ARMA 3 video tutorial request

Recommended Posts

I'm new to the Arma series and have found it pretty time consuming figuring out all the controls. I would like to request a video tutorial for others getting into the Arma series as well.

It would be great if someone could create a video covering all the controls as well as how to use the map to locate objectives & team work.

Could one of you experts create a vid tutorial from the Command showcase mission. I have been kinda of disappointed of late with my experience with the game this could be my fault or the game-most likely my fault . Let me explain; in the Command mission it seems that the setup of the scenario would allow for a great ambush on the players part, but when I try to execute this my AI guys seem very passive and easy targets for the enemy. With the mission the enemy's main approach is from the north and north east (disregard the speedboat for the moment). With the various elevated buildings and narrow avenues of approach this should create great ambush opportunities for you and your 6 man team if you command them correctly. You have 1 machinegunner, 2 grenadiers (including yourself), 1 marksman, 1 combat medic, and 2 riflemen. Given that you know the enemies approach and all of the concealed cover at your disposal you should be able to place these guys in such a way as to do great harm to the enemy without suffering extreme casualties. In spite of this in my experience I am suffering at least 5 casualties within the first few minuets contact with the enemy. I have tried using the various commands such as: stance, stealth, holding fire until optimal, unit facing, take cover, etc. But it does not seem to change the outcome. So could someone with know how create a vid of how you would do this with a goal of suffering the fewest casualties. I think such a thing would make a great tactical training video for all and truly highlight the usefulness of the squad commands.

If interested the tutorial should be an ambush and suffering minimal casualties say 3 at most.

My video from 2 days ago. Unfortunately since I know a lot of the AI limitations and strengths, the way I accomplished the mission is not how you are looking to accomplish it. That said, I only took one casualty on my first attempt at the mission:
