Cebi

@Gamerbug: I got confused by your second post where you said that 10FAKs and Medikit are heavy. I clearly misunderstood.
 
By saying that: "I see where you are coming from." You mean you understand those tips I gave you but don't agree with them? I am sorry but English idioms are sometimes murky water to me.
 
I always carry Medkit and FAK combo, but on a rare occasion when I loose it I was indeed able to revive fallen with FAKs only. I don't know if it is intended behavior. Will test it today to be sure.
 
Anyway, my opinion is this: Medikit and FAKs are essential tools for medic class. Depletion of FAKs is a good tool how to limit infinite reviving. I am against oversimplification.

Mark it in your group channel. Unless you run an open group and such people join it, nobody you don't trust will have access to it. Bonus: it prevents clutter on the map for side.
EU1/2 aren't my domain, but I'm pretty sure chat and map markers work the same way everywhere.
 
And honestly, it's a public server. Dicks will be out and about, so come prepared and have a thick enough skin to ignore whatever flak you get. It shouldn't be up to you to school impatient players, just kindly set the bird down. Have a talk with them if it itches you too much. The odd ones to complain shouldn't make you ruin the game for your other passengers.

@Daniel00 What you are suggesting can be accomplished with a closed community. Not on the public server. Invade and Annex server is more aimed towards new players so you can expect to meet some players that are clueless or just trolls. If you can spot a difference you can help clueless one with advice and POLITE communication. Dealing with troll is much more simple, you record or document with print screen what he is doing wrong and then you can report it via this LINK

i thought i would just share this star with you all 
 

@Stanhope: Look at the problem from perspective of a guy who jumped in your heli and went for quick loo or get a tea. Or a guy which wants to use your heli to get to new AO and cant understand why he is getting kicked out. You as a pilot have already great responsibility towards your passangers that you will get them to LZ safely. Many times this responsibility is spit on by new and unskilled pilots. Imagine those pilots to have right to kick and lock heli.

Chippy. You can always, at your own risk, try to find a member in the same country as you and transfer money to him in return for the program.

Cebi, it works for me, but the head movement feels way way way too unnatural for me, that and how you have to sit perfectly centered in front of the screen. I spice up the way I sit all the time so it's never accurate. It feels like I'm getting a sore neck at how force you need to move your head to accomplish anything.

Yeah, I have brought up thiis idea previously, and it was shot down because AW didn't wanna limit the then-new Marksman DLC stuff.
 
Now, however, there's limits imposed on most classes already, and we already have two weapons that only two slots have access to, so it seems a very small step to do that.
 
Personally, I'd be fine with limiting Spotters to MXMs and below, and just lock the high-caliber semi-autos to Snipers to give them two more weapons to choose from, but I doubt that would fare as well on-server.
 
My main focus, though, is limiting Marksmen to 7.62, largely because that ties better into those classes on the Squad level. Currently, most Marksmen play as Snipers with MAR-10s.

You can use hand gestures in ace3. I have seen them being used only in base when ppl were fooling around.
 
Hand signals are usefull when you are playing in a tight formation and you pay close attention to your leader. I have not yet seen that on EU1&2. Players there cant even hold formation let alone pay attention for hand signals. AI is sadly not alerted by you talking on VOIP, which is shame if you ask me. So i see no reson to implement it.
 
Hand signals are a little more helpfull in PvP because you will not alert enemy by using voip. You could circumvent this by using TS for example which is not fairplay in my eyes.

Welcome to the forums Noodle

The decision still hasn't been taken in anyway there more things to consider then just the vote  
I am sorry staff hasn't been talking on this on the forum more but we are trying to restructure multiple things (  ore about this in the future)
 
About the 80 vote your semi correct but we also cross ref uid's and ip's and we noticed in both camps people who never ever set a foot near eu#3 
 
Asoon we got more info I will come back to you guys ( you are always welcome to poke me on TS if you want info and if I can give it ) 
 
 

Either they all liked the idea or AW is dictatorship with generalissimos David leading it with his fists made of plutonium :-D

I am that kind of fool that actually enjoys flying in fog this thick. For fixed wing aircraft landing I can place markers on a map in vehicle channel and then follow them to safely land on a runway by just looking on GPS and reading speed and altitude from HUD. You can prepare something similar for Helicopters to avoid hitting flood light poles and other tall objects.
 
My point is, that you can fly during midnight storm with fog thick as pea soup and still enjoy it if you adapt to those conditions (at least with basic flight model in ARMA 3). Work with a map and preparing your ingress and egress before you take off is the basic skill for pilot and pays off in adverse conditions.

Following the events that unfolded during the last week with numerous allegations flying around about members of our admin team I have been working this week to bring you all a way to anonymously report any actions of our admin team that you believe crosses the line. We pledge our allegiance with you our members, and long may that continue but you need to report it right after the fact! To show this, here is the poll we had in the admin forums, the admins were all 100% in favour 11 votes to 0!
 
 
It should go without saying that abusing this function for your own personal gain are prohibited and abuse of this function may lead to the termination of your account.
 
You can find it under the player tab and clicking whistle, you will also find the player report function here too

This is an unofficial and unapproved MODDED game night
So if you have a problem with it, sue me
 
Some Administrative stuff on my end:
All right guys, take 2, No more banning, and stop with the god damn advertising, please. Simply put: do it on my game nights, you'll never be in them ever again, ok? Simple. (and i'll make sure my server provider names the freaking server appropriately, I do apologize again over that silly mishap)

The events that I wasn't present for (Operation Black Jacket and Saving Private you know who) were still hosted, so I'm not rescheduling. Plenty of other events to do!

So Let's get to the briefing shall we?
 
MODS ARE FINALIZED

MODS NEEDED: CBA, ACE (It will be set to basic for medical), ASR_AI3
Optional mods: Blastcore
 
Operation Ironhide
Do you guys remember that CSAT Device you found on that shipping platform two weeks ago? We recently moved it to the southern island on Tanoa for research, then were prepping to ship it home, but CSAT had other plans… While trying to airlift the device, a bloody Neopran squad did a fly by. Our Anti Air was able to shoot it down but we’ve detected a small CSAT Strike team quickly making ground to reclaim and possibly demolish the device. Your job as the Quick Response Team is to mount up and resecure that device, then bring it back to the main base where it will be safe. There are reports of CSAT and bandit forces going active all over the islands, so expect a heavy fight!

It’s convoy time…mount up boys!

HOW TO SIGN UP: TELL ME WHAT (via post, pm, or TS poke) YOU WANT AND I'LL ADD YOUR NAME ABOVE! FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
 
This is also a bit of mods testing cause the week after this event I'm branching into a part of arma we all know and love. To give you a hint, it involves Ryan's famous Zombies and Demons pack...

AO:
 

Some additional notes:
-You can take any route, so long as you're trying to get to the end point. It's my job to keep things...interesting...
-Red question marks are areas where there's likely an ambush, but not guaranteed. I recommend you scout these places out beforehand.
-T junctions are marked where paths can branch out.
-You have to cross the bridge.
-The device MUST get to the train yard marked at the end point at all costs!

Edit #1: I'm taking out the mods for the moment, I will possibly add them back, but i'm currently working on some configs because I dunno if this will be hosted on a private server or EU 5 yet. Stay tuned, and keep signing up.

Edit #2: I'm sticking with private hosting. They've offered to host it via mission file but the multiple different triggers I've set up cause too much in lag spikes which, when you have multiple moving vehicles, can cause some issues. Plus, I need the Zeus interface so I can record and edit things in the mission >_>'

Here are my toys. I started with airsoft in 2002. My fist gun was manual Beretta M92F by TokioMarui. I attended my last airsoft operation in 2011 (the year I got married).
All guns made by Classic Army and tuned up (M120, precise barrel Inokatsu, piston, gears...etc.). I used low cap magazines (60 rounds). I have 9x STANAG and 6x M14 magazines.
SCAR-L (gen.II.) with EoTech 552.A65/1 and Surefire M910A with KT4-HA. This was my favourite. With slightly over 950 RPM.
M14 + Aimpoint COMP/M
 
M4+M203 with Aimpoint COMP/M and silencer OPS Model 3rd MBS. 40MM grenades were bitch to maintain.
 
Hearts and bunies gear

@Kyle Clements: Airsoft for me was as much fun when all i got was old tracksuit and plastic beretta. It is not about money. It is about people you surround yourself with when playing.
 

@PiranhA: Maybe I did not understand you properly. It sounded to me like (as we say) you are offering a warm coat to a frozen corpse. Your advice came across as arrogant to my foreign ears. That must be my mistake because I don't perceive you as an arrogant person .

@Chavez Menendez: So if I am not mistaken, your arguments are that Mk18 lacks range, is effectively carbine and on top of that an assault rifle.
 
Let's talk ARMA then:
 
Range: Mk14 and Mk18 ABR shares same ammo class. Mk18 has in config better accuracy than Mk14 --> thus better effective range. Although, I admit that I can hardly perceive this in the game.
 
Carbine: How did you come to this conclusion? It appears that Mk18 have same barrel length as Mk14.
 
Assault Rifle: By definition assault rifle use intermediate ammo. 7.62x51 is not intermediate. In ARMA wikia (which I already cited above in spoiler) Mk18 ABR is classified as DMR. In official ARMA 3 material, it is classified as Advanced Battle Rifle which is the evolution of Mk14 and used for ranges from 600m to 800m. That sounds like DMR, does it not?
 
Now on top of that imagine that somebody does not have DLCs or Expansion . What choice he now has as a Marksman? You guessed it by now I believe. Only Mk18 ABR, MXM and Rahim.

It's a DMR.
 
The Mk18, real-world Mk14 EBR, M39 EMR, whatever are all DMRs with CQB adaptability. Even the M14 which they are based upon was a battle rifle, not an assault rifle because it fired full-powered rifle cartridges.
 
And because it's a pet peeve of mine, marksmen are not snipers.
 
Cebi, you ninja.

As I previously said there was a miscommunication when we were applying the ban, we intended to talk to them first. As for the server name, that was clearly linked without a doubt with the other community, punching an acronym into google isn't going to find it but I'm not going to post it here for obvious reasons. We are currently working through the ban appeal in private because unfortunately some people are unable to act like adults.

It saddens me that it had to come to this. I see good intentions on both sides of this "episode". Shame you could not find common ground with Liru before this drama happened.
