Oh it's not even game related. I'm just unable to pay my bills or do anything related to numbers with out numpad.

I can't live with out a keypad. Used to have a keyboard that had a detachable one... I think it was Microsofts.

I have to ask, "washing" components. You don't mean like soap and water do you? More like wipe/dust them?

Welcome to the forums Schubz!

...and remember to ground yourself. Another thing to keep in mind regardless if you are using a vacuum cleaner, compressor or compressed air is to make sure you do not make any of the fans spin at too fast. This can damage the bearing in the fan, which will ultimately cause it to produce horrible noise and or break entirely.

So either you use the tube nozzle and run the risk of bumping stuff or maybe even worse the brush with the added risk of static? Dunno man, vacuum cleaners don't really sound quite like the best option to me. That's not even accounting for the things to be bulky and quite unwieldy inside the computer case.

I would like to add the following: What I saw from my end yesterday is: 1. the disruptive behavior was noted. 2. Reported by both Spartans and players in TS to an admin. 3. HadesTooksh´tTooFarSon was investigated by admin and was very quickly tied to you. 4. You were called out on it over side chat. 5. You were very careful of walking right up to the line of the rules, but not directly over them. 6. Later I was consulted and I then consulted Core-staff. So even if you did not see immediate action, some was taken. You were given a benefit of the doubt, due to being a very long standing member of Ahoy and an Ex-staffer. Those two facts are also imho very much the reason you should know better than doing stuff this way instead of taking these issues up on the forums. Two wrongs do not make a right. Ever.

What is the alternative? I mean I can't quite justify buying a small compressor...

I guess you want to get the most powerful processor your budget allows for, since it's a PC and the more performance the better. Arma 3 might not benefit from it, but other games and apps certainly will.

Arma3 is a fairly old game by now, so current hardware should be able to do a descent job of running it. I would of course recommend getting enough memory (16Gb or more), as well as a descent video card. One thing that makes a marked difference is an SSD drive which I think is a must anyway.

Hey Ito, welcome to AhoyWorld!

Välkommen till AhoyWorld forumet! Nice to have you, hope you enjoy!

The defend the police force side mission is a good example of what happens with defense scenarios. More often than not the AI get stuck on a corner, fence, bush or other object. I would not say it's a good idea as a scripted mission, it is doable as a Zeus missions though, because then the Zeuses are there to micro manage the AI.

I always prefer cautious and safe over flamboyant and dead! Welcome to the forums!

This being a public server means there will always be players who unintentionally or even intentionally break the rules. I would be very happy if all of us regulars just try to remind the new guys about the rules. If that doesn't help, then you can use the !admin command and player report function if an admin is not available. People will always find loop holes rules and in the code, the Spartan and Admin teams will of course try our utmost to keep order on the server. A quick note on the player report; it is always a good idea to submit a screenshot or two, maybe even a recording as evidence of an incident, that will help the admins resolve the issue as fast and accurately as possible. The reply to a report is not instant, but all reports will be handled and resolved and both parties the reporting player and the player being being reported will be notified, the later in case the report leads to action being taken.

As it is in I&A3 right now. We are used to add them if need be!

My thought was, by restricting the number of air assets when the player count decreases we have less of a problem with too many pilot, that potentially spoil the fun for the few infantry players by just leveling everything alone. I find that simply increasing the enemy strength does not solve the problem and might actually be an incentive for some to utilize the air assets even more. In the worst case the air assets are lost and the players are at an even bigger disadvantage.

@Ryko - Is the dynamic squad layout still a thing, limiting number and types of squads according to player numbers? I feel for example that Vortex-1 is enough with say ~10 players. Vortex-2 would activate at say ~25 players... CAS/CAP assets would become available somewhere around ~35-40 players?

I've noticed this as well, technically by the book but will result in situations where the CAS assets and mortar are give a little too much freedom, leaving infantry running doing searching for stray units in an otherwise empty AO. I.e a lot of tedious running with very little actual shooting and action. I guess the counter argument is, it's called in and could be considered realistic even.

Player report maybe? Did notice your ping last night, but had already gotten to bed.

Welcome to the community!

I guess, it boils down to not noticing the aimbotnes in I&A3 because you are perfectly fine taking pot shots from far away. I&A4 on the other hand they will come for you and thus inherently be more lethal.
