I never said that getting hit in the chest while wearing plates will leave you completely unharmed, only that it might not kill you trough bullet penetration. I do know know something about firearms/plate carriers, but please you armchair warrior - educate me ArmA 3 does indeed has an problem with the bullets that are being absorbed from the plate carrier not having an effect on the player. There is flinching, but e.g. getting knocked down would be better. The word you're looking for is authentic. You can exprience true combat gameplay which is authentic but not necessarily realistic.

1. ArmA 3 does not claim realism. Go on and check the store page (or the homepage).I challenge you to find anything on the Homepage/store page claiming that ArmA 3 is realistic. 2. It takes 1 hit with 6.5mm to the chest to kill unarmored targets. 3 hits in total to kill a Nato solider with a plate carrier and 4 hits to kill with 5.56mm. Considering they are wearing plate carrier, this is realistic. In real life it would probably even stop a full mag.

Making the mission properly work with AGM might be not as large of an task as might appear. Parameters to disable features like interaction/medical would be a good start. From there on all it would need would be the AGM modules placed on the map (like medical, repair, etc) and AGM Items. I believe I could make your mission somewhat AGM compatible by cutting features that conflict with AGM and adding AGM items. Parameters to disable features would be great already, so I could more easily make an AGM version for me and my friends (non-public ofc.)

I'd love an AGM compatible version aswell! Anyway great mission.

I would say a/c cooled battlesuits are reasonable authentic for the year 2035. But this is going nowhere Oh and wiki I mean the Arma wiki which you can access at the top

And that does matter in ArmA because...? All the ArmA games never took place in our own reality/universe. The Arma games exist in the "Armaverse" (look it up in the wiki). Heck, even Arma 2 hat prototype/not in use weapons. The point is, BI made uniforms that they think could be used in 20 years in the Armaverse and that isn't that unrealistic considering the Armaverse is obiviously based on own universe. I'm pretty sure uniforms/suits that have a cooling unit integrated already exists (thats what does boxes are at the back of the csat uniforms) Now astetically is a whole other topic...

Actually you can. According to the defintion of Oxford Dictionaries: So yes, you could call the uniform design realistic. At least plausible.

While Hazey does make a good point, I think Nou wanted us to find it. I mean; is pretty obvious, isn't it?

Nice find Ghost. Awww :( Edit: According to the tracker, Beta release is scheduled for 28 March 2014

Looks promising! Do you have a roughly ETA for the first public available playable version?

Just download the server software from the Teamspeak website. It's free until 30 slots (if I remember correctly). Make sure you opened the right ports in your router, lower/disable the spam/anti flood protection and you are good to go. Thats what I use if I want to play with friends and acre. Works perfectly.

You missed the bottom of the new Sitrep Go!Go!Go! Get working on the DLC sounds! :P

Don't get your hopes up. The Grogon is most likely a port from the Army of the Czech Republik DLC for ArmA 2 which had 3 Interiors if I remember correctly.

Pictures of the new Gunner-Optics for those who don't use the Devbranch Album

It was hinted that more content will come with the Campaign Episodes. They also confirmed in one of the Sitreps that they are working on 2 "fixed-winged beasts". You might want to keep your eyes on www.ArmA3.com and the Developer Blog. Something will be announced tomorrow. You might be happy to hear aswell, that the offical Tactical Guide that comes with the Deluxe/Supporter Edition contains a section about F-35, C-192 (C-130 like plane). The guide also shows pictures of the Bulldog (Kel-Tec KSG) and the AA-12. Regarding the stuff you saw on screenshots (e.g. Osprey), don't take it as something that is in the game /will get patched in later. Pre-Mid 2012 they showed a lot of stuff that where placeholders. For further information continue reading here. I really hope they add the Osprey. The ingame Fieldmanual shows him under VTOLS.

Hi Ronnie, for "enhancing" your game experience, I would recommend you to play with a couple of friends and/or join a group. Here is a List of some ArmA Groups On a personal note, I try to stay away from public servers mainly because it simply doesn't give me the tactical deepness that I want from ArmA.

Try playing around with the Blur settings (motion blur,etc). Perhabs HDR might be the cause aswell. Besides of that you could try to open the window, drink something, make sure that you play in a bright environment and (probably most importantly) take breaks to look at something in the distance so your eyes can relax. If you get those headaches only in first person than it could be Motion Sickness

Your concerns are all valid and I understand your point of view. There is not much that I can add to that except that Steam is the tool not the force. If a game gets updated/changed after release (e.g. censored) is completely up to the Publisher/Developer Also if you launche Steam without Internet connect, then it should offer you to launch in Offline mode without login in ( account creditals need to be saved on the pc in order for that to work) .

Yes, Steam will automaticly change it into the release version on 12th September. You're lucky that it gave you the option the play the Beta, normally Steam won't let you play a game before its release date. Regarding Steamwork for ArmA 3, that has been announced back in February 2013. It's also writen on the box

The "overhaul" that DayZ is doing is not what we want for ArmA. I could go into detail now but for now; if ArmA 3 used DayZ's mmo-architecture, it would lower the ability to create mods/scripts greatly - if not even stop it completely. And for the "resources they had" it only took them more over half a year to change it. ArmA 3 can't take another throw back in development time. @OP The one of the biggest performance eating options are view distance, objects and terrain. Try playing around with those for better performance

Those are strong claims you make. But perhabs we'll see that performance blogpost soon (that they "promised" us a few weeks (months?) ago). Anyway, let us not derail the thread and stay on topic!

Congrats on finding the 2nd highest ticket in the feedback tracker :p There where some improvements to the performance trough the alpha/beta (some helped - some not). Perhabs you should have checked the changelogs before you say that BI didn't tried. I would try to explain why ArmA's performance is as it is, but I'm not qualified to talk about neither can I be bothered. Use the forum search, there are multiple threads (like this one) about the performance who explain the whole performance thing much better then I could.

As already pointed out, the AI sometimes will target your last kown position / where they think you are. If they saw you disappearing behind a bush, then they'll shoot on that bush.

Regarding AI, you guys should use the Development Branch and check this thread: Development Branch AI Discussion Regarding X-ray vision, the devs stated multiple times (and provided proof)that the AI does not see trough bushes. I'll try to find it.

As much as I would like to have the KSG, C-130 and all the other content they showed and now isn't in the game: I (hopefully) will get what I paid for. From the day the Alpha was sold, us was promised +20 Vehicles, 40 Weapons, etc. Since they already posted an apology and an explanation I can't really complain. Altough I would really like to have Shotguns and a more planes. Let's hope we'll get that soon after release.
