Bruce

Looking around at all the new faces and the new management O7 feels like I've been gone for longer than the three years since my last login, Long story short of all things my headset died (nope not my PC not any major surgery or anything else .. just my beloved headset) it was attached to my TrackIR and the replacement doesn't fit. after playing A3 with a TrackIR for so long it was impossible for me to go back so I did the unthinkable and took a break.. (to be brutally honest at that time I'd hit the wall a bit with IA and wasn't enjoying the mission as much as I could have so it was probably overdue) Was a VERY good headset Anyway .. three years later and here I am .. checking out how the guys are going, what the mission looks like and how the hell I'd even begin to get back into this thing? So, I guess I have a few questions if you don't mind is it a fully modded mission now or can I just jump in mod free? I used to have a few good mods like the Sound overhaul and dyslexcis HuD etc. are they still around or even required now? Can I still fail a landing in the Mohawk and happily murder everyone on board while signing at the top of my voice is Zeus still a thing is performance any better ('member when tanks explosions caused mad server lag? I 'member) I don't have an SLI RTX 2080 TI rig so might need to turn some settings down. What all else is new ? I noted we're looking at IA4 now ?? wow huge steps ... is there a primer on what the major goals for that is ? Anyways ... good to be back (well installed so far .. still need to actually load the game and get the HS working) Laters chaps

<---- Well into my second third chance ... #IAMOLD:(

https://github.com/NouberNou/intercept any use to you awesome guys for reducing overhead etc. ? I'm a total layman when it comes to this, so no idea if mission makers / developers can utilise this toolbox.. but kind of excited that it exists

We demand the ability to do this !

-=Renegade=- There is apparentlymore than one Bruce !! .. I mean Srsly .. who would pick a name like that???!?!

That wuz freakin' amehzin' ! Thanks go to M64, our glorious leader - for making me feel like I was back in the forces (especially for making a recent arrival his "bitch" for 10 minutes ... not going to mention Ducky's name to save his embarrassment ... oops!) Elcour, my fireteam leader - for filling me with morphine after nearly every engagement .. I don't think I could have gone much further without it ! HOK - whose piloting skills became legend "How do I turn this thing on again?" and the rest of the gang for just following orders and being AWESOME ! hope to do it again sometime,

Welcome Komrade ! if you can find a slot, jump onto teamspeak and say hi, also, bandwidth dependant Grab Arma3sync and follow the details to get onto the modded server .. it's quite a high bar to pass, as prevention to hackers and the like, but it's where the real fun happens.

good skills, I don't think over populating the AO with enemies is the best course, maybe even, split the same amount of AI over two separate AO's I'm just thinking out loud, that splitting up the player teams to cycle through smaller more fluid AO's or multiple smaller squad sized side missions. to give the possibility of dedicated team play for small organised squads, the downside though is that the huge fully populated server of p[layers could easily swamp a small AO .. and there's little to mitigate the "unwanted" persons who just want to drive headlong into an AO or those idiots that encourage pilots to just "Land in the town next to that AA tank so I don't have to walk!"

I want T-Rex DLC ! ! !

think it might have been the absinthe chaser to be honest !

noticed this again tonight after Sheep did a restart (Talking to him, he could see the mission as Radar installation, but I could not)

And far too accurate ... even Zeus misses the occassional lightning bolt ! and now I need to watch my back ... damn

saw this on the Ahoy server the other day too, mentioned it to BACONMOP at the time, I can't recall if it was the "first" side mission to spawn after a reset .. it might have been. but there have been a few cases lately where the map marker says "take radar" or something .. but the actual side mission is "secure intel" and the relevant side mission spawns incorrectly. .... with the latest increase in server population side missions just get obliterated so quickly, in fact the AO's drop like flies... I know it's not possible without killing the server to run multiple AO's but would Multiple Side missions with a faster re-spawn or side missions be possible ?

anyone else notice that the enemy CAS is really aggressive these days ? it used make a pass at a target and if it failed (not that it fails these days with it's infinite missiles) it used to rotate onto a new target for next pass... Now it chases you down like a rabid dog !! and the Kajman... wow, talk about laser guided lock-on bullets ... it NEVER misses ! I mean a Decent gunner can lead his target a bit but bloody hell this guy has a fricking laser beam for eyes ! so .. how are you supposed to shake either of them from your tail ? low flying, fast flying, going behind mountains ... nothing loses them or mitigates the risk.. Don't get me wrong I REALLY appreciate a challenge to flying .. otherwise it'd be well boring! ... but these no challenge here, it's just murder.
