want to waste money.

#

hey, it's great to offer CAS/air support for pals on the ground
but I get it that for Jets it can be boring: no CAS, just wait for someone to tag targets and come back home (ooor dogfight!)

hey friends

arma is pretty cool

isnt it?

👀

#

I think so

not kicked out yet?

meager tundra
#

DCS is as close as you can get to a authentic experience without sitting in the 'pit physically (or a fancy simulator worth millions of dollars of course), personally I don't see it as a waste of money due to the sheet amount of research that goes into making it that me as a consumer has a authentic experience.

#

That is entirely subjective though

quartz magnet
#

I see DCS more as "buy the few planes you like, ignore the rest, the few will keep you occupied for hours"

meager tundra
#

Yeah ofc, I doubt a majority or even close to it owns more then a few modules at maximum.

plus i think Flaming Cliffs stuff includes a bunch of planes

massive stutters when someone joins / leave / respawn

Infinite loading time bugs, insane loading times otherwise

hmm, dicked around with the "free" version 2.0, but not fun with mouse and keyboard/or PS4 controler

i only have 24GB, 32gb for real?

slender pebble
#

24GB should be enough... hopefully

#

but there are long standing issues that they're not addressing that pisses me off

#

that stutter has been there for more than a year now

#

whenever I start having fun I either crash due to stutters, the game freeze and crash or I get shot down by invisible ground fire :/

#

if the fucking mining prices ever drop i plan building my new 64GB machine, but that is IF i can buy a decent video card without costing me as much as it would now

mining isn't the issue tbh, it's more on samsung hiking NAND price like crazy

and also phones demand for them^ 😄

but yeah, you could say i'm dissatisfied with DCS right now, it's just too much.

fossil ermine
#

ok, well, just wondering, since a lot of people praised 2.5 update

It's really nice how they scatter references to the older arma games in 3

quiet pine
#

like the sunk Osprey in Stratis?

lilac bolt
#

the IDAP showcase has a pamphlet or poster somewhere with a testimony from somebody who lived in chernarus

#

with the arma 2 old lady model as a picture

#

laws of war has a little offhand mention of serving in chernarus and takistan

slender pebble
#

LOW campaign has mentions of goat fuc... I mean a private goofing with a goat 😄

#

which is pretty much a recurring gag in A3 by now

meager tundra
#

@slender pebble Wait for real?

slender pebble
#

well yes

#

behind the church, further than the graveyard

#

can't remember the name of the private, adams maybe?

meager tundra
#

No spoilerinos pls

#

Anyone here an ACE user?

Plenty of people are ACE users @finite steppe, why?

#

Does anyone know any animation mods that change the sprinting animations for Arma 3

tranquil bay
#

changes to what?

urban sluice
#

Mainly what I'm looking for is unarmed sprinting

topaz stag
#

maybe his rooking per that dayz sprinting mod

#

tat AWG exile uses

tranquil bay
#

i'm not aware of a single mod outside bigger mods

urban sluice
#

Well any kind of mod that contains a change to the unarmed spriting animation is honestly fine by me

#

I've seen the Arma 2 to Arma 3 animation mod but is there anything else?

tranquil bay
#

don't think so. if something exists that is influencing the running, it's part of a bigger mod like ace or exile or whatever

urban sluice
#

honestly any suggestion is fine really 🙂

#

Oh wow idk what AWG uses but that anim is super nice

tranquil bay
urban sluice
#

they make the animations have less delay and stopping like if you were to strafe left and right on default, your player would stop, kneel, and then move the other direction

#

that mod fixes that, although its not a new running animation i hella need this anyway thx

#

^example

Don't you just love people it when people go onto your units discord and start advertising

slender pebble

that's why you got your turret

hearty island
#

ban em and report them to Arma discord moderators.

#

It's bad for Arma discord's reputation if members from here find other servers via this discord and then go spam them

urban sluice
#

Who's the mods, the bi minions?

slender pebble
#

the forum moderators on the BI forums

hearty island

BI minions are BI employees who love to not get bothered while working on fixing important bugs

can any one help me debunk a myth ? i was told by a player that ai work better in groups of 8 because there are 8 bits to a byte. i find this kinda hilarious but if someone else wants to weigh in..

slender pebble
#

that's the weirdest thing i've read all day

knotty plinth
#

That's an awesome myth

#

I'm so gonna have to point that reason out when we finish an op and someone complains about the AI

slender pebble
#

"no, you see I keep topping up the groups not because I hate you but because performance reasons"

#

gets shot

#

lol

hearty island
#

debunks the myth

#

there done.

finite flame
#

😃

quiet pine
#

yeah don't worry about it really 😉

hearty island
#

If a AI was one bit big that might make sense. But they are not

finite flame
#

the problem with this guy is hes played arma its whole existance and is retired software engineer , trying to tell him this is another thing.

urban sluice
#

The AI units consume a lot more RAM than a bit! Probably several MB's each.

hearty island
#

He is a software engineer?

#

wtf...

#

software as in.. manufacturing sponges in a factory?

urban sluice
#

Not all software engineers are any good, FizzBuzz comes to mind

finite flame
#

yea if i told you whsat he engineer, it would scare u

slender pebble
#

software engineer majored in PHP 😄

quiet pine
#

well… 👀
tell him to bring evidence 😄

finite flame
#

good idea

hearty island
#

@slender pebble JS

slender pebble
#

#

remember ded, vscode is mostly coffeescript

#

there's hope

finite flame
#

is there a starbuckcode

quiet pine
slender pebble
#

hearty island
#

There is Cafe OS which is running the Espresso with process isolation in the Wii U. The Starbuck and Espresso are processors in the Wii U. And there is Starbuck code.

urban sluice

What is a brainfuck?

hearty island
finite flame

hearty island

When I was flying the F-15, I went afterburner and pulled some fucking crazy maneuvers and I reached 1400KM/H without passing out the entire time like I was all over the place, and when I turn afterburner off I noticed that my fuel was dropping increasingly. My aircraft was constantly maintaining 1000+ KM/H and it would not slow down. What concerned me was the fact that I HAD NO FUEL! and still managed to maintain 1000+ KM/H for almost 8 minutes, I could not even decrease my speed. I tried air brakes, flaps, maneuvers and NOTHING WORKED? So Kain decided to spawn atleast 10+ Shilkas to shoot me down and it literally took him and his Shilkas about 2 minutes to shoot me out of the sky at close range, I evaded the shit out of 10+ ZSU's and lived 2 minutes up close with them raining hell unto me.

#

From 3 days ago ^

slender pebble
#

sounds like arma jets to me

urban sluice
#

Obviously

hearty island
#

Doubt...

#

1000+ KM/h and a shilka shooting you down 😮

slender pebble
#

nah, I don't doubt it myself

urban sluice
#

The F-15 I used was by firewill

slender pebble
#

jets are broken AF in arma, let alone modded ones...

hearty island
#

Ah. That explains it. Brittle stuff

urban sluice
#

It shot me down when I was pulling the maneuvers and airbrakes to slow me down. I managed to slow to about 600

#

Well "it" as in 10 or more fucking shilkas

proper flower
#

I mean. They're wonky, but not that wonky

slender pebble
#

arma jets have the thrust to weight ratio of a falcon heavy

urban sluice
proper flower
#

No

slender pebble
#

and negative air resistance 😄

proper flower
#

"Chat is dead guys" "i have to post elsewjere"

urban sluice
#

I think it was because I did maneuvers pulling fucking 12G with ace on at about 1000+ KM so it might have glitched my fuel system and took the aircraft with it

hearty island
proper flower
#

"If somebody doesn't respond on 0.5 seconds then chat is DEAD"

slender pebble
#

4 hours? HAHAHAHAHA

proper flower
#

Yes, because i am seriously using 0.5 seconds as an accurate measurement

slender pebble
#

a lot of the channels here haven't been used in days

hearty island
#

Shall I really make a query and find out which channel hasn't been used the longest time? I'm thinking about it but not sure if worth

proper flower

urban sluice
#

Dead or not, it's against the rules and should not be taken to other channels wether it be a small thing.
