The long version Who are we? We are a bunch of military guys from Sweden trying to create a squad in Arma III. Almost all of us work in the Marines and Rangers but we also have a background of 4 years playing games like Project Reality. We have been waiting for a long time for Arma III and now when its finally here we are ready to get serious. What do we want? We are looking for players with skill and a feel for milsim that we can get to know and play together with on the weeks and weekends. We have an age limit at 20+ and expect you to have some kind of military IRL experience OR many years playing Arma, Project reality or similar games. Many of us have work, girlfriends, kids and a life outside the PC so we expect you to have the same or at least understand that we cant play every day of the week. Our goals To start with we want a group with around 6-8 guys and if this works out we can start expanding. We have no intention of being a big clan and feel that its better to have a skilled core group rather then many useless players. To begin with we just want to find a group of ppl that like playing together and slowly work our way up from there. If you don't meet out standard you will not be allowed to stay in the unit its just that simple. If you are interested send me a PM and tell me something about yourself. The short version We: IRL marines and rangers creating a Arma III squad. You: IRL military background or 4 years in Arma, PR or something like it aswell as 20+ and having a life outside the PC. Goals: Having fun and working our way to the top.

Well it is only for emergency the sidearm is used unless its pre planed to use it. Okey when you think about it you don't NEED to move and change sidearm but i feel its a natural feature. In my experience if you have to use the sidearm you are in a really really shitty situation and in that case i never want to sit still and rather run for cover with the sidearm ready. In any way it has to be faster then it is right now.

Must say i really like this option where you have 2 different way of switching the weapon, however can it be done?

I think it is a very important part of a military game, at least for me because i'm the sneaky player that get in undetected and sabotage. So this feature is really nice to have but if you think about it for afew seconds.... Lets say you knife someone in multiplayer, maybe the ppl around him in the game doesn't notice but be sure he is going to scream to them using coms like TS and so on xD

I really think that would be better even if it doesn't look very good. Lets say you get in a firefight on a street, Close range both you and your enemy run out of bullets and have to use your sidearm. How retarded wouldn't it be if both suddenly stops and slowly put away his weapon for afew second? So ether it has to be possible to change weapon while moving or you simply can never use the pistol as it is supposed to IRL and have to run like a crazy chicken into cover and hide before you switch weapon. The pistol is in my eyes a personal defense weapon that you use if your main weapon fail in someway and you don't have time to fix it. That is how we use it IRL.

I have been working in the military for some time now and the recoil is not overdone on the normal weapons. You have to keep in mind that IRL you very rarely fire while standing up or kneeling, You ALWAYS lie down if you are going to shoot longer then like 50 meters and are planing on staying in that spot for more then 15 seconds. Something that i think is overkill in vertical recoil is the MG with bipod. IRL it almost docent climb at all instead the bullets are being spread out left, right, up and down evenly. And btw if you cant hit a dude standing 20 yards away with more 1 round every 2 second you are doing something really wrong..... I just tried full auto on my friend and some trees on 20-50 meters and i almost hit every bullet^^

There are also butterflies and rabbits. Sidenote is that the rabbits can run on water if you chase them haha :D

I haven't found any info about this on the forum or Google and i find it strange that no one has taken this up so far. So after playing since the release this must be one of the most annoying things i can come up with. Every time i want to use my sidearm my character stops dead in his tracks while putting away the main weapon. Is there some kind of really simple thing that i have forgot somewhere or is it just not part of the alpha? If your not even supposed to change to the sidearm while moving in the full game i'll be really confused... Edit: By this i do not mean switching to the AT4 from your back while moving just the pistol and normal weapon.

I'm having the exact same problem, This happens to me a few times every hour so its starting to get annoying. I think it has to do with pressing multiple keys at the same time so i checked the web and keybindings to see if arma3 support auto walk and it doesn't. A temporary solution for this is to change your weapon because that makes your character stop.

I agree with you to 100% here but it takes more then 1 second before you have the grenade in your hand IRL. Its more like 3 seconds because you have to take into account all the god damn gear that is in the way and you stance (laying down?). Something that would help allot in scenarios were you are sitting next to the window or a door is a scroll menu, the same one for opening door and so that allow your character to put the grenade inside automatically.

Well this is not the magic work to camouflage instead they are hiding behind bushes. Never the less really nice but you can do this in other games to, Something i really want to see is a working camouflage system where its hard to spot someone lying in and open field. This is probably not possible because of the grass disappearing after a while -.-
