Just closed down O2 and noticed Arma 3 tools says and update is required, anyone see anything different? (updating a bunch of stuff at the moment.)

What i can see , they added new example models and updated binarize files

[da12thMonkey 1943]

There are some new sample models and configs in the tools package (boat, helicopter etc.) Probably updates to some of the other utilities and something called BankRev, which I assume is the official .pbo decompiler that BIS mentioned in the sitrep

Ed:- yep

The stable branch patch notes would be in a SPOTREP (#00019), but that hasn't been published yet; #00017 was the ADAPT update (v1.1, 21 January) and #00018 was a 29 January hotfix.

It looks more protected to me, it has extra armor plate. Agree about the smaller canon.

Did some test, and it explodes much more easily than the other one.

It was already published but not by the DNA on the forum. The link : http://dev.arma3.com/spotrep-00019

So it needs 4 shots from T-100 to the front from AI(precise shots) vs 3 in the past. T-100 still the king of tanks in Arma ;).

[drebin052 323]

The HEAT-MP-T rounds can actually destroy other MBTs; useful if you're out of AFPDS. :P

You do need about 8-10 (vs 4 AFPDS) though.

It was published in the minutes between our posts. ;) A pleasant sight to see nevertheless, thank you.

Hah. That's what we get for being too early. Thanks guys!

[byku 13]

Great, awesome spotrep! Keep up the good work! Can't wait for a DLC, gonna buy it 100% to support you guys! :)

NATO's new CAS Bird is the A-164 Wipeout

File evidence thanks to dreben052. I took the liberty of putting in the new CSAT truck and jet in there too.

It's in here if you want to take a look for yourself C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Addons

Oooooh, so the A-164 is based on the A-10! Yussss!

[papanowel 120]

Good news!

[wolf359 19]

A very pleasant surprise - I expected nothing more than the western clone of the Yak 130 - Alenia Aermacchi´s M346 Master.

This is how the Neophron looks in real life - meet the Egyptian vulture the "Neophron percnopterus"

Good way to start the day.

[roberthammer 582]

There is also some mysterious NATO cargo plane which was seen in configs before

btw they could add the F35 too :D

[Imperator[TFD] 444]

Can anyone please point me to the location of the new weaponholders that have been added into the editor?

[2nd ranger 282]

They seem to have been removed accidentally, at least on dev branch.

[james2464 176]

Brilliant! I'll put this on reddit.

[byku 13]

Better armaments? What's better than 30mm gatling gun? :P (in before 40mm ;]). Looking forward to see how it looks!

[Imperator[TFD] 444]

Damn, I'm stupidly keen to start playing around with them.

[chortles 263]

Ehhh, it's not that mysterious, unless it's not the "C-192 Samson".

[kilroy the nerd 14]

Wait, if NATO's jet is a CAS jet what will we use as a fighter against Buzzards and the CSAT planes?

Byku: Either it's talking about the missiles and such, or we're getting a 75mm autocannon or the likes.
