I have been playing on EU1 for a while now and have experienced both the newer version and the older (revive script) version of I&A and have some suggestions, im partially well known for creating "bravo squad" on the server and we usually have some decent conversation that obviously sometimes involves I&A, this is some of the feedback ive collated over the last month or so:
 
1: Anyone being able to plant C4 on radiotowers/sideobj diminishes the explosive expert role.
 
Suggestion: Make the exp expert the only role able to do this, it will promote squad play as he will need to be protected while he plants etc.
 
Problems: What if no one is an exp expert on the server?
 
Partial solution: give the ability to squad leads as well, if the squad lead cannot delegate to his exp expert he takes on the role himself. The main issue is still there but if there are no squad leads or exp experts on then someone will have to back out and be one of those roles.
 
2: Bring back the old squad manager and not the IPAD thingy.
 
Suggestion: The problem here isnt with the UI, its the lack of control, in the old version you could create a squad and accept deny requests plus allow your members to recruit etc...the new version has 4 squads and any number can join each. This is an issue that I have personally experienced, in that I create "bravo squad" and get my regulars in there, the server see us having a good time and working together and about an hour later I have 25 guys under my command...and the 3 other squads are empty.
 
3: copilot seats....
 
Suggestion: disable it as per a post on: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=11987, now im not an arma dev so no idea if this is feasible in terms of I&A, but If it is I feel this will give some stability and be less frustrating to players as currently I hear "get out of the copilot seat" about 50 times a day and see people dying due to chopper breakage quite a lot also.
 
Problems: pilot gets killed near AO, chopper lands but doesnt explode, sometimes a player would jump in copilot and return it to heli spawn. I dont have a solution to this bar ground pounders blow the chopper but then they need to have explosives of some kind...however currently, blowing the chopper seems to be the done thing anyway.
 
4: Can we get briefing tables/area back
 
Suggestion: Move the heli pads back a little so noise isnt so deafening in the main terminal, and make the side rooms briefing rooms, this will again promote proper squad play and push us away from the current lone wolf syndrome that seems to be taking over.
 
These seems to be the 4 most talked about subjects that as far as I know can be addressed.
 
Thanks for reading.
 
 

Just to clear my name, and also enlighten people on the matter somewhat - You were warned vocally by me, twice. Then through voice chat I alerted other people in the game, atleast 2 other people infact (One of which I knew was on Teamspeak) which obviously led to you being reported. There were open conversations about "somebody spamming smoke in base" for a good 2 minutes, I'm sure it was also mentioned in Side channel text aswell.
 
You literally spammed so many smoke grenades that we couldn't even see the main spawn building, and I dread to think what them pilots must have had to deal with trying to land in the smoke cloud, let alone with an even lower FPS due to your "experiment".
 
I politely asked you to stop, then the second time I told you to and yet you persisted. If you want to do "experiments" to see "where the cut off point of a server is" (although most of us prefer to play the game, not try to break it..) then atleast do it on an empty server - I can tell you right now that AhoyWorld EU #2 was entirely empty at the time of this incident as I had only just recently reconnected to #1 and saw it in the server browser.
 
In the future, if you're going to mention my name in a story you'd better hope you're actually telling the truth - I've got people that will back me up on the above.

Pestering isn't the case. It takes people like you to get things done sometimes. The admins should be complaining at me, i can't expect too much of them because in the end we all loose interest in some things at some point.
i shall state again though, I need potential admins to spend time with the team, lets move forward together

FYI, issue has been raised and we are currently working to improve the situation.

I shall pester you no further.
I meant no offence to any of the current admins as I previously stated and I understand it's difficult to voice opinions on this matter without it being perceived as criticism or it resorting in the 'get more involved' retort. 
Keep up the good work providing the community and I wish you all the best.

Why were you throwing smoke grenades in a manner which could be seen as spamming, at base, in the first place? I do not think anyone needs to be warned if they do not have the common sense that spamming smoke grenades, or normal grenades for that matter, is not a good idea in the first place. And smoke grenades are still bad, whilst they may not teamkill, a lot of them can decrease FPS dramatically for other players, and particularly pilots attempting to land at base.
 
I was reacting on teamspeak to a known player making me aware of what you were doing, the particulars I cannot remember, and after the ban message popped up several people said 'thanks admin', which may not be a useful tool in gauging the right action, however it usually works in the past when a high-profile dissident does something that can be seen as unfavorable on the servers.
 
If you can explain this to me, I may decrease your ban to a temporary one, in my opinion. Other staff members may disagree, and may maintain or commute your ban further.

I can vouch for Skully too, he's fair, patient and keeps his temper regardless of the situation. It'd be very beneficial for everyone to have more admins about, although the current ones do a great job as it is, I feel harsh having to keep pestering them for what I would deem "petty" little things like restarts and player kicks.

Ello all,
I think most of you know me, I'm CJ from the I&A server. Thought it's about time I came on here and said hello after all them hours spent lugging you all around Stratis. See you all on the server soon
