New to arma: how to equip the soldier?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm new to arma 3 (have played dayz with arma2+oa but not arma itself) and like it. I played with a friend and now we have some questions.

We only play escape missions as we say we should firstly train a bit before playing with a clan. Some questions:

- if I use marksman, i don't have any range finder nor a good sniper. But a sniper should be able to watchout isn't it? Is there any possibility to alter the loadout of a specific class?

- are there any missions were we need to sneak in with the submarine? There are only some missions available but no one knows about quality of user generated missions.

- Is it possible to get the marksman the squadleader or the squadleader use a sniper? As no one of us want to use a normal rifle and the KI squad leader is a joke...

- Is it possible to do the tank missions with ai or will they mess up?

And one gameplay question as we failed yesterday in the evening some times:

We are 2 humans and have the other's of the squad as ai. Now we walk along a road and see a vehicle. And now? If we engage him other KI will leave and we are dead as soon as they see us. No time to shoot. :(

Thanks in advance for answers.

Yeah you can use marksman rifles with squad leaders and other way around, you just have to script the loadout for the unit in the editor. Default marksman doensn't have rangefinder (can be scripted too for the unit) because marksman in Arma 3 is a squad level marksman and not really a sniper, there is sniper (ghillie suit default). Remember that marksman and sniper are very different roles, that means marksmen use DMR and snipers use heavier sniper rifles with high power optics. Place unit in editor and select "Sniper" instead of basic infantryman marksman. Sniper and spotter both have rangefinders by default.

It is possible to use AI in tank missions, but they always have the right to mess up :biggrin_o:

Thanks for your answer... but... these missions are the ones from Boehmia I think. How do I edit them? And: have I to do this on the server? Is there any tutorial on how to open and edit a mission file?

Ah yes, sorry man, I didn't think that trough. I don't know how to edit BI missions so I'm out of answers here.
