Very interesting.

A pity you are going to use futuristic crap tanks and not RHS ones.

Good luck for the upcoming matches

Thank you Zio Sam. Well this is the very first event in Arma3. So I want to keep the mods as few as possible, to better evaluate server performances. But as usual, each RT battle will have its own tank/units asset, and definitely RHS are on the list for the second or third Arma 3 RT. Still I have to indagate more in-depth the compatibility of AGM with RHS tanks. But I repeat, RHS tanks are in top list!

I hope your test go as planned and to see RHS assets soon,you'll make any armored warfare enthusiast very happy

I would love to join, but unfortunately the hours are a bit too early on my end. Need to get the kids to bed before playtime.

But keep up the good work organizing, maybe I'm able to join sometime. Looking forward to see some footage and AARs ;)
