I would like to know the gun and missile class name for the T-50. RHS
I would like to know the name of the r74 or r77 missile class.
I want to know that the bh-gsh-30 is also a class name.
Do you know anyone?
In Eden check the config viewer
Thanks for telling me how.
In fact thinking about it, just hovering over them in Eden should display it under the cursor?
Yall know of any Warhammer 40k mods ?
Maaaybe on the Steam Workshop
I couldn't find any
There is only war
Then most likely none - or illegal
I think that’s the name of the mod
No idea if it’s legit though
what's the goto CTI dynamic mission these days? :>
Liberation still, and I’m almost certain it got a new update recently?
oh neat :D
wishing there was sc 64 warlords on livonia
Cannot take those space bugs seriously
csat be like yeah i can see you in different colors
chad fia be like gimme the money or you get no pew pew machine
Hello there, I'm thinking about upgrading my rig, but I can't afford to upgrade both GPU and CPU at the same time... Which component is the most important for Arma 3? (its the game I play the most anyway)
Defo CPU
depends on what you currently have and what your current bottleneck is
Do you guys know a good mission for a fighter jet I usually am a pilot in online events and I just want to play on my own for a bit so does anyone have a good mission for me thanks
You can make your own in Editor
Not wanting to advertise, buuut…
@rustic gate → #hardware_vs_arma will have the experts for you
Ah sorry didn't see that room, thank you
@urban sluice next sail?
Edited*
https://steamdb.info/sales/history/ is a good indicator
although BI usually has few extra sales once in a while
My guess is the next sale is this weekend
I'm newish to arma3 and need sw to tech me in more depth about the game so its more enjoyable
@full heath
#info_help_tips had a lot of useful information
Yall know of any Warhammer 40k mods ?
@deep topaz there is only war is the name its dev for like 5 years'
there's also grimdark armory as an addon
is there a HQ full version of IFA3 still going to happen or is it dead in the water?
@patent frigate
As far as I know nothing has been announced about that topic recently so its most likely on hold @cosmic nebula
Alhough if you want updates about IFA3 I recommend joining the WW2 Projects discord and checkinmg that every now and then

Who knows what the smart peeps are putting together for us in the shady back alleys of discord servers @cosmic nebula 
hi
Quick question if I am not mistaken its better not to start conflict with a squad because I am well hidden in grass and I can easily take out this group but then again I can just pass them what should I do :/
If you can kill them all without any risk of getting shot yourself, or when they pose a threat to someone else; take them out.
Otherwise let them pass and find a better (safer) position to take them out if needed.
So I did something stupid I use the mod ace and I was in pain with the medical menu and to make it long story short I used a bit to much morphine on myself and passed out how long does it usually take to wake up?
Also sorry for all the questions I am a bit new to arma
Never mind I think I died of a overdose :/
😂 That's normal at first, you have to tinker with the medical settings and find what works for you
My guess is the next sale is this weekend
@onyx wigeon Who are you paying?
guys where can i put screen shots and links
#screenshots_arma for screenshots.
Links are dependent on the subject matter. 😄
look in dms nillers
@onyx wigeon https://discordapp.com/channels/105462288051380224/175236295147257856/753700388623876136 seems like you spent your lotto points
@static prawn look at dms
Is there a place to discuss bans?
@midnight topaz probably a bad idea to ping Bohemians in general let alone about a dm - if he has a response you’ll hear it there
@wraith crow not really. if its battleye ban you need to contact them. if its server ban you need to contact server owner
so uh
when are we getting women in arma
i mean idk about yall but im trynw see some big booty bitches after killin some terrorists yer
dunno about big booties but possibly around christmas
WAIT FR???
bruh im deadass finna make charlies angels
30 highly trained women from across the worlds deadliest SOFs
The A2 babushka fits into that plan 10/10
out of curiosity how are you managing the voices?
i mean if there arent voices i personally dont mind it since my milsim unit never uses the in game voices anyway
Its going to need a community effort to make those
as well as all the necessary gear. Im providing base mesh and animation conversion
and in the future animation fixes and refinement and possibly community animation additions
hi
im new to arma and i have a question
should i play vinilla arma or modded arma?
depends what you want to experience. to get started vanilla Arma offers plenty in both single player (where you should start anway) and in multiplayer
mods are not universal so it depends on the server you want to play on or the group you want to play with on what is used
Not really better or worse. There are many different kinds of mods.
still depends on the server
there are some small mods that work on your client only but most mods need to be same on server and clients
which servers would you recommend
I have none to recommend. I usually play with friends
oh ok make sense now
Arma servers are not like your typical shooter games
yeah ik
anyways thanks!
Um I have this problem I am doing the VR training and for some reason when I start the autocannon course it just says I am out of ammo repeatedly
@urban sluice #arma3_troubleshooting would be the place to go most likely.
Thanks
@raw badger https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started Would be a good place to start! 😄
I know people usually find recruitment posts or have to go through the iffy process of trying to connect to a random server, but is there any other ways to recruit for a unit or promote your servers?
See #communities_arma3, second door to your left.
ehm.... so i managed to make a mission with the Liberty as my HQ, i was able to get a supply drop of infantry to the Helipad and all was looking good, but when i commanded them to mount up in the speedboat all i got was "Negative" ad infinitum. Now they are just glitching all over the boat :<
what did i do wrong? D:
Guys I cant enter in survival servers there is a error saying I missing files bla bla bla?
it's most likely because bla bla bla
TLDR: try joining from the Launcher so required mods will be loaded properly @sage kayak
hey guys does any know were i can download fox s vehicle pack i found this but no download link hey guys does any https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z1E22z5FAjmCOVD7oAxGj1-xA37V722Hs2GKU8IehjM/edit if anyone can help me that would be awsome thanks from csimms
@north hare
this mod doers not look legal
ok
@tranquil bay im looking for some fire dpet vehicles fos arma 3 cause im trying to create a city edit
Fox mods aren't. They're all pulled from other games
does anyone know were i can some fire dept vehicles
🤷♂️
i'm not aware of any legal mods that contain EMS vehicles
ok
what mods should i get, v new to the game, idk whats fun, help
When you are new to the game, mods are the last thing you should try. Better is to learn how vanilla game works first. Then make up your own mind what you like changed.
also there are not really any universal mods that run everywhere
mod sets are different on each server.
official servers though use no mods so they are good way to get started with MP
but there is also the single player campaign and tutorials that you should play first
If you define fun as challenging but highly rewarding then yes
Arma is definitely alot of fun, if you manage to find a community, or just a server that you’d enjoy playing on, be it vanilla arma, or modded, and get together with other people. As long as it’s something you want to do, then I can guarantee it’s worth getting, it’s all up to your own playstyle, but there’s alot of potential to what you can do in this game, and the modding is basically infinite.
Yo Im a brand new player to arma (literally downloaded it today). Do you guys know of any communities to join?
If you're looking for a community I recommend having a look at #communities_arma3 , if you're new I recommend also having a look at #info_help_tips and reading through the getting started guide @unreal scaffold
does anyone wnna play
@urban sluice #looking_for_game
oh ok
Huh is arma itself not avaible on the BI store anymore?
Which Arma?
any 👀
I only see the contact special edition https://store.bistudio.com/category/arma-series
Hmm... Looks like one needs to buy Contact Collector's Edition if wants to buy
I was hoping that arma would be avaible on the store too at the discounted price so that I could buy a key for an international friend
@mental juniper Short answer, no. At this time we no longer sell digital keys via the BI store.
Oki, I assume there isnt any other way to buy the game officially than through steam then @static prawn ?
Unless you managed to grab a key from somewhere like Humble Bundle during the sale there, no, not that I'm aware.
Oki
oh shit arma is 7$
Trust the BI website to go down right as I'm trying to use it.
well i now has arma
👍
oh boy here i go playin arma
hi guys
hello
only the base game to enjoy the base game!
there are some helicopters and some tanks in the base game, too
thnxs bro
See https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started#Buying_Arma_3 for more info!
(…when the wiki answers; it has some issues rn)
read the message that pops up before the game crashes
→ #arma3_troubleshooting @ashen notch
is it worth getting arma?
yes. buy it.
If you feel it's worth, it's worth. If you don't, don't.
Really depends on the genre you like
Asking that question in the official Discord?! I don't get it.
well for that i need to wait but ill miss the 6,99 euro discount
¯_(ツ)_/¯
well since you guys experienced i just wanna know
Experienced guys only have one answer: yes
it's worth it, but not for everyone 🙂
well aight thanks
If you want to play a COD/BF like game -> Nope.
Like if you don't like war, it's not yours!
you can try a bit "Project Argo" if it still exists, it shows a bit of gameplay
Then it's probalby not for you ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yes, Argo is actually terrible:D
argo is the most unoptimized game ever holy jesus thiccaroni
my grandma could make better game than that
its like arma 3 but from Wish
well, Arma 3 is better then 😛
if i get refund for battlefield 4 i will gladly want you to teach me how to play it brother 🙂
because you don't play it anymore 😢
oh now that hurts :/

people in #looking_for_game and #end_of_life_arma
thanks

More specifically in #arma3_troubleshooting
sorry
Yo I’m gonna get a pc really soon and I’m pretty interested in this game, can anyone explain the basics to me?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig9z_hDSjuU Watch this, it'll give you an idea, a somewhat exaggerated idea, but an idea nonetheless. Personally, I find it to be more fun with friends than alone, but that's just my personal opinion.
Is arma3 worth getting?
yes.
guys can i join ur games without apex dlc
@urban sluice you can join games that do not use the Apex terrain, a.k.a Tanoa
or Livonia
im new to arma 3
🥁
Hi new to arma 3, I'm dad!!
does anyone play atlis life anymore?
Leutin and Drewski got some good intro vids on youtube
wait why do you ask that @tulip nacelle is atlis life dead ?
rimmydownundergaming has funny videos
not sure, I don't have the game right now just curious
ohhh how one can hope haha
There's a sale on steam for up to 80% off rn.
There should be loads of new players soon.
Looks like meats back on the menu
a little soylent green does no harm
Buy Moar Contact DLC, need some Livonia peeps 😦
Should I get arma?
Yes
If you play through most of the single player content, you will learn almost all the basics say for advance tactics you sorta learn online. The bigges pitfall is people jumping right into MP not knowing what enemies look like, friendlies, ect.
and I heard it’s toxic
That’s a very small minority
I’ve been playing a lot of stalker recently and would you say it’s similar to stalker?
no
hello
Mhm okkk
except you point gun at things and shoot
im planning on getting arma 3 since its 7 dolalrs
but Stalker is very different in its gameplay
and if I buy arma would I have to play a modded version or vanilla?
@tough glacier Do it no hesitation
are there any nessectices dlc
you can play it as you like
Stalkers a masterpiece tho
No but Apex and Contact DLC are great
i dont ahve much money to spend
Modded is NOT neccesary. It's an option.
Would you recommend modded or vanilla? (Like rag doll mods and gore mods)
No but Apex and Contact DLC are great
@velvet cobalt apex pack or just apex
there are not really that kind of mods for Arma
Apex and Contact DLC add maps, which you can't play missions on on if you don't have it.
I’ve seen them tho
well I would not really say such are needed in any way
Apex edition includes a lot of DLC
they both cost like 7 dollars though
i would say get it if its the same price
but also in Arma the single player campaigns are designed to be played without mods
nope its way more
and in multiplayer the server dictates what mods, if any are used
Start with the base game first, then you can decide what you want to do after
Likely there will be another sale in 2 months time, Halloween anybody?
Yes, but if you don't want to get them now, you can again later.
yes
Is arma 3 like insurgency sandstorm?
No
I think there have been atleast 3 sale periods this year already. Not sure if that is every year the case, or only now due to Corona/Covid.
no
not even with planes
In arma you are a infantry soldier, you can walk, shoot, drive, fly, drone.
Again no, they're vastly different in many ways, war thunder is much more focused on vehicle warfare, ARMA tries to capture all aspects of it to the best of its abaility
Arma does not compare to arcade like games
@dusky valley negative, In arma you can be whatever you want
Warthunder and the likes are also more run gun arcade games
And do what you want
is the flight similar
I wouldn't know I haven't played WT
^ Unless you solely fly
also Arma 3 is in more modern setting
Didn't I say that? You are not restricted to be a pilot, not restricted to drive, not restricted to do 1 thing. I guess I should add you can be an unarmed civie too.
so no, the Jets behave very different from older planes
Yep, you can do and be whatever you like
Soldier, pilot, tank crew, civvie, humanitarian worker etc etc the list is endless
ok, sorry, was too specific
potato farmer?
Oh and not forgetting evryones favourite, ghillie MMG sniper AT guy
Yeah if you want and can script potato farming 😂
well if you create a mission where you are a potato farmer you can be a potato farmer
my irish blood is happy
Glad we could help during the famine
In short, if you can think it and script it, you can do it, arma will let you if you have the knowledge and skill
The most common thing you can be, is a dead man ....
i will grow potatos as far as the eye can see as that is the irish dream
Potato's are delicious I approve and support your potato farming Arma dreams 👍
🥔 😆
apperantly you can even be a woman from what I told. Theres a mod for eveything 😄
I dont think anyone has made one
but sure it could be made. Im sure this should be enough of "is this possible" line of questions
wow
only requirement is the skills to make stuff
ideas check
skills no check
ability to learn?
free dlc
ohh
like flying bouncy castle
@tough glacier Yeeting tank in camouflage
co-op is one way to MP
there's also PvP
and it highly depends on the server and the players
How about atlis life?
personally not my type of scene
also unfortunately lot of money scams involved in it
its a nice enough concept but lot of bad stuff is involved with it
as soon as you have to pay for something that is actually free, it's pure trash (majority od life servers)
very common for life servers
also pay to use (cloths, weapons, gear)
pay to ride (cars, helis, ect)
pay to <insert whatever you want here>
pay for admin is also very popular
real money?
yes
very rip off
Life servers always are
"pay me 25,-/months for a reserved slot, a basic kit and some esthetics like a boonie hat"
misims / co-op servers are free. some have a donation button (voluntary)
cant believe people play that
Duh i just put it on night
ANyone know a place I can advertise my milsim?
#communities_arma3 and use the pinned template
@orchid token
been with em for a year and honestly its the most fun ive had in arma
I own a milsim looking to just get players as i build all the missions an d my milsim arleady has everything we need
i bought a ts linces
bought a retired enterpirse server
oh ok ok mb yeah best of luck to you and your group
hosting it in a data center, and all that. Even did the website my slef
We are an entire taskfoce
sorry sorry
Where would I go to recruit for an Arma unit?
i dont know
@half lance #communities_arma3 (follow the pinned template)
how do i start game
have a read at #info_help_tips
it is, if you read it all
also it says link bohemia account and i did
but its still saying link account even when i refresh
Thank you @quiet pine
how do i start game
double clickarma3_x64.exe@tough glacier
you're welcome
i dont have a tutorial button
to double-click?
oh i see now
no links without description, btw. #rules
anyway. launcher's bottom-left: "PLAY" button.
Thanks for the sale, Bohemia. I finally decided to pick up Global Monetization at 50% off
i am getting arma
i finally got all the arma 3 dlc, i feel so powerful
can’t wait to try out contact!! wohoo 
it's my fav story line
Global Monetization
? 🙃
Global Moderation

I actually prefer British spelling, see Code_Optimisation/Mission_Optimisation wiki pages 😄 (and I don't get rid of u so easily, e.g behaviour)
Have you tried the HALO mod @oblique depot
How much space does it take up?
@opaque fog
#looking_for_game to look for a game
#arma3_editor for Editor help
And are you talking about the game halo or the paratrooper jump
@oblique depot
you've already posted your question in #arma3_editor
no need to bump it across the discord
wait for a response
Sorry
@tranquil bay amma hire you as assistant moderator, thou shalt be my hammer's bringer
YES!
so if Lou is using the hammer, that means he's Thor... does that mean that audio is Loki? 🤣
he's low-key 👀
🔥
low-key loki 😄
what a good noob server?
any server you are comfortable with
Could someone of you help me test and improve my operation
then do as suggested at #info_help_tips and play the SP campaigns first. they are vital to learn the game mechanics. you can think about MP later
ok thanks
can someone explain the simple controls of arma 3
#info_help_tips can
and also why does my framerate drop to 30 fps
oh
framerate highly depends on a combination of hardware, mission design, server configuration
blood sacrifices in the name of bohemia tend to help, i find
only if you use goats. human blood sacrifices are CUP exclusive
we also take souls and #350
a solid activity in which to partake, indeed
Well my system is in between high tier and middle tier
doesn't really matter
FPS depends on the MP server, too
if you are 60+FPS in Singleplayer… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Specs:
GTX 1650 super overclocked
Ryzen 3 3200
16gb 2x8 3200mhz ram
sorry, but that's lower end...
For Arma 3? Or in general?
also, #hardware_vs_arma 🙂
nah np for a quick chat, but if the conversation goes lenghty, let's go to the appropriate channel
Low end? What are your specs, that would explain why you say my system is low end
I'm hoping to upgrade my system soon
yo, is anyone willing to help a new player learn?
I wish I can teach but I'm learning myself
that's alright
@left spade
have a read at #info_help_tips
I have a question, what do like the marksman and stuff dlcs do?
Like do I need to buy it to play as a marksman in multiplayer servers?
no, it adds some specific marksman rifles
there are some standard marksman rifles in base game too
If I don't have the dlc can I fly jets and stuff in multiplayer servers?
the ones that came with the base game, yes
depends on which gun and which weapon. Base game has lostf of assets of all types. These DLCs add some more assets of specific types.
heli DLC for example. if you don't own it, you still can ride shotgun but not pilot it
Are planes in vanilla
yes
Or do you need dlc
There are planes in Vanilla
Cause there’s like jets and heli dlc
@tranquil bay Ok, so if I'm in a multiplayer server, and they have a DLC plane/heli/marksman rifle or something, I can't use it? I was playing on a server earlier, and it kept saying DLCwhen I had a ghillie suit on, but it let me use it?
you can't pilot, drive, or gun DLC vehicles. You can use DLC weapons or clothes or vests and such gear, but you will have watermarks on screen. You can ride DLC vehicles as passengers.
dlc dont cost that much on sale except apex and contact
apex and contact add a map, that's why they cost more
its funny apex cost more than the game
isn't there a pack of arma+apex?
yes
but the apex dlc not bundle cost 8 dollars arma cost 7
i want essentils but i cant afford it
dlc looks so cool but i cant afford it
well, base game has a nice campaign
yeah but i want the addons
and lots of user content
liek jets and heli and carts and the other vehicle and weapon adding stuff
I'd say they are not so important IMO. Only important DLCs are Apex and Contact.
yeah but jets looks so cool
Also you can check all DLC and base game weapons and vehicles in the Virtual Garage and Virtual Arsenal
Airplanes are weakest part of arma IMO 😄
yeah but you cant actually use it
like if you look up planes you get only jets and mods
Lots of user-made missions are built to not require DLC content
where do i find server
Don’t forget though you can use mods without DLC including maps
are there mods that are like dlc
yeah lots
Most likely
not remakes, just mods adding some other types of vehicles or weapons
where do you get mods
Steam Workshop, just be smart about what you use.
[_box, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox;
I tried this line for a box to add a ace arsenal but it does nothing in eden editor?????
what mods could you recommend
if its too good to be true (mods from your Fav game), its probably stolen/ripped
CUP / RHS
Could someone point me in the direction of a server?
Depends what you’re looking for
I’m looking for a server where you build bases and such. No zombies. Like a faction server?
Hmm, maybe Exile servers
can you help me in questions
Hm alright I’ll look for exile servers.
anyone got skins they dont what im trying to get arma 3
Skins?
In English please, thanks
not from arma just from steam
Please elaborate
i need steam skins to sell so i can get arma while it is on sale
How much is it on sale for?
7 49
Bruh
and i got 3.79cents im poor bruh
This is not a place to beg
Hold on folks, please read our rules.
Life doin me dirty again.
This is me being polite
To be fair I did get it cheap.
i dont see anything wrong about just asking in rules
I got a key you see.
and my parents dont buy video games for me
Nothing wrong in asking, no. But you'll also find that if you have a question that isn't specifically addressed, you should ask a moderator.
idk what u mean by that
i have 3 times now
i just want some old crappy skins now wants
arma isnt really that important either
i just want to play it
well, get a job and pay for it yourself 🤷♂️
true
i cant football in the way
well then ig you dont want it then

Welcome to the Arma 3 Discord, we're open to everything that isn't illegal / violates the law.
https://twitter.com/Nillers_/status/1304566678928478208 what does nillers mean 👀
Something about sniper school based on what was released to the public. Yes, devs ( community managers) unfortunately troll worse than the trollers.
I don’t know if it’s just me but the camera seems to be shaking a bit lol
coulda sworn it looked like modern day vr
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Some can meme, some can't. Those that can't, shouldn't try, its why I don't!
I can't wait to wake up from a coma in 10 years for Nillers to be at my bedside. I ask him if Arma 4's been released and he just stares at me and grins
Nillers wont be here in that many years, No CM has.
Where do I ask questions about ACE?
Preferably the ACE Discord/Slack
do you have the link for it?
Ace doesn’t have a discord afaik but a quick google search found an ACE slack
That’s all you’re gonna get I’m afraid
😐

i was about to get them but i get my credit card when the sale ends 😦
im new to arma and want to know if u need a mic and is it hard to run
im new to arma and want to know if u need a mic and is it hard to run
@urban sluice depends on the server you play or if its singleplayer
and its not hard to run you just hold shift and W
lol no i mean will a nvidia 970 graphic card run it i think thats whats it is
its downloading
if it runs bad refund it
also im havign trouble with battle eye where games just dont work with it
@pure trellis caps lock. if you have more questions go to #arma3_questions for further help and #info_help_tips for tips about the game
@urban sluice You dont need a mic but its recommended to have one. and you can post your specs in #hardware_vs_arma to get better assistance. arma is more a CPU heavy game than GPU so the 970 should be fine
just finished downloading excited to learn this game
@charred galleon do the tutorials
Are you looking to play with people?
pick one channel:
#looking_for_game to tell others you want to play
#looking_for_unit to tell others you are looking for a group
#communities_arma3 to browse through advertised groups
No idea about any 40k servers though.
@urban sluice i read about your arma problem and it wasnt the cheats you had on your pc
the ban
i once used cheats on PayDay 2 about 2-3 years ago as it was the first game i purchased and was 11, i havent received a ban regading payday because of that so it couldntve been that your old cheat sins came back
1 VAC ban on record | Info

what the 🦆 happened here? new sale = more dudes joined in = more people begging for a game that is already like 7$
to all newcomers:
begging for the game (even in DM) = no no.
^ or for furry pics
lol
you gotta go to the arma community onlyfans for that
you gotta go to the arma community onlyfans for that
@mental juniper that was suppose to be a secret.
Sorry

@pure trellis And checkmark it as desired on the mods page of the launcher. Else nothing happens with it. (and missions are not considered mods, so you may not find it there. That is normal)
that was suppose to be a secret.
Naked Miller DLC when? @static prawn
Canal Spain ????
@crude junco sorry, what?
nope, but there are Spanish communities around afaik
(this server is only English-written though)
Since ARMA 3 turned 7, how bout that ARMA 4 announcement 
h it
Arma 4 announcement:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_4
I kind of dread the announcement tho
Naked Miller DLC when?
How could anyone not want to see that? I mean look at that body!
zOMG
grey ctrg helmets, niicee
is that update already out does anyone know?
@mighty owl Coming soon™️ - Not out yet.
I look fourwards to it :PepeLaugh:
@mighty owl

CTRG would like to know your location-
I always wonder how often Nillers uses my Artwork Supporter to make an official picture 👀
Nillers makes official pictures?
gib some of the project Argo assets
already in-game...
What mod would you prefer to download, pvp? Multiplayer?
There's a lot of thing really need to learn about this game 😫😂😭
you need the mods a server you want to join runs
if you intend to play on servers that run big content mods like CUP or RHS then it might be good idea to download those beforehand
@peak cradle incorrect, there are some Argo assets that only exist in that game. see the crashed space capsule and others
someone spanish? I want to learn about the game and my english isn't too good
:heh: you gotta go to the arma community onlyfans for that
@mental juniper So there is hope for some miller nudes?
or maybe Santiagio if you are into those stuff 😏
@peak cradle incorrect, there are some Argo assets that only exist in that game. see the crashed space capsule and others
@bitter python Indeed, the space capsule would really be nice to have. Don't see why they couldn't add it as well, seeing as they already have the asset.
I kind of dread the announcement tho
@spark flame the thing I dread about the arma 4 announcement is all the peeps that are gonna come in here/other arma related social media and start complaining that the next arma doesnt do x y or z and doesnt cater exactly to their wants and needs like it should
@mental juniper So there is hope for some miller nudes?
@remote badge 👀 you gotta sign up if you want to find out
kinda true tho
NICE
The mods will be on overtime
next sitrep, "so we listened the community and we opened an OnlyFans..."
The mods will be on overtime
@mighty owl Yep same as when the contact teasers/announcement came out iirc
next sitrep, "so we listened the community and we opened an OnlyFans..."
please make it the next April's Fools
next arma just needs to run fine 
and no to the next april fools, the last one I remember became a reality.
I always wonder how often Nillers uses my Artwork Supporter to make an official picture
@placid spoke If I'm the one doing it for the A3 accounts, I use vanilla game (no mods), Splendid Camera, and a lot of patience unless there is a specific reason not to. Most of the time I just ask the team if they could toss me for a solution in those cases. But I won't say I haven't used the Supporter to easily look up animation names quickly for a preview. 😅 But on my personal stuff, I do use it.
please make it the next April's Fools
@quiet pine I actually had a really good idea for April Fools day, but didn't get it ready in time. Next year.
DayZ looks pretty hot on the enfusion engine as well
mmmh we got the perfume now it's time to take us to the bed 😏 , btw im kinda scared for a new arma, since all my friends buyed arma 3 and all those mods... i don't want arma 3 to become obsolete ya know?
not obsolete before some time, don't worry.
I'm sure there'll be a long transition period where people still need to buy it
i mean, i want arma 4 but i don't want arma 4
not as long as contact dlc though. I just want to play on that map but no-one buys it
people still play arma 2 
the campaign was really good tho
Thing to remember about DayZ is that it's a Enfusion/Real Virtuality hybrid. The plan right now is to fully flesh out the Enfusion engine for our future games.
ye. I mean the renderer is enfusion right? And that works stellar
are future games planned? 😮
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wtfrick a games company is making games!??!?!?!
arma 5 with mars dlc confirmed
Take on Mars. 
Take On Arma: Seattle to Mars
Does Take on Mars take place on Armaverse??!?!??!
Enfusion better have volumetric snow capabilities, all i'm saying.
Does Take on Mars take place on Armaverse??!?!??!
no clue afaik!
"wake up kerry csat is invading mars!"
pretty sure all BI games do, right?
Not really
contact is not canon i think
(e.g Carrier Command)
like take on helicopters was linked to arma 3 or smthn
ylands is canon lol
^ There're a lot of games from Bohemia Interactive which don't even connected with Arma things
Arma 3 Contact is in the Armaverse, but is not canon
mmmh we got the perfume now it's time to take us to the bed 😏 , btw im kinda scared for a new arma, since all my friends buyed arma 3 and all those mods... i don't want arma 3 to become obsolete ya know?
@remote badge There's still some people playing Arma 2 7 years (to the day) after arma 3 released so dont worry, arma 3 wont become obsolete any time soon
Contact is AU. 😏
what about TKOM - could you dig about that? 🙂
I'm going to take that as Australian Universe
(and AU is Gold… get it? get it?)
man, i liked arma tactics
oh, so it was you?
Y E S
I'm going to take that as Australian Universe
@mental juniper Not enough deadly wildlife.
man, i liked arma tactics
@remote badge I still havent found my printed edition of arma tactics
@mental juniper Not enough deadly wildlife.
@static prawnthat is true
this
this is pain
i noticed those emojis now
about arma tactics, i remember when one of my soldier got inside a building and he could shoot trough the wall but not get shot
Oh nice looks like the USAF mod team released the public beta version of the AC-130 spooky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt_gZHEHb_0
Suddenly i can't host Arma servers, UPnP or otherwise. Anyone know a quick fix~?
significantly involves the A3TI guys from what I understand, the promos they've posted have been amazing ^^
Yo anyone knows good servers without dlcs?
I LOVE how the game just went on sale after I spent 30 dollars on it
if you have <2 hours refund and rebuy
Starts stopwatch how long this is going to stay. As they are pretty strict regarding spam here.
it angers me to think people actually believe these get anywhere
Will the upcoming Fire Drills also mean a update to the overall system? I actually really enjoy the shoot houses, but it seems it was designed pre-Eden with how it ports objects in.

Bob lived about 21 minutes. But I wasn't there to watch him die.
hey im new to arma. I was wondering if anyone would like to run some games and help show me the ropes? just message me if so!
i would recommend getting mods and going into editor mode with someone and messing around
get rhs modpacks!
@dense otter
have a read here #info_help_tips
@tribal knot the rhs modpacks do i just get them from rhsmods.org?
mods are best downloaded via the steam workshop
@tranquil bay could you help me find which rhs mod is the correct ones to download?
idk which ones i need either tbh
get as many as u want
also, look at the content in each one, whichever one suites you!
@dense otter
tbh, i think you are not ready for mods yet
please play the training and SP missions first
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started#Playing_in_Single_Player
@dense otter define « correct « ones?
ill start off with the singleplayer and see how that goes
thanks for the help guys i really do appreciate it
I’m new t o this game and I have no clue what to do
wich games you played before?
R6 battlefield and a lot of FPS games
Thanks
yo what channel do i go to to find people to play with
@rapid kindle
you can post in #looking_for_game
#communities_arma3 units advertise their servers there
ok thanks man

*fires them railguns at @supple basalt* Ò_Ó
you're in the right place lol
anyone
what's the matter?
are there any antistasi missions for non vanilla maps?
if there are they are likely on the Workshop
i just got arma recently and i’m so confused haha i still don’t know how to find a server and once i do i’m lost... can anyone help ?
have you played the tutorials yet?
multiplayer -> server browser
yeah i have
then launcher serverbrowser is the answer
fair enough haha
i guess i just don’t know what i should join to get a good experience
start with co-op servers
liberation
domination
invade&annex
then you can move on to modded servers, or if you want to play with a group you can look up #communities_arma3
or you can fool around with campaign or scenarios
will do, i’ll try just that ! thank you guys
Does anyone know any good guides for piloting and CAS in general. I’m an okay pilot, but I need some help getting into the more advanced parts of it such as using the laser designator and targeting camera for guided munitions.
I usually recommend Dslyecxi's TTP3
I’ve been watching him a lot, but I’m still not doing very well.
I’m to the point of where I have a notebook by my desk to write down the different keys and combos I need to use in order to do a certain thing
practice practice practice
…I was about to write EXACTLY THAT @thin sable

practice practice practice on my CAAS mission *counterninja*
I’m doing that a lot, it is helping, but I’m still not doing what as well as I want.
I’m having trouble with mostly the advanced systems and tactics.
I don’t know how to use the camera that CAS aircraft have to designate targets and I don’t know how I should come in and attack the target
If you know what to do,
If you know the keys,
If you get the reflexes,
All you can do after that is improve your reaction time / precision by practice and that's it
Check your keys though
have you gone through the showcase/tutorials for jets?
^
I do not have the jets DLC, if I did, I would use the mini campaign a lot. But I am working on the CAS showcase
Yep, the CAS showcase is the stuff
Does the field guide have a page regarding CAS and aircraft in depth?
I’ve checked it out, but mostly skimming it or mainly infantry related things
Quick pilot camera guide:
Ctrl+RMB = open/close camera
Ctrl+T = lock (terrain or object)
That's it
@prime storm #looking_for_game
thanks
Alright.
Another question I have is how would I be able to have my aircraft circle the area or something like that, because I want to focus on the area I’m looking at and not have to deal with the aircraft flying out of the AO
you can't
Dang
well, you can use the Apex's futuristic V22 and have an AI pilot drive on a counter-clockwise loiter waypoint, but if you are the pilot, you pilot, there is no autopilot (except for landing)
Yeah.
I don’t currently have the Apex DLC, but I wanted an aircraft with the abilities of the Blackfish, so I’ve been looking on the Steam workshop all day for a large VTOL transport aircraft
But I definitely will be taking some time to practice my flying and targeting skills
But the last thing regarding that,
Do you know any good ideas or things I could do in the editor that would create an interesting practice scenario
play my mission or place various targets in VR first, then on Stratis, then on Altis + AA and use terrain to get some cover
Ah, okay.
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

Hello
anyone plays arma 2 still??
If I just want to fly helis, planes, and marksman, should I purchase the dlc bundle, or just purchase individually?
I did the math, the DLC bundle is definite worth it
@urban sluice A2 people are found in #end_of_life_arma (as well as A1 and A0 peeps, if any)
@quiet pine thank you sir
@SaintBrighten#3919 you can fly helis/planes and be a sniper in the base game already; the DLCs "only" unlock new vehicles (and at the time, brought new features with them that were integrated in the base game for free)
oooooor not. bye
any one what to play with me i am new to the game
I recommend having a look at the getting started guide if you're new and to look for games have a look at #looking_for_game / #looking_for_unit @urban sluice
do any of yall know premade missions for Drongos Air Support?
im new to arma 3 anyone cool to teach me how to play
Honestly the in game tutorials and showcases do a really good job, the main campaign too.
That and what PI123263 said too 2 messages back.
Yo does anyone here play Exile?
I’m trying to get into it but I want someone to play with lol
What Murix mentioned
Doesn’t change the fact that I want someone to play with
Doesn't change the fact that you should read what he wrote up there.
And while doing so, you should read #rules too.
Hey im thinking to buy this game but i am wondering How the mods work. If someone has a mod, does he need to play with people who also have the same mod or not. How does this work
Depends on the server. If the server says you have to own some MODs, you'll have to install the MODs. If the server doesn't say, you don't need to. But basically, you'll need to get MODs if your friends has a weapon or equipment from an MOD, or maybe a vehicle, or whatever
okay thanks, thee mods are free right ?
Must be free. If you find paid MODs, call an expert and blow them up
Keep it mind that MODs may use modified DLC contents, which are... basically locked for non-owners
Paid mods
Sounds kind of scummy , mods are meant to be a community free access thing right?
As I said yes. paid Arma-ready contents are totally illegal (to be exact, paywalling things made from Bohemia Interactive-made tools are illegal)
Just got myself a screenshot helper
Mods are not community right though. Mods are community privilege.
Screenshot helper? I don't know that
*Artwork Supporter
Yes that
Pretty sure I know the answer, but is there something like TFAR that doesn't use teamspeak?
Discord
uh... anything that's actually like TFAR?
Arma 3 has VoN system
*sigh* well, it's not like I asked because I actually expected there to be such a thing... 🤷
tfar is very special program
I like TFAR a lot but I just don't like teamspeak at all (not that discord is any better, really)
in the sense how it hooks up with the game
and that is not really possible with other platforms as far as I know
and there aint really a lot of developers who are interested in making such
mumble looks like it might be possible (perhaps even easier than with teamspeak), but nobody uses that
Actually, define “TFAR-like”
deep-ish integration with the game with the radio requirements and channels and whatnot?
ideally just TFAR but without teamspeak. I know I'm asking for a unicorn, just wanted to make sure it really doesn't exist before giving up and installing a TS3 server again
🦄 indeed
and that is not really possible with other platforms as far as I know
@sinful basin Yep discord doesnt have the necessary API features that stuff like TFAR or ACRE needs, there's talk about a TFAR/ACRE version for mumble since the mumble peeps are working on adding the necessary APi features
it would however require that everyone in the group use Mumble instead of TS
as I doubt Mumble and TS will talk to each other
there's talk about a TFAR/ACRE version for mumble
OMG that would be so nice...
Yep its either or
OMG that would be so nice...
I've never used mumble so I dunno how good it is
it would however require that everyone in the group use Mumble instead of TS
In my case that wouldn't be a problem. My Arma server, my rules 😄
I've never used mumble so I dunno how good it is
Same, but just knowing it's open source is good
The reason I'm so annoyed by teamspeak is that my server just stopped working because the free license got too old, so I would have had to figure out how to update that and ultimately just decided not to bother and nuked it
So I just woke up almost pulled my leg muscle and throw my phone at a wall for some reason lol 😂
Nice
can i get banned please
Nani?
im bored rn
Just leave
its more fun to get banned
And what happens if you want to join again
a different acc
ban evasion gets that account banned too.
i dont care
I see. So whats wrong then?
im just bored
yeah thats what people say when something is wrong
nothing is wrong
Hey guys, I'm completely new to Arma 3, just got it today! I see in the server browser all the servers apparently have mods and I need to match those, so how do I download those mods? Because they dont seem to be listed anywhere!
do i need arma 3 tanks to drive tanks and so on with jets
@lean dove nope
@lean dove no the base game contains all types of vehicles already
@copper sphinx use the launchers server browser if you want to join modded server
No but like how do ik which mods to download?
the launcher tells you
Alright cool thx ill try
and gives you option to download them
naturally if there are many large mods in use the wait time can be quite long
and all servers do not have mods
so you need to apply filters to the search
if you want to try out multiplayer Id suggest the official servers
and also since you are new you should first play tutorials and singleplayer a bit to understand how Arma plays. As Arma is not quite like any other fps game you may have played
definitely does not play the same as COD or Battlefield
Yeah, I've played insurgency and swat 4 and that's the extent of my realistic shooters, but I'm very interested in milsim
jumping right into MP and mods may not give you the best startup
Yeah true, the campaign doesn't seem very long tbh
the campaign can give a gd feel for arma, but most missions are infantry
it's still fun tho and i like the story
If you have a friend who can tell you Alpha to Omega about Arma 3, multiplayer may not be the worst way to start Arma 3. However, HIGHLY recommend to do singleplayer in vanilla first, is better and better to learn basics
The reason I'm so annoyed by teamspeak is that my server just stopped working because the free license got too old, so I would have had to figure out how to update that and ultimately just decided not to bother and nuked it
@sinful basin erm, it should autoupdate it. At least, i think that's how it was, a couple years ago 🤔 (if the server is running)
dunno, maybe the server just needed to be updated
probably the server was too old to update its license and thus didn't work anymore, but either way, that's not acceptable to me
no clue. The License stuff was on of the things, i never had to take care off, after we had received our "free for all"-License
Id expect to need to do some maintenance if stuff is free
I have a website running on nginx since half a decade ago and never had to lift a finger to keep it working. That's just the minimum I expect these days. I know it's not a normal expectation for non open source software, and that's exactly why I'm mostly just using open source these days.
open source does not make programs any more automatic or better
its just as magical genralization as "Arma needs to be more optimized"
That's not the point. Teamspeak works fine, but they choose to add some artificial limitations that serve no real purpose beyond annoying people. I can't even imagine how dumb people must feel if they actually pay for software and still face those issues. I'd rather deal with buggy open source software where I at least know the bugs are unintentional.
(Also yes, arma does need to be more optimized.)
hey anyone wanna play exile
hi my friend gifted me this arma dlc idk if its any good
what dlc is it
global mobilization cold war germany
yep its okay
what does it add
check on steam it should tell you
anyone play exile here?
Nope
@fringe sundial #looking_for_game
I’m thinking that I’ll hop on a vanilla multiplayer game sometime today
i just use arma 3 editor
for all the newcomers; please read the #rules and #info_help_tips to get started
i have a question what dlc should i get for zeus
I mean you get the Zeus DLC for free
Yeah
what are the best dlcs for editing missions
what i need then
Hard to say depends on the setting you want.
I'd recommend using mods, they are free
You don't need any DLC's to be able to play the game or do whatever you want.
DLC's only add some additional content for you to use (without limiting you from joining servers, except for terrains).
wow that's good
but if you would read #info_help_tips you would know that 😉
If you want additional terrains for zeusing, you could get Apex or Contact an Malden is free
i want to do tank battle
Well Tanks DLC obviously, but still I recommend mods
i found a german soldier mod that's so coool 😄
how do i make trucks follow other trucks
- Google is your friend
- There's #arma3_editor
anyone wann ateach me the basics and play e
with me
pls
and we will hope ine to a call

i don't play much lately
sad
@feral reef you don’t seem like a very friendly or welcoming individual. I recommend you be a little nicer to newer members of the server.
well someone else wanna play
@feral reef is the nicest person i know!
@opal bay what are you playing
arma 3
Yeah but what on it
Who are you again? 🤔 (or the reasony why you mention that?) @stable wren
@opal bay you wanna play Exile? I was just about to hop on
whta is that
Like DayZ if you’ve played that before
If you haven’t then it’s basically a zombie survival thing with a lot of pvp elements
@stable wren @opal bay #looking_for_game, thank you 👀
i know what day day z s
Do you like dayZ?
Better to follow Lou's suggestion 👀
(good choice to ignore a mod 😂 )
ok i have about 5 minutes of training in the editor with cas i think im ready to be a pilot
Ok Tigeri lets go flood the LFG channel with a discussion about DayZ which is an unrelated topic for said channel
🙈
Oh my
And now passive aggressive 😂 Every week at least one.
I have taken my discussion to the proper channel but the gossip continues smh my head
But I guess I can talk here now since it’s no longer about looking for a playmate
Hello, friends!
BI must love their moderators by calling in new recruits with sales like this
💯
Ah, the general chat
How is everyone in this chat?
I shall be chilling in the general_voice if anyone wants to vibe with me
K
Ngl, I really want to hop on a vanilla server and provide some air support. Even though I’m not the best at it
then, just do it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you for the hammer, @tranquil bay ! \o/
🙇♂️
Any ops on tonight?
I might play later
Where rus discord server?
Man they are coming in thick in the last few days.

I've never used mumble so I dunno how good it is
