Just for reference: Zeusing was never random but there where a few moderators like KPJ who did great missions just midweek-straight-outta-nowhere within Stiletto/AWE, or just stopped the mission-AI and builded a completely new random mission from scratch but before you joined the server there was a bit of ranting and rage-quitting so now we have no more of them left.

I wouldn´t call wearing the same camo-pattern "hardcore immersion"

Sure in my opinion.

My problem is the ruined immersion by tons of different gear. So if we use slightly modded I&A4 instead of AWE I am all for it because the arsenal is faction specific.

That instead of AWE sounds nice indeed.

I feel like this will mostly just be the very same I&A-chaos but with mods.

Sure but these aren´t happening anymore so people like me tend to not play anymore. I`m talking about people going full spec-ops-look-at-my-coolest-boiiii-EUWest-loadout-style instead of standard army of whatever nation. Also being in a fireteam made up of soldiers of 4 different nations plus one whatever-spec-ops-guy seems fairly unrealistic

Unfortunately that ruins game-immersion for more serious players BUT it is a valid point wich I can understand...just makes more serious players play elsewhere.

don´t want to sound pessimistic but it doesn´t matters as that is Steerings-descision anyways

because it`s shit atm and therefore no one really plays there anymore on a daily basis

Sure but still it would be enough to just go for ACE and TFAR as these are the mods that create the immersion. The rest is just cherry-on-the-top-cosmetics. As I said it doesn´t have to be heavily modded to create good gameplay and if people really can´t live without more IRL-assets then just add a bit of RHSAFRF and RHSUSAF.

admit it, you miss me

Another option that I would like even more would be to ditch everything except for TFAR, STUI and ACE and then just play with Vanilla-factions on Vanilla-maps. I`d see this working very well as good gameplay doesn´t evolve out of stupid gear but out of mentality and immersion.

Even though everyone knows my opinion anyways: Less is more + very faction specific Arsenal (i.e. if you are USArmy you can only use UCP & OCP gear, etc.) but if too many people were complaining that they could no longer use their favourite weapon than the restrictions could only be applied to Vest, Helmets, Uniforms. + focus on RHS as Core mod as it provides a ton of stuff in decent quality + TF Radio as we already have it and people got used to it but I also wouldn´t complain if we`d go back to ACRE + STUI as it is better than the vanilla-group-UI + ACE as otherwise we could just play vanilla-Arma - SMA as it offers not all that much more than RHS - CUP as I dont want to play Arma 2 and it also offers a lot of RHS duplicates - LMount as it was a nice idea but is horribly annoying if you cant just change your scope in the arsenal because that mod forces you into an annimation...Also I dont feel like that many people were abusing the instant-sight-swapping-possibility - MGP as RHS really stepped up their game when in comes to vests wich means that we don´t need another ton of vests and it other than that just offers a bunch of uniforms wich goes against the idea of a "faction specific Arsenal" anyways - Special Saus because no one needs these beards ~ maps as for me the vanilla maps are good enough and I dont really need other ones. ~ FIR because I am never flying on AWE so I can´t tell you wether we need it or not ~ 3CB is genereally a nice mod and fits with the idea of a "faction specific Arsenal" but I would not really miss it if it was gone (+ = keep, - = ditch, ~ = idk)
