Old pilot - new to ARMA 3

[dragonflyfan 10]

Hi Team,

 

I used to play a lot of ARMA 2 before kids came along, now they are nearly teenagers I’m reconnecting. 😜

 

My most favourite in ARMA 2 were coop helo gunship or transport missions. Can anyone steer me in right direction for best similar missions in ARMA 3 please? I like to play with my Father and get him back in as well.

 

Cheers

===============

This list isn't all the heli missions on the workshop, just a rough list to start with, hope that helps cheers!

[dragonflyfan 10]

Crikey that is an amazing list and looks like it will give me plenty to get start (again) on.

 

One thing I do remember is that the ARMA community are very responsive and generous.

 

Thanks so much. 👍

[dragonflyfan 10]

Just checking in for more guidance please. Is there a ‘quick play’ feature for helo missions? 

[beno_83au 1362]

These helo missions are pretty much plug-and-play from KP:

 

[dragonflyfan 10]

Thanks .... am I allowed to open these missions in editor at all? If so can you point me in direction of tutorial please? Cheers

Yes, in the community unless the author specifies through license, or states something its ok overall,

the main rule of thumb is you can edit it, look at it, play it, just dont reupload, redistribute without the above, and calling it your own.

 My very own 😉

Just a note i plan on redoing this tutorial in the near future as some things changed on how i

do things with my videos, plus my voice got a bit deeper, must be an age thing 😄

anyways any questions dont hesitate to ask, maybe best pm me as to not derail the thread's subject here,

and or ask in the comments on the video. Cheers!

[dragonflyfan 10]

Thanks for all your help gents ... I’ll check it all out this week while I’m on leave. 👍

[seacaptainjim 67]

There's a few BIS mp missions that are alright for a bit of practice and can be played COOP or PvP

Support 05 Stratis
Support 04 Radpoli

Support 06 Katalaki

Support 08 Pyrgos

Support 08 Sofia

 

And you could try
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2242455239 which was made for 30 or so people but would work with just 2 pilots!

 

[dragonflyfan 10]

That KP Support is the best mission I’ve played in years .... thanks guys. 😜👍

[dragonflyfan 10]

Guys, I’m having a crack at modding the KP Support mission and I’ve got a couple of questions about the AI Pawn modules. 
 

Im wanting the AI soldiers to choose to ride in motorised/mechanised/armour ... is that something I can force in the attributes?
