[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

@Lost Bullet I really don't think having fixed wing is a bad thing either it is something I always support and it is fun for everyone involved, especially because most Russian planes aren't as easy to use and you need good ground comms to work well. Also if you don't like ak's there is something wrong with you ;). 

 

Also I really appreciate this discuss not become and mess and people just spamming Vodka. 

[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

@Ryko the problem with what you suggest is that if we don't have default maps and never learn the faction or the scope or the vechiles then those game nights and Zeus ops aren't fun cause no one knows what they are doing. It also is good to change it up and the only real way would be with defaults. 

 

Also gongreats on core staff!

What he said^ @Fraggloid

[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

But the Russian don't use guerrilla forces except for their special forces. The idea here is to introduce a completely different type of warfare from another perspective we don't often see. 

 

And for eagle thanks for the thoughts as always but I don't think we could create a bigger cluster F#$*ck. 

[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

Those weapons should just be available as opfor anyways as they make a great addition to a currently small list. They also can be used if people want if they are not as comfortable with the AKs. 

[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

Another thing that I want to point out is that Russian equipment is often not a potent as US stuff. It often serves very well that for MAT and MMG type teams to use a crew served static than a regular single man portable lmg or rpg but instead use a dyshka or KORD and the Kornet. I also think that the LAT should be able to use the rpg in the regular fire team as the single shot things that normal infantry can bring are kinda joke. This is different type of gameplay style that would be fun a rewarding to explore, and I don't see why we don't give this a go on a couple of maps like I said above.

 

 @Copey should I post this in the requests section or can a decision be made from this thread?

[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

Another thing that I noticed last night and contributes to @Karate Pyjamas point is that although a lot of weapons have been added to RHS like the zentico equipment it is missing from our arsenal and it should be there in my opinion. It isn't op or anything of the sort, and it adds the crouch if we do choose to transition to playing more Russian that we will have blufor optics available. Also the T5000 sniper rifle was missing which adds a very good choice for the currently lack luster SDV and SVR options. 

[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

@Amentes I don't think it is a lot to ask and over time all things come with practice I didn't know the US faction at first, and I feel that if we introduce and play the Russian more poeople will not only learn but enjoy being more proficient in a wider range of arma tactics. And just as an example MAT yesterday obviously had to use the rpg 7 and started out not doing so well but by the time the mission ended they were dropping Abrams with tandem HEAT like no ones business.

[Why We Should Have a Map(s) that Defaults to Russian]

So to get straight to the point, I am bored in class and asking myself why don't we have default maps as the Russian. It is a whole other side of gameplay that we simple don't explore or simply give a damn about. Some argue that it is too hard or sometime admins say that people don't take it seriously. To that I have to say pick you balls up off the floor take the challenge and you might have some fun, and for the second point I have to say that if you make it a standard then people will get used to it and calm down. The problems will work themselves out. 

 

I also think now is a great time to do this as RHS has been bringing more and more modern Russian military gear into the game. Some of the weapons can even mount western attachments and optics, and some of the vehicles including the new bomber and Mi-28 and t-90 out class US gear and would be great to use as well. 

 

I would like to suggest that we add Cherno and Taskistan as the two maps that have the Russians on default. They not only make sense setting wise but are also commonly played so testing would be rapid. We also have seen how an alternative style can be very fun and effective on Gorgona so I think this is a logical next step. 

 

The other side to this is that admins change the params based on what they players want all the time so it is not like if people don't want to play the Russians but the US or Brits instead they easily can. Another thing is that it is not in the requests forum, but I really wanted the communities input an opinions and if people like this then I will be more than happy to make a formal request or if a conclusion is made here all the better. 

 

Thanks for listening,

Ben

 

[Operation Gudbrand]

I would like to come but that time for US people is just impossible, sorry. Have fun and please take my name off of the squad lead list. 

[Trench abuse!]

@Vlk while I full heartedly agree with the fact that the use of trenches has come to a point of ridiculousness there also should be the case that on the server we have no other way of making fortifications, which are a key part of any defensive missions and most attacks. We also have advanced logistics on the server so if provided with a vehicle or flag poll that could spawn fortifications would be a great addition. I really do think that the entrenching tool has its place on the server but people should not abuse it so thanks for making a more formal stand.

[Arma3 64- & Optimizing framerate]

I wanted to read up on this so I did and found that BI releases a patch or update about every 10-12 weeks. Since the announcement of 64bit and it going on dev-branch it has been a considerable amount time, and we are getting closer to that 10-12 week timer period. I would predict that something should come in late February or early March. Hope this helps a little-

I highly doubt it but is it possible if it isn't already gone that my mission just being on the server is messing something up?(Invade Utes) @Ryko

[Operation Gudbrand]

Same as @kman, but I already signed up..

[Tank Training-[Training AWE] 2/1/17]

Although not a ton of people have replied saying they will be coming there is usually a solid player base on Wednesdays and I will assume most will want to participate and learn a little. To put it simply this training is on schedule.

[Memory leaks and shiz]

I hate to say it but to me that looks no different than a classic case of a memory leak that spiraled out of control and royally screws you about every 20 mins. It also looks your system is rolling with a pretty low amount of ram, which of course isn't the best (It looked like 4gb but I could be very wrong), so one thing that has helped me as 8 of my 16gb's of ram decided to take a shit on itself a while back is only have open your game and TS. Other programs, especially chrome, really eats memory that arma wants. 

Sorry that this keep happening but it has just become a part of the game. You can also try and set your memory allocator to 'system' which could help.

[Tank Training-[Training AWE] 2/1/17]

Oh sorry forgot. Can someone unban @Minipily for just Wednesday the first? 

 

Also on a side note anyone that feels that they are sufficiently good in a tank and would like to help teach this training session please pm me. 

[Tank Training-[Training AWE] 2/1/17]

I forgot this guide because of its age but it still is very good and well written. We will be covering almost everything said in it in a practical way this Wednesday, and @Minipily if you wanna come and help teach please do!

[Tank Training-[Training AWE] 2/1/17]

The purpose of this training is mostly for the gamenight but will of course apply to tanking in guantlet. The problem I see with hammer is there just usually isn't a proper command structure or component tank commander that can make the right calls. Hopefully this training can address some of these.

[[EU#3] [GAMENIGHT]Operation Desert Storm Phase 1]

@Copey I will more than likely do that. 

[[EU#3] [GAMENIGHT]Operation Desert Storm Phase 1]

Just as an update we have about six full tanks for this op and the way it will work is on the day the company commander will decide how many tanks and or infantry squads he wants. AI also may be coming with to provide a bit of ambiance and support. 

[[EU#3] [GAMENIGHT]Operation Desert Storm Phase 1]

@Ryko you might need to company command this as I don't know if copey is coming yet.

[[EU#3] [GAMENIGHT]Operation Desert Storm Phase 1]

@nathanniles got it.
