Can we have a little bird for CAS, happy to fly that otherwise slap me in an INF squad.

CQC is good fun on this map are we able to use our own load outs? Also can I suggest we add this event to the ARMA 3 Calendar in the club?

• A Littlebird can be arranged, however there is enemy armor in the AO and the way home is very long since we are being dropped in the north. My thought process was LB=4 Hellfires max <-> Cobra = 8 Hellfires. Up to you as the pilots.
• You can use your own loadouts, however I encourage players to use the pre selections kits available at the arsenal. As long as you can perform your assigned role it's ok. The only items that are banned are the ENVGs (Thermal NVGs) and the CSAT Viper Helmet, but I think I don't have to say that...
• Event was added by Blizzard earlier, it is also in the global calendar.

I understand your point, however especially with ARMA 3, bad performance might originate from the Server with the amount of server-side scripts and mods that are loaded. As a comparison, you might get ~70 FPS at the start of the mission, however that might drop to ~20 in extreme cases when a lot is going on later down the line - regardless of your system.

*FPS is not a single metric, and should always be reported with context or included with min./max. values.

Nevertheless - it's still hella' fun!

I am looking for more boots on ground!

That's no problem! Because of the arsenal players have the choice of fashion anyway

@=VG= .Blizzard. Is it possible to change the mission to OPFOR? How much work is it for you and how could we help?

@=VG= TEDF has been adding lots of equipment to the RUSKI page of the sheeeet and I thought it would be cool to try them out.

@=VG= .Blizzard. Do you need their usernames?

Currently there are System, TEDF, You and me editing the sheeeeet. If you need their social security number mail address please reach out to them directly. :)

@=VG= Kavelenko Sure, we need more pilots. I got time this weekend.

Alright, I'll put the class names directly in. Those are human readable so even non programmers can understand them

If anyone want to help with filling the sheet please DM me your mail address so I can give you edit rights.

Here is the sheet (anyone with the link can comment): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10PeQRwPffK_RhTsyfT4w4ynwOlL7RAxH6v0hy0ylKKY/edit?usp=sharing

@=VG= .Blizzard. DM me your mail address so I can grant you edit rights

We could start to populate everything with the real life names of the items in the meantime.

Is there a fast way to get class names from items while not in game?

Hello everyone,

(This is mostly targeted @=VG= .Blizzard. but I am sure we all can contribute if it's possible.)

I am wondering if we could change the pre-made kits in the arsenal at main base (Medic, AT, AR and so on). Currently they are all over the place and are missing TFAR Radios and such.

We could start by copying the PR kits and adjusting it a bit for flavor. It would give newcomers the ability to quickly jump into action with everything they need while still having the freedom of the arsenal.

Can we help selecting the items and such or can this only be done server-side? Is there a config file we could collaboratively prepare and upload?

Cheers!

Take Option A

Reasons:

• Ryzen is considered better than 10th Gen i9 for gaming (price/performance ratio, not just raw cinebench scores...)
• The RTX3080 is overpriced by a large margin and currently very hard to acquire because of shortages and the crypto-mining hype
• What do you need 128GB of RAM for? :D Is this a pre build OEM Gaming Rig? If yes then it's dis proportionally oversized.

If you are still unsure we need to know what you are planning to do with the new rig.

To clarify: More RAM =//= More Speed.

Was surprised by the trigger discipline. Don't know if you guys commited a local genoside after I left, but for the first 5 hours, only 1 civi casualty - quite impressive.

We executed our mission with professional accuracy and minimal collateral damages.

...or maybe cuz I wasn't yeeting vikhir's in an A10 that night.

GG everyone!

We fixed it, the solution was what Blizzard said.

Event Time: Tomorrow, 20th of March 2000 GMT (PRT)

Event Server: VETERANS-GAMING | DEV | TS3.VETERANS-GAMING.COM

Sign-Up: Not necessary

Requirements:

• ARMA 3 installed and up to date
• All Steam Workshop Mods here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2115753805 downloaded and installed
• Teamspeak 3
• Discord, if Tech Support is needed
• Snacks, Beverages and a happy face!

Hello everyone,

I am hosting a ARMA 3 Event tomorrow where I want to give anyone interested the opportunity to get on board. ARMA 3 can be off-putting to many players who just don't have the time to figure everything out on their own. On top of that the amount of mods and stuff to set-up can daunting and complicated.

That's why, starting 2000 GMT tomorrow I will be available for the following services:

• 1 on 1 Set Up Support via Discord Share Screen
• In game Communication Tutorial with Radios (mucho importante!)
• Optimization Advice for Performance
• Game Mechanics Tutorial on request (Lazing, Artillery, Tanks, CAS, ...)

Seasoned players are of course welcome as well and can help out, or do their own thing! The more the merrier!

Cheers!

Man this looks like clickbait

The mods are ok in my opinion + maybe this is also a good base set for future custom missions. What the current "RHS+TFAR" set offers for players, is basically what we have in PR on US vs. INS/RUS/MILITA maps. Also, the mods offer far more than is just visible in the arsenal. I recommend to read the RHS manual online. There is some cool stuff hidden in weapon systems.

@=VG= .Blizzard. In the event that you'll ever want to change things up a little bit, " just don't tell my mother I am in Afghan":

Nah, you're good. Never plug monitor stuff into the MoBo when you have a graphics card.

Display Port is a alternative to HDMI. Most if not all modern graphic cards have DP.

I am interested to try this out but find it kinda dull to play arma alone. Anyone willing to team up and find some time in the near future to check it out? HMU

Operation: Harsh Doorstop on Steam (steampowered.com)

It looks just like Squad - judging by the short trailer on the Steam store page. They also wrote free + avoid of micro transactions, which rings off some alarm bells in my head. How will they make money? What constitutes micro transactions? Maybe bot support??

Wargame

At some point four years ago we had a somewhat small but addicted Wargame group. Eventually people got fed up with the AI cheating that the group dissolved like North Korean militia in napalm. 

What ever happens in life, PR COOP is a constant. Players come and go but there will always be regulars.

When in game, alt-tab to the desktop and open Mumble by doubleclick on the respective icon in the lower right corner. In Mumble to go settings and check your selected audio devices, or go through the audio wizard.
