Hi everybody,
I don't post here much and should try harder, I love Arma and you people are great!
BUT
I want to have an official grumble.  EU2.  It's usually empty.  It's usually dark and it's usually foggy.
This is a massive shame as its a great map.  
Dark AND foggy really is rubbish most of the time anyway on any map, when you can't see the enemy until you are 200 meters away from them and they can see you at 400 meters that is not realistic or anything, its just rubbish.
 
So many times I have needed to get out my thermals just to see the enemy 200 meters away then go back to my weapon and shoot at the fog hoping I might hit something....Terrible.
 
The Tanoa map is totally different from Altis and makes I&A much harder which I really like. 
 
I&A on Altis is often a spectator sport as 60 player steam-roller the AI .  So if you get to the AO late the AO's are pretty much empty.  Tanoa requires co-ordinated squad play and skilled players to succeed.  Using armor is  pretty much useless, so are long range sights and rifles, and guided AT.  That's all good with me.
 
The big problem is the fog and the dark, it just makes I&A on Tanoa way too hard which I think really puts people off from going on it.
 
At the heart of my gripe is the fact that there is never any admins on it that can make it un-dark and un-foggy. 
 
I think the server should be checked regularly for fog and de-fogged. I would also like to see it re-booted every day to make sure that at lets say 7:00 pm UK time its early morning game time.  So that for real life gaming prime time in the UK and Europe it stays light until the wee-small hours of the morning when most people are tucked-up in bed.
 
Hopefully that will bring people back to Tanoa.  At them moment its a total waste of this great new map and also EU2.

Hi folks,

Firstly I have a confession to make.  When I first tried to play Arma III I&A on ahoy EU servers, I tried to fly helicopters....
 
I have a sucession of DISASTERS!  Straight off the bat.....(I think I was very unlucky  mind you).....I got kicked.  It was for my own good...lol
 
My unluck streak went like this:
 
One was when I pulled up and to the right and smacked into another full mowhawk that was right up my arse.  Boom! I killed almost everybody on the server.  I got shot down, I smacked into a hill, another two full chopper wiped out.  I smacked into a full Marshal with a full chopper...How? I dunno......All this happened in the time it takes to get and load up a new chopper 4 times :-O.

Needles to say I got kicked.  My only excuse, it looked easier than it is to fly a chopper and I was a MASSIVE NOOB, and I hadn't figured out the chat by then so I couldn't hear everybody telling me what a knob I was being.

lol

So SORRY for being a deadly teamkilling, chopper smashing NOOB.......
 
Everybody must think I am a PROPER CHARLIE!
 
Honest, I am not a Charlie, I am a fairly intelligent computer gameing nut....honest :-)

400 hours of game time later......

I can fly em alright now! ;-)
 
I do love to fly helicopters and I fly the KA50 Blackshark and the Huey in DCS world in a virtual squadron now and again.
 
www.159thgar.com 
 
I had to take a flight test and EVERYTHING for that....That includes reading the 500 page manual for the KA50 too lol.
 
I also fly RC helicopters, I have a MCPX, and a MCPX-BL, and a Blade 450 3D driven with a DX7 (if that means anything to anybody)
 
I used to fly real gliders too and got to early solo/cross country standard....That was a long time ago now.
 
Back to Arma 3, its pretty much what I have been waiting for for all these years (since PC games were invented), an integrated multiplayer battfield, if only it had the level of simulation that DCS world has with the ground elements Arma 3 has, coupled with the stability and scope of World of Warcraft.  That would be a perfect game.  However as there aren't any groups that could spend One Hundred Million credits on it...It probably won't ever happen.
 
In the I&A servers I love flying the choppers, especially the blackfoot! I also love tank driving and playing AT/AA or Grenadier.
 
So far I have been loving the game, it really is the best game I have ever played, apart from World of Warcraft ;-)
 
If only I could stop my game crashing out all the time.....See my other posting in the Aram3 forum....
 
So to sum up
 
SORRY for being a deadly teamkilling, chopper smashing NOOB.......
 
again
 
I haven't done it since "the kick"....(up the arse).... sorted me out! lol
 
Cheers!  See you people in the game
