Hi we are =UKTF= a tactical realism clan for ARMA2 What do we do? =UKTF= specializes in realistic PVP and co-op for combined ops, one of the most significant features of the clan is the fact we usually operate with NO RESPAWN. We implement British tactics and usually play with British Armed Forces. One other significant feature is our use of Media reporters in missions to fully document battles. An example setup might be AI populace on both sides all NON combatants 4-6 civi/taliban 10-12 British troops with air support This is far more realistic to the sorts of battles troops face today and members playing as Taliban will have to be very mature. ROE will be that no one can be shot unless carrying a weapon, which will allow Taliban players to choose when to attack. Equally UAV support may be on task for British troops so they will have to be very careful. British troops can arrest civi/Taliban players if they are deemed to have been shooting or performing an action like planting an IED. The whole aim of this is immersion, not knowing who the enemy are and when they will strike. This is quite possibly the most demanding experience you will encounter in ArmA as with strict ROE you can be attacked at any time What mods do you use?? We operate with two main mods currently ACE2 ACRE we believe these to be vital to the clan, with the advanced communications that ACRE provide and additionally ACE we can get as close to realism as possible. Why join? We are a tight knit community that is already established in Project Reality and now moving to ArmA2. Our members all have a background in arma and are keen to get back into it. We are recruiting over 18s from the UK and Europe because of the timezone.

Calling all clans!!! UKTF is hosting a large and dynamic PVP campaign which we are looking for all clans to get involved with. We are looking for clans to join as part of the Takistani and NATO forces. A full sign up sheet will be on this post soon so watch this space!!!! Below are the details for the operation checkout uktf-clan.co.uk for more details!! Operation Eagle Eye Situation: Over the past month NATO relations with Takistan have fallen flat after a unit of British contractors were beheaded on live TV in central Zargabad. This sparked international outrage and prompted international sanctions on Takistan. Since then there has been a more worrying development with SCUD missiles cited on the borders of the country aiming at NATO bases around the GULF. An Operation has been drafted in the event that the United Kingdom Tactical Force along with NATO allies is to be sent to deal with the threat. Mamuse Sikala leader and ruler of Takistan is a top priority and in the operation all effort will be made to deal with him and his forces. Ground attacks will be brought into motion after significant NATO bombing campaigns have taken place. Execution: The first stages of the operation will take place on 31/07/2011 SUNDAY AT 7.30PM where NATO and UKTF forces will strike key bases around the country to weaken the regime. Operations will continue every SUNDAY until Mamuse and his Allies are defeated.

There are many types of realism groups out there and I agree with Rob some are suited for different types of players. For example UKTF is the only main group to do PVP simulation where combat is not competitive but implements realistic force ratios, civilians and the media. Im sure you guys are a good group and even more reason for me to suggest you get involved in some joint operations with us to see what you think to our style of gaming. Best of luck to you guys hope you go far Checkout www.uktf-clan.co.uk if your interested cheers Free

Recently UKTF have established set sections so that when you join you will be assigned to a section of your choosing complementing a role you want. (subject to requirement) We are building a true community where the section you train with will always be the one you fight with. You will know how everyone in your section operates and train as a team in every session. The idea behind this is that your squad is a personal team. YOUR MEN that you will fight with as a unit in every operation. We are currently recruiting for a second section SABRE and are looking for Squad Leader JTAC Alpha Team leader AT rifleman AR rifleman Medic Bravo Team leader AR rifleman AT rifleman Marksman If you believe you have what it takes to operate in a player vs player environment, with news teams real civilians and ambient combat simulation. Then this is the clan for you. Additionally we are now looking for dedicated pilots. You will need to be UK based and have the following skills. The ability to operate calmly under heavy fire and exfil from mountain tops and dense forests. (extreme conditions) Be able to strike at pinpoint accuracy on danger close fire missions. To fly as a force of presence against enemy forces. To be able to act as recon for the entire force. Everyone relies on the aircore to deliver when the ground troops are in trouble and YOU must rise to that. IF you are interested please check out www.uktf-clan.co.uk Below are images from our recent training operation Weapons familiarization UNN NEWS REPORT UKTF still remains to be the ONLY clan to have a dedicated news team that follows and reports a non bias account of all UKTF operations. On Sunday UKTF and UN forces will provide aid to remote villages in Takistan and our news teams will be there to capture the action. Below is a new video from UNN.

NEW JOINT OPERATIONS!! UKTF is looking to branch out to the community. With our playing style we are calling for large and realistic CO-OP clans to get in touch to try our style of gaming. We have already teamed up with 2 Para and the 16th AA In large scale operations and we would like to invite anyone else out there to these games. A run down of our type of gaming Reality simulation There are many Co-op clans out there that play realistically and simulation styled missions. However fighting AI can only be realistic to a degree. In UKTF we strive to create a total simulation environment with ambient AI and civilian players. we incorporate Real News teams in operations that capture the action from the perspective of the media. Something that has never been fully expanded upon in ArmA. Standard scenario 2 British sections 1 Airborne unit 1 UAV team 1 news team Insurgents 4-6 players 2-3 civilians IF your clan wants to get involved in these events pm me or checkout www.uktf-clan.co.uk 1 section Alpha overwatch insurgents

After the majority of our posts were deleted you will now have to check our website for all combat news.. UKTF are now recruiting a second section for the clan that will comprise of Squad Leader JTAC Alpha Team leader AT rifleman AR rifleman Medic Bravo Team leader AR rifleman AT rifleman Marksman Recently operations wise UKTF have beaten back an insurgency in Takistan and it is moving into its final stages as a conflict. As the clan grows in number we are now also looking for AIRMEN and ARMORED personnel. We would also recommend UNIT 19 if any other clan is looking for temporary Armored units. Thinking of joining checkout www.uktf-clan.co.uk Teamspeak details 85.236.100.27:14797 UKTF are committed to being the only PVP simulation gaming clan that can offer a true to life representation of combat situations where ROE and force ratio is apparent. Also with embedded journalists there is always a non bias view of the battlefield. For an example see the link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teHUxq3DcfQ&feature=player_embedded We are looking for large and well organised CO-OP clans for joint operations. If interested please pm me or check our website. Cheers Free 1 section posing with a dead insurgent A UAV captures an intense firefight

Recently we have now set a solid structure that all recruits must now complete and pass. It is not information overload but it is key that you learn everything in these training sessions before fighting. BASIC In BASIC a recruit will learn NAVIGATION, COMBAT MANEUVERS, CQB, SPEED TESTING and ASSAULTING. NAVIGATION Navigation is set in 3 parts. Standard orientation, (Basically knowing where you are and plotting a route) Combat navigation, Spotting a contact reporting it correctly giving the squad leader, team leader enough info to make the right decisions Air support, Artillery management. Being able to plot a course for support by fire. CQB Learning how to deal with close quarter battle in urban environments. Learning about Angle and how to defeat the enemy with minimal casualties. SPEED TESTING In this part of the course you will be required to take a speed test where a rang of targets will be presented. In teams of two you will move through the course shooting the targets that the UKTF Staff ask for. An example would be 1,3,2 as the targets are in groups of threes. After completion of this course there will be a number of questions that you will need to answer correctly. If you do you will be a qualified member of UKTF IN other news UKTF forces take down a significant tribal leader and his milita in Rasman

Calling all clans and players The aim is to get as many people/clans as possible to do the following campaign... There are many PVP groups and leagues set up for arma2, however there are none like this. What i aim to do is a realistic dynamic PVP campaign involving as many people as possible to really push the boundaries of this game. The campaign will be set in Takistan and every week a battle will be fought between the Nato forces and the Takistani military. However these battles are decided will effect the next mission. For example If the Nato forces capture an airfield they will have air superiority over the campaign. I would like to run this similarly to the Project Reality tournament, however this will be more simulation oriented. A few rules/features NO respawn Press reporters realistic battles e.g not even. The war in Iraq was not fair and war is never fair, so the Takistani forces will be significantly worse off. Political impact. e.g too many Nato forces KIA could lead to the end of the war. This is not for the faint hearted it will be the most challenging environment for players yet. Every action by commanders on the ground will have significant impacts. This campaign will require more than just winning battles. Like i mentioned above loss of life is a significant aspect for the NATO forces, whereas to the Takistanis the loss of leadership (dicatatorship) could spell a quick end to the campaign. So far this is very much an idea and i will need help from the community/ clans etc to get this rolling. However i believe this could be a significant step towards more realistic PVP Any questions PM me or post in the thread I will send you TS details Thanks for reading :) Free here is a mock up of the campaign map.... Uploaded with ImageShack.us

As an Update the UKTF dedicated server is now up on ARMA2 ARROWHEAD all are welcome we are recruiting players over 18 who are mature and willing to play with no respawn :)

you clearly havent played with good players then

UK timezone

For all who have so far taken interest the meeting is tonight at 6pm on UKTF teamspeak. If you do not have the details please message me

Im only going to do this with people i can trust. Like i said the battles wont be long anyway It is very easy to see people who will fuck about and tbh they wouldnt want this anyway

Im not just aiming for PVP players this is for everyone to try. I guarantee most missions will be over within an hour anyway. If a battle is taking a long time then there are issues with commanders strategy. I expect most battles to be over in 30mins to 1hour cheers tho I appreciate it :P

Good debates... I LIKE DEBATES lol Helo not gonna lie i havent read all of that yet but i will do. Regarding mods this is something that needs to be discussed in detail with the people that want to be part of this. NOTHING is set in stone all people need to do is participate before we start this debate over teamspeak War is not fair that is true. Im going to outline the same thing i have said alot HOPEFULLY everyone will understand it this time. The whole idea of NO respawn and set assets is that it is strategical to the extreme and grants a true perspective. Every member is an asset. every squad every tank and helicopter. The whole idea of this type of gameplay is to conduct warfare realistically. IF A COMMANDER MAKES A MISTAKE in real life HE DOSENT GET A SECOND CHANCE. Thats the point and that is war... That is the reason there shall be no respawn. Mods wise its not an issue. There may be none at all. THis needs to be discussed. Everyone who has so far said they want to join plz PM me so i can get u connected :)

"the only way this would work (I think) is in an actual league where Both sides are on TS and can actually add to the game" thats the whole point this is a CAMPAIGN so it will continue whatever happens in one battle will change the next one. I make each mission AFTER the other so i can adapt certain parameters regarding the first mission. Once the teams are sorted there will need to be ALOT of organisation and teamwork between everyone. TRAINING days for all members of one side to make sure everyone is working together properly.. ---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ---------- BTW, you mean no respawn in one, SINGLE mission or permanent death for whole campaign? If second options, I'd think about it twice: after few actions there may be no players left. There can always be reinforcements way: death players are forbidden to play for etg. 2 missions, then they join back as fresh meat. lol no for the single mission!! not the entire campaign tht would be madness. I am open to ALL players and yes i am very much looking at large serious co-op clans. I am very much in touch with HC atm but the point is this is for everyone multiple clans is what i am going for ---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ---------- ASSETS will be another main point. Commanders will have a certain amount of deployable units in total. IF they are destroyed they are gone. E.G if in one mission Takistan deploys 5 tanks and they are KIA they are gone for the remainder of the campaign

I do realize this is not for everyone but i am after that small minority lol. It changes everything and puts huge pressure on the commanders and squad leaders. Any1 in command will start to understand what its like in real life. From a perspective ofc.. This is for that hardcore bunch in this community and they are the guys im after.. :P ---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ---------- hop on to UKTFclan.co.uk for teamspeak details register and i will give you ts password so anyone can actually speak to me.

I do find it quite funny how everyone seems to think NO respawn is ridiculous the idea is to have 64 players regarding mods ACE and ACRE would be used. There are many things that can be discussed regarding this however it needs the interest in the first place. A meeting will be held with all clan leaders/ players to discuss what is plausible and what is not @smookie i laugh at your comment lol, like i said before this is not competitive in the same way as tournaments are usually conducted. Yes i get your point about co-op players being more willing however this is for everyone to try and enjoy.. its very easy to mock an idea when you havent seen it.... to ur PS this is something new and different yes there are similar ideas out there il grant you that. If 2-3 big clans got involved with something like this that is all it takes... @76 your apsolutly right about PVP and the exhilaration fighting real people is awesome. This is not a game its a simulation its about time people started realizing this... ---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ---------- SAS your missing the point. This is about real strategy with real assets NOT AI the campaign will be fought in a series of battles not continuous. NO respawn is an important factor. In real life you cant replace lives and units just like that. It is vital that there is no respawn it changes how the battle is fought entirely and i wish people understood that.... ---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ---------- Regarding being able to support this sorting out the server is no issue we have a dedicated teamspeak for command and control. Im not new to the idea of large scale organization. In PR bf2 i organised a separate realistic tournament with 8 clans that was continuous for 6 weeks....

Community's there to be created lol this isnt about whos the best or competition between clans its for the community to take part in and enjoy The problem with PVP in arma is the rivalry and indifference between other clans. If something has set rules outside of clan vs clan its an entirely different situation ---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ---------- Here is an example of how the reporting could work this was done in a PVP game but was really a test by no means the finished product... :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Uty-ge_Io&feature=player_embedded
