Hello Ahoyworld member,
 
  There is a way to contact the Ahoyworld Staff by typing in any chat "!admin" following this you should include the players name and reason for your ping. Examples of pinging the Staff are the following: !admin/Norris/AFK pilot or !admin/Xwatt/team killing or !admin/script kiddie on EU1. This function should not be abused, if abused it could result in a kick or a ban. On our Team speak server  ts.ahoyworld.net  (this goes in the address box) and Discord server there is a channel named "Need Assistance?" which you can enter and a member of Staff will be with you when we can. 
 
  Most of the time there is a member of Staff on EU1, Team speak and Discord servers, but in the event that there is no Staff members around there is a player report tool that you can use which is found here: Player Report Tool. In this player report tool you should include a DETAILED description of the event and TIME it took place, there is a place where you can insert a link for VIDEO EVIDENCE which will help us out tremendously in the investigation and help determine the outcome. 
 
Thank you,
 
Members of Staff

Heya everyone, 
 
I would like to let you know where we are currently at with the server upgrades and progressing through with the upgrade plan. 
 
Flagship has been running on the new box for just over a month now and it is running well. The server is more stable than before and we have noticed an uptick in performance in the day to day server running. 
 
Valiant, our second server that we host Modded operations on is now with us and i am progressing through the server setting it up to ensure it is suitably setup for the players to enjoy the full potential of our modded server. With this has been some back end code changes that will allow for us to host modded gamenights more efficiently with less man hours required to ensure they are setup correctly. As such this server should be ready for the gamenights next week. 
 
All of us at the AhoyWorld Staff team look forward to having these new, more powerful boxes to fuel us into the release of our current projects, I&A4 and Liberation.

As stated above, 
 
The staff team agrees that the intention we had with the vehicles can have unintended limitations and we feel that having the current setting changed so that medics can stitch in field, but the kit is consumed is a good move for the mission. 
 
We will not be adding roles to slow the gameplay down as the gamenights we currently run are between 2-3 hours long and we feel this is long enough for them to run with a good balance of action and planning. 
 
The PAK can be used in medical facilities and they are usually only available in the main base.
 
We value all input and will continue to monitor the situation with the ace settings
 

I think stitching in the field could be fine so long as it is limited to one use stiching kits so that to not make any medical teams that are added useless and speed up medical gameplay too much.
 
It could even be worth having specialised Field Surgeon roles with more specialised abilities like stiching in the field as well as having access to more medical supplies, like a Platoon Medic for example.
 
If that was done, you could make each Squad Medic act more akin to a Combat Medic or Combat Life Saver. These would essentially be the roles to stabilise units and have limited full heal options where the Field Surgeons would be the ones to travel between units and ensure full heals where available. These Surgeons could even fold into a specialised medical team that act on the ground and/or perhaps have MEDEVAC Choppers. Twisting the gameplay to that scene effectively keeps a sense of difficulty and slower paced, thinking gameplay where leaders will also need to take into account using WP's, OP's and Operational Phaselines as points of reference to gather not only a supply check from their men but also a medical check. On the vast majority of Gamenight's I've attended, a lot of the leaders tend to have a sense of urgency even when they've got Flat Stan and his 1000ml blood brothers walking faint like "s-sir please could we take a knee for just 1 minute and get a medical check." Perhaps that'd slow down leaders in areas where needed and give the medical roles that extra time to get things squared away. Combat Medics could use that time to gather a quick triage of their men and consider whether they can keep them stable or if they need a Field Surgeon to quickly drive/fly over and get their patient fully squared away - IF the Combat Medic has already used up all of his LIMITED Field Surgical Care supplies.
 
TL;DR - Consider implementing Field Surgeons in perhaps a Medical Team that will be the brunt of Field Surgical Care, leaving Combat Medics with limited Field Surgical Care supplies so that gameplay can still advance at a quicker rate as players desire, but also restrain and withhold dangerous manuevers from taking place too many times as Field Surgeons would be needed to fold between squads either on ground or in the air to full heal players between Operational Waypoints such as WP's, OP's and Phaselines.
 
Additionally: I agree with Kman that a review of the Medical Situation is greatly needed. ACE's Update has made things much more difficult, I personally believe that a dedicated Medical Team is needed now more than ever. I think they could fill a great gap and would be a welcome addition: carrying extra medical equipment, having access to dedicated medical vehicles that can get them across the battlefield quickly and SHOULD be relatively protected through the Geneva Convention (I'm looking at you Zues). Personally I'd fill it as such:
Paramedic Team Leader / Pararescue Pilot
Paramedic / Pararescuemen
Paramedic / Pararescuemen
 
*In case you wanted a purely air based role on occasion.
 
That's my personal 2 cents. Personally think it would be a fun and engaging way of doing things whilst also filling that speeded up gameplay that people desire, done correctly there is no reason why this would be slower than the current state of things. Just takes clear communication - that is key.

No just no.
People on AWE never take or not take risks based on consideration whether they will later be stitched or not. This will just not enter into equation.
 
If you want people to consider risk of being shot at, you have to either:
1) limit number of respawns, making it clear that dead people will not be able to continue mission at all
2) server-force specialised mods like Laxeman's suppression.
 
Again you are wastly exagerating. Wounded people need to be: bandaged, stitched and their fluids largely replenished before returning to optimal effectivenes.
What you describe woud be vanila first-aid kiting people.

A field medic can and will use a stich kit to stabilise a patient and in our gamenights and AWE play we aim to have as many boots on the ground at a time as possible. As such we will never remove the option to stich from the medics. We have limited the PAK to medical facilities that provides enough reason to send someon back to base in the situation that they are badly wounded enough that the medic cant deal with them in field. 
 
 
After discussion with the staff we are going to test out stitching in field but leave them single use to ensure that they are still balanced and the logistics still have implications if a medic is using them a lot

Situation
Following a meeting with local tribal elders an American unit was ambushed in open ground on the way back to base. They struck an IED which was followed up by RPG and MG fire. The survivors are currently pinned down and under fire. However, due to an ongoing operation elsewhere the US have limited response elements to deploy and have asked that we, as the closest allied forces,  provide assistance. US command is scrambling a QRF force but they are at least an hour out. We need to insert create a perimeter and push back the insurgent forces until the American QRF force arrives from the South.

Command & Control
 
Command:
Overall command lays with codename "Overlord" who will set objectives and ROE.
Operational control on the ground lies with the Platoon Commander.
 
Communication:
Radio channels are set for each element and can be viewed as part of the Diary accessible through the map . Platoon has limited discretion for change but structure is to be maintained.
 

Note:
The playable slots have changed since the last mission. There are now 4 squads of 6, 2 of which have a medic, 2 of which have an LMG team.
The command team now has a dedicated FAC/JTAC, who will be responsible for all air traffic and will have authority to grant CAS within the ROE set by the ground commander.
These two changes will help ease the burden of command and reduce the chatter on the command channel.
 
The last major change is the addition of a "Phoenix" team which comprises of 2 combat life savers and their own dedicated pilot. Their job is combat medivac and treatment and they will be coordinated by the FAC. 

Playing alone on the server requires special tactics. There are a few things that work for that, but usually they take some preparation and careful execution. I'd advice to take a role that can be mostly self sufficient i,e, needs to be able to handle armour and infantry targets alike, as well as selecting a vehicle that you load up with equipment needed. 

However I&A3 is designed to be a co-op mission and thus works best when played as suchs. The more the merrier as they say.

Hello there. As much as we find it frustrating, I would not recommend it because there will be loopholes in the scripting allowing players to fly a helicopter. All the veterans I know drive regardless the distance of AO.

Event Date: 10/05/2020
 
Event Start Time : 16:30 UTC
 
Server will open 30 minutes before kickoff to allow people to slot in early and troubleshoot mods or set up gear.
 
Briefing: The war on terrorism is and has always been a plague trying to isolate and eliminate. This time the middle-eastern insurgents has sought to capture and hold the attractive vacation spot, Malden. The Consulate of Malden has made it clear not to turn Malden into a warzone, however this proves to be easier said than done. The lack of a local military force has put a lot of pressure on the local police force. The Consulate of Malden has asked the British Armed Forces for aid in eliminating this plague that has swept the island. For queen and country. The Royal Marines shall return victorious.
 
Mission: You must clear out the insurgent presence in and around Hotel Sierra and Hotel Weasal. If there's hostages, they need to be rescued and evacuated along with any intelligence you are able to recover from the objectives.

Hello and welcome to the revised ACE Medical Guide: 2020 Edition.
 
This guide aims to be a comprehensive resource for the dedicated medic; to steel yourself with knowledge first so that you can hone it in combat. It will send you on a journey to become the best medic you can be.
It does not offer panacea. That's just called a packing bandage. It does offer the basis you need to understand the inner and outer workings of ACE Medical with an attempt to dispel some common myths.
 
You can find two proven sample loadouts at the very end of the document, as well as a spreadsheet with all the data there is about bandages.
 
For an easier read, here it is on Google Docs.

The GDoc is always going to be the most up-to-date version, but if you prefer PDF, here you are:
The PDF is now very much outdated. I will update it with the 2.4 revision, which will include a flowchart and procedure.

Situation
Newly arrived in the area we have established our main base of operations known as "the Warehouse". We are primarily contracted by the US DOD to operate in the region. They will provide tasking for the company when needed, we may also avail of any open contract on insurgent leaders as we see fit. While finalising our readiness in theatre we get word that a trail has been found for a local mid level insurgent leader, "Ahmad Zubair Kuhestani". Intelligence has placed members of his immediate family in the area, it is therefore likely that Ahmad is nearby. You are tasked to search the area and find where Ahmad is hiding. HE is then to be captured alive and brought in to be handed over to US forces.

How to use the RPG-7V2's ammunition:
 

That thing was a great mission. We all had good fun I guess. Thanks Benjamin! Made our Friday evening a good end of the week. Nobody actually noticed how much time we spent on this mission... 

 

They were removed from the arsenal because they are CSAT equipment and we're fighting CSAT.  I'm well aware that there's several other pieces of CSAT equipment in the arsenal, I'm not particularly happy about that.  Now I'm not saying I won't add them but it needs some more convincing, just having different zoom levels doesn't justify it for me. 
 
As I said, not particularly happy about those CSAT weapons.  But while working on Liberation I've messed with their arsenal restrictions a bit and think I can make the arsenal whitelist work so you can't take them out of the arsenal but can take them off of the ground.  I make no promises though.
 
The EOD vests are already in the arsenal for explosive specialists and maybe the engineer as well, can't remember.
 
Again, enemy equipment, I'm not saying I won't add them but them just looking nice isn't justifying it for me.
 
These will be in the next update:
