Hello, I got on the idea this afternoon when I was playing whit some guys on tanoa as a seal team. I would love to see a underwater side mission on tonoa in I&A.

I personally think a underwater fight would be pretty epic to do so if somebody can create it I would love it let me know what you guys think of the idea

Screw it, I gotta call it as I see it. No more jokes.
 
What you're describing is a perfect scenario of a spotter and sniper coordinating properly. In that same scenario, AT gunners also have assistant AT specialists that carry the missiles that the specialists can carry to even out the weight load. On a millsim or EU 3 server, I would completely agree this. HOWEVER...

This is EU 2! A server where your enemy is extremely mobile and will immediately start pressing onto your position at a quick rate! you NEED to be at least somewhat mobile to evade your enemy, and GOD HELP YOU if the enemy has artillery!
Seriously, If artillery comes up now, the server becomes UNPLAYABLE unless you have a massive fource to counter them. That force also must be mobile to evade artillery and still have enough firepower to completely take them out. I mean, watch this:
 

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: 2:15-2:45, 8:00-8:30, and 15:10-15:35

Look @Jocky and his pics, especially with his "best load out for the weight" one. O_O is all I have to give to that. Before I made the video linked above there was this other guy, this pub who was probably in the server for the first time, who kept having to go back and fourth from the arsenal and 10 feet away because he either lost an item from the class system of he couldn't do anything past walking, and he wasn't in a ghillie suit and had a Bergen backpack. Nope, he just had a standard class load out on and a field pack, and he could not, for the life of him, figure out a loud out that could suit him. So what did he do? he left. left and most likely will never come back because he'll find somewhere else.

 

This needs to be kept in mind here if these changes are going to be permanent in the public servers. EU 2 is a public server for the casuals, as I have said, and Ahoyworld is supposed to be a community that welcomes all playstyles, right? How are you going to grow a playerbase for casual arma 3 players with such tight restrictions?

 
 

I'm with @xSniper1982 on this one. This is a step in the right direction, but it still requires some heavy tweaking, such as taking base equipment like cloths, vests, helmets,  and all of your other base gear and editing their default weight. Something like a 50% off their base weight so you can at least HAVE a standard military grade load out and be able to at least sprint around in dashes when you need them the most.
 
Just my two cents. Feel free to try to counter but before you do I'll ask two questions from you...
1. Have you played on EU 2 before these new changes and with these new changes?
2. Did you play with a large group of players during server "prime time" or with a small fireteam or even squad sized element?

Seriously, your argument for or against the new changes will solely depend on your answer for those two questions. I guarantee it.

As much as I like that adding the Stamina has reduced the number of LMG wielding, Ammo hoarding, Trigger spamming, Bullet wasting reprobates.....

I find it a little difficult to reconcile that with how it affects the players who played efficiently before.

The Stamina does still seem to punish AT, Marksmen and Snipers due to their weapon weight. Not to mention what it does to the EOD teams effectiveness... they need the heavier vest/helmet due to the nature of their role, and with a sufficient loadout to operate effectively they have approx 1bar of stamina.

Add this to the fact that the Priority Artillery/Mortars/CAS runs can suddenly drop a smoke right on a team and they have no option but to RUN... they end up getting destroyed because they can't get away fast enough.

I think this is something that still needs some work, but is definitely heading in the right direction.

As an AT gunner, I fight in my underwear so I can carry my 3 missiles and 3 spare mags with these new changes

#ATLife

Yup,totally fixed.
 
This one is just 0 gear (No gps,map,compass,radio,watch)

This one is just a Lynx (No rounds in it)

Just a M320 (No rounds in it)

This is the best possible loadout for a sniper that you can have. (While still having some stamina)

-II-
And i don't even want to start testing other classes (Marksman,AT,Autorifleman)

good mission, Just need to organise ower self a bit better on the ground.
Thanks for the mission Liru ;-)

Alright, PLEASE BE ON THE TEAMSPEAK 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE MISSION. I've gotten a lot of messages recently about a lot more people "possibly" showing up, and running the numbers together, if all of them do show up, I MIGHT NEED TO ADD MORE PEOPLE TO THE CSAT TEAM. Hence I would need to flash train them on their role in the mission and make sure they're comfortable in the field. I will also consider the people who are FIRST IN THE TS to be part of CSAT if we need added room.
 
Also, if I could have some NATO and CSAT players record and upload their experience, that'd be great. I would love to make a video that also had links to both sides of the players' perspectives, and thus a viewer could see all spectrums of the action. Just a thought!

See you all tomorrow! And thank you so much for your participation!

There have been Zeus operations in the past that deal with these style operations, but something like this would be interesting to consider. Heck, the whole side objective area could use an upgrade, but i'd wait for I and A 3's release first, then we can make additions.

Also, there might be a zeus op coming up within 2 weeks regarding an operation like this...*nudge nudge wink wink*

Hey guys

Recently in the EU2 server which now features the awesome landscape of Tanoa, someone very kindly added the new V44-X Blackfish VTOL aircraft. However despite being very new, shiny, and lets be honest, really awesome to see being used, I've seen a couple of people struggle to operate this powerful new aircraft. To aid these individuals in their endeavours, I've pieced together a short video guide on how to fly this thing effectively. And by short I mean 3 minutes long. I hope you all enjoy it and take full advantage of this amazing new aircraft!
 

If you like my video and found it helpful, please give it a thumbs up so that other budding new pilots can find it in Youtube search results!
Happy flying

I am new in ahoy world but have milsim experience would like to join if possible

Hello,
 
 
I am Roy, my in-game name is D.Logas standing for Drakoy Logas.
I am new on this community and played a bit today on server 2.
I really like the pilots there are very good.
Something about me: I am 17, live in Belgium, I am a good driver, have a good shot and a okay pilot (still learning allot)
I have been in a other milsim unit before: 15th Raider Company it was a small group and I am looking for a bigger experience.
I hope to see you guys on the field and have a good time.
 
Thanks for reading and see you on the battlefield!!!
