Honestly it would only be eye candy for licking distance. Arma already is not a good runner as it is even with gitgud GPUs, and at functional distance what we currently have is perfectly fine. The increase in space and performance hit would not be worth any increase in visual fidelity, especially since most people I know who don't have god-tier PCs run on medium tex quality for performance reasons (some of us aren't in a financial position to acquire a better GPU, Tim...…).

We also have 727s (labeled as M16A2 carbines b/c markings and most ppl don't care about AR minutia), and all of our pre-RIS ARs and AKs are still LLM compatible thanks to barrel clamps. Plus they look snazzy. There's also a limited selection of IBAs and PASGT vests, and a lot of the older stuff has been reworked and made loved again A1 w/ grenade launcher currently absent; didn't have time to fit it in before the latest CUPdate, but if you don't mind things breaking on occasion, dev builds are publicly available

Yeah, and while I'd normally agree with that sentiment @cu3b4ll, some people are bothered by having an optic on their gun that wasn't released until 2000, or 1993/97 if you want to count the early Comp models (Comp in 93, ML in 97). Then again, from a modeling perspective the 2000, 3000, and 5000 are quite literally just tubes with a battery case stuck on, and adding pic-compatible scope rings is a matter of just finding a pair. Plus Aimpoint's discontinued products section offers most of the dimensions to get the scale right.... Funny side note, the Comp was developed as a more compact solution for high-end IPSC shooters sticking Aimpoint 3000s and the like on their handguns, hence the name. So Aimpoint not only invented the red dot, but the first red dot for pistols as well, which ended up being a favorite for combat rifles. Huh 🤣

Yeah but the sound on that one is wrong. Meh, minor detail Also, I wouldn't get too excited about the M16s yet. It's still.... early days in terms of visual quality. -

The update itself is done. For those of you who are impatient (like me) https://pastebin.com/eCtMAXUf No, I don't know when it's going up on WS, I just follow Toadie on twitter -

@wsxcgy Oh you poor innocent, ignorant soul 🤣

Tim, I understand how you feel, but Arma 3 is about shooting stuff and winning, not examining minutia. Good details are a good thing, but when you're actually playing and not just playing soldier Barbie (….....) stuff like that tends to become suddenly less important As far as my own preferences, Colt can't money, Minimi aside FN guns are top-shelf, and success of capitalism relies on actual competition. Besides, dog slap is better reserved for when I remind you about DESERT TIGERSTRIPE

Glad it's coming alone so well! Yeah the ZSh was a fairly big departure from the Altyn, espwcially compared to its predecessors (Maska, K6, Rys). I believe it was the first modern Russian combat helmet to use bulletproof glass for the entire visor rather than having a steel component, as well as shell and ballistic materials and interior guts. I have used a replica of the -2MR from Grey-Shop.ru (an airsoft supplier, really good) and it's a pretty slick piece of kit. Unfortunately it was a friend's and I couldn't keep it 😞 Frankly there are so many versions of the ZSH-1 it could fill it's own mod. Personally I think I'd like to see a plain, non-radio version along with later a couple covers in more common colors (green, khaki, black, flora, emr, snow...) to keep things simple and not have the sort of massive list of possibilities the Altyn currently stands at! No offense OYO, but the Altyn could use a bit of variant reduction at some point...

Queesh, what rock have you been hiding under to not hear about GM until yesterday?????? But yeah as far as CUP's classic weapons goes (and being an official tester I will happily plug), we were given permission for almost all of the stuff from ACEx2. The new M4, A4, and A2 came from that. The A1 was a project by Urban, thought the M203 did miss the release window;its coming next update and has been in dev builds for a couple weeks now (dev builds are now available publicly!). The 727 (which is indeed labeled as m16a2 carbine as per IRL receiver markings, also because its simpler for those who dont care about the minutia of AR15 variants) was done by Dusin as a splice of A2 receiver bits and M4 Carbine everything else with "burst" scratched off and replaced with "auto", and while the 727 specifically was mostly particular to Delta, it can stand in as a reasonable facsimile of a number of A1 and A2-derived carbines used by USSOCOM and US allies throughout the 80s and 90s. Originally the A2 carbine was going to be a burst gun a la XM4, but I pointed out to Dusin that the 727 (which is the specific model per the classname) is full auto. AFAIK, there are currently no plans for a burst XM4 carbine. Lastly, in the grand scheme of things who really gives AF about manufacturer markings. An A2 is an A2 is an A2. It's not like we're reenactors here lol We're glad such an esteemed content creator as DeltaHawk enjoys our work (no shame in you plugging, since you have joined recently to do some textures), ACEx worked their butts off on their myriad models, and we are incredibly fortunate that they have allowed us to inherit them!

Simple, durable utility gloves are timeless...

Just for the record on how fast this got done, the ALICE rigs were finished less than a week ago and the gloves' mesh was finished yesterday Tim is on a roll. I don't wanna spoil what's next, but I will say that there is a natural companion that went with ALICE gear most of the time... Also, thanks a bunch for the pistol belt version. Will go nicely with MPs and the like. Hope that appears for the vests, too
-
Good news everyone, Deltahawk is going rock climbing with friends! At least that's what I think it is. He was mentioning something about gloves, harnesses, and someone named Alice over on Patreon

*Quietly hopes for EMR and Flora camo covers for Altyn and/or ZSh You know, for the fashion-conscious polite person 😁

If I understand correctly, the new magazines will be using the organic BIS magazine proxy system. Combined with CBA A3 it should be compatible out of the box IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, that is -

A couple of screens from the CUP Thread showing off various new items in the #CUPDate. How many new and/or improved things can you find? Not everything is new, though, much of it has been around for several versions! Likewise, this is just the tip of the iceberg for new and/or improved things this version! Wow look at this noob, so sloppy, taking screens in the editor and using editor aid to get that perfect shot CUP is an ongoing community project to port and update the content of Arma: Armed Assault, Arma 2, their expansions, and the terrains and terrain assets of A1, A2, and Arma: Cold War Assault (aka Operation Flashpoint) to ARMA 3 standards of gameplay quality, and over time to improve them to modern Arma 3 standards of visual fidelity as well via the dedicated team of modelers, texture artists, coders, and testers, as well as generous donations from prominent community content creators. We may not have the most perfect attention to detail, and we try not to get lost in the minutia of absolute realism, but if you want to expand your gameplay horizons while still keeping everything about the same as ARMA 3 in terms of authenticity-v-gameplay, CUP is for you! For those who want to take your realism to the next level, we also offer a series of compatibility addons that will help integrate CUP weapons, vehicles, and units into ACE3! If you live under a rock and haven't tried CUP yet, or are insane and removed it for some reason, check out the new update via the Steam Workshop collection or the website. If you want to get in touch with the team for whatever reason, check the thread or join our Discord. Just please be polite and respectful that we're all doing this on our free time out of love.- 6850 replies

That's brave of you xD Speaking of which, did you get my message about the .300 blackout suppressor and how the decimal/period/full-stop was screwing with Arms 3's virtual arsenal organization? -
Since Tim hasn't said anything yet, the SWD goggles are now out, along with a small bonus

Funny sidenote. The… latter one will not be included in CUP for obvious reasons, but here's what I'm talking about when I refer to Dusin as a vertical grip fetishist

Couple more for ya showing off a recent new addition that came in juuuuust before the ending of new data being added that really helps round out the 80s/90s USSOCOM basics, courtesy of team member and verified vertical-foregrip-fetishist Dusin! Also showing off a couple more items both old and new. There's also another new addition near the business end Pre-RIS AR15s that our AKs have been enjoying since last version. A better look at the Oakley specs' improved and much more natural-looking lens width on SSgt Kirby here, as well as the gorgeous CompM2 (Courtesy of aTacticalError with additional textures by @Alwarren and Dusin), and what's that I see on the trigger pack of that "M16A2 Carbine?" Only the 727 for this version, no XM4s or RO777 M4s for now

For some reason it won't let me submit a ticket on the feedback tracker, so I'll post it here instead.
