Given that we are invading the island, having the main airbase under our control immediately didn't seem right, however we have added Striders at base and changed the AO selection process so it should get to Guardian faster.
 
 
 
I think the fancy toys are what make Recon special and diluting this make the entire game more bland so, unfortunately this wasn't added 
 
 
 
The unflip action has been changed to avoid this and will be available on the next version launching this weekend

Since player count has dropped and most times there are no pilots online and you need to solo most of the stuff can we have few things?
-Move main base to terminal so no need for drive 20km for every side and back for rearm?
-Or make first AO terminal so we get it unlocked sooner.
-Why sniper cant have those fancy thermal NV's googles that recon squad have?
-This one is really needed, Unflip vehicle. lots of times there's like 2 guys playing and ill drive 14km to mission just to flip few km's off and leave because all the time wasted for no reason.
-If main base or terminal unlock cant happen can we have few strider spawns at main atleast, can fit more gear in those and no need to rearm after every mission.

Get rid of the stamina system on EU1, completely broken and just wastes time.

always wanted to not lose ur current backpack for a parachute?
this woud be a cool addition to I&A i think.
super leet script
_backpackcontents = []; _backpack = backpack player; if ( _backpack != "" && _backpack != "B_Parachute" ) then { hint "removing backpack"; sleep 1; _backpackcontents = backpackItems player; removeBackpack player; sleep 0.1; }; player addBackpack "B_Parachute"; hint "Parachute added"; sleep 1; waitUntil {sleep 5;!alive player || isTouchingGround player }; sleep 1; hint "restoring backpack"; player addBackpack _backpack; sleep 1; clearAllItemsFromBackpack player; hint "restoring backpack items"; { player addItemToBackpack _x } foreach _backpackcontents; hint "Done!!!!"; neds some rework XD

Dear members of Ahoy World,
 
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of @Mikael on Friday July 15.
He was involved in an motorcycle accident and succumbed to his injuries.
 
I know Mikael was a big part of you community and he often talked about how much enjoyed the ARMA sessions he had with you all.
 
I will come back with more information about the funeral arrangements when I get them.
 
**Update
The funeral will be held July 26.
There has also been created a memorial page for Mikael LINK (page is in Norwegian). Here you can light a candle and leave your name ( Tenn et lys ) or write some words in his memory ( Skriv et minneord ) 
 
And thank you all for your kinds words, it is really appreciate. He will truly be missed by all those who were lucky enough to know him  ❤️

Hello @ShepherdLaw
 
You were banned for 3 days on the 26th of November. 
 
 
Ignorance of the rules isn't really a defence here. They are available at the forums and they are also available in game. You are even shown a popup when joining the server informing you about this. Also stated above things are dealt with on a case by case basis by the administrator(s) present at the time. That also means the administrator in question chooses weather to address you via chat or TS. In adition to this your TS nick and in game nick were not the same so connecting the two nicknames isn't a given.

I see you joined the server and jumped head first in the deep end. Had you spent some time getting to know the rules and people on TS maybe asking some questions you would have been informed how Close Air Patrol vehicles are not suited for Close Air Support. You might have learned that they also tend to end up wasted assets while trying to attack heavily armoured targets with weapons very ill suited for the task. Key word here is wasting high value assets. 

We do usually work on a warn > kick > ban principle, but since the same rule had been infringed upon and the issue was dealt with shortly before your infringement,  it should be clear for everyone present at the time what the rules and consequence are. I would have been quite sympathetic with your case had you apologized for breaking the rules, but instead I read the appeal as how we should interpret out own rules and how our admins should do their job. I am very hard pressed to find any remorse in the appeal.
 
...and finally I cannot look past leaving Team Speak just to re-join shortly after as C..T and poking the banning admin with a drive by insult. This is pure disrespect toward a member of staff, complete disregard toward the rules of conduct and sprit of our community and a rotten thing to do. 
 
For this your ban appeal is not only unsuccessful but I will be prolonging your ban to 90 days.

BAN APPEAL UNSUCCESSFULL 

Ahoy,
 
I thought now would be a suitable time for a community update, as the title suggests I have a major announcement to make, and the last community update was in March, so I think the time is right to give the community an update about the current situation at AW.
 
Xwatt Leaves Core Staff
As the title of this community update suggests, I will be stepping down from CS. The main reason for this is that my own personal schedule has been getting increasingly busy and with that, I feel that I cannot the devote the time to AW that it deserves, therefore the sensible decision would be to step down. @Ryko always puts it best, real life comes first and must be given priority. I'd like to thank @Mark T for giving me the opportunity to become a Core Staff member, and I would like to thank the current CS team, and the staff team for the support they have given me over the years. But most importantly, I would like to thank you, the community, for backing me and supporting the decisions I have made in the past few years in an effort to positively move this community forward.
 
On a brighter note, I would like to congratulate @MidnightRunner and @Norris, our new members to the Core Staff team. I have no doubt that these two will be able to make a positive impact to AW for years to come, and they have my full backing for any decision they will make. Midnight will be taking over the role of AWE manager, and Norris will be taking over the role of Public manager. I would like you all the congratulate these two, and I want you to support them wholly as you have supported myself.
 
I&A4
The development of I&A4 is now back into full swing, and masses of progress has been made in priming it for public release. Just under a week ago, we completed a full 100% run of the mission, highlighting the progress in stability and allowing for persistent mission progress over the span of a few days. Please continue to leave your feedback in the dedicated I&A4 feedback thread, it is immense help in aiding Ryko to develop the mission. Feedback can be anything from bugs and missing items, to your feedback in how you think mission should be played. All feedback is welcome, and ultimately will shape the end product for the mission.
 
 
AWE and Gamenights:
AWE has had a ton of progress since the last community update in March, and we will continue to support the growth and development of the server for the foreseeable future. Currently, the server is rotating maps and factions after every one run of Liberation, and this method is aiding in keeping player retention, compared to the two runs that we did in the past. Support has been mostly positive for the switch back to CUP and ACRE, and we will continue to listen to community feedback about how we can better improve the server. Be sure to attend our Liberation Sunday events, in which you can find information for that in the events section of the forum.
 
As for Midnights campaigns, we are currently in a transition period between moving towards a new campaign in both the Tuesday, and Friday operations. For the Tuesday campaign, this will be moving towards a zombie orientated mission, and the Friday campaign will be moving back to the PMC series, and more information about that can be found here:
 
 
Alongside Midnights missions, we have two gamenights from @BenjaminHL planned, keep an eye out on the events section of the forum for the dates of those missions.
 
Final Note:
As always I want to thank the community for helping us to move forward in a positive direction. I want to thank the donators for their continued support in keeping AW financially stable, even during a pandemic where peoples income may be reduced. Being a community powered by your donations is a portrayal of the support you have for our community, and we will continue to make the suggestions and needs of our community the focal point before any major decisions are made.
 
On a more personal note, I would like to thank all of you for the support you have given me as Core Staff for the past few years. I have absolutely loved it, and it is with regret that I have to step down, but I am in no doubt that this community will continue to live on and prosper, as it has done since it has been founded. I would like to give my personal congratulations to @MidnightRunner and @Norris, both of you have my full backing, and I am excited to see the progression of AW a few years down the line from now.
 
Thank you all,
Xwatt & The CoreStaff Team.
 

As the title suggests, we have been working on a WW2 campaign which will begin on the 11th of September.

This campaign will involve two story lines from two different Zeus's.
@SiegeSix and myself will be alternating Fridays and story lines.

The first story line, my missions, will follow an airbourne division from their D-Day drop into France.
The second story line, Siege's missions, starting on the 18th, will follow an Infantry division from landing at the beaches of Normandy.

The plan is to run these campaigns for approx 8-10 weeks. 
 
Modset:
Arma 3 Preset IFA Ahoy.html
 
Points to note:
We will be alternating week to week between airbourne and infantry units Based on the recent pole carried out the modset uses Acre instead of TFAR, however for the standard rifleman this will have no impact as you will not have a radio anyway Modset is a little larger than normal but the mods required to make this work add a lot of assets and more than a few maps, we have tried to limit it as much as we can  
 
As usual if you have any questions or comment please let me know.
 
Midnight

 
 

 

Ahoy all,
 
With the return of AWE, the Staff team have been formulating ideas about how to better make use of the roles we have available. With this, we looked into how to better make use of the current Field Ambassador program, and how to reintroduce the AWE Veteran scheme, to identify and recognise players we see as ideal role models for the atmosphere we are trying to establish across our modded server. As always, I stress that these roles are not being reintroduced to create a sense of hierarchy, but to instead recognise players that go the extra mile to help newer players, enforce the ruleset and provide an enjoyable experience to their peers. As Field Ambassadors are a greater bar of entry then Veterans, they will have added benefits that the veteran programme does not provide. The benefits of being in both programmes are as followed:
 
Field Ambassadors
A Field Ambassador, is a player who is recognised by Staff, as being an role model who contributes frequently to the community.
 
-  Selected By Staff
- Exclusive Teamspeak Tags
- Exclusive XML
- Access to a discord channel with Field Ambassadors and Veterans (where both will get access to mission testing and feedback discussion with Staff)
- Access to the "mission makers" discord chat, used directly between Staff and Devs in communicating the current and future development of AW
- Acces to AW Gitlab, to report issues and give feedback on opinions on "to be delayed" features that will/won't get added to our missions
 
AWE Veteran
An AWE Veteran, is an exemplary and experienced player who is recognised by Staff.
 
-  Selected By Staff
- Exclusive Teamspeak Tags
- Exclusive XML
- Access to a discord channel with Field Ambassadors and Veterans (where both will get access to mission testing and feedback discussion with Staff)
 
We hope that by overhauling these schemes that it would both reward players that Staff believe to be making a positive impact on our servers, but also giving us a direct line in incorporating non-staff roles into the future development decisions we make at AW.

Just bought arma at the same time with my friend and im rly exited to get on the server and start playing. We tried to play some multiplayer today. But we only found some german servers and we had no idea what we were supposed to do. But now i have studied a bit and i know what invade&annex is all about. I gues thats all xd. And btw this is supposed to be a reply to the say hi new players topic but i have no idea where this is gonna end up since i dont know how this forum works lol.
