This looks to be an excellent addon and something that is sorely needed. 2 questions though: 1. are you able to land the C17 on rough ground on Altis? ie. how does it handle? 2. are you able to drop cargo similar to that LAPES video previously posted? If thats one thing thats sorely lacking in A3, thats the ability to drop ammo for infantry.

"•Invade and Annex ADF Uncut Official Server running @ADF_Beta, @ACRE, @STHUD, @JSRS2, check day0.com.au" sweet!!! I spend a lot of time on the day0 or lanbox servers.

We need everything included in ArmA 2. No futuristic b/s...just current weaponry - M16/M4/AK47/AK74/RPK/.50 cal/etc etc.

Any update on this mod?

only thing missing is the magnetic variation! :)

Is there a way to 'cover' the Altis map with jungle?

is it possible to drive stuff into say the C130 or Osprey? I know thats not currently available but I've seen a few WIP mods which are trying this. that would be awesome....being able to 'paradrop' a tank near an AO (similar to how they do it currently by dropping MBTs or other IFVs off the back of C130s just feet off the ground with parachutes).

yeah I know..but my point is...BIS have decided on a 2035 setting which should still provide some 'creative licence' to modders, hence my point re the V22 - why not make it the V280 (although the wiki says "The V-280 will have a crew of 4 and be capable of transporting up to 11 troops") OR make an upgraded V-22, say a V-22B or C or something with longer fuselage, etc etc. I do hate this 'futuristic' aspect of A3 but what can you do? :)

@IceBreakr....just confirming you're porting Lingor Island as well? I love the whole jungle warfare aspect (I'm a big fan of the Vietnam war era gameplay) and using Lingor would just be perfect for it.

ok my bad..maybe I misread. :)

just my $0.02 cents worth...just because the V-22 of 2013 can't lift 34 combat loaded infantry doesn't mean in 2035 (which is the year A3 is set) this won't be possible through: - better engines - stronger blades - lighter/stronger alloy used for the fuselage - other advancements in technology between 2013 and 2034 (say the year the V22 is built prior to deployment in A3 theatre). Lets not limit ourselves to today's technology. This is how BIS wanted to go...so lets go with them. I'm not saying sharks with friggin laser beams but surely there's got to be SOME kind of technological advancement in weaponry, etc between now and then. SO...lets make the V22 capable of lifting 34 or even 40 combat loaded infantry. Don't bring 'realism' into this for the sake of gameplay.

guys, give him a break - he's trying to do something positive and everyone is entitled to their opinion if they've paid for the game.

there is a demand for transport a/c with a greater number of seats than currently available. There's nothing worse than flying to pickup a squad only to leave a handful there stranded. Plus, especially on domination type modes, you'd want to airlift a whole platoon if you can because its certainly better to attack large enemy positions as a platoon rather than a squad of 5 or 10....sheer weight of numbers.

We need larger troop transport helicopters, particularly the CH47 Chinook (takes about 50). We also need artillery guns ie. 105mm, 155mm which can be airlifted from place to place by large helicopters.

That Osprey is absolutely gorgeous!!! Why the hell can't BIS do something like this?? honestly. Anyway, rant off....I do like A3 even unfinished as it is so I'll shut it :) I like to spend a lot of my time ferrying troops on the battlefield however our current a/c have certain limitations. I'm hoping the Osprey in A3 has this: Capacity: 24 troops (seated), 32 troops (floor loaded) - from wikipedia The number of times I've had to leave players stranded in the middle of nowhere because there wasn't enough room.

I want, I want, I want...lol....its the old adage 'if you don't ask, you don't get' :) So.....anyone up for a Vietnam-style large map...with lots of jungle? I unfortunately don't have the skills, knowledge or time to do it (I would if I could) hence my appeal to any of the skilled modders out there. I've posted this all over the place however I reckon there is a HUGE gap in maps for a dense jungle type environment to replicate places like Vietnam, SE Asia (rest of it), South America, etc. Imagine firefights in jungles.

<ignore, didn't realise a patch had been released>

darn...I'm still after a vietnam-style map with lots of dense jungle if thats possible.

Actually, true ARMA should be ARMA 3 + mods + ACRE. I"ve played a few missions with this and its awesome.

is it just me or are there no servers hosting this mod? I ran a server list on Six updater (I think its called) and got 2 servers with 0 players on (at the time).

Is there a Vietnam map from A2 that can be ported? We need somewhere with lots of jungle...Altis is wayyyyy too open. *edit* Lingor please.

No. "What is true arma": combined arms against enemy infantry (AI or human controlled) using coordinated infantry, vehicles, artillery, aircraft, etc all operating in the one environment. 'What is actual arma': Unplayable slideshow mess. :)

Addon Request: A map of South Vietnam complete with jungles, rivers, paddies, mountains, hills, villages, firebases, etc. :)

We definitely need smaller grid squares on maps that cover say 10m x 10m or something. This would assist with accurate artillery spotting (and corrections) and providing coordinates for air strikes, LZs, etc.

After playing a few missions tonight, i've realised three things: 1. BIS have released a helicopter (the new Lynx lookalike) with a bug (if the rotors are turning and someone joins....the engine dies); 2. they've now made enemy AI soldiers extremely difficult to kill. I put 5 rounds (okay it was an M4 5.56mm NATO round) into an enemy soldier whilst he reloaded then killed me. 6 rounds; and 3. they've now gone on friggin holiday. BIS, who the hell does your QA?
