Tanks DLC Unofficial Discussion.

[Blackbomber200 11]

Hello there guys I'd like to start this forum to discuss Arma III's last DLC for the year. I know its still a longs way off, but its never too early to start discussing these things. Well actually Bohemia encouraged us to give feedback and ideas on the their DLC.

We round off this roadmap with an ambitious goal: overhauling the experience of armoured combat in Arma 3. This package will follow our well-established model: a set of premium assets, which bring something new to the sandbox, supported by platform improvements and additions for everyone, for free. We encourage our community to share their own wishes on the topic, too! - Bohemia Interactive

So here are mine. I'd like to brainstorm or suggest Tanks and APCs or upgrades or fixes to the current Tanks we already have. This is simply just a place to discuss Ideas and I don't except Bohemia would choose all of them or any of them for the matter. Below I will put some of the Tanks I would like to see make their way with the Tank DLC. LET US BEGIN!

 

P.S If this is in the wrong section I apologize Moderators, please move it the correct section.

 

The first Armored Vehicle I would like to see is the AMV-7 Marshall Mortar variation from the Pre-alpha that was never put in the game. It looks really great and I think would be useful when you need mortar support but don't want to use the large long range mortar Tanks. A variation perhaps for all the factions including CSAT and AAF. I would also like to see the AMV-7 and all the Faction APCs get more armor or perhaps add the option to add Reactive armor I feel like the APCs defiantly can be taken down too easily with Grenade launchers which is a main reason why I think APCs don't see a lot of action or seen on the battlefield a lot which kinda sucks when you want to use armor. I personally like the AMV-7 Marshall and wish I could use it more. I also feel like the Wheels on APCs can get shot way too easily

 so maybe add light plating that covers half of the wheels making them harder too hit. Also if you could perhaps add a 12.7mm machine gun to it, either that or change the description of the tanks armament.

 

Next I'd like to see the American Main Battle Tank, but instead have the M1A3 battle tank the Military is currently developing and working on. There currently no blueprints or pictures of it for obvious reasons so Bohemia could probably use some creativity in how they think it will look in 2035.

 

Here are American APCs that the US Military currently uses that would be cool to add.

The M113 Armored Personal Carrier.

Stryker

LAV-25

Also the M3 Bradly

Next up I want to suggest maybe a tank for the CTRG or the British. The M2 Challenger is highly regarded as one of the strongest tanks in the World or was atleast with only one being destroyed by friendly fire (Quite tragic)

Now this amazing futuristic tank is real and is currently being developed in Poland as their next main battle tank. Its considered a stealth tank and by far is one of the most futuristic looking tanks we are currently making in the world the PL-01 MBT.

It would only be fair to in cooperate a polish tank since ironically they are only one of a few countries who actually pay their 2% to NATO.

 

This gorgeous looking tank I believe I already spotted in the Roadmap Video on YouTube, but if that's not it I'd like to suggest it now. This tank is currently regarded as one of the most powerful tanks in the world and can beat any NATO or US Tank. It also has some of the most advanced weapon systems and counter measures in the world and the inside literary looks like the inside of a Spaceship. The T-14 Armata.

 

The T-15 Armored Troop transport Carrier.

 

 

 

The BTR Bumerang

The 2S35 Artillery Tank

 

Now moving onto the Chinese or Pacific CSAT Forces. Not much is really known about what new Main Battle Tanks or APCs the Chinese are developing so I'll just add the current ones they have and maybe futuristic versions can be made by Bohemia.

Type-99

ZBL-09

Not a lot of new Chinese APCs are being made atleast from what I can find.

 

I'm pretty sure the T-100 actually is already this, so maybe Bohemia is time travelers or has access to super classified intelligence but this is Iran's newest Main battle tank the Karrar just hit the production lines this year. 

 

The Type 10 is Japan's newest Main Battle Tank and would possibly be relevant for the Pacific in Tanoa.

 

The Type 87 is Japan's current APC.

 

Germany is currently using the Boxer I believe as their APC of choice, although it has a similar look as the Stryker, but Id thought Id just put it here anyway.

The AFF Tank is already based off the Leopard MBT so I won't include it obviously.

 

Next up is Itlay's Ariete Main Battle Tank which I think would be relevant to Altis since Altis is suppose to be near Greece and Italy.

 

On top of that the Greece use the Leonidas IFV APC which would also be relative to Altis

 

 

 

That's all the Tanks that I wouldn't mind seeing in the tanks DLC, now I know you won't add every single one of these or any of them on the list and some of tanks currently in the game might already be based off of some of these, but these are just some ideas.

 

Outside of that I wouldn't mind seeing tweaks and balances to the older tanks with a Dynamic Loadout system (Nothing too crazy) Just changing ammunition types or the Machineguns on the Tanks with perhaps different types of Defense systems like the option to have Smokes or the newest Active Protection system that some of these tanks have. The Germans are currently working on a 130mm Cannon, but they don't know how feasible it will be, but this is in 2035. So maybe change out cannons on tanks? Also wouldn't mind having Reactive armor option to add too tanks, but this would make tanks slower and eat up more fuel as a disadvantage if you wanted to keep things balanced, or add harder hitting rounds to penetrate the Reactive armor, or make tanks harder to kill. Heck maybe Reactive armor is already on some of the tanks, doesn't feel like it though. Should be able to add to APCs though. Also maybe add TOW launchers to the APCs to help with dealing with Tanks (Although I know APCs aren't made to fight tanks, but sometimes you run into Tanks). Also possibly add Incendiary rounds for the Tanks Commander Machine gun.

 

These are all the ideas and suggestions I have, if there is something I miss or forgot, be sure to comment your ideas too so we can make Tanks Great Again!

I don't know if this belongs in this particular forum, more than likely it should be in general discussion. However, since I took the time to read it, the AAF absolutely doesn't use any version of the Bradley IFV, that is a by-that-time older British FV-510 Warrior that has been sold to the AAF as a cheap IFV. This fits the AAF's backstory as a prior British colony. It would indeed be interesting to see if they keep the British influence in the Tanks DLC and include an older Chally 1 or 2 as the new AAF MBT. Or perhaps, they'll take a cue from modern Greece and evaluate an older Russian MBT like a T-80 variant, or possibly T-90A given Arma 3's time period. Food for thought.

In scanning horizont i saw ARMATA. About others vehicles you request... Why to make new models of vehicles which are in game almost in every mod... Try to think please!

Because why would I want mods when I could have the Professional Creators of the game make it. Considering I paid $60 dollars for this game and will pay 20, 15, or 10 dollars for the DLC. Try to Think Please.

This is where Addons and Mods are discussed.... Yes it would be interesting to see a T-90A as Altis's next MBT.

But that what you think Is absolutely unusefful because of count of these vehicles already in game... 

 

BI have plan what to add and i dont think that they will change it because of one user.

 

 

You rather should pay these money to somebody who Is moddeling model.

 

Again try to think!

If the Game Developers are going to ask for the Game Communities wishes I'm going to give it to them because I can and I will.

Again Try to Think

Not really - we don't need unnecessary threads.
