In-game name when banned: WAHAHAHA
What message displays when you attempt to connect? Mass TK
Why do you think you were banned? I did not TK anyone before the ban!
Why (in your personal opinion) should your ban be lifted? cos i am a serious and respectful Arma player! a Player like me is needed in your server to provide better playing experience for other new players!
Which administrator banned you (if known): i don't know
When were you banned: 11th Jen 2017

@Karate Pyjamas giving @Shadow Knight stick after flipping a 'recovery' Humvee...
 
 

Yeah it defaults to radio, you can use the commands in the channel description to add YouTube videos 

I believe it defaults to Radio if nothing is in the request queue.

Welcome! Enjoy your stay 

A bit more messy than Dai-San's setup, but it works for me until I can get moved around a bit, changed the keyboard from the razor chroma to a corsair k95 as the chroma's plastic keys are crumbling, also had to replace the mouse with a logitech g502 as my g9x was accidentaly damaged in a fit of rage and frustration, and I'm trying out the rhino x55 hotas to see if its and better than  the x52pro.
 

There is my little cutie born at 17.12.2016 with 3375g and 50cm ♥ Happy Christmas everyone ♥ *EDIT* Its´s a Girl

Helicopters spawn and respawn in Main Base and in FOBs when those are secured.
 
Additional non-respawning aircraft can be obtained by completing Side Missions.
 
Seems pretty clear to me
 
I'd agree that some helicopter variety in base would be nice, but I'd personally prefer sticking to birds smaller than the existing Ghost Hawks, which means Orcas, Hellcats and Hummingbirds.

*cracks finger* *shouts "Let`s do this!"*
 
Note: I only read the first couple of senteces of your post, then decide the rest is a waste of time.
 
I remember you, have you not said you will not be creating a forum account? Yet here you are. Weird....
You were told you can post a ban appeal on here, yet you declined that. Fine by me, you were given an option that you decided to not take.
 
Now, lets focus on the actual data we have about your GUID.
Your GUID is 83287e3639d8c936bcc20281a2e3ab9f.
You can calculate your GUID here, type in your game player ID found in your profile: http://ghostzgamerz.com/GUID-converter/
 
You were banned on July 20th by us for being abuse to one of our admins. We have a full chat log of it that could be shared here. We got nothing to hide. The name you used was UrbanFolklore.
 
23:54:26 | Player #31 UrbanFolklore kicked! 23:54:26 | Player #31 UrbanFolklore (83287e3639d8c936bcc20281a2e3ab9f) has been kicked by BattlEye: Admin Kick (tk) 23:57:26 | (Side) UrbanFolklore: Aye ADMIN!!! IDIOT!! I know you wanted to kick someone... there was no need for it... The twat I shot was a friend... Just thought you might wan 23:57:29 | (Side) UrbanFolklore: want to know 23:57:37 | (Side) UrbanFolklore: Next time BUT OUT 23:57:49 | Player #30 UrbanFolklore kicked! 23:57:50 | Player #30 UrbanFolklore (83287e3639d8c936bcc20281a2e3ab9f) has been kicked by BattlEye: Admin Kick (watch yourself) 00:00:56 | (Side) UrbanFolklore: .LOL ABUSIVE ADMINS ON HERE!!!

Then I don`t know how, your ban was somehow deleted from the logs (might have something to do with some internal stuff we were busy with) and you got banned again for advertising another Teamspeak address on September 10th. This time you used the name of DevilsUrn.
 
You see why this is ban evasion? You do, don`t you?
 
Then you came on Teamspeak and decide to annoy one of the admins about your ban. He has pointed you towards the forums and ban appeals, but you said no, you ain`t gonna do that. I do have that chat saved. You joined the next day and procceded with same behaviour. We had enough of you and banned you of Teamspeak.
<19:15:52> "UrbanFolklore" pokes you: You've managed to get that cock out of your ass gay boy ? You see why? Right?
 
As of you blaming us and saying we have double standards, if an admin was not present (you know, some of us do have a life), we are advertising on our servers that we do have a "Player report" function.
 
I do have to be honest and share my opinion with you. If you would kept your temper and posted a ban appeal, a lot of stuff could have been discussed in it. You refused that and now you are posting this "flame" topic. Seriously, why? Is there something bothering you IRL? Internet is no place to release you anger, especially in a nice community like AhoyWorld is. I do suggest you seek some professional help, its not healthy to be angry as this. One of our members always says: "If you are angry/annoyed/pissed off, take a walk. Seriously, it works". Try that don`t you.
 
Any more flaming post/topics from you, we will be forced to apply a site ban as well.
 

Marks point in mind, I do think it'd still be nice to replace two or three Ghosthawks with other birds at the initial spawn.
 
MH-9, Hellcat or Orca would be good choices IMO, all unarmed naturally.

*slow clap* One would think after one time they would learn haha

The 3-4% audible detection, while I won't argue with the data, is ever so bullshit.
 
The testing I've done, which essentially amounts to shooting dudes in the chest 100 times in a row, with and without a suppressor on, at point-blank, 100, 300 and 500 meters with 5.56 out of an RHS HK416D14.5, lead me to believe that the hit values were lowered with a Suppressor screwed on, which would make sense as compared to the sound you hear when firing.
 
From the info you've posted though, it seems clear to me that Suppressors are broke as hell, currently, given that you get all of the good with none of the bad, and I don't mean the bad that wouldn't apply to a game, such as the maintenance issues.
 
Personally, I find it incredibly boring to use Suppressors. It's a special-purpose gadget, not something soldiers use on any sort of a regular basis. It's also pretty ineffective when the guy sitting four meters off your right shoulder is SAWing away without one.
 
 

tl;dr - Silencers don't degrade the gun's performance, they improve it.
 
In Arma3, this was not implemented correctly, different mods tried to rectify it (e.g. ACE3.0.0+). Meanwhile the mechanic was corrected in arma itself.
 
The barrel is made physically longer. The explosive charge has more time to propel the projectile and the trajectory becomes a bit more stable. The projectile does not meet any objects or interactions in the silencer/suppressor. It only affects the hot gases (flash) and shockwave (sound) leaving the barrel through the muzzle (which happens after the projectile is gone).
 
A silencer does not make the shot itself silent. The bullet still travels supersonic (Mach 3 at muzzle) and makes a loud whiplash bang. The difference is that this is hard to locate and relate to the origin of the shot. Special use of sub-sonic ammunition (usually marked "U" or "SD") can result in a pretty stealth shot - it makes just a silent "whoosh" sound passing by/in.
 
These effects are currently (1.6+) applied to ballistic parameters in ARMA3 (RHS weapons changes noted separately):
 
+ no change in projectile "hit" power

+ Reduces audible detection to 3 or 4% of normal
that sounds A LOT. If it means 3% of the detection distance, which makes -30dB, which would be a good market value. There seems to be some confusion in the documentation (audibleFire parameter).  If it means 3% of the original sound pressure - it is reduction of -15dB, which seems to be a entry stock value.
A normal shot is anywhere between 100-150dB, depending on it's power/charge. The mechanical part of guns can be pretty loud on their own (the "clicking", 60-100dB) - these are not affected and still can give away our position.
RHS reduce to only 40% (-8dB)
ACE applies 10% on stock items (-20dB)
 
+ Increases muzzle velocity by 5%
5% increase in speed is not insignificant. it amounts for a 10.25% increase in kinetic energy (i.e. effective range and/or penetration). The "marksman dlc" suppressors for .338 and 9.3x64 are even better, given their length, they add 10% to muzzle velocity (21% energy increase). This affects your scope zeroing quite a bit! - aim low.
RHS add only 1% (2% eff.range).
ACE removes velocity change of stock items.
 
+ Reduces dispersion by 20%
For a sniper rifle standard of 1 MOA (minute of angle = 0.29 milrad, or 0.00029 rad) a suppressor reduces your "bullseye" at 1000m from 29cm radius, to 23cm -- Or, you will hit the same target size at 1250m. Which can be pretty significant; accounting for the faster bullet; in dealing damage with the mid-caliber guns (7.62, .338, ...)
RHS also use this value.
ACE re-balances stock weapons to arbitrary MOA values + defines a 5% accuracy bonus on suppressors.
 
+ Reduces visible detection to 30% of normal
+ Halves visible and audible detection times
these parameters are not really documented what they actually mean... but if you see the monster flash size at night, on NVG, it makes you think.
RHS reduces flash to 20% and 50% visible time, does not apply audible time reduction.
ACE leaves defaults here.

- Increases weight, reduces dexterity
the gun is apparently longer, making it more difficult to manouver (the crosshair reacts to mouse movement a bit more sluggish).
The length can be a factor especially in CQB, but since it does not collide with anything in arma, this is only a "roleplay" limitation. But then again, the flash and echoing suppression can be considered beneficial.
ACE applies a 5% reduction in recoil of stock components, which is also a real effect, due to a more controlled gas ejection
 
Yes, it sounds less cool. But get over it. Even on a MG

Got my aim back.

Shoutout to V for firing the derpiest missile I've ever seen and his medic Payer 1 for reviving V after the magic missile strikes again!

So of course...1 week later...it happened again...
 
And of course...I lost my s***...

But seriously, PSA: MAKE SURE YOU DONT FORGET ABOUT THE MISSILE...then again FORGET ABOUT IT SO I CAN LAUGH AT YOU!!!

I've seen this twice now in the past 5 days...seriously guys, be careful about firing manually guided rockets!!!
 

I love the pubs on EU 1, shout out to them and IOnceWasATeddy for Zeusing with me today...

That is all... hope you had a good laugh...

Aaaaand im in hospital and shit.
 
Must be my withdrawal from Ahoy, I shall sue.
