Yep

raw belfry
#

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?

velvet cobalt
#

In Eden check the config viewer

raw belfry
#

Thanks for telling me how.

velvet cobalt
#

In fact thinking about it, just hovering over them in Eden should display it under the cursor?

#

Yall know of any Warhammer 40k mods ?

quiet pine
#

Maaaybe on the Steam Workshop

deep topaz
#

I couldn't find any

velvet cobalt
#

There is only war

quiet pine
#

Then most likely none - or illegal

velvet cobalt
#

I think that’s the name of the mod

quiet pine
#

A quick Google search proved you right

#

@deep topaz ^

#

No idea if it’s legit though

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)

placid spoke
#

Defo CPU

peak cradle
#

depends on what you currently have and what your current bottleneck is

urban sluice
#

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

placid spoke
#

You can make your own in Editor

quiet pine
#

Not wanting to advertise, buuut…

rustic gate
#

Ah sorry didn't see that room, thank you

urban sluice
#

Thanks

#

What time next sale

#

Of arma 3 ?

quiet pine

urban sluice

cosmic nebula
#

is there a HQ full version of IFA3 still going to happen or is it dead in the water?

#

@patent frigate

mental juniper
#

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

cosmic nebula
#

@mental juniper cheers

#

shame its taking so long

mental juniper
#

Who knows what the smart peeps are putting together for us in the shady back alleys of discord servers @cosmic nebula heh

#

hi

urban sluice
#

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 :/

peak cradle
#

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.

urban sluice
#

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 :/

velvet cobalt
#

😂 That's normal at first, you have to tinker with the medical settings and find what works for you

wraith crow
#

Is there a place to discuss bans?

valid laurel
#

@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

thin sable
#

@wraith crow not really. if its battleye ban you need to contact them. if its server ban you need to contact server owner

strong briar
#

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

thin sable
#

dunno about big booties but possibly around christmas

strong briar
#

WAIT FR???

thin sable
#

depends how much time I have to finish my mod

#

or get it in release state anyway

strong briar
#

bruh im deadass finna make charlies angels

#

30 highly trained women from across the worlds deadliest SOFs

thin sable
#

The A2 babushka fits into that plan 10/10

strong briar
#

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

thin sable
#

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

urban sluice
#

hi

#

im new to arma and i have a question

#

should i play vinilla arma or modded arma?

thin sable
#

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

urban sluice
#

i really like playing multiplayer coop

#

so is coop better for mods?

thin sable
#

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.

urban sluice
#

no

#

just like a simple ragdoll mod or like a gun mod

#

nothing extreme

thin sable
#

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

urban sluice
#

which servers would you recommend

thin sable
#

I have none to recommend. I usually play with friends

urban sluice
#

oh ok make sense now

thin sable
#

Arma servers are not like your typical shooter games

urban sluice
#

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

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?

static prawn
weary minnow
#

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:

sage kayak
#

Guys I cant enter in survival servers there is a error saying I missing files bla bla bla?

Fox mods aren't. They're all pulled from other games

north hare
#

does anyone know were i can some fire dept vehicles

velvet cobalt
#

🤷‍♂️

tranquil bay
#

i'm not aware of any legal mods that contain EMS vehicles

north hare
#

ok

midnight ferry
#

what mods should i get, v new to the game, idk whats fun, help

dusky valley
#

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.

thin sable
#

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

midnight ferry
#

this game is not easy!

#

but it sure is fun

echo thorn
#

is arma a fun game

#

I wanna know wether or not I should buy it

velvet cobalt
#

If you define fun as challenging but highly rewarding then yes

crisp badger
#

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.

unreal scaffold
#

Yo Im a brand new player to arma (literally downloaded it today). Do you guys know of any communities to join?

mental juniper
#

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

urban sluice
#

does anyone wnna play

fossil ermine
urban sluice
#

oh ok

mental juniper
#

Huh is arma itself not avaible on the BI store anymore?

placid spoke
#

Which Arma?

mental juniper
#

any 👀

placid spoke
#

Hmm... Looks like one needs to buy Contact Collector's Edition if wants to buy

mental juniper
#

awe 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

static prawn
#

@mental juniper Short answer, no. At this time we no longer sell digital keys via the BI store.

mental juniper
#

awe Oki, I assume there isnt any other way to buy the game officially than through steam then @static prawn ?

static prawn
#

Unless you managed to grab a key from somewhere like Humble Bundle during the sale there, no, not that I'm aware.

mental juniper
#

is it worth getting arma?

quiet pine
#

yes. buy it.

placid spoke
#

If you feel it's worth, it's worth. If you don't, don't.blobcloseenjoy

Really depends on the genre you like

feral reef
#

Asking that question in the official Discord?! I don't get it.

sand spear
#

well for that i need to wait but ill miss the 6,99 euro discount

quiet pine
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sand spear
#

well since you guys experienced i just wanna know

placid spoke
#

Experienced guys only have one answer: yes

quiet pine
#

it's worth it, but not for everyone 🙂

sand spear
#

well aight thanks

feral reef
#

If you want to play a COD/BF like game -> Nope.

placid spoke
#

Like if you don't like war, it's not yours!

quiet pine
#

you can try a bit "Project Argo" if it still exists, it shows a bit of gameplay

sand spear
#

i tried it

#

it was a terrible experience

feral reef
#

Then it's probalby not for you ¯_(ツ)_/¯

placid spoke
#

Yes, Argo is actually terrible:D

sand spear
#

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

quiet pine
#

well, Arma 3 is better then 😛

sand spear
#

if i get refund for battlefield 4 i will gladly want you to teach me how to play it brother 🙂

burnt merlin

Is arma3 worth getting?

quiet pine
#

yes.

urban sluice
#

guys can i join ur games without apex dlc

quiet pine

@urban sluice you can join games that do not use the Apex terrain, a.k.a Tanoa

Hi new to arma 3, I'm dad!!

#

anyone got a video explaining the game? i have an hour to spare

tulip nacelle

does anyone play atlis life anymore?

#

Buy Moar Contact DLC, need some Livonia peeps 😦

urban sluice
#

Should I get arma?

midnight oak
#

Yes

urban sluice
#

I heard it takes a long time to learn

#

I head it takes weeks to learn

midnight oak
#

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.

urban sluice
#

and I heard it’s toxic

velvet cobalt
#

That’s a very small minority

urban sluice
#

I’ve been playing a lot of stalker recently and would you say it’s similar to stalker?

thin sable
#

no

tough glacier
#

hello

urban sluice
#

Mhm okkk

thin sable
#

except you point gun at things and shoot

tough glacier
#

im planning on getting arma 3 since its 7 dolalrs

thin sable
#

but Stalker is very different in its gameplay

urban sluice
#

and if I buy arma would I have to play a modded version or vanilla?

velvet cobalt
#

@tough glacier Do it no hesitation

tough glacier
#

are there any nessectices dlc

thin sable
#

you can play it as you like

urban sluice
#

Stalkers a masterpiece tho

velvet cobalt
#

No but Apex and Contact DLC are great

tough glacier
#

i dont ahve much money to spend

dusky valley
#

Modded is NOT neccesary. It's an option.

urban sluice
#

Would you recommend modded or vanilla? (Like rag doll mods and gore mods)

tough glacier
#

No but Apex and Contact DLC are great
@velvet cobalt apex pack or just apex

thin sable
#

there are not really that kind of mods for Arma

dusky valley
#

Apex and Contact DLC add maps, which you can't play missions on on if you don't have it.

urban sluice
#

I’ve seen them tho

thin sable
#

well I would not really say such are needed in any way

velvet cobalt
#

Apex edition includes a lot of DLC

tough glacier
#

they both cost like 7 dollars though

velvet cobalt
#

i would say get it if its the same price

thin sable
#

but also in Arma the single player campaigns are designed to be played without mods

tough glacier
#

nope its way more

thin sable
#

and in multiplayer the server dictates what mods, if any are used

velvet cobalt
#

Start with the base game first, then you can decide what you want to do after

dusky valley
#

Likely there will be another sale in 2 months time, Halloween anybody?

tough glacier
#

there is a sale

#

but yeah i think so

dusky valley
#

Yes, but if you don't want to get them now, you can again later.

tough glacier
#

yes

urban sluice
#

Is arma 3 like insurgency sandstorm?

velvet cobalt
#

No

dusky valley
#

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.

tough glacier
#

is arma like war thunder

#

or similar

thin sable
#

no

tough glacier
#

not even with planes

dusky valley
#

In arma you are a infantry soldier, you can walk, shoot, drive, fly, drone.

velvet cobalt
#

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

thin sable
#

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

velvet cobalt
#

And do what you want

tough glacier
#

is the flight similar

velvet cobalt
#

I wouldn't know I haven't played WT

thin sable
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Flying is only a small part of Arma

velvet cobalt
#

^ Unless you solely fly

thin sable
#

also Arma 3 is in more modern setting

dusky valley
#

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.

thin sable
#

so no, the Jets behave very different from older planes

velvet cobalt
#

Yep, you can do and be whatever you like

thin sable
#

well you said "you are infantry soldier"

#

which is only part of what you can be

velvet cobalt
#

Soldier, pilot, tank crew, civvie, humanitarian worker etc etc the list is endless

dusky valley
#

ok, sorry, was too specific

tough glacier
#

potato farmer?

velvet cobalt
#

Oh and not forgetting evryones favourite, ghillie MMG sniper AT guy

#

Yeah if you want and can script potato farming 😂

thin sable
#

well if you create a mission where you are a potato farmer you can be a potato farmer

tough glacier
#

my irish blood is happy

velvet cobalt
#

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

dusky valley
#

The most common thing you can be, is a dead man ....

tough glacier
#

i will grow potatos as far as the eye can see as that is the irish dream

velvet cobalt
#

Potato's are delicious I approve and support your potato farming Arma dreams 👍

dry marsh

tough glacier
#

#

im not

#

not getting arma

#

WHICH MEANS IM GETTING IT

#

apperantly you can even be a woman from what I told. Theres a mod for eveything 😄

tough glacier
#

even the most ridiculous or inappropriate stuff

#

like flying bouncy castle

thin sable
#

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

tough glacier
#

wow

thin sable
#

only requirement is the skills to make stuff

tough glacier
#

ideas check
skills no check

urban sluice
#

ability to learn?

tough glacier

whats zeus dlc and malden

#

Oh and don't crosspost bud #rules

dusky valley
#

@tough glacier Yeeting tank in camouflage

tulip nacelle
#

so how is the multiplayer in arma 3?

#

no the co-op stuff

tranquil bay
#

co-op is one way to MP

#

there's also PvP

#

and it highly depends on the server and the players

tulip nacelle
#

How about atlis life?

thin sable
#

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

tranquil bay
#

as soon as you have to pay for something that is actually free, it's pure trash (majority od life servers)

tough glacier
#

wait you have to ptp

#

pay to play servers

tranquil bay
#

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>

heady quest
#

pay for admin is also very popular

tough glacier
#

real money?

heady quest
#

yes

tough glacier
#

very rip off

velvet cobalt
#

Life servers always are

tranquil bay

can someone explain the simple controls of arma 3

and also why does my framerate drop to 30 fps

tranquil bay

arma is no high FPS game

#

30-40ish is considered the norm

urban sluice
#

oh

tranquil bay

framerate highly depends on a combination of hardware, mission design, server configuration

#

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?

midnight condor
#

no, it adds some specific marksman rifles
there are some standard marksman rifles in base game too

urban sluice
#

If I don't have the dlc can I fly jets and stuff in multiplayer servers?

tranquil bay
#

the ones that came with the base game, yes

midnight condor
#

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.

tranquil bay
#

heli DLC for example. if you don't own it, you still can ride shotgun but not pilot it

tough glacier
#

Are planes in vanilla

midnight condor
#

yes

tough glacier
#

Or do you need dlc

mental juniper
#

There are planes in Vanilla

tough glacier
#

Cause there’s like jets and heli dlc

urban sluice
#

@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?

midnight condor
#

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.

tough glacier
#

dlc dont cost that much on sale except apex and contact

midnight condor
#

apex and contact add a map, that's why they cost more

tough glacier
#

its funny apex cost more than the game

midnight condor
#

isn't there a pack of arma+apex?

tough glacier
#

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

midnight condor
#

well, base game has a nice campaign

tough glacier
#

yeah but i want the addons

midnight condor
#

and lots of user content

tough glacier
#

liek jets and heli and carts and the other vehicle and weapon adding stuff

midnight condor
#

I'd say they are not so important IMO. Only important DLCs are Apex and Contact.

tough glacier
#

yeah but jets looks so cool

midnight condor
#

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 😄

tough glacier
#

yeah but you cant actually use it

#

like if you look up planes you get only jets and mods

midnight condor
#

Lots of user-made missions are built to not require DLC content

tough glacier
#

where do i find server

velvet cobalt
#

Don’t forget though you can use mods without DLC including maps

tough glacier
#

are there mods that are like dlc

midnight condor
#

yeah lots

velvet cobalt
#

CUP is the most extensive

#

Weapons vehicles gear terrains

tough glacier
#

dlc remakes?

#

or would that be against the rules

velvet cobalt
#

Most likely

midnight condor
#

not remakes, just mods adding some other types of vehicles or weapons

tough glacier
#

where do you get mods

finite relic
#

Steam Workshop, just be smart about what you use.

#

what mods could you recommend

finite relic
#

if its too good to be true (mods from your Fav game), its probably stolen/ripped

#

CUP / RHS

what mods do you recommend

#

please help?

I use CUP and RHS

@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

@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

then you can move on to modded servers, or if you want to play with a group you can look up #communities_arma3

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.

quiet pine

I usually recommend Dslyecxi's TTP3

lethal fox
#

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

thin sable

practice practice practice

quiet pine
#

…I was about to write EXACTLY THAT @thin sable

thin sable
quiet pine
#

practice practice practice on my CAAS mission *counterninja*

lethal fox
#

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

quiet pine
#

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

thin sable
#

have you gone through the showcase/tutorials for jets?

quiet pine
#

^

lethal fox
#

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

quiet pine
#

Yep, the CAS showcase is the stuff

lethal fox
#

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

quiet pine
#

Quick pilot camera guide:
Ctrl+RMB = open/close camera
Ctrl+T = lock (terrain or object)
That's it

#

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

quiet pine
#

you can't

lethal fox
#

Dang

quiet pine
#

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)

lethal fox
#

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

quiet pine
#

play my mission or place various targets in VR first, then on Stratis, then on Altis + AA and use terrain to get some cover

lethal fox
#

Ah, okay.
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

@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

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

placid spoke
#

What Murix mentioned

stable wren
#

Doesn’t change the fact that I want someone to play with

feral reef
#

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

placid spoke
#

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

silver wadi
#

okay thanks, thee mods are free right ?

placid spoke
#

Must be free. If you find paid MODs, call an expert and blow them up

silver wadi
#

okay

#

thanks

placid spoke
#

Keep it mind that MODs may use modified DLC contents, which are... basically locked for non-owners

silent mural
#

Paid mods

#

Sounds kind of scummy , mods are meant to be a community free access thing right?

placid spoke
#

As I said yes. paid Arma-ready contents are totally illegal (to be exact, paywalling things made from Bohemia Interactive-made tools are illegal)

silent mural
#

Just got myself a screenshot helper

thin sable
#

Mods are not community right though. Mods are community privilege.

placid spoke
#

Screenshot helper? I don't know that

silent mural
#

*artwork helper

#

You made it I think

placid spoke
#

*Artwork Supporter

silent mural
#

Yes that

sinful basin
#

Pretty sure I know the answer, but is there something like TFAR that doesn't use teamspeak?

silent mural
#

Discord

sinful basin
#

uh... anything that's actually like TFAR?

placid spoke
#

Arma 3 has VoN system

sinful basin
#

*sigh* well, it's not like I asked because I actually expected there to be such a thing... 🤷

thin sable
#

tfar is very special program

sinful basin
#

I like TFAR a lot but I just don't like teamspeak at all (not that discord is any better, really)

thin sable
#

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

sinful basin
#

mumble looks like it might be possible (perhaps even easier than with teamspeak), but nobody uses that

placid spoke
#

Actually, define “TFAR-like”

thin sable
#

deep-ish integration with the game with the radio requirements and channels and whatnot?

sinful basin
#

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

thin sable
#

🦄 indeed

mental juniper
#

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

thin sable
#

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

sinful basin
#

there's talk about a TFAR/ACRE version for mumble
OMG that would be so nice...

mental juniper
#

Yep its either or

#

OMG that would be so nice...
Shrug I've never used mumble so I dunno how good it is

sinful basin
#

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

fringe sundial
#

So I just woke up almost pulled my leg muscle and throw my phone at a wall for some reason lol 😂

urban sluice

Nice

frail geyser
#

can i get banned please

urban sluice
#

frail geyser
#

urban sluice

Just leave

frail geyser

its more fun to get banned

urban sluice
#

And what happens if you want to join again

frail geyser
#

a different acc

thin sable
#

ban evasion gets that account banned too.

frail geyser
#

i dont care

thin sable
#

I see. So whats wrong then?

frail geyser
#

im just bored

thin sable
#

yeah thats what people say when something is wrong

frail geyser
#

nothing is wrong

lean dove
#

guys i have a doubt

#

do i need arma 3 tanks to drive tanks and so on with jets

copper sphinx
#

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

thin sable
#

@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

copper sphinx
#

No but like how do ik which mods to download?

thin sable
#

the launcher tells you

copper sphinx
#

Alright cool thx ill try

thin sable
#

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

copper sphinx
#

Yeah, I've played insurgency and swat 4 and that's the extent of my realistic shooters, but I'm very interested in milsim

thin sable
#

jumping right into MP and mods may not give you the best startup

copper sphinx
#

Yeah true, the campaign doesn't seem very long tbh

violet parcel
#

the campaign can give a gd feel for arma, but most missions are infantry

#

it's still fun tho and i like the story

placid spoke
#

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

feral reef
#

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)

sinful basin
#

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

feral reef
#

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

thin sable
#

Id expect to need to do some maintenance if stuff is free

sinful basin
#

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.

thin sable
#

open source does not make programs any more automatic or better

#

its just as magical genralization as "Arma needs to be more optimized"

sinful basin
#

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

i have a question what dlc should i get for zeus

willow harness
#

I mean you get the Zeus DLC for free

lethal fox
#

Yeah

urban sluice
#

what are the best dlcs for editing missions

placid spoke
#

Nope

#

You don't need to get DLCs to get best edit experience

urban sluice
#

what i need then

willow harness
#

Hard to say depends on the setting you want.
I'd recommend using mods, they are free

peak cradle
#

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).

urban sluice
#

wow that's good

peak cradle
willow harness
#

If you want additional terrains for zeusing, you could get Apex or Contact an Malden is free

peak cradle
urban sluice
#

i want to do tank battle

willow harness

Well Tanks DLC obviously, but still I recommend mods

urban sluice

stable wren

@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.

opal bay
#

well someone else wanna play

stable wren

@opal bay you wanna play Exile? I was just about to hop on

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

Do you like dayZ?

Better to follow Lou's suggestion 👀

feral reef

(good choice to ignore a mod 😂 )

raw badger

Ok Tigeri lets go flood the LFG channel with a discussion about DayZ which is an unrelated topic for said channel

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!
