CaptainDawson 93 Posted July 17, 2018 Hi, I'm just getting started in Arma, and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for asset mods I should try out. Browsing the Workshop just seems like drinking from a fire hose to a new player! I'm primarily interested in larger high-quality alternative maps to the stock ones (especially desert and historical), aircraft, and UAVs. I prefer using just a few large mods cause I don't want to bog down my install with hundreds of small mods. I don't have the skill yet to do much troubleshooting in Arma. Any input appreciated!

section 20 458 Posted July 17, 2018 CUP. The RHS stuff. The USAF mod, for a start if you're into aircraft. CBA_A3 first of all mods to load. CUP will sort you with plenty of terrains and lots of assets with all the stuff from ARMA 2. RHS mods will provide more assets and aircraft, same with the USAF mod. Firewill does a lot of aircraft and dust sabre too. Maybe something like TPW and enhanced movement mods are pretty useful. For the workshop, try the "most subscribed" tab. I'd just download stuff and give it a try. Just sub to something and on the mods tab of the launcher, it will ask to load the mod, and if you don't like it or it screws somthing up, you can just unsub. No more commandline stuff like back in the A2 days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnKalo 657 Posted July 18, 2018 @CaptainDawson 1.] CBA - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18767 needed for most addons. 2.] ASR AI3 - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24080 which makes the AI worth fighting with. 3.] Lythium - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=32694 for the map you are looking for. Lythium also requires http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26806 for some building modules. 4.] Kunduz - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27882 as a map which is however relatively small. 5.] For vehicles, having the official addons is I believe enough for a start. The problem with add-ons is that many of them are not updated so due to Arma being updated constantly bugs might appear. As for CUP and RHS, as stated above, they are nice addons but maybe they are too big for a start. Arma has got many assets alone and filling your game with hundreds of vehicles and weapons before getting used to Arma might cause a fill up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainDawson 93 Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks for your replies guys! Haven't tried all your suggestions as of yet, but so far CUP is making it a whole different game for me! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
