Guess you can't have nice things, then.

 

Not much a fan of this alien / stalker setting either, but the content looks great to me so far. I'm not worried about the campaign / missions at all, because I know who's working on it.

Yeah, for some windows it is hard to see through stuff on a height below it even when standing.

Yep exactly what the_one_and_only_Venator said. That second house is like three floor building.

 

In the moment I placed myself into terrain I felt like garden gnome. To me, houses and some other assets like wooden fences are 15%-20% bigger than they should be and I don't like it. It looks simply stupid in milsim.

Yes! I'm glad it's not just me that thought this. The houses are too big.

Windows/doors proportions may be odd, but building shape/size itself looks quite OK on these screens. Two floor houses of similar shape and size comparing to a man are often in Pol... Livonia, but I'm talking modern architecture, while these are looking by texture/details like some really old remnants. Maybe they are pretending/place holding modern ones?

To be honest, when I read that the buildings are ex DayZ SA (I didn't know, I don't own that game, nor do I care) I wondered if the buildings have to be bigger to allow for the improved weapon handling in confined spaces that comes with that game.

                                                                                                     PROMET 6.5 mm

The Promet modular bullpup rifle is the LDF's main service rifle. It is known for its unique detachable carry handle with integrated 2.5x magnified optics. Besides a marksman variant with extended barrel, it can also be fitted with a 40 mm underslung grenade launcher. Tactical teams can instead choose to mount an underbarrel 12 gauge shotgun module with quick-release cylinder for an extra close range punch. The rifle is manufactured in a range of color options

 

 

 

Dear developers, please add underbarrel 12 gauge shotguns also to the main types of all carabines.

Otherwise it will be strange if a underbarrel shotguns can only be ONLY AT PROMET 6.5mm and not on any other weapon!

 

Always dreamed of having under-barrel shotguns in Arma3 with various types of ammunition (explosive, incendiary, standard). A current update could significantly diversify the weapon customization in the Arma3!

 

For example, a shotgun will look great on such basic carbines as:

 

Type - 115 

MX 6.5 mm assaul rifle

Katiba 6.5 mm assault rifle

Mk20 6.5 mm assault rifle

TRG assault rifle

AK-15 7.62 mm 

 

maybe other carabines...

The roof's texture of the chickencoop_01_f.p3d model doesn't have the same quality as the rest of the object.

 

 

Any chance we could get the famous radio tower from Chernarus? It would fit perfectly. dayz-the-landmarks-of-chernarus-green-mo

Unfortunately underbarrel attachments are not dynamically implemented in Arma 3, meaning they need actual model variants. We don't currently have plans to add them to other rifles for Contact's release at least.

Thanks for the answer, I hope one day it will be implemented.

Happens with both SCBA Cylinders.

 

Sand retextures of the Apex rugged screens and generator look... bad. Black ones are missing buttons too.

20190523213918_1.jpg

 

How will the default / GL variants of the AK-12 from Apex be handled with the Russian forces? Will it require either / or, or both Apex and Contact?

 

I'm loving the new content and I am super excited to get my hands on the new LDF and Russian gear in particular. Also, it is kind of strange to have LDF on the independent side when they are a NATO member state as mentioned on the Steam page and elsewhere. It also means they cannot engage the Looter faction (saw 'em in cfgFactionClasses).

 

I'm begging y'all to include PSD / TGA samples or unencrypted files for the LDF and Russian equipment! 😄

 

EDIT: Will we also get Tropic / standard MTP variants of the NATO chemsuits? And does CSAT or AAF get chemsuits too?

The camo spray paint (arid / lush) regular AK-12's and some accessories will still be Apex-licensed. The AKU-12s and RPK-12s will be Contact-licensed, as they are new model files. We've considered linking those to Apex as one 'family', but felt it would become too complicated with dependencies between products.

Those particular reskinned props are 'placeholder' still and will be improved.

We do hope to release as many texture templates via Arma 3 Samples as we can post-release.

CBRN Suits are available in all NATO-spec faction camos (MTP / Tropic / Woodland / LDF / AAF / Blue / White). In our view CSAT uses more advanced infantry uniforms with their own 'air-conditioning' and some CBRN protection features built-in. They do get their own APR in 3 colors. Although what we have not created to complete this set, are hoods for said CSAT uniforms to create a better seal (not currently planned).

Awesome! I'm super excited for everything, can't wait to redo my Russians with all of the new gear in particular. Personal request: Granit Suit with a ghillie cover like the other vanilla ghillie suits. Also, will the Spetsnaz faction receive any new ground or air assets such as quad bikes, qilins, or helis? I do recall spotting a heli pilot when digging though cfgMods. 😉

My main question is, how does BIS's official Russian faction compare to RHS Russians?

In what terms? RHS focuses on present day armies whereas A3 is set in the future, they don't really compare I think.

Livonia map looks fine, a feeling of Chernarus+ probably.

Nice having all those buildings we can enter.

FPS are OK with entry level R3 2200G at 2200 m visibility.

But 100% GPU load on entry level RX 550.

 

Some rails track mismatch near Garbin station in timbers loading facility such as ...

@DnA can you please turn the terrain objects from EBO to PBO now - it would be extremely help for terrain makers to have them available in TB and for binarization ASAP

this would make a possible "proxy" solution unnecessary, would be simple to do (just to adapt the build script), and be possible to release with the next dev branch update

 

thanks for the consideration!

Hi

cheers

I know that may sound greedy....but is there a small chance that we also see some of the Chernarus+ city assets added in the future, especially the soviet style appartement blocks. This would bring Arma 3 map making to a complete new level 🙂
