Arma 3 - Sneak Preview Livestream

[papanowel 120]

When the rain is coming back? It's really missing

[progamer 14]

The F-35 has three main models; the F-35A is a conventional takeoff and landing variant, the F-35B is a short take-off and vertical-landing variant, and the F-35C is a carrier-based variant. Which ones will we see added to the game if the f-35 is still planned?

Also will we see more modern versions of the F-35 like the F-35C Lightning II in Arma 3.?

---------- Post added at 22:43 ---------- Previous post was at 22:37 ----------

Will we see large modern aircraft like the Alenia C-27J Spartan, Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, or my personal favourite the C-17 Globemaster III or will we just have a C-130J ported from Arma 2 even though Arma 3 is more in the future?

[samyg 3]

Exactly how many weapons will we be seeing come launch? As far as rifles, machine guns, and pistols go, what we have know is what we get or will there be more?

[Rolling 1]

Any news on a new server browser or a mod downloading system?

[13islucky 10]

Just to be clear, once the game gets released there will still be 2 different branches on Steam, the Dev and the Stable branch, is this correct?

In theory, yes. I believe I read something about patches and fixed going to Devbranch first. Even so, take this with a grain of salt because my memory is failing.

I am sure I heard something along those lines as well buddy, I just want to make sure as my memory is also failing, so the wife tells me anyway!

Yup, DnA definitely said this somewhere. They aim to maintain the dev branch with daily patches even after release.

Not sure if this would be the best place for this so Mods please move if you feel appropriate...

Will we see change where NATO actually default to using the 3GL with 3rds? (...avoiding word balance...;-))

I always pretty much assumed weapons where placeholders during the alpha/beta stages and that at release we'd see different kit - ie the ABR and the mk200 going to NATO (with maybe the MXM and MX SW being kept for recon as a "lighter" choice), OPFOR getting a designated marksman / sniper rifle (ABR just seems wrong for them) and Green getting at least an MG that makes sense for them - ie a 5.56?

I know a hell of a lot has changed and a lot of content we thought we were getting we're not (at release anyway) but the weapon assignment has always seemed off.

Thanks

Since changes in the AI is likely to be the biggest thing to break a campaign, does it mean AI development will essentially be locked down once the campaign is released?

[danny96 80]

Maybe there should be 2 separated AI's - One stable for campaign and one experimental under development. And ability to switch between these in editor for example.

ArmA 3 - Sneak Preview Livestream (August 10, 17:00 UTC)

[13islucky 10]

Damn, that's midnight here. I hope they'll be a recording so I won't miss out.

The last streams have been recorded by twitch so I highly suspect this one will as well :)

Lucky you! I am boarding an aircraft 10 minutes into the stream. The aircraft likely doesn't have wifi. :(

Some more questions:

-Will the Merkava tank(BLUFOR main battle tank) include a functioning Trophy active protection system like in real life, and will the tank include an internal mortar as the real life version does?

-How will the various types of drones be controlled?

-Are there are special munitions for the mobile howitzer and MLRS, such as laser guided or search and destroy?

Trophy system is a big thing for modern vehicles in combat. To not feature such a widely used system would be bad.

Thought I'd throw a few questions in the mix for the livestream:

• Is there any Official/Dev response to the Mid-Range Texture discussion? It feels like one of the only areas where there hasn't been any official response either way - Whether that's a "We're happy with it/We think it needs work/We're working on it"?
  
• Is there still a possibility that Altis might make a slightly early appearance on the Dev branch?
  
• Are there any plans to expand ArmA3's Steam Workshop integration past missions, and into mod areas like weapons/factions etc?
  

[chortles 263]

The possibility of an Altis sneak preview was announced early on, but that's all that it was. Likewise, mod support for SWS has some legal and technical issues.

[QUICKLY OFF TOPIC] - What is SWS? dumb moment here

[bACK TO TOPIC] - i cannot wait for the stream... i hope they have some suprises for us and some questions to answer.

i hope people ask the correct questions because we dont have many chances

[kylania 568]

SWS = Steam Workshop

[Ezcoo 47]

Are there plans to support the previous titles such as units, weaponry and maps of Arma 2 officially?
