Seriously, don't follow him around if you actually want something to shoot at. I don't usually get to play game nights because of the time difference and am just on late at night so apologies to those that make AW a better place at a more reasonable hour that I haven't mentioned! 

Livonian boyes be fighting for independence.
Livonia is smol, should not take very long to complete if enough players are interested.

basicly search and rescue with a jet wreck totaly not stolen from side mission search and rescue.

Some things I believe that could improve the I&A3 experience for players and apologies to @Whigital if somehow the first couple of these are stepping on your toes...
 
I believe Whigi created a small server-side mod which made CSAT armor values more akin to what we have as players so they're not such tanks.  Apparently it would need to be installed on the server and HC and IIRC he said he did some initial testing which looked good.  Shooting bad guys over and over to only receive a shrug emoji isn't terribly fun.
 
I was on one evening where we played around with a function dealing with animation Whigi found whereby it would make stamina recovery faster so you're not standing there for a minute just waiting for your sights to stop twerking.  Added with the current custom aim coefficient of 0.7 it was a much more pleasant experience and seemed completely reasonable.  I think the fix would just have to be added to initPlayerLocal and maybe onPlayerRespawn.
 
I check I&A3 completion % from time-to-time when I'm on at night and it's mostly in the 20-ish percent range so I don't think either of these would "Make I&A3 too easy" while mitigating mechanics that just lead to player frustration and as far as I know, they're things Whigi has already come up with so no new development needed on his part, probably just some testing.  
 
Otherwise the one main thing I notice when the server is low-pop is players trying to find those last couple garrisoned buildings and patrols (don't get me wrong, decorations on them has helped immensely with the former, kudos Whigi) can take a long time which is pretty boring, it's the one time you actually want AI to shoot at you.  I don't have a solution to this that I can think of that wouldn't be an SQF nightmare besides maybe reducing the diameter of main AOs by 100m if that's just a global variable to reduce the search area for those wandering patrols which would at least mitigate that issue. 
 
Oh!  One more and this is all me: I think every main AO spawns with at least 2 Tigri, there's often AA emplacements as either priority or sub objectives and on top of that there's CSAT with AA manpads and of course we have sides that spawn enemy fixed wings.  Maybe the skies above Altis don't need to be quite so hostile to transport pilots and my suggestion would be to get rid of enemy AA teams and just make them something else.  At least then pilots have a reasonable ability to know when the skies are clear and drop infantry deeper into the AO without fear of getting blasted in the face by a manpad for their effort.  I'm not a pilot, but manpads have to be frustrating AF considering all the other threats they have to deal with plus they push "safe" LZs further away from the AO except for the brave or the fools.
 
I hope these suggestions are taken with the sprit intended, which is to make AW I&A3 a more enjoyable experience for players while making the absolute minimum of work for the developers.  I think mid/low-pop is just going to be the reality for awhile until Arma4 comes out so we should accommodate that reality and it's not like we can't tweak things if we end up in the happy place where we attract and retain more players.  (Upping main AO count could be the solution if that happens.)
 
And sorry for bringing up so much stuff which I understand makes it difficult to address my word vomit.

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

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.

Alternate between Western Sahara and SOG on EU2

@Sfinx Thank you for letting us know, we've lost an incredible person, had a few deep conversations with him, he will be sorely missed 🙁

Situation
 
A Ukrainian cargo plane has crashed, without warning, North of Kavala on the island of Altis, there was no contact prior to the crash from the 5 man crew, who were travelling back to Ukraine with much needed supplies.
 
Altis is a heavily militarised nation, which while unaligned, has always been slightly Russian leaning.
The Military Government of Altis is refusing outside officials access to the site and have stated they will perform the investigation and release all data when the investigation is completed. Neither Ukraine or it's NATO backers want to push the matter too far for risk of alienating this small strategically placed nation.
 
The CHADS have been contacted as they are a non state actor and provide plausible deniability to their contractors.
The mission is to enter Altis and investigate the crash and if possible recover the Ukrainian air crew.
Arrangements have been made for the advance team to be inserted via HALO in the early morning, followed shortly after by the support elements. As such no vehicles can be delivered and all assets will have to be acquired on site. Local assets are being cultivated and will hopefully bear fruit.

Begoneth the advanced ballistics on artillery. Boof the artillery calculator. when WW2 frontlines? Add ability for engineers to field refuel E.

Did not know Mikael very well except for the times he was on EU1, he is a good and funny man.
May he rest in peace.

That's a thoughtful gesture and thanks for handling that.

Hey all,

We have arranged flowers to be sent to Mikael's family on behalf of Ahoyworld with the following message
 
"Rest easy Mikael, 
Your friendship and kind example will not be forgotten.
From your friends at Ahoyworld"
 

Mikael was an absolute incredible soul. Always lit the room up wherever he was and was an absolute joy to be with. He left incredible memories within this community and it will be a real loss without him.

We will forever cherish the time we got to spend with him and undoubtedly he will be sorely missed. 
 

I was just scrolling through here to make sure someone posted that clip.

The now infamous paradrop from the early days of frontlines (caused by an oversight where non-pilot roles got ejected from parachutes automatically):
 

Mikael's funeral agency has just set up a memorial page with the funeral arrangements.

There is a area to send a brief message for those who would like to.
