Hello guys!
 
With Squad arriving on Steam at 08:00 GMT Tomorrow it’s with pleasure that we announce we already have two Squad servers up  and running.
 
Capitana (US) and Flagship (EU) have been live since the start of the weekend. We will still be playing with the slot amounts but we’re looking over the 60 marker.
 
Feel free to join the teamspeak channels. The In-game ones are muted to force in-game VON usage.
 
Have fun and enjoy the game!

-AhoyWorld Staff

9am my time on a Saturday morning? Hmm...
 
If this could be recorded for posterity though, it'd be quite valuable I'm sure.
 
-R

Hi
My name is Dan aka Decarbonizer
 
Ive been playing ARMA3 for quite sometime, both here on AHOY WORLD and some clan server in Australia
 
Im a young fella of 36years and I love playing on AHOY WORLDs servers because of the type of players that is playing on there
 
 I prefer SIM games over so many others and this community have been so welcoming and Ive even gotten some friends
 
I am hoping to join tonights event
 
Decarbonizer out

You should see about joining EU3 sometime.
 
I command armored vehicles fairly frequently there and am also happy to see others interested in vehicle warfare, particularly those that are experienced in the tactics.

Dear AhoyWorld-iers,
 
I invite you all to attend a community meeting on Teamspeak, commencing 19th of December at 1400UTC.
 
At the meeting I'll be running through some of the recent changes along with a summary of this year at AhoyWorld and explain why we've done what we've done. As this is a generalised meeting, almost a presentation really, I would ask that any questions or concerns you have first raise the attention of the appropriate manager then if you feel it requires my attention send me a private message. I may just answer it at the meeting.

Didn't seem to go your way tonight Toxic, I like the mission so I'm looking forward to when we can play it again!
 
Chuck

Hey folks, I'll be hosting a squad gamenight on the release day, Tuesday 15th. 
 
Ill aim aim to host it at 18:00 gmt on the eu1 squad server.
 
this is assuming the game releases before then. If it is later than I will delay the gamenight!
 
 
cant wait to see you all on the battlefield

Can´t join
tfw you are on a real military exercise and wish to be playing some EU3   

That`s alot of Air support!

Imma makin´ this short on all of yall behalves and such .
 
AHOY WORLD IS BEST WORLD  !
 
 
I R done  

*Crosses fingers and hopes for something other than grenadier for once*
 

I'll be there

If I am around, I could help you with Zeus stuff.

Here's How, this document will be kept up to date
 
 
 
 

Gday all, I made an account to see if  I can help out others with issues when it comes to their servers and hope to receive help when I pull an all nighter to get something tiny to work on my server. I've been playing Arma since about 2012 and have put countless hours into Arma 2 OA and Arma 3. I've recently bought a server and am in the process of setting up an Invade & Annex server. 

Thought I may as well throw in a few things about me. I'm 17 and hail from a small island in the middle of nowhere called Australia and have been into computers most of my life, never thought I'd get into scripting or anything of the sort but I'm enjoying the challenge that comes with it. 
 
So hopefully I can lend a hand if anyone needs it.
 
Feel free to hit me up if you need anything.
 
Steam: Parachut
 
Cheers.

setCustomAimCoef is an Arma function that lets you change how much sway exhibits on aim (Arma wiki); in my testing, 1 is normal, 0.5 is very generous to the player: so perhaps something in the realm of 0.7?
 
Also, since the fatigue system includes a stamina bar in the top right, perhaps we can remove @st_stamina_bar from the repository as redundant?
 
While we're at it, we could remove @st_map_gestures as useless (and perhaps also redundant as I believe ACE 3.4 includes it).
 
-R


In fact, if there is some intention to customize the stamina system for Gauntlet or Valiant, then this is the go-to page:
 
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Stamina

I found last nights exercise really enlightening. I leapt the ranks from usually running around as a grunt to commander of Hammer, Talon, Vortex, A1, A2, B1 & B2.
 
Thanks to Ryko's wise words I think it went ok! And special thanks to Kolev, VLK & ToxicPixel the teamleaders of infinite patience. Here's a quick debrief with the points I found worth keeping in mind for any new CMD player.
 
 
 
We were tasked with clearing a town/oil field. TOPTIP - identify WP in town - but as Ryko said - don't plan too much as the plan will quickly fall apart once we get there.
 
Mission Plan
Move by Humvee convoy to dismount at Hammer's OW position
There's only one Humvee at base - A2 are in it and are waiting to depart, CMD, A1 & B2 pile into the Vortex Blackhawk. I can barely hear A2 over the radio with the heli engines roaring. A2 eventually get the message to move out - maybe they didn't and only left because they saw the black hawk leaving...
 
Talon is tasked with escorting A2's vic up to the A2
 
Hammer had a good overwatch position from the SW. They called in targets and eventually I gave them permission to simply take out any technicals or BTRs on sight. A slight cop-out perhaps but it meant less radio chatter and I could concentrate on the infantry. This principal I applied to Talon - who I sent North to clear up the way for Bravo.
 
We all get to the LZ and move out NE to some hastily dropped waypoints - one of which was in GROUP not SIDE and had to be retyped... TOPTIP make sure you place marks in SIDE - which I knew, and was told about and i had all intention of double checking but in the heat of the moment the odd one still slips by...
 
B1 move west to regroup with a guy who may or may not have been wounded - there were 5 people on three radios all talking at once at one point - so I couldn't figure out what the matter was. The important thing was that they weren't taking fire so could be left alone. 
 
A1 & 2 moved through and cleared their points. 
Bravo caught up and swept the NE.
 
B2 popped up on the map at some point (i should say at this point i was basically playing from the map - switching out to FPV only to change short range radio channel - and then quickly back to the map) thanks to canny squad leaders it was advised that B2 reinforce A1 who had taken a few causalities.
 
Moving into the centre of the AO I overstretched the Alphas. Hammer persuaded me to order them into a new position to provide better OW for the stranded Alpha2. Orders sent! Alphas regroup and before I know it the AO is complete - we won! Quick LZ in GROUP SIDE. All in the chopper, not quite - one wounded walker left. BOOM - lets go
 
In real life I run night clubs, bars, restaurants and events. I regularly have teams of 20-30 people in 4 or 5 departments to look after. The secret to my success in my career is to have good team leaders on the door, in the bar, on the floor, in the restaurant and in the kitchen. Give them a good order of service and let them loose on the night - feed them shots of tequila and Jack Daniels plus the odd line of coke if they drink too much, make sure they have fun and only jump in when they need help.
 
The reason the operation went so well last night was that the squadleads were good and used their initiative to interpret vague movement marks on the maps into tactical advances and tangible results. - Have yourselves a tequila on me!
 
Playing the CMD role is a bit like playing command & conquer but with fuzzier results and less interesting graphics! - Could we add a UAV operator slot to the command group? 
 
The most important thing for EVERYONE to take from this is to keep the radio clear, and understand that if you are on the radio, there may be two other units on another channel passing information up. If there's no reply instantly then something may be happening. I'm going off to read up on radio protocol (i did my Yacht Master ticket and UHF radio exam in my teens so I can send a PANPAN and MAYDAY but there's a lot I need to (re)learn.
 
Thanks again and I would recommend that everyone takes a turn at command - if only to learn what the higher-ups have to deal with!

I think in leadership terms you are as strong as your weakest link. if you have a FTL that can't round up his team then the squad leader in effect has a weaker squad making the platoon weaker. looking at t'other game night i had an excellent team including a couple i didn't really know, the other team leader was on the ball and so was the  squad leader. it was awesome being able to trust the other fire team leader.
 
yeah anyway, fingers crossed for some great results from this event and others in the future

Yeah, we played EU3 today.  Apart from a few hiccups and some harder-to-kill enemies I think everything is largely intact.  Enough that we could at least run an op.  The outcome of the op is more or less immaterial... it's the journey rather than the destination.

Hey
 
so I was bored an decided to create a printable version of some Arma maps. 
This form of a map would be my goal.
 
At the moment im working on a Takistan map. Here is the first version.
 
The scale of the map is 1:8243. (1cm on the map = 8243cm in Arma) For a better understanding 1cm on the map = 82.429m in Arma.
I know that the scale is pretty stupid at the moment, but im Trying to get it to a better scale. (1:100 or so)  
 
If you want you can print it and assemble it, just be aware that it is the first version. So it can have some problems. 
To assemble the map just print out all 32 pages (use a good printer for the best results) and glue them together with some tape on the back.
 
If you experience some problems or if you have some questions just contact me.
 
Feedback and improvement suggestions are welcome and needed
 
And tell me which maps you also want to see in a printable form

I'm happy to help out with the guides and it would be my pleasure to help make and possibly direct a vehicle guide for pilots and tankers.
 
I'm also really experienced in Ace advanced medical if you want some in depth information about it.
 
I'm sure Johnson would love to make one for MAT too.
 
Give me a good ol' poke on TS or add me on Steam: "Minipily" if you wanna talk about it.
 
I'd recommend talking to staff, it might be possible to make a playlist and add it to the Ahoy World YouTube Channel, would help it be seen.

HI, I made an EU #3 Basic tutorial, watch this space as more tutorials, especially leadership / Role specific ones to follow.
 
I will also add, in brief here for new players, log onto Teamspeak, and then join the server, the TFAR Plugin will move you into the EU #3 channel as you load in. If your in game and not in the right channel, in TS go to settings - plugins and then re-load all.
 
Here is a link to the loadouts I use, as exported by the arsenal : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FdtX6r3ANBXEb-2d7AoXKzMGfIwISNCMe1zCTIfrvng/edit?usp=sharing
 
How to Eu#3 Basic -:- https://youtu.be/_2rKh3kVXLw
 
How to Role Select -:- https://youtu.be/6LaAEnJryvs
 
How to Teamplay -:- COMING SOON
 
How to Radio -:- COMING SOON
 
How to Team and Squad Lead -:- COMING SOON

How to Medic -:- COMING SOON
 
How to HAT + MAT -:- In consideration
 
How to MMG -:- In consideration
 
How to Logistics -:- In consideration
 
How to Pilot -:- In consideration
 
How to Vehicle Crew -:- In consideration
 
Other specialist roles?
 
At this moment in time (as well as helping VERY new players) I'm looking for recommendation's on the format, quality and help from anyone and everyone on writing scripts, and recording footage for role specific stuff, especially roles I'm really not proficient in myself (Marksman, MAT, Hammer etc).
 
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
Lone.

Where: EU3
When: Thursday, December 3, 7PM GMT (2PM EST)
What: We've been talking about command training in this thread, and after liaising with TheToxicPixels, Lone, and many others, we've decided on a way that we can run a workshop.
 
We'll run a Gauntlet mission as normal; anyone is free to attend.  Myself and any other experienced Squad / Team Leaders will fill out those roles; anyone who is interested in learning how & why we do what we do is free to listen in on the alternate radio channel (100).  We'll run a simple (hopefully) op, and then debrief after it's done.  For the next op, we'll re-slot and take volunteers on the SL & TL slots, then myself and the other experienced folks will participate in the rifleman slots (or whatever) and observe and assist.  This will be a very learn-by-doing workshop, with people around you who want to help you succeed, rather than a talk it out workshop.  Rinse & repeat for as many times as people are interested and available.
 
I'll be recording during both rounds, and we'll post it for posterity.
 
Add a reply if you're interested in participating, either as a mentor or training participant, and if you're available that night; if it's not a good night for people, we can reschedule.
 
-R
