Variable

Until the fatigue change, that was about the only game on earth that allowed you to carry such weight. Do you realise that with that much stuff on you wouldn't be able to stand up on your feet? Let alone fight? That was a broken system and now it's fixed, thanks to BIS. Last Thursday (stable) we were spotted in open grounds by a superior force and had to disengage. Two of us were too heavy and had to ditch some of their equipment so they could keep up. That was a great GAMEPLAY moment that would not be possible without the new fatigue system. Suddenly any curve in the ground meant more than it used to be and we had to carefully plan our movement and stoops to catch our breath until we reached cover. It was great! Remember that Nazi radar station assault scene in Saving Private Ryan? Before they attacked they unpacked and took only what's necessary, ammo and grenades. Now the game demands you to recreate such planning and thinking and this is wonderful! BIS! You made the game even more Arma! Don't get let down! Keep the faith!

Dropbox link seems inactive.

Psycho, can you please do something with getting burned when near a fire? It's really excessive and more than one mission maker told me that's the reason he's not using this script... :(

VoiceOfArma, I want to encourage you on making such a campaign if you feel you are familiar with the details. Let me know if you need help in testing, I'll make time for that. Variable, from Tel-Aviv :)

Yes pleeeeease! missions with mortar flaring are awesome.

Thanks, reuploading!

I also think the sway and fatigue in the stable branch are very good. I hope BIS wasn't scared off by the inevitable complaints of some of the players. Even they will adjust. Keep the faith BIS!

Does it really seem more likely to you that an american warship sailing in a war-zone was attacked by Israel on purpose rather by mistake? What part of Israel admitted the attack was done in error and apologized did you not understand?

Israel admitted the attack was a mistake, so how the hell can it be a false flag operation? The ship was offered assistance once the IDF realised it was an American ship. Well of course, if it's Israel then it must have been some kind of conspiracy, right? You know, Palestinians are trying to kill me and my daughters on a daily basis, and I don't hate them as much as some of the people here hate Israel. That's fascinating.

You are clearly just voice nonsense you've heard without exercising any form of criticism, as long as it is anti-Israeli. I don't know what palmares mean, but what false flags attacks are you talking about? If you are going to mention the USS Liberty attack I suggest that before posting check the facts, so we could have a somewhat reasonable discussion, as much as it is hard with Israel-haters such as you.

That would be awesome!

I'm glad we agree. However, you must acknowledge the problematic Palestinian situation. A divided leadership, Hamas in Gaza and the Fatah in the west bank, which complicates the chance for a productive dialogue.

Untrue. The fact is, the "disengagement plan" was considered in Israel as a big success because it proved that Israel is capable to dismantle settlements also on the west bank. It lead Israeli PM Ulmert (who took over after Sharon, the previous PM died) to actually devise the new "Convergence Plan" that had most west bank settlements evacuated. The plan was scrapped because of the second Lebanon war, but the motivation to keep on unilaterally converging on the '67 lines was strong. But maybe it's good that the tides has changed, or else we might had to defend against rockets and mortar attacks from the west bank as well, as happened in Gaza.

No, the israelis are the bad guys!!!! The conflict is very complex, blaming just one side feels ridiculous, right?

Thanks RiE, a lof of us feel that the recent changes to the game are going in a very welcomed direction, and are in line with the Arma spirit. Great job and keep the faith!

Sounds great! I love the use of other nationalities, and the no respawn no VAS. Looking forward to trying this especially since we loved your missions for Arma 2! I'll let you know how it went. Might take a while since it's for a low player count and we usually a lot more than 4.

Thanks Robalo. Will you post about it when you do or just release it on PwS? Would appreciate a notification anyway for the sake of people who are not on PwS.

That's awesome LJ, we are all very relieved to see you are maintaining the mod and keeping it updated, Arma is just not the same without JSRS...

In Arma 2 there is fatigue increase for AI and player when bullets impact near them. This might have been fixed and reintroduced in Arma 3, but I highly doubt BIS added suppression effect for passing by bullets without making a marketing buzz around it, because it's a great and long requested feature.

Are you sure about that? Is it just suppression occurred when bullets impact in close proximity to the unit as was the case in Arma 2, or also bullets that pass by in the air?

LJ, glad to see you are back!!! few issues I noticed: Gunfire is terribly loud when spectating. Theres a whiz sound that correspond to the engine RPM when driving the hunter, the Ifrit and all trucks. Chem-lights emit a periodic strange sound, they should not have sound at all. I'm not sure about this one but when someone throws a grenade it sounds like a grenade landed next to you. Could you check all that?

I can only tell that in RL training I was taught to shoot while exhaled. I was never told to hold my breath.

I think you are mixing two characters from the book - Terry Mackall, the tank commander, and Daniel McCafferty, the LA class attack submarine commander. Great book... it's a must for mission makers especially.

Exactly that. Great job on the new fatigue and weapon sway BIS!

Moreover, what happened in the Gaze strip after Israel evacuated? a Rocket launch pad and a terrorist heaven was formed. You would think that the Palestinians would try to encourage Israel to make more unilateral withdrawals like this one, but no, they would just terrorize any place the Israelis withdraw from. Which proves they don't care about territories, the essence of their struggle is different. Really, if Israel is answered by rockets when it withdraws, what do you expect it to conclude? Don't think that I'm advocating this, I think it is pointless as you, but when you are constantly targeted, you have to do something in order to protect yourself, yes, even at the unfortunate price of lives of the enemy civilians. However, these incursions usually end with some Egyptian negotiation that leads for a fragile cease fire that lasts for as much as hopefully possible. Some quiet is not much, but still better than drips of rockets.Yes, on one side you have terrorists aiming rockets at civilian population centers and on the other you have retaliatory airstrikes that try to hit the rocket-firers and not the bystanders. But the only outcome of any of this is dozens of dead Palestinian children for every dead Israeli. After enough deaths, and enough years, the motivations and loyalties become increasingly pointless, and it's just intertial terroristic violence on both sides. Are you falling into Hamas short term propaganda tactics? If Hamas would really make a strategic shift towards the two state solution, than they would have rewritten their charter which say, among other hatered that "Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors", THEN you would see Israelis changing their opinions towards the two state solution (a solution I'm personally favoring).
