    EU 1 & 2 jet confusion - suggestion

    in The Ideas Box

    Posted

    David, little inside question:

    Do the AA footmobiles also spawn as Air-defense squads or just in a regular squads which consist of a missile specialist, which could be 50/50 AT/AA.

    Else it would rather be chance of 1:14 for the last guy being a 'Missile Specialist (AA)'.

    I think it's enemies =<7 for the AO to get completed.

    First you are talking about:

     

     before people start aiming titans my way.

     Then:

     

    Yet I still get shot at - and again, I'm certain that it's by team mates, as it happens even when I'm flying over an already-completed objective to give the people waiting on the ground a wave. 

     

     

    Now, couple of things I find strange about this:

    - You seem to be the only person with this problem

    - Danne has claimed that this rarely happens when he is online

    - Why are you flying within locking range over an AO?

    - Are you being shot at by small-arms or AA missiles? Your two statements seem to kinda counter eachother.

    - I have never, ever seen you online on TS3 or Arma (as Buglet atleast)..?

    - If it is happening and you don't get any response, why do you not notify an admin if you know both how to use side channel and Ts3 anyways?

    I agree witg the unlimited missiles part, but the rest I am not too bothered by. Depends who's doing AA.

    Side-suggestion; Now that the friendly 2nd jet spawn gets disabled 7/8 times I was wondering if we can't remove it entirely for a Pawnee or Armes Orca/Hellcat. Remove Pawnee from side mission rewards. And use the % chance of getting a Pawnee for a chance of switching the one chopper that spawns there for a Blackfoot or something.

    If you have to wait 30 minutes with only 3 crashes you must be playing dress-up. Take a vehicle and drive there by yourself if you aren't happy with the service the pilots provide, everyone makes errors, but pilots who have more responsibility than the ordinairy soldier has a much bigger burden and their errors can inflict way more damage.

    (In my opinion this is why admins should babysit pilots more, co-op and teamwork are key in this game and every team member has a goal.

    For example; pilots rely on ground forces to kill the radiotower as soon as possible so they will have less of a threat from CAS. But also infantry wants to be transported.

    Also if people could stop being dicks in and around the chopper, not play music, quit the side cmd and global VON shit and fucking tell me where (EXACTLY) they wanna go and maybe say two very simple words afterwards;"Thank you.".

    However, as I haven't seen you much in-game and I assume it's because of timezones I cannot accuse.. nor exempt you for not following these easy 'steps'.

    Also if you ever encounter a problem with a pilot (Know from experienced). Wether he is inexperienced or just a total d*ckweed, try and hop on Ts3 to find an admin that is willing to help you settle the situation, there your voice is probably mu h louder heard than here.

    Have a good flight ;),

    I don't see a lot of merits of changing the helicopter other than satisfying a few people or being able to do duo insertions etc.

    I don't see a lot of downsides either so I can't see why it cannot be added, I could also say stuff about change is good and the defenition of insanity :P.
    I just want to see 2 Hummingbirds and what you can do with them, because if there aren't that many downsides (in my opinion) why wouldn't you add them for just the small amount of people. "Every small bit (of satisfaction :)) helps."

    I've reported both of them...

    I called BACONMOP for Tomahawk because no other admin would help me then and I called either danne or Zissou, cant remember who was actually in *admin* yesterday for the other person. Check the logs and you'll see.

     

    Let's stay on topic now :P

    Who have you seen do these things? These are all against the following rules; excessive lobby idling, pilots not flying, ramming and destruction of helis. Those kinds of players are not what we want on our servers and placating them is beside the point.

    Well the first reason was the reason why Tomahawk got banned and the second offender was punished yesterday by either you or danne.

    Sorry about not being able to quote and do other fancy stuff with the post.

    I said (l. 1) that I wasn't sure of you were specifically talking about me, you tell me you weren't but that still doesn't take away half the argument as they would suit more players who've ac

    (Pressed reply button on misstake, will fix this afternoon when I get to a PC, damn touchscreens)

    ..actively played and have taken their time to register om the forums. I've seen players stash the Hummingbird on an island and wait for a pilot to DC there or people sitting lobby for 20 min. and then afk'ing next to the Hummingbird spawn. And thrn still being there when I get shot down on my 3rd run to AO sincw they've been on. Putting on a backpack which makes getting into the chopper before the afk'er does even harder as you open that backpack quite a lot and when you still manage to take it whist they shout in direct or squad channel that they've been waiting longest, they will lift off the orca an do what half the servers pilots do with it. Crash it into something (broken) in base. This time the "something" not being broken, but the person that got the MH9's loaded chopper.

    With the "you can just take one" you can fix this problem. Because some people dont even want to fly the Ghost or AA

    About the getting rid of the hummingbird, I just thought you had some strong arguments so people might look towards getting rid of them.

    I'm okay with one hummingbird, but I think two would be better, why not at least trail it and see how it goes?

    I dont know if you are specifically talking about me. But I'll just sum up some counterarguments anyways against your half-personal / half-anti-topic offensive.

    - Today I've been online for about 7 hours from 14:50 till 23:00 (GMT+1) and when I checked my statistics about and hour ago I had only died 10 times.

    ##Now 7 hours wasn't the time I was actively flying so I'll compensate that to let's say five. Then it still means I only died once every half hour.

    In half an hour you can have a lot of oppertunities to crash OR GET AA'd ( I am aware that exposing yourself to AA is your own fault, but sometimes high risk - high reward, pays off very well and I'm willing to take a chance).

    AA is almost always a certain death for me because I just C4 myself and the chopper so I can get back to transporting more quickly. I've seen people flying mohawks etc. crash a lot more.

    - "My hummingbird" I used to say that a lot when I was trying to understand how she worked and spend whole sundays just failing at getting her to work they way I wanted. Failing is a great way to learn, I have to admit this might've caused me to get a reckless reputation, but in my opinion, in the end it was all worth. Especially if you've been using it for so long feels like walking on heels.

    -This will also be less of a problem with multiple MH9s, because you can just take one and most of the time there will be plenty.

    -It's still a video game ment to bring people happiness rather than stress etc. Flying the Hummingbird usually gives me a good mood especially if you get some compliments like "Nice flying" or "Awesome, I should've brought my fishing rod". When I'm not in a good mood I put on some rock or house and start taking risks which get my adrenaline going. I have some pretty deep shit when it comes to this. My parents have just divorced around a month ago and stuff likes that gets me through a bad day. Please don't remove it.

    I hope this was enough to prove my point.

    With regards,

    I always pick and LZ myself prefferably behind hill or forest cover. If it is a really exposed area I sometimes droo people off behind the actual LZ I wanna go next so they can provide some overwatch and so they can try to get rid of hard targets with an angle on my approach or the LZ itself. Problem is the Missile Specialist (AA). Since that the AI got even better (improved) I've seen them sitting on my LZ, thats why I never use the same LZ more than 2-3 times.

    Somewhat more dynamic weather

    I have no clue on how to realise the things I will be saying in my suggestion as I do not know a single thing about the coding that goes around ARMA 3 servers. If anything seems wrong, please inform me and I will try to edit my suggestion. Reasonable sub-suggestions left in the comments of this one will also be added to the main post.

     

    Dynamic Weather

    I would like to see that on randomly chosen days you have other types of weather than the all around sunny weather we seem to be dealing with all the time.

     

    I already know that this is possible using the Zeus interface and I was wondering if it could also be done using some kind of server-ran script which picked a random number per day or etc. and basing on that turned on a diffrent type of weather.

    You might want to add like a chance per in-game minute or something to actually pick another number so that the system is even more dynamic and the weather does not always change on the same time.

     

    Thanks for reading and please leave a reply which includes your opinion on this.
