Hannibal

That was a good day ;D

This is exactly what got me addicted to frequenting and joining up with the Ahoy World guys! So friendly, and so willing to play together regardless of whether you have been here for 2 years, or 2 days. I've never enjoyed gaming as much as I have the past 2 months! 
 
Welcome aboard!

Hello AW! Figured i'd join the community since i play on the servers so much, and i'd like to get in on more serious action.
This is me.
Here's who i am:
Real name: Kretz (Doc Kretz on FB)
Born in 87
Norwegian
 
Here's what i base my Arma playstyle on:
Serving in the NOR Armed forces since 2008.
Navy boot camp,june 2008. Joint NOR A.F. Medical training center, November 2008. Joint NOR. A.F. Conscript Med.TF. December 2008 FIST-SAN Forward Insertion Medical TF, June 2009 ISTC Spec-ops Medical training fac. Pfullendorf,Germany. April 2010 Sea/Land/Air Joint NOR-AF Forward Med Platoon, June 2010 ISAF RC NORTH May 2011 Sea/Land/Air joint NOR-AF Forward Med Platoon,january 2012 ISTC Spec-Ops Medical Training Fac, Pfullendorf Germany, April 2012 Sea/Land/Air Joint NOR-AF Forward Med Platoon, May 2012 until present day. "Our superiors always underestimate the threat on the ground, just as much as we overestimate their ability to know what the fuck is going on."
 
 Here's my preferred roles in a squad:
Medic - 
I bring years of real life expertise to the table in a tactical situation. You wont see me rush away from your fireteam
to heal one guy in the "killbox" where he got shot in the first place and getting myself killed, leaving your fireteam in the storm. Once you go down, trust that i will handle it and stay down - And if your buddy goes down, wait for your team leader to advise, or for me to take command of the isolated situation with the wounded. Squad Leader - 
I've served with the best and been taught by experts, I've had the honor of their advice and I've proved myself worthy of my rank and position as Runner-Up on my team. I keep it simple, and on target, and i make correct and proper use of each role in the team as they are intended. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Spotter - 
When you need to take out that one guy, I'll be calling the target next to you. If its a shooting gallery, we'll both be burning through rounds. Machinegunner - 
The awesome suppressing firepower at the flank of your fireteam is a beautiful thing and a tactical necessity in nearly all assault ops. I have general knowledge and skill of this role, and its fun! Pointman - 
Putting a medic up front is a waste, but if im without a medkit on me, i can waylay and study the map to find the best probable route to your objective, so that you as the team leader can worry about comms and situational awareness across our force and mission, advising the entire team so that we do not end up yelling "FUBAR". Oh, and as for urban warfare is concerned, i know it looks cool to be the guy with the LMG kicking the door down ripping through a mag or two, but mission success rates higher than rambopoints. Mini grenades will solve all our problems and welcome us into a nice, messy room with only dead bodies. Most important is my respect for command. The team leader is in charge,and you wont get fuzz from me.
Lets go downrange, hoo'ah?

So recently I've been heading into AO's without vehicles and minor amounts of infantry. This is mainly due to UAV's, and the people freely firing with them. I understand its a public server so you don't have to ask for permission to fire, but as infantry its becoming really boring to just fly to an AO without any threat of enemy vehicles. Not sure if anyone else see's this issue and the only solution I can think of is to reduce the UAV's ATGM's to 2 down from 6. I personally like the UAV's and the idea that they have a long respawn time, but they are clearing AO's of all vehicles before some of our guys get there. Just a suggestion to reduce the ATGM's (If possible) or bring back the UAV's with GBU-12's.

If you want a weapon resting mod which you can use on the Ahoy World servers then you could try VTS Weapon Resting. Seems pointless to add keys for a different one when there is already a similar mod enabled, I'm not an admin or core staff though so that's just my opinion

CHOCKS AWAY, LADDY.

That it is, friend-o!

No worries mate. I myself had to duck out early due to work calling me up, after some technical difficulties plagued the game.

Don't worry about it Hannibal, the mission ended up being scrapped anyway, major desync and frame rate issues meant it became unplayable. 
 
Hope your personal issues are nothing to serious and that things get back to normal as soon as possible! Again, you didn't let anybody done.

So they show up? They'll be in when I've sorted out an update this evening. Unless someone beats me to it of course

I think I've misread your OP, if they do show up, then yes.

But on ARMA you get to do it while playing with all your favourite people

Good point Danny, however you are just orbiting hitting tab until you awkwardly get an iffy laser lock. Or just hitting tab and firing at those tanks on the horizon.
 
Transport i enjoy though

Some super cool new stuff has been added to payday 2 today!
 
masks, patterns a new gun and more!!
 
check out the webside here!

we all know there was a big Arma 3 update today, it included the first campaign episode, some new guns and items and a lot of bug fixes.
 
one of those bug fixes is the server crashing when paragliding. Quote: ''Fixed: Crash related to paragliding in MP''
 
So I suggest we try this out this weekend to see if it is actually fixed and if it is fixed we could remove the parachute restrictions from I&A. We can also test the bullet penetration of some vehicles and weapons at the same time.
 
so let me know what you think of this idea

i love them all, lets just put them all in!

That does look like a beaut' there, Dingo. I might just have to follow you on that one too. :]
I can say, I'd be interested to see something as a 'Heavy-lift VTOL' added too, spice things up a little.

To give a definitive answer, yes.
 
As for invisible uniforms, this stems from players selecting uniforms from another faction, at the weekend I can look up all the classnames and get them excluded from listing, thus stopping this.
 
Hope this helps!

Welcome to the community!

Howdy, Hannibal.
Have fun, and hope to see you out there on the frontlines!

I'd legit take some more VTOL over fighter jets. If only because, honestly, there's way more functionality to be had with harriers, F35B, or that crazy quad-rotor cargo plane, than with something that can whiz past all of Altis in 60 seconds.
 
It's the same reason I keep saying lets get away from making Giant Cargo planes, like the Galaxy, and instead, make addons that will be more appropriate for the environment BIS has given us. I mean, honestly; there are people who are lobbying for a C-5 to be made, so they can spend (probably literally) 15 minutes circling to appropriate drop altitude, and then do a HALO jump into the AO-- for a map the size of Washingon D.C.
 
Is it a neat addon? heck yeah, Definitely!
 
Do we have a limited supply of talented Addon Makers, who in-turn have a limited amount of time/attention to spend per project? Unfortunately, yes.

Keeping my eye on the dev of this addon 
if it flys and works like it looks at the moment it will be a must have on acre server when they release it me thinks

Had to go explore, plus an excuse to take the KA-50 out of the box again - horrible by the way even with JSRS on
would be cool if there where little AI running around like doozers building stuff in realtime
 
Currently Stadium under construction, should be ready for the 2025 World Athlethics champs

 
And Ghost resort, nicely landscaped rocks is about all so far
