The 15th finished our last CAX of the year last Sunday and we will be going on Holiday stand down on December 15th. When we come back from break in January we will start another series of CAX's to prepare for a deployment to an as of yet unannounced warzone. We will be holding one more "fun" event for the year next Sunday (12/18/11) in the form of a race/scavenger hunt across Chernarus. We have also made some major changes to our unit structure recently. We have closed down 3rd Plt, Alpha Co (Force Recon) and most of it's previous members have moved to 2nd Plt, Charlie Co (LAR). We have also closed our Engineering detachment. Also, for the first time in our units history we have opened a two man scout/sniper team to be headed up by former Force Recon, Sgt Koch. And last but not least we have reopened the mortar team. There have recently been some major changes to our officer corps as well. Capt Penny has taken over as MEU CO, LtCol Starck is the new MEU XO, and SgtMaj Rittenhouse is the new MEU SgtMaj. Capt Leber has taken over the infantry detachment as commanding officer of Echo Co, 2ndLt Steel is the new commander of 1st Plt, Echo Co (Rifles), GySgt Drumheller is 1st Plt, Echo Co's new 1stSgt, 1stLt Sledge is the new commander of 4th Plt, Echo Co (Weapons), and 2ndLt Gambino is the new commander of 2nd Plt, Delta Co (Tanks). As always, we are actively recruiting.

Americans didn't want the M16 in Vietnam because they had a ton of technical issues and soldiers weren't trained properly to use them. The introduction of the A1 and issued cleaning kits slowly fixed most of these issues. My favorite loadout: M249 ACOG M9 4x 200 round M249 tracer 5x 15 round 9mm 2x M67 frag grenade 2x white smoke I don't get to carry it in our official events but I carry it as often as I can on our recruiting server. I've always referred to the ArmA2 M249 ACOG as a fully automatic DMR. With tracers rounds it's so easy to walk your rounds on target. As long as you can rest the weapon on something you can dominate out to 800 meters.

We have opened up recruiting to pilots and corpsmen. So you can now join straight to any available pilot or corpsman billet without having to serve the mandatory thirty days in the rifle platoon first. We are also in need of LAV crewmen (0313), machine gunners (0331) and assault men (0351). There are several other billets open so check our website for availability. As always we are recruiting riflemen (0311). With Operation: Emerald Beacon complete we have returned to Chernarus for a series of CAX's (Combined Arms Exercise). It's nice getting back in the woods! We will more than likely have to return to Takistan as the situation there has continued to deteriorate since the bulk of American forces pulled out. 15th Lingor Insurgency is complete and running on our recruiting server. Just filter "15th" to find it and join us for some coop. The only required mods are Lingor (obviously), ACE and ACRE. Our TS info can be found on the first page of this thread.

There probably isn't much you can do about it with your machine.

Operation: Emerald Beacon has been successfully completed and the 15th has completed operations in Takistan for the time being. Upcoming unit wide events will be a series of CAX's in Chernarus and possibly Lingor. Our youtube page will soon be updated to include a play list of every mission (12 total) in Operation: Emerald Beacon. We have also added new Insurgency missions to our recruiting server that will be running 24 hours a day. They have been edited in house to include USMC units and assets. The missions are: Fallujah Insurgency Zargabad Insurgency Takistan Insurgency Isla Duala Insurgency (coming soon) Lingor Insurgency (coming soon) As always, we are actively recruiting.

Happy birthday 15thMEU(SOC) Realism Unit! It was four years ago that Col Savage and Col Schultz (then 1stLt's) opened our doors. On 20JUN07, we acquired website hosting. On 21JUN07, at 1247 hours, we brought our website online and opened our forum for new registrations. Since then more than 500 members have passed through our halls. Congrats to all who made it possible. News from Operation Emerald Beacon: The 15th now controls Faruz Abad and the MSR north all the way to Rasman. We have recently established FOB Dragon east of Faruz Abad to conduct operations into rebel held southern Takistan. A rebel armor column assaulted into the eastern provinces last night catching the Takistani loyalists off-guard. USAF A-10s were dispatched and made quick work of the rebel formations but not before heavy casualties were inflicted on the loyalists. This, once again, proves that air power alone will not be enough to deny the enemy freedom of movement. The strategic threat such incursions pose is limited, as last night's results show, but public opinion is a completely different battlefield. If the rebels are allowed to perform these types of assaults in the future we will lose this war as a political inevitability. Efforts are underway to identify the greatest concentrations of rebel activity for a possible ground offensive.

I just got a new computer and now sometimes textures won't render or they flicker in and out. It's seems to start after about ten minutes in the game. Video card is a 6850. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We've got several new videos up on our youtube channel. The 15th is quickly gaining ground in northern Takistan. We have set up a base of operations at Rasman airfield and secured the towns of Rasman and Bastam.

Something in your MP script seems to crash my server. Anyone else experience crashes?

Maybe I am just missing something. I didn't think players could set it individually. I thought it was a server setting. How do you set it individually per player?

Has BIS said anything about fixing this? My unit had an even last night and about 90% of our guys couldn't see names when they used space bar. You can imagine how confusing this is with 30+ people in an AO trying to stay in fire teams and carry out mission objectives. This really needs to be fixed.

I don't believe that's the problem. The difficulty is set at the server level. Some people are able to see names and some are not. It also happens to me on other servers that are always set at the same difficulty. One day I'll be able to see names and the next day I will not.

I'd suggest joining a good, active unit. One that trains regularly. A realism unit works well because they are focused on working together and using real world tactics. Two things that generally translate well to ArmA2. Playing with good players is an excellent way to learn this game.

This thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=69893 is on the first page of this forum.

All player skins have a camel back so a mod isn't really needed is it?

In Domination you can parachute to anywhere on the map from the flag at base or the para drop flag that appears in towns after you capture them. And honestly, I haven't played much PvP yet. I've been having alot of fun with coop. I'll have to play more pvp now.

Thats why I say you need to join a good clan. If you are doing coops with your clan and are still dieing then your CO's are doing something wrong or you just aren't very good at this game. I think the reason people die so much in coop is because they are trying to play this game like you would play BF2 or Call of Duty. You can't just run in like Rambo and expect to take out half a platoon by yourself. You have to rely on your team mates to do their job. If you are infantry then you have to wait for armor and air support to clear out enemy army and gun emplacements before moving in to take out enemy infantry. Even then you have to move as a team and use cover and flanking manuevers effectively. As long as I'm playing with my clan and we are working together as a unit and everyone is doing their job we as a unit suffer few casualties. If I die more than once during the taking of one city then either I or my CO's aren't doing their jobs.

You just need to join a clan. You will never see the full potential of this game until you participate in a well organized coop with a good clan. And if you don't have the patience to wait for a chopper then this probably isn't the game for you. PvP in this game is just mediocre at best.

You can then use the number pad to give a general position within that quadrant. For instance 034193-7 would mean you are in the NW portion of the quadrant.

Thanks alot.

Is there a guide available that lists all in game vehicles, aircraft and weapons? thanks.

My game runs at about 30 fps which I can live with. However, after I have been playing for a while I get weird fps drops. It seems to happen mostly in towns. It's during fire fights but not always with alot of stuff going on. I've had it happen when I'm just prone under a bush while the artillery softens up the town before infantry moves in. I'll have a steady 30 fps when suddenly it will dip down to 2-3 fps for a couple seconds. Then it goes back up to 30 fps. It will stutter like this for a couple minutes and then stop and return to a steady 30 fps. I don't have an unecissary programs running in the background. I'm sorry if this has been brought up before. I wasn't sure how to explain my issue in the search function. Thanks for any help.
