@ItzLuckman Please provide a recording of what's happening. Otherwise we are tangled in semantics...

@SoldierOfMisfortune You'd need the Gold Version that GOG is distributing. There was a sale a while ago

b2LA isn't too far from the main game. It adds w i d e s c r e e n support which is mint and lots of new toys

So @=VG= TEDF and I started to enjoy some SWAT 4 Back2LA recently (cheers to Solar and Poff!) and while we were punching hostages and pacifying suspects with our numbing scent we got the idea to create a SWAT 4 BackToLA  event!

Since I know only 4 of us who have the game I wanted to gauge interest in an event with 6-10 players. If this post makes your tummy feel warm please do say so and leave a comment below.

Was TFAR added because of troubleshooting purposes? I was really interested in the vanilla VOIP script as it might lower entry barrier (and we don't really max out the possibilities of TFAR/ACRE for that matter).

What if we just get a private server for PR where we will keep all fixed maps and modded maps on website and people will be able to download them and play on the private server.

Fragmentation of a already small community. PR did release official mappacks, but those where scrapped due to servers not running them due to players not downloading them, due to servers not running them, due to players not downloading them, due to servers not running them, due to players[...]

@X0R Three's a crowd. I think it might be helpful to support command with the radio chatter.

FUCK me death 18 minutes you basterd

Edit: I could do the [FAC] part! Is ok @X0R?

Please make this poll public for Prosecution purposes.

Didn't the Iraqi forces send a Hind detachment??? *wink*wink*

We should petition PR devs to rename "Commander" to "Supporter" in COOP. Makes things much clearer

I like the commander role to build Fobs. It's basically a one man locked squad exploit lol.

For orders any squad leader can just organize things. Just keep asking and report (in team chat) if there is no written or audible response.

if its dark I sneak up on an AA or artillery point blank and plant charges

This is very effective. If you suppress your weapons you will have an easy time clearing entire AOs by yourself. Nighttime + RTO + Silenced Sten is easy mode. You can sneak up to enemies and melee them, it's insane.

The only worthwhile grenadier kit out there.

Been following OP room for quite some while. Very consistent videos. Unfortunately this operation isn't really suitable for ARMA, since there are no big controllable vessels in game. You'd have to make them static and script destruction effects. Also there is no infrantry combat if you exclude the AAVP's. I could see this being done in DCS though...

Updated the main post!

Notice: We are not playing on the normal Server, rather on the testing server and password it.

It may be wise to run this Training Event on the Mission Testing Server

Yes! Let's do it on the event server. I'll update the post with the server info on Friday.

I recommend disabling the rank system parameter for this event.

Great idea. @=VG= Sausag3 Do you know if you'll have time?

TIME: 1300 GMT (open end, so earlier than normal)

DATE: Sat, 12th of June 2021

BRIEFING: Training, training training. The new DLC introduced a new mission 'Mike Force' which we have been running the last few weeks. There are new modules and buildings and snakes and trees so we should get together and transfer knowledge in our community.

The situation on the ground will be determined by progress of the mission.

SIGN-UP: I would like to have key roles filled to ensure fluid gameplay. However, additional spots are free for all. There is no limit as to which role anyone can take.

• 1x Helicopter Transport Pilot:
• 2x Helicopter Close Air Support Pilot:
• ACAV Engineer: Life
• Radio Officer (for out of map support):
• Players new to the mission are advised to do Infantry.

The Harrier changes melon made low key fixed this because they hovered less and were alive less lol bring it back!!

That's the solution right there

Thanks for your replies! Personally I don't really like the practice because there is little to no opposition to a hovering harrier, unlike there would for a CAS heli in the same place. 

Bots don't shoot their small arms at jets and neither do BMPs or Tanks with bigger guns.

Like skiddles said, those things are loud and disorienting which doesn't really help the Inf either.

As far as I am aware melon did try to implement bots shooting their AT at Harriers but that doesn't seem to be active anymore or never made the cut.

Since the vote is 50/50 split I assume there is no call for action to be made here.

I wanted to gauge acceptance of players attacking the enemy while in VTOL (hovering) mode and have a discussion. How do you guys feel about that?

(Landing is of course not in question.)

Any ideas as to rearm/repair for the PT boats?

That might be entirely a mission bug. Alternatively you could try to bring an Ammo Truck or Fuel Truck (ask Green Hornets for airlifts) close to the shore and rearm/refuel that way. Since it's a Arma vehicle entity it should work.

Here are two Links I use for reality checks:

No. On a wasd layout this leads to uncomfortable little finger acrobatics. Same with sprint on shift. I put it on x so I can hit it with my thumb. Same for c as my crouching key. Such is life

Same here! Once you go C you can never go back. CTRL is the furthest key away while still being in reach. It doesn't make sense. It's like using 0 on numpad for squad mic... *shudder*

Intel + Nvidia all day. I'll never build with another budget AMD ATI product again.

Jumped the gun on a AMD Ryzen chip last week, after being an Intel kid my entire life.

I am very happy with my purchase. AMD is on a steady course and with the latest generation CPU they are hitting it out of the park. Single Core performance (what gamers need) is stellar and objectively ahead of Intel. I would like to see Intel wake up from their market share induced hibernation and bring innovation back into their portfolio. Competition is good for us.

Could squad 3 get one F/A-118 pls? Pretty pls?
