Hello Pickle, Thank you for your feedback. In regards about the heavy man portable launchers and heavy vehicles like main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. The assets used in I&A3 are all vanilla or DLC assets that are to be used to complete AOs and further the mission. Without these heavy assets many AOs, for example the salt flats would be very challenging to complete. The very flat ground of the Salt flats will let AI spot enemies from afar due to the very clear lines of sight. If all the heavy assets were to be removed, areas like the Salt flats would slow down to a crawl and negatively impact the enjoyment of the mission for a great number of players. I&A has been developed by keeping the players and a balance of the available classes in mind. Changing or removing assets and classes will naturally have an impact on the rest of the classes and the assets at their disposal. The ground rules that you have suggested will not be implemented. The ground rules you have suggested are seen as moving I&A3 more to a direction our AWE/Liberation/MSO-servers which is not the way we want to develop I&A. AWE and MSO is there to serve the players that want more organized game play and a touch of realism. The timed reward script is also off the table. I&A has Main AOs, Priority targets and Side missions to provide our players a variety of different missions to enjoy. Which mission the player decides to play is up to each player. Normal AOs reward the players by advancing the missions and giving access to new FOBs. Priority targets pose a threat to the entire team and thus are important to take out. The side missions, while a little smaller often have a more complex nature and give out reward vehicles. Quite often these rewards are quite small, aside from the heavy vehicles or CAS assets. We feel that this balance is quite good and will not implement new scripts to I&A, especially when the demand for the said script is very low. If a player is rewarded with a heavy asset, then they are rewarded for the effort they have put into the side missions. They have worked for the reward and it should be theirs and they should be free to use them within the current rules of I&A. As long as they are helping the team we are not going to punish them for doing so unless it goes against the Rules of Ahoyworld. Staff Team

General Rules (applicable to all) 1.1. These are rules that apply to all situations where you communicate to other AW members no matter what medium is used. They are not exhaustive and should be taken as a guideline on how to behave. We reserve the right to modify these rules and to defer to our own Judgement. 1.1.1. AhoyWorld is a welcoming community that respects its members and visitors. We expect everyone to maintain this environment and will take action against those who jeopardize that community spirit. Admins reserve the right to warn/kick/ban users whose behavior is deemed disruptive or aggressive and not conducive to a place of tolerance/friendship/comradery. Whether the behavior is disruptive or not will be determined on a case-by-case basis on the judgment of the admin/admins present. 1.1.2. Trolling in any form will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. 1.1.3. Racism or hate speech of any kind is not tolerated. 1.1.9.

Hello Members, Donators and Guests, Welcome to 2021! This is a new year for the World and our Community. Ahoyworld would like to thank all the Donators for your donations towards our community and hope that you continue to as we are reliant on them. This year will be full of good times with friends and new friends on our Public/Modded servers but also on our TeamSpeak server as well (ts.ahoyworld.net) so come and join us if you would like. This year will also be full of Events so keep an eye on our Events page for the full details ranging from Multiple Session Operations (MSO) to Campaign like Zeus missions (regular Mission Makers) to Game nights hosted by individuals like you. If you would like more information on any of these there will be links for you to click on below. But here is the low down on these: MSO - Multi Session Operations, we used to use ALiVE but due to instability we switched to just hosting Zeus game nights with a story that spans several weeks. First person only and a somewhat higher immersion mod count. RP is highly encouraged. Tends to put players in hard spots vs AI. Campaign mission - On our Enhanced server we have regular modded missions. Emphasizing tactics and teamwork. Game nights - If you've come up with a mission that you would like to run on our servers, this is how you can do it! We have a framework available as a good starting point for your ideas (Mission creator framework), and when the mission is ready, you simply fill out a game night request found here(Game night request form). Staff will work with you to test your mission, make any necessary changes, and find a slot for it in our events calendar. Can be as simple as a Zeus enhanced I&A session, to custom missions with mods. https://forums.ahoyworld.net/forum/27-events/ https://forums.ahoyworld.net/forum/169-multiple-session-operations/ Thank you for being part of our community as without you...there wouldn't be one! Staff Team

Ahoyworld welcomes streamers and video creators to our servers, and we appreciate your continued presence. We have a official branded banner which you can use in your stream (ask Staff for more info), but ask that you follow a few guidelines when you do so: 1) Be an example of Ahoyworld's ideals ("AhoyWorld is a welcoming community that respects its members and visitors."). We want your viewers to feel like they will be welcomed if they want to join in some time! 2) Please use our Teamspeak 3 "Server Group" feature to mark yourself as "Streaming", and make it known in briefing that you're streaming. This is a courtesy for other players in the channel. (Not mandatory for gamestyles where we don't require TS usage) 3) Ask us to re-stream your stream on the official Ahoyworld Twitch channel. Video creators, you have much more control over what gets put onto your channel as it is not live. Please continue to use good judgement about things you upload with the Ahoyworld name attached. If something reportable occurs that is seen in stream, we ask reporters to include a link to the full length stream VOD and a timestamp in the report. Do not use the "clip" feature on Twitch etc. Reports are to be anonymous (via the form) and should not have a negative impact on streamers.

It is on our Enhanced server AWE which runs liberation and game nights. Unfortunately it is not on the Public side EU1/2 as not all would have it which would look janky when you use it as in they would see you're on one side of a wall and the next you're on the other without playing the animation. Here is the Liberation link (HTML/date may be subject to change): And here is the events page where gamenights and others are posted: https://forums.ahoyworld.net/forum/27-events/

Hello members and guests, Starting on Monday the 28th, 2020 Ahoyworlds EU1 server will be switching over to I&A 4 for Beta tests. We hope to see you there and value your input which helps us steer this version in the right direction along with squashing the "features" that pop up. If you have any ideas, questions or have found "features" here is a link to the feedback thread:

Thank you for your post Everett/Time. Allowing the head tracking mod on our EU1 server would mean manually updating the key whenever it updates due to the key being on a google drive and that is no Bueno so to answer this it will be a no. As for the RPG-7 it is on our servers but to use it you will need to be a Squad leader or a Light anti-tank (LAT) to use it. I hope this answers yours and others questions about this topic. Thank you, Norris

Below is the change log for I&A 3.3.64 which will go live after the next server restart on 12/19/2020.

Thank you for your recommendation Everett. Unfortunately this request is going to be denied due to the current range of motion TrackIR has built into it along with the key being on a google drive that would need to be manually added again and again when the developer decides to update.
