Part 2 is up guys.

Did you guys do that mission twice or something? I remember coming into that mission, but I'm seeing a guy with the playermodel I had in these and keep seeing you guys do objectives but I'm not there.

What the fuck is up with the Czech DLC. The first of the 2 new maps is literally 70% the area surrounding the main airport in Chernarus, with slightly darker greener grass - the new content is kinda pretty though.

The other map is the area around Chernogorsk and Zelengorsk with a little bit of a new area down the bottom, so instead of a coastline its a river. I'd have pictures but my net is slow as shit at the moment. Edit: Making pictures now because I have too much free time

Most of the vehicles are reskins except for the new APC and truck. And there are about 4 new weapons. I hope the campaign makes up for it when it comes out on steam. Even then I'll have reservations about buying it.

The new units are reskinned woodland versions of the normal ACR units that come with OA (with new weapons)

When you are buying the DLC you are buying a quality campaign    and textures   . Thats why they give you the units for free.

Anyway how is Rolling Thunder server? I've been interested in it since I like armored combat, but I don't know if it's for me.

the 'event' today was a stress test to get the best server config

this is a video from an earlier event.

recon: 2x lav25s vs 2x bmp2s

that seems like pretty bad balance

Uh, BTR-90 vs LAV-25 and UAZ vs Humvee TOW. And the BMP-2 is so fucking slow, which is okay fighting AI but against players it's liable to get you killed more often than the lackluster armor (~nothing in modern combat) and additional ATGM. Besides, everyone knows both Vanilla and ACE have huge bias towards the M1A1.

if anything the Russians have it bad.

[Cuel]

they're using updated/"modern" T90's IIRC

T-90 and T-90A, in my experience, have about the same armor, same gun + ammo, and same broken ERA. Meanwhile all the benefits of Chobham armor in ACE are exemplified and the ERA is practically ignored.

i dont even know what to think actually because arma vehicles

[Mbbird]

I'd really like to see a T-90MS Tagil in Arma 3. It would be in full service by the time Arma 3 takes place. Ofc they're making up some ugly railgun tank in its place though :((

I don't either but the M1A1 is fucking invincible in Arma for no reason. Again, both ACE and Vanilla. I guess since ACE uses some fudged armor values they just used WinSPMBT as a reference.

[W0w00t]

They're still good enough most of the time IMO. But that's only in the presence of infantry and motorized forces, which is what Arma specializes in, and for that reason I've never really considered going to a PvP tank match in fucking Arma 2: Infantry Simulator. Aside from that I know I couldn't get 9 people I actually already know (or 12 for NATO?) to form a platoon and I couldn't bear playing with people who are probably from 15thMEU, 7Cav, etc.

Although that video was pretty damn cool, I remember watching it a couple month ago.

maybe when lost brothers gets released the merkava 4 will replace the abrams as best arma tank

Oh my god do I WISH. I've tried to get Shtora to work so many fucking times, but it's outdated. Outdated irl and outdated in-game too, but exaggerated moreso in-game it seems. The ONLY ATGM it jams in the entire game is the M47 Dragon. That's it, it'll throw the missile straight into the ground as soon as you guide it towards the T-90A. I believe the AI will pop smoke and can sometimes break Hellfire locks with that, but afaik smoke is buggy with that and irl smoke launchers are discharged automatically. ATGMs (And MANPAD missiles, but that's another story) travel wayyyy too fast in Arma, so it's virtually impossible to use smoke to jam missiles on your own.

In short: It's an ACE feature but it doesn't work. And it'd be half okay if the ERA blocked HEAT projectiles like mad and absorbed a couple sabot rounds but it doesn't. In fact I don't think the ERA works at all, despite it being coded into ACE (SLAT armor works), unless you happen to shoot the frontmost part of the side hull where there's some dinky little appliqué armor.

I finished a crude zone capture mission with some vehicles, kinda like battlefield, could we try it on the server sometime (it works in sp and i spammed enough publicvariable to be atleast somewhat sure that it will work in mp)?

just a couple of things, i haven't tried the actual capturing of zones but they might work from the looks of it

you don't have to group the ace wounds module to group leaders, it applies for every unit on the battlefield, including AI
blufor = "true"; - means that you're assigning the variable a string, not a boolean. notice the difference between

 "true"

and

true

The first one is a string and the second one is a boolean. It probably still works but you're doing string comparison which is considered pretty intensive in ARMA2, just a tip.
and i'm getting script errors, probably from the vehicle respawn script

and you need some more stuff in the init.sqf, look at the template i made

also POST SUGGESTIONS on which islands you'd like to see on the server

I was also looking for myself in there, but realized it was another playthough when you spawned bikes and my car and corpse weren't burning next to the road, over the hill from the first objective.

Remember how one of our vehicles ate an RPG and a bunch of us caught fire
