zukov 490 Posted March 27 After eleven years is time for BI to adds a heavy vest to an entire OPFOR faction. Is clear that for developers OPFor is a just a placeholder but this is minimum for the base game (for don't say tha pistol holster completely absent). The entire faction goes in battle "naked" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats it matter> create your own opfor with the tac vest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OPFOR seem pretty balanced to me here. Infact the Katiba is argubly a better rifle than the MX series. And for a long time(until WS marshal) NATO had no APC that had an ATGM,CSAT had the KAMYSH. Also note the Angara commanders weapon. Pretty devistating. The quilin with a gatling...and the Kajman,flying tank. CSAT soldiers have amazing explosive resistance too with the uniform. All in All CSAT have an edge over NATO i feel. Ultimately they each have their areas of strength. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zukov 490 Posted April 6 BI deliberately doesn't want that we have fun with the OPFOR faction, the reasons are unknown, but that is. Just look the Specnazs in game, literally a joke. When finally we had russian forces they are naked and without veichles. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just look the Specnazs in game, literally a joke. When finally we had russian forces they are naked and without veichles. spetsnaz are special operations units. IRL they use certain transport helo's,already ingame as much as real assets can be. they use a modified version of the In game Ifrit and GAZ Tigr. They arent designed for conventional warfare and so vics have no place for them. Russia isnt the main enemy ingame CSAT are and are prodominantly Chinese. Besides that,the devs grew up in the soviet union. They are biased towards that system(who the F wouldnt be?) Regardless,that doesnt influence their game design. Their OPFOR side is very much fleshed out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle M. 109 Posted April 6 OPFOR has been pretty decent since OFP. CSAT infantry don't need armored vests, because their uniforms have ballistic protection. I find their equipment quite cool and effective. I'm glad they went a different way with Arma 3. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zukov 490 Posted April 20 If you are happy with the "scarecrows from outer space" good luck! just a reminder the atrocious Ka 48 Kajiman has the same cockpit from Apache in Arma 2, 11 year ago, devs said was a placeholder.....

I wouldn't know about some "scarecrows from outer space" but whatever 😄 And about the cockpit. I don't mind the fact, that they reused it's layout from Arma 2's Apache for Mi-48 Kajman. It's a cool design and fun to play despite this. OPFOR has always had pretty decent armory at their disposal in Arma series. CSAT's unique uniforms and gear in Arma 3 may seem weird for some, I can see your point on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zukov 490 Posted April 23 this is CSAT for Tanoa! this is made with stuff inside the vanilla game ( a part the camoface, for strange reason BI has excluded asian characters) I had wanted something closer to the Indonesian kopassus (not to mention the Berets that don't fit for asian heads there is a texture glicth easily solvable ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zukov 490 Posted May 1 i stay on topicwill there ever be a chance to change the black texture for the raven vest with the CSAT ones? At least (even if only via mod) we have something for the ofpor faction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
