Mission Name: [EU2] Public Zeus Op Game-night - Wednesday 04/04/18
 
Mods required: None, or Public Repo mods.
 
Brief Summary: Yes! A game night on EU2! You read that correctly. I am proud to announce the introduction of the first official Ahoyworld Public game-night hosted on our EU2 server. 
 
So what exactly should you expect?
 
The game-night will consist of a variety of different types of Zeus ops all around the map of Altis - Each mission made intricately by the Spartans and public moderators of Ahoy. These are the types of missions you should expect to run into on the night;
Hostage rescue missions Attacking an enemy FOB Attacking a town fortified by CSAT And much more!             
Lastly we will finish with a defence mission - where you must hold off from an incoming CSAT attack.

I, for one, welcome our new near-useless Thermal overlords.

I always say over 50% of piloting skills is selecting the right LZ and approach. The controls and controlling the chopper are important, but only become critical to your survival if you messed up the planning or failed to execute according to plan!

Didn't we also have an insanity of issues with CUP trees and foliage not blocking sight for AI?

Awww the visuals are very nice, but I've gotten so used to the JSRS gun sounds that it's hard to live without!

Hey guys,
 
Over this month we've been overhauling the Teamspeak permissions as some of you have a lot of issues sometimes with overlapping permissions etc. 
 
Every Server group has all the permissions of the group before
 
Guest -
Can Join all public channels
AW Member -
Can create a subchannel in [Create your Own Sub-Channel]. Can access general file browser
Donator -
Can join the Donator channel, Can access donator file browser. Can poke Core Staff 
 
Most of these changes you won't see as it's mostly for the benefit of staff.
 
The channels will do a bit of moving and updating, however, all the main channels will stay the same.
 
I'll post again soon when all the changes have been implemented
 
 
 

Recent Dev Diary on Tanks DLC.
 

 
BLUFOR Rhino MGS and its UP variant. 3-man crew.
 
Armor is no good against 40mm and upwards, but what it lacks in protection, it makes up for in speed.
 
120mm Cannon, 12/8/8/4 APFSDS/HEAT-MP/HE/Laser Guided ATGM. Also packs a .338 co-axial MMG.
 
Commander gets a Laser Designator system.
 
UP variant adds 50. RCWS and ERA to hull front, turret rear and turret sides.
 
A SLAT cage can be added, covering 360 hull coverage on the standard variant and omitting the front hull on the UP.
 
Both variants can load into the Blackfish, like the Marshall.
 

 
GREENFOR AWC 301 Nyx. 2-man crew.
 
Basically armored with Paper Maché, this won't stop anything above 7.62x51, however it's extremely maneuverable and pretty quick. It's also smaller than a Hunter, and so makes for a tough target to hit at speed.
 
AT variant provides a .50 turret and an ATGM system capable of loading 2 missiles at a time, with three slow reloads available. Locks to heat, but is weaker than the Gorgon's Titan AT system.
 
Recon variant has no weapons, but provides a Strider-style extendable observation pod, as well as a rotating radar dish.
 
Autocannon variant provides a 20mm rapid-fire cannon with 60/60 AP/HE. Also packs a 7.62 co-axial MMG.
 
AA variant (not pictured) provides a 50. turret and a SAAMI capable of loading 4 missiles with 2 reloads. Haven't tested it's effectiveness, but expect a Cheetah trading damage for reloads.
 
All variants can be configured with SLATs and will load into a Blackfish, though despite leaving plenty of room, it's too heavy to allow anything but a Quad Bike with it.
 

 
REDFOR T-140 Angara. 3-man crew. The "Steel Monster on Steroids."
 
Even more durable than the M2A1 Slammer.
 
125mm Cannon with greater maximum engagement range than any other system. 20/12/12 APFSDS/HEAT/HE. 7.62 co-axial. 50. RCWS.
 
You'd expect it to be slow and bulky, but you'd only be half right. This thing is fast in a near-straight line, like the T-100 before it.
 
It's K variant replaces the 50. RCWS with a 30mm autocannon firing 60 MP rounds with three reloads, and also adds a sensor package linking it into the system introduced with Jets DLC.
 
No SLATs for this bad boy though. Not that it needs them anyway.
 

 
BLUFOR M4 MAAWS Mod 1
 
BLUFOR's new Light AT.
 
Unguided, lightweight, low volume ammo, that still packs a good punch.
 
Range increments up to 1000 meters. Think of it as an improved RPG-42.
 
This also comes in an AAF variant, M4 MAAWS Mod 0, which essentially just has a shittier optic and AAF camo schemes.
 
-----------------
 
In addition:
REDFOR has a new AT launcher. A slightly more powerful PCML with higher weight and volume ammo, that in return is wire-guided and so can't fire-and-forget.
Quilins now have a variant with the new OPFOR AT launcher replacing the 7.62 Minigun.
Prowlers now have a variant with Titan AT replacing the .50 HMG.
Marshall, Gorgon, Mora, Marid and Kamysh are all able to field SLAT systems, covering a full 360 degrees on all. Some of them also have options for turret SLATs.
All ATGMs but the new REDFOR one can now select Direct- or Top-Attack modes.
 

Welcome to the community!

How not to park your Hunters...or from the ballet of "Sir I-flip-you-alot"
 

 

Update 01/03/2018: That test went well! looks like DynaSound is here to stay!
Next up, we are going to test out Enhanced Soundscape, This mod is more intensive than DynaSound, so i'd stress that potato's probably want to avoid this one.
 
If you want to try out Enhanced Soundscape, then follow the same installation instructions for DynaSound below, just use this mod instead:
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26780
 
You can use the same arma3sync group, just drag it into the new modpack you made alongside dynasound2.
 
(Side note for people using steam workshop, you can use workshop to download your mods, but I Advise copying them out of the workshop folder so they don't update before the server has had a chance to update, leaving you unable to join)
 
 
Hi, Neighborhood transport pilot and steering committee member here.
 
We will be testing a new optional sound mod in today's Stiletto game night:
 
The Mod is optional, which means that it wont be in the Repo and you wont have to download it if you don't want to, for people who arn't interested in this sound mod you can continue as normal and nothing will be different for you.
 
If you are interested in using this sound mod however, here are some steps to install the mod:
 
Step 1: Download the mod: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29810 (scroll down to the bottom of this page and click download)
 
Step 2: Place the mod in your Arma 3 folder, next to all of your other mods (for people using the default steam install path, that's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3"
 
Step 3: Open up Arma 3 Sync, right click on your AhoyWorld Enhanced mod collection, and click Duplicate, you could call it for example: "AhoyWorld Enhanced With Sounds"

 
Step 4: Drag the mod "@DynaSound 2" from the left to the new mod pack you just made and you're done :), just launch Arma using this mod pack instead of the normal enhanced mod pack to play with the sound mod.
 
 
 

Welcome to the forums, servers and the community Suribatchi Sama!

@Shadow Knight @Adshield @SkullCollector
 

Hi to all that take the time to read this intro .
 
So not to say much but have been playing on Ahoy servers for a while now and some of the guys who I've played with in this time are (Lindi,Plant1ng,Stanhope,Admiralbumfluff,Skalman to mention a few) There have also been some other unlucky fellows who have witnessed first hand my amazing piloting skills. 
 
Other than that, I'm super excited to be a part of this community and doing my part where ever I can! I dont know much about much right now but I've steadily started to learn and plan on keeping that up. 
 
Peace 

I have been playing AWE for a couple of weeks and it is really the kind of experience i was looking for in Arma 3. 
 
I want to thank you guys for being welcoming of new players, even if i have previous experience in arma. You have helped me to learn the ropes of the roles on this server, and even if i had no idea what i was doing in the beginning, respected the roles and gave your tips to improve myself.
 
Again, thanks for the welcome and ill see you soon ingame!

Found some time this morning, jumped on some random American server and managed to have a lot of fun even though my ping was somewhere closer to 200.

Got into the medic slot, had a great SL that was calm, level headed and had a clear picture of what was going on. I managed to save and help a lot of team mates and even got myself a few kills.
 
It's quite some time since I've experienced a rush like this!

Please welcome with me our latest addition to the Steering Committee: Hobnob!
 
As of yesterday and after some deliberation, Hobs has joined Steering as a player and our third member.
We felt that a regular player's perspective could positively help us steer this ship and directly link to the goings-on of the server.
 
That is all.
 
Steering

The time is slightly challenging, but I will do my best to be there.
