So..aparently they taking their time to add roadmap stuff on live client.I mean, before major patches included bunch of stuff from roudmap , 5-7, and now its just one(supressors) .and it took them nearly 5 mounths and counting.. Could that be because most of devs moved to A4 , or are they simply stalling ?

I hope you are right

Well, Armed vehicles, vehicles with suplies, IFW's, helicopters, A4 tanks and jets should.They just need to overhaul damage model.Idealy it could be like GHPC or Warthunder, but sadly, I dont think it is possible

I just re watched their old Future of Arma release stream, and in the very end the MAN himself, the CEO, Marek Španěl, said, that "ARMA 4 is worked for quite some time". The stream was nearly two years ago, and it makes me curious..why didn't they show us something from A4 ? Was that statement about A4 complete BS, or are they working on it secretly, just showing public Reforger as a filler, distraction from A4 ?

Not really. IF A4 is based on reforger, (A4 is reforger plus singleplayer content and bunch of cold war era assets) then yeah, but if it is separate project set in different setting , like pre Vietnam war or somewhere in 2035 then they have to start almost from scrach.

well..BTR is amphibious as well as incoming BRDM and LAV

Never gonna happen.Wait for A4

I am still not sure , what setting they might choose. I think, because of russian invasion of Ukraine, they might be scared to show something from current period, just because someone might use their content as fake news, as it happened in the past. Still, I'd love to see similar to Arma2 content as it was perfect setting. Arma 3 is kinda meh because of near future setting, with some scifi weapons and vehicles from different countries.RHS and CUP fixes that. Arma/OFP always had Abrams,T72,BMP, Bradleys, classic M16 and Ak74s , so I hope they stay with it Arma4

So. I just found out alternative Reforger meaning. Turns out Reforger is not just "test bed for Enfusion and Arma4", but it was actual term during Cold War era annual military exercise conducted by NATO , meaning "REturn of FORces to GERmany"

what?

We can only guess what developers have in their mind, but maybe these ideas will inspire them for the future content, if they'll ever be read. 1) Setting - late cold war - nowadays, somewhere like '89 to 2000 , which would lead an enormous variety of vehicles and weaponry. 2) Both singleplayer and multiplayer to satisfy most of people needs. 3) Both simple 2d editor (A2 is good example) and enhanced 3d editor like A3 has. 4) DLC - various nations , for example British Armed Forces, Bundeswehr, Pla, Iraq, etc. - each with their own vehicles and weaponry. 5) Enhanced difficulty options - editable AI accuracy , enemy markings, simplified and enhanced vehicle controls, 6) Radar simulation. 7) Modular vehicle and structure damage. Feel free to criticise and suggest your ideas. I wonder what else of the community thinks

Mindset of a clever gentleman

go play something else.it is that simple

Arma is not about small maps

What do you mean we dont need EDEN ? That is main part why arma lives that long .SDK is not the same

Apparently BIS are taking their time to keep up their words, all is abstract, no strict details for the future. We are still missing most crucial parts from Ground support, like AI driving and direct commanding, promised RFI video is now weeks old, mostly forgotten by many, and once I ask about some ETA for that, I get one answer - soon (TM), what means nothing. With this pace, we are going to see A4 in 2030 , if not later. Also, version 1.0 of Reforger is getting closer, and their statement of "A lot of content in version 1.0" is not believable. There is slight chance, that they are working on it secretly, but that chance is almost none, same as their work on A4 alongside Reforger.

I am waiting for A4. Reforger is not my type of cookie

The point is , Arma series was always about complex infantry/ vehicle warfare, and turning it to consoles leads for simplified controls , longer development of content, even unexpected problems, which could not even be solved (as I currently see in lack of content recently). I understand, that consoles might bring additional profit for developers, but they just might kill Arma as a whole.For example, why was Arma 3 such a success ? Not for consoles, but for complex mechanics, huge content, editor and modding. As a hardcore military simulation fan, soldier and PC gamer, I think, Arma should have stuck to PC platform

we dont need simlified features. its not an arcade game

Good job.They really must be more open with entire community I wonder what response you had

You can always give me 30 $ if you have spare ones. I need to pay my taxes and buy lollypop for my niece

I suppose you wanted to say " years"

Such a naive optimist 🙂

Yes, MAYBE 🙂

Yes for all of that, but I suppose Its above BIS capabilities. Even though I would love somewhat DCS or warthunder level of gameplay and features. Don't mean to disrespect, but I am not sure if they could work out the code , engine optimisation ,level of detail and mechanics in one product. We don't even know what are their plans for A4.I hope I am wrong.I guess we have to wait and see
