JTAC and ability to lase targets; and max server size

[pharoah 65]

Hi guys

Is there any functionality (existing in ARMA3 or coming) that will allow you to act as a JTAC and vector jets/helis in or even last a target? (eg. if I'm hiding in the hills of Kamino watching 100 infantry hidden under trees and I have a SOFLAM or something). Will this also affect the 'smart weapons' I'm assuming we're getting for jets eg. GBU12s, GBU38s, etc.

Also, with the size of Altis, whats the max number of players you can have on a server?

As far as lasing, there is battery-powered handheld Laser Designator for infantry, and the SDV has a periscope with a "gunner"-operated laser designator ("Laser Marker") as well.

The laser point becomes a lockable target for any vehicle with an appropriate weapons system. Arma 2 had this functionality and I assume A3 will also.

It's not functional in Arma 3 yet. It will be able to guide in GBUs, laser guided rockets, and other such things.

Currently, the laser designator is just a more advanced range finder.

Any answer on server size for Altis?

Thanks guys...here's hoping.

Any answer on server size for Altis?

I'm keenly interested in this. With Altis being 250km2 or something (ie. FKG BIG), I'm assuming there is more opportunity for additional slots against AI (eg. domination) esp for flight crew eg. chopper / jet pilots in addition to standard infantry. I'm hoping atleast 128 players. I'm just hoping with the size and scale of Altis, this won't stuff up FPS and bandwidth.
