It pleases me greatly to see your return, CWR2 was the definitive Cold War mod back in Arma 2. I hope for great things. Forgive me because it's been a while, but given that your current focus seems to be the US and Soviet Union, what will be your artistic direction? Will you opt for the more renowned M88 and KLMK oversuits? Or will they use M69 uniforms? For the US, what vehicles do you think will make the crossover? There are assets even within this more focused approach to the old mod that exist nowhere else in the community or do so with older tech, such as the M60, M163, and AH-1F (I did see your previous answer on the cobra) Lastly, while the desire to have as few dependencies is a wise one, there does tend to be issues with crossmod compatibility. Given that this era is much more piecemeal in regards to equipment in the modscene right now, it seems highly likely that this would be played with RHS or GM assets, and more often this rears its ugly head in regards to vehicle Vs vehicle combat, is this something your team is thinking about? Thank you for your time. It's great to see you back.

I have no idea if you guys have any liaisons or such connected to the Arma Cold Warriors hub discord but there's a variety of capable hands that hang out there. Your project would be welcomed in there. -

LAMBS Improved Danger.fsm

This has updated a lot recently so I may be late in the game. Is there any possible way to make it so that suppressive fire doesn't use ammo? The functionality is amazing but a side effect of this is that the AI can run out of ammo in one engagement, even a small one! I'm currently working around this in my missions with more ammo bearers, but it's not a perfect solution. -

An amazing example of a modder doing BIs work. Why the AI has been allowed to deteriorate over the years is beyond me. -

Certainly something can be done in that department. I see your turrets mod was released, I'm glad you find such value in this task. The AI are important to every person's experience. While many disregard AI changes as unimportant, when I've introduced friends to great projects, they generally agree the new experience brought new life. Your mods have created that as well in their opinion. I'm especially interested to see what you can do about tank and helicopter AI. If formation AI for tanks can be renovated, you will bring so many more mission possibilities that weren't viable before. Your work is great. Keep it up, we're rooting for you. -
I think that definitely catches the spirit of the PCML without having it subjected to the duties of cheaper, but none the less efficient AT weapons. It always felt like a hole in NATO's arsenal which was odd given that 20 years earlier, it didn't exist.

If anything, M72s should be given to regular troops. It was for this reason that the M72 was created, to space out the AT power within a rifle squad. At the time of its creation it was not the principle tank killer. It was never meant to be. The M67 Recoilless Rifle was. It has continued to exist in this matter. The M47 Dragon and later Dragon II replaced the M67. Then the M47 Dragon was of course replaced by the FGM-148 Javelin. Since we tried to replace the M72 with the M136, we ended up doubling back to the M72 because an infantryman could carry two of them and the M136's firepower was too much for urban combat. At least, the additional power didn't overpower the need to be able to carry more than one. Why am I going into this in so much depth? Well I guess if we want to pertain to authenticity, we have to know why these weapons exist and why they're deployed like they are. As is, the M72 is deployed like an overpowered grenade launcher, useful for light bunker busting, urban combat, and destroying technicals and damaging armored cars/MRAPs and in this regard it would best be used in the hands of infantry regulars. The MAAWS on the other hand, or the Carl Gustav, has had a very speckled past in the US Army. It's essentially been pulled into service when it was needed. Mostly as a reloadable bunker buster, but with new ammunitions, also a potential anti-tank weapon. The most recent reintroduction of the Carl Gustav is for special forces teams in Afghanistan who get jumped by insurgents with RPG-7s who engage at 1000 meters, out of range of small arms, and use the rocket's self destruction feature to make improvised airburst munitions. Long story short, my advice is to just make an infantryman for each anti-tank weapon. Basically Rifleman - LAW, Rifleman - PCML, Rifleman - MAAWS, etc. etc. All these weapons can coexist with each other, and if we go into the Marine Corps arsenal, the list only gets longer, so having seemingly redundant weapon systems isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The LAW shouldn't replace the PCML, but it should be prevalent. The reason why it has persisted is because it's cheap rocket launcher firepower.

Jagdgeschwader replied to vme_cycle6's topic in ARMA 3 - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
Apologies, when I mentioned "high quality equipment" that many mod authors don't even bother with, I was referring to the fact that the PLA here is represented as a complete faction with supporting assets, armor, aircraft, and a wide variety of infantry. Many mods skimp out on the vehicle aspect, where as the VME mod seems to be going the extra mile here. -
Now this is the shit.

Just made an account but I've been following this mod's progress for quite a while now. Now correct me if I'm wrong @hcpookie, but is a release in the near future? It's almost become unbearable to see what looks like some high quality equipment that a lot of faction mods don't even bother with, and if I'm not mistaken, they're not available anywhere! D: Don't keep us waiting too long! We're itching to put China in their full glory on the field. And great work by the way to everybody on the VME team, this is some work to be proud of. -
You guys have a mod that makes ArmA 3 that much more playable for a lot of us.
