Muttrah Std seems to be broken again. Can't spawn but doesn't run next like last time and it seems as if bots spawn in okay.

Give the bots in Muttrah their flags back at the start of the round!

LAT no longer shoots at inf, targets Helicopters

I definitely disagree with this, even though I mainly fly, playing as Inf and seeing an RPG pointing at you should be scary, it adds to the action. I’m sure in real life they wouldn’t flinch if they saw a full squad of enemies to blow up with an RPG.... I sure wouldn’t

Just let em shoot both, maybe prioritise helicopters if possible?

Harrier will now get shot at same as helicopter

I would love to run infantry squads more. However it often feels we just play the same maps over and over and infantry gets boring, so I mainly do either TRANS because I can just chill out or CAS because it entertains me more. 

I agree that new players aren’t treated as fairly as they could be sometimes and recently there has been more newer players than there has been for a while. But very little of them seem to want to learn the game properly or they repeat the same wrong doing and unfortunately leads to actions that I’m sure no Admin wants to take. It sucks but it’s the reality, a lot of people that come to this game now aren't the same as 5 or more years ago. Back then it was people that wanted that hardcore milsim experience, but now it feels like a bunch of Call Of Duty/Fortnite players jumping into a mod they don’t understand in the slightest : (

Longer AA range with less accuracy is not bad you know? better than 5000% accuracy . this days even if someone laze shilka for you and you are 600 alt you drop the bomb but you get shot down by that shilka while your bomb is on the way. (that's i don't like)  Not sure thought if its accuracy or our assets have less health damage. 

Yeah of course that would be nice but like you said, the Shilka still snipes you from 600alt... And melon never mentioned less accuracy :((( So shilka + Lazer Aim + Extra Range..... no no no no

I like all of that except longer AA range, no thank veri much

Thanks. It's not about that, you guys have been great and I don't mind citicism, it's what helps us improve after all. I appreciate honesty over blind praise. If something is trash then it's good when people point it out.

It's just one of those stupid random moments that comes and goes every now and then. 

Take a break man. You have done a great job so far. Remember: Quality over Quantity!

I thought programming required stupid math skills. I'm taking math 96 right now and it sucks balls. I'm not doing anything that requires math, calculators, or counting fingers. 

Thanks Connor.   

Yeah that is true, but I’m not sure you will get away with doing no maths when it comes to these professions, at least a bit of it will definitely be needed for them. 

I would personally go for programming. Now I don’t know much about any 3 of these options so take what I say by a grain of salt but - I believe programming can most likely introduce a larger variety of things to do, which if you’re not looking to be bored then is probably a good idea and is probably not the hardest thing to do. And depending on what you do in programming you can definitely get something done within 2 years. As for a specific course I can’t recommend one unfortunately. Again I really know nothing so this could all be incorrect and make no sense but yeah, hope it helped!

Really liked that German Map. It looked great atmosphere wise and the messed spawns proved to be a challenge in the end. On the pics our squad covers the advance of some other squad across the street. And if I recall correctly the tank is all the way in the back of the street. 7

That Style of mission is really well suited for coop mode. 8/10 would play again.

wtf this map looks so good! Im sad i missed this man

IRL weapons such as RH packs feature, M-16's, A-4's, AK's, Glocks, Colts, Barrettas... all that.  Same with vehicles -- Humvee's and BMP's, Longbows and Cows and Little Birds....
 (basically, no future-puke shit)

My 2 cents  

THIS!!! I despise the futuristic vanilla Arma 3, I love Arma 2 assets wayyyy more. I would also love a nice desert town, like Fallujah with little bird CAS and a blackhawk for transport. Or a convoy that you need to take through a town with little bird support above. This with all the Dynamic systems X0R mentioned would br so fun!!

It's been an absolute pleasure playing with you since you have joined. I hope you stay for much longer for some more great memories to come! 

I don't think !unflip is a gimmick. I do believe it's a helpful feature that certainly doesn't take away from the realism, if used correctly. Plenty of other games use a similar command, and by other games I mean Arma! I won't budge anymore though.

Just my 2 cents, but unflipping vehicles adds a large 'arcade-y' factor to PR in my opinion. The point of the game is realism and no hand-holding, so part of being a driver is keeping your vehicle upright and actively avoiding getting stuck/flipping. In real life, there's no !unflip command if I turn my Toyota sunny side up either . If you flip a vehicle then tough titties, the vehicle is lost amd squad moves on foot. Project Reality.

 

Just my 2 cents, I'm not a fan of removing 'hazards' from this game since there aren't many to begin with.

Thats a good point. But when bugs occur or a tank flips to a hedge, that isn't so real life, and can be frustrating. Sometimes a vehicle will touch something so small and just yoink upside down, kinda annoying but yeah, not super common. I don't see how having the command at hand is such a pain, but, yano...not my decision to make anyways!

I have BF3 but no DLC, but I have all DLC for BF4, so if you are ever on when I am around I'll hit you up!

The update is currently broken. It seems to be throwing errors and does not update, will hopefully be fixed soon!
Patch now fixed and server is updated!

This was my first Event and it was super fun. The turn out was bigger than I expected too and the maps (only stayed for first 2) were great fun. Thanks guys!

I don't think it's really worth using a flightstick in Squad just yet. The helicopters really aren't that good in their current state, also I don't know how well flightsticks are implemented in Squad right now, they might feel super bad or not work at all  

Seems to be quite a sour tone to some responses for wanting trying something new. If this thread or me has somehow offended you then I apologise but if we just went to the devs for every suggestion then where would the server be now?

This is just a discussion. Nothing more, nothing less.
