kman reacted to GhostDragon in Whats your setup like?
I have a ultrawide monitor and yes the horizontal fov is a lot wider, If you look at some of the youtube streams on the ahoyworld channel from me they are all ultra-wide content and should provide a idea of the differences between 21:9 and 16:9

kman reacted to MidnightRunner in Friday Night WW2 Hype
Everyone will need Acre if that's what you are asking. My point was that only a select few roles have radios so won't have to worry about how they work and since diret speech will be the same key as TFAR it won't have much of an impact on their gameplay.

Funny enough, TFAR just got updated, althou changelog seems mostly cosmetic.
Are you sure people w/o ACRE will be able to speak to others in local chat?
I don't know ACRE but TFAR replaces vanila arma local chat as well.

The Tale of Bravo as told by team leader ansin11
A comedy in five acts
During the final hours of the CHADS' deployment to Hell, the legendary Bravo team was comprised of five experienced operators: @Assault, @Miksi, @Schubz, @Toasted_Bread_Slice and @ansin11.
The story begins after Bravo, shining in a last moment of undimmed glory, leads the CHADS convoy to the first staging point (after the previous lead vehicle, manned by Alpha, stayed back to heroically face the enemy).
Act 1: Bravo attempts to complete the first objective
The first objective assigned to Bravo is simple: Get to a road just north of Sunray's location and provide security for the rendezvous with him. Bravo dismounts 200 meters away and moves in on foot.
Cresting a hill not ten meters from the road, team leader ansin11 makes a mistake that triggers a series of unfortunate events: He spots one or two Russians walking down the road towards him and his team, but he fails to obtain more information on the enemy force as he hastily retreats behind the hill in an attempt to hide. But in vain - as Bravo realizes far too late, the enemy has seen them and moves in to engage. Only Miksi survives.
Act 2: Bravo attempts to reach the first waypoint
Four members of Bravo are reinserted by Vortex. The LZ at the Staging Point is lukewarm (Toast dies), but the survivors manage to disengage and link up with Miksi at their GAZ-233014 MRAP. New orders come in: Bravo is to secure the first waypoint on the bumpy road to extraction, ahead of the main convoy. Sadly, Bravo never achieves this. Seconds after regrouping with freshly reinserted Toast, Bravo's MRAP loses both rear wheels to enemy fire. Toast loses connection.
Act 3: Bravo attempts to get airlifted
The Bravo team abandones the immobile vehicle and retreats to the tiny settlement of Kangas. Platoon commander @kman dispatches Vortex to airlift the team, but the MH-6M comes under fire and has to land hastily. The main rotor collides with a compound wall and is lost. Fortunately, after the crew has conducted emergency repairs (twice), the Little Bird is able to take off with Bravo on board.
But the joy of flight is short-lived, as the aircraft's engine and rear rotor are taken out by autocannon fire three swift kilometers later. Pilot @Norris expertly carries out an emergency landing in a field northeast of Troihari, but the moment of relief is brief (somewhere in the region of around five seconds), as two Russian MRAPs are on the road just 200 meters to the northwest. When PC arrives on the scene just seconds later, Vortex are the only survivors.
Act 4: Bravo attempts to reinsert
Back at the safehouse, Bravo is temporarily reunited with Toast, but he soon takes off on a bicycle. The rest of the team is joined by Charlie member @FrOzT, and after acquiring another GAZ they embark on the long journey towards extraction.
In a completely unprecedented display of tactical driving skill, Assault safely navigates the MRAP through what is referred to by professionals as a non-permissive environment, masterfully breaching a roadblock (as seen in Attachment 1) and taking several patrols head-on. The enemy, unable to counter this remarkable feat, is forced to resort to shooting Bravo in the back with an AA turret (as seen in Attachment 2). Only ansin11 survives.
Act 5: Bravo attempts to exfiltrate
At the safehouse again, Toast rejoins the returning three Bravo members, and together with Frozt, they begin their second attempt to reach the extraction point. Meanwhile, retaining only a fraction of the normal amount of blood in his body, ansin11 demonstrates basic SERE capabilities and narrowly evades being captured or killed by enemy forces.
After a while (and one hell of a ride), the others manage to pick up the team leader and the MRAP heads towards the extraction point - which is, unbeknownst to the six heroes, occupied by friendly forces.
Just as Bravo prepares to engage the units at the extraction point, the mission ends.
And thus, thanks to Bravo's essential contribution to the operation, the other CHADS elements were able to successfully complete the mission - and they lived happily ever after.

Situation
Following the Russian airbourne incursion and assault on the Farm, the Combat Hounds withdrew to their safehouse, a petrol station disused after an FLF attack. From here they seek to regroup and plan their next move. Obviously the CHADS are not equipped to fight a full on ground war so it is time to leave. However, getting out of the area may prove to be tricky. We have maybe had one stroke of luck. The Finnish government minister Codename Sunray was in the area when the Russians landed, he too has retreated to a safe position. Finnish authorities have agreed to extract the remaining Combat Hounds from the area but only if the Combats Hounds deliver Sunray to the extraction site safely.

kman reacted to MidnightRunner in Friday Night WW2 Hype
As the title suggests, we have been working on a WW2 campaign which will begin on the 11th of September.
This campaign will involve two story lines from two different Zeus's.
@SiegeSix and myself will be alternating Fridays and story lines.
The first story line, my missions, will follow an airbourne division from their D-Day drop into France.
The second story line, Siege's missions, starting on the 18th, will follow an Infantry division from landing at the beaches of Normandy.
The plan is to run these campaigns for approx 8-10 weeks.
Modset:
Arma 3 Preset IFA Ahoy.html
Points to note:
We will be alternating week to week between airbourne and infantry units Based on the recent pole carried out the modset uses Acre instead of TFAR, however for the standard rifleman this will have no impact as you will not have a radio anyway Modset is a little larger than normal but the mods required to make this work add a lot of assets and more than a few maps, we have tried to limit it as much as we can
As usual if you have any questions or comment please let me know.

kman reacted to Minipily in PMC Ops Hell Week 6 28/08/2020 @ 17:30 UTC
Honestly, I wouldn't start your message by saying *Your callsign - to ....*
In the heat of battle, if someone just hears command first on the radio, they might assume its someone calling for command. First call the elements that you are trying to call, then say who you are. That way it will immediately get their attention. I feel that's a better way to do it generally.
So rather than "Command to all elements" just say "All elements, this is command" or start off with a respective unit name.
Shit happens on comms and its something we're all constantly learning and getting better with, at least the op was for the most part a success.

Situation
After multiple instances of trespass in their airspace Finnish authorities have shot down an unidentified and unresponsive aircraft which has crashed south of our position. In order to discover the source of this jet the Finnish authorities have requested we attempt to recover a flight recorder or something similar which will give insight into the source of this aircraft. Early reports suggest it was a jet from the Mig family. ISR is reporting an increased level of activity around the crash site, suggesting that the FLF are looking for the same thing, possibly to cover up the information we are trying to recover.

kman got a reaction from Schubz in PMC Ops Hell Week 6 28/08/2020 @ 17:30 UTC
PMC Hell, my role: PLT
Zeus: @MidnightRunner
ISR: @SiegeSix
A @Ryko, B @Miksi, C @Jochem
VRT: @Gambit, @Norris
Thanks for this mission Midnight, it was rly fun even if tough for me.
With the benefit of hindsight, it might have been easier to stay in base as PLT because of hectic comms, but still glad I got to be in field.
Alternatively a FAC could have been helpful, since A, B, C, 2xVortex and ISR on top, make for a LOT of traffic.
Any feedback on my mess and what to improve will be appreciated.
Also an afterthough:
I believe it was Jochem, who mentioned that he didnt hear the info about objective location being discovered by ISR, since he can miss (filter out) any comms not mentioning his callsign.
It is true, that several times during this mission, I have opened comms with:
"Command to all elements...<message>"
I used this for objective being discovered by ISR (to redirect all teams to it) and also to call retreat and inform teams about fallback position (or lack of thereoff, once I believed Secondary was overrun).
I do not know, if this is acceptable radio form, or if it is better to use: "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...<message>" to make callsigns notice better
Maybe Norris would have input to that.
PS: The whole miscommunication with Secondary Extraction being overrun kinda made the mission frustrating and even more fun at the same time, only Arma can give you moments like that.

kman got a reaction from Schubz in [POSTPONED] War for Altis - Act 3 Mission 8 Modded Zeus Ops 19.07.20 @ 16:30 UTC
@JANXOL as we discussed before, I would like to suggest moving the Sunday mission start to 17:30 UCT, unless that is sheduling problem for you.
On Fridays, we are consistently getting more people for the PMC mission than on Sunday for War or Altis, despite that due to scope we would benefit from more people in this larger ops. People tend to be home Sun evenings, but 16:30 UCT might be too soon for some, also the USA/Canadian people are more likely to be done with lunch at the later hour if they are free.

Situation
Finland has suffered a number of seemingly "home grown" terror attacks in recent months. There is also an increasing amount of nationalist sentiment in the area stemming from a group known as the Suomen vapautusrintama or Finnish Liberation Front (FLF). They have been preaching the standard anti EU/anti immigrant rhetoric which has seen them gain followers who share their ideals.
They FLF have used this momentum to stage anti government protests, many of which turned violent. It is believed that an extremist militant group is either pulling the strings or has infiltrated the FLF.
The Finnish government are hesitant to deploy their armed forces within their own territory, as this could be seen as an escalation in a time when reconciliation is needed. As such they have contracted the Combat Hounds a less overt force to help in both proving security and investigating the militant activity related to the FLF. We have been granted the rights to carry weapons and to fly our unmarked aircraft within Finnish territory but the Finnish government has stopped short of allowing the Combat Hounds to execute CAS missions in domestic soil.

kman got a reaction from Maulkin in AO spawns are too close
Hard to change this to everyone's satisfaction, AOs spawning close has pros and cons.
What I would like to see (if technicaly possible @Stanhope ?), is to create delay between red circle of new AO appearing on the map, and enemy units spawning there.
This would give pilots - and also drivers -- time to react to situation where AO is about to spawn under their very asses.
The delay should not be long - maybe like 30-45 seconds between circle appearing and units spawning - so it cannot be exploited by players for easy kills.

Expected mission length: 120+ min (might be over or under)
Act 3 - Weather the storm
Part 4
Despite insurgent pressure and artillery bombardment, the Altian forces did not retreat from the territory they have secured. The firebases were eliminated and insurgents forced back. It seems that this move allowed to secure the area, as no further pushes were made by the insurgents. It is clear that they were hoping to force the Altian retreat by putting pressure on the Altian forces. It is now clear that Altians have intent of moving and the insurgents lack the strength to retake the territory in an open battle. It also appears that Templar is either unwilling or unable to commit his force at this time.
However, despite these successes, the Altians must now limit their actions against the insurgency and focus on the threat in the south. With general Vsevolod Mikhailovich Izhutin, known as "Chessmaster" in command of the Russian force and fresh troops that arrived from Malden and mainland, it is only a matter of time before...
BREAK! BREAK! The Russians have just begun their offensive. Things look bad. Everything is on fire.

Zeus: @JANXOL

Vortex: @Xwatt, @Mouldy
That was suprisingly smooth. I was worried that sending Bravo alone searching for MANPADS - unable to be assisted until they found them - could end badly, but Johnson held it together, at least until they ran into that Katusha-Technical from hell.
Alpha also did excellent, coordinating with Vortex for very effective assault on the eastern command post and later utilizing the same Katusha for pummeling enemy FOB.
Moving Alpha west by Air, to quickly re-deploy against FOB was risky, but luckily worked. We skipped guerillas in the forest, that Janxol no doubt lovingly placed to ambush us.
Vortex juggled CAS/reinserts well. I guess you owe The Hind an apology Xwatt, it kicked ass.
PS: I didn't realized until the mission was on the way, how small the AO actually is, so initial LZ was danger close to enemy positions, which Vortex fortunately called out.
PPS: @Geb I noticed you had some problems seeing bleeding wounds on Icze when we were saving him. Are you using Medical menu when looking on patients?
It can be hard to see the wounds, if you use only the radial ACE interaction.

Vortex: @Xwatt, @Mouldy
That was suprisingly smooth. I was worried that sending Bravo alone searching for MANPADS - unable to be assisted until they found them - could end badly, but Johnson held it together, at least until they ran into that Katusha-Technical from hell.
Alpha also did excellent, coordinating with Vortex for very effective assault on the eastern command post and later utilizing the same Katusha for pummeling enemy FOB.
Moving Alpha west by Air, to quickly re-deploy against FOB was risky, but luckily worked. We skipped guerillas in the forest, that Janxol no doubt lovingly placed to ambush us.
Vortex juggled CAS/reinserts well. I guess you owe The Hind an apology Xwatt, it kicked ass.
PS: I didn't realized until the mission was on the way, how small the AO actually is, so initial LZ was danger close to enemy positions, which Vortex fortunately called out.
PPS: @Geb I noticed you had some problems seeing bleeding wounds on Icze when we were saving him. Are you using Medical menu when looking on patients?
It can be hard to see the wounds, if you use only the radial ACE interaction.

Act 3 - Weather the storm
Part 2
As insurgent activity spikes across all of Altis outposts are attacked, convoys are lost and both Altian and Russian operations are being disrupted. The insurgents feel bold, they have concluded that with both sides preparing for another major clash they can move and operate freely. The Altian command has finally reached the conclusion that enough is enough and this issue must be dealt with right now, even if it means temporarily weakening the Russian frontline. With Russians steadily pulling more forces towards Altis, the frontline situation will only get worse with time, and so the operation against the insurgent threat is authorized.
Altian intelligence uncovered interesting information about the insurgents thanks to intel gathered in the field and questioning captured insurgent leaders. They believe they have located several important installations used to store weapons, equipment and ammunition, as well as facilitate communications and ops control. These facilities must be taken out if the insurgent threat is to be contained. It is also apparent that many insurgent operations are looking to gather information on "Thor's Hammer". Recently, they were searching for a Russian recon outpost in Altian territory, hoping to find data and encryption keys, but that attempt was thwarted by Altian forces, who secured the outpost first. The data found there would be useless to the insurgents but they were certainly useful to the Altians, revealing Russian recon plans as well as any weak points and movements scouted by the enemy - weak points which can now be reinforced, movement plans which can now be altered.
Now Altian forces are preparing to venture into insurgent-controlled territory, aiming to show them they cannot operate with impunity.
