ARMA Series (I, II, III) - v. Waiting For 3DEN Edition - Games

Hey guys, I'm back! I'm done with pub crawling in Liverpool, looks like I missed some good stuff last week. I missed Arma3.

Back to the fields with you, cretin.

Does anybody have a full recording of the mission?

I do, however there's not much worth showing apart from Cloak slowly being driven to madness with the Total lack of communication over long-range.

I have a feeling that having myself make/direct a mission for you guys is in order. Only downside is that it'll either end in tears and PTSD or I'll have to drop tanks on you for a challenge.

Enemy Tanks are fine, as long as we have some actual cover and weapons to fight them. Would like to see more use of the AT Riflegrenade and maybe those AT Grenades that mallow did. Would be cool to see them being used in scenarios where you have to fight Tanks in a city like in Zargabad.

A single concealed T-72 and a BMP-3 disabled the whole vehicle column which was being used by the players due to how good of a kill zone the meadow we were using was. Now, you might think "But Croguy nobody can anticipate tank shells from that distance!" and you might be right, but it was countered by two CDF-manned T-80s and one hell of an AT+sniper recon team. Ultimately the BMP-3 proved to be a real good area denial tool so it really boiled down to a whole squad getting mowed down and RHS/LOP acting fucky at the time which caused permanent damage to the rest of the mission. But good tactics remove any threat, even that of hidden armor overlooking open space. Compare this scenario with an urban combat operation featuring tanks. I've been in ops where WaPa tanks in constant city battles dropped like flies basically every time they showed up, be it either because of paper armor, stupid AI(whose habit of scuttling tanks at random is really showing in RHS), or the inability to actually target the players due to their constant movement.

who's around tonight for part 2 of pump and fuck stealth action mission theme: electrical storm means that everyone has to get inside periodically to not get fucking frazzled by lightning, surviving by retrieving ammo from dumps, helicopter crew gear as before will be at about 7:30pm GMT if we do it because i've got to look at a house

The main problem is that you don't have the time to properly recon every position out before your troops move in. Sure, you can try, but I don't think the Infantry is really fond of having to wait 20 minutes every time until the Recon team has gotten into position and made sure things look safe. And well, we don't have RHS Wibbly Wobbly Spinny Tanks anymore, so AI tanks would fare a lot better in urban environments.

An officer halting the convoy to scan the horizon does the trick just fine in most situations where you only need to signal people to get into battle stations and prepare for a fight. Oh yeah, speaking of CUP tanks, is the AI actually willing to shoot at the players/infantry? My experience with RHS constituted of tanks which would fire at enemy armor almost exclusively, and would often drive head first into the enemy. Never really figured out why their behavior with those is that stupid.

There's a config work around, but it requires a bit of messing around and you'd have to know about it to implement it.

[QUOTE=Cuel;49454159]someone would have to host, server is updated but having some issues with the repo[/QUOTE] that's a lot of effort, will just wait for the server to be back together

does kauks server still wörk?

[QUOTE=SuicideZ;49454627]does kauks server still wörk?[/QUOTE] Maybe. But I'm too lazy to find out.

also if people want to save some time downloading, get this [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz-fdGGxhJTvYnVjQ1ZrRU1HZjg/view?usp=sharing[/url] and extract it to your arma3 folder and rename it to @FP_CUP_Terrains a3s should handle the rest

*several years later* Still processing video quality and shit, but it's here: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0rCHnPp6mM[/media]

As I am seeing this. We have around 5 people recording. We might want to put those people in different squads. Last mission 3 were in Bravo and two in Alpha. Not that much was going on, but just saying.

11 out of 9 Vanilla operations. [img]https://my.mixtape.moe/tcdzdn.png[/img]

I'm gonna play in the squad that I feel like playing with. Unless other slots are already taken

i'd join a squad to make it less shittery

We need to do more vanilla ops. We had lots of fun just dicking around as AAF this afternoon.

We should do more Defense ops too.

Can't wait for Sunday. I'll actually be allowed to finish downloading all that shit.

So if the repo is fixed tomorrow, I'm thinking another comfy mission on Stratis or Altis.
