Personally I believe arma style gameplay is too complex for a simple commo rose. There's just too much going on in the battle field, even if your being suppressed by a single sniper communication is key if you want to survive. It's much easier if people just use microphones.

They invaded turkey and hoped over? I don't know anything about the lore but turkey being part of NATO why didn't they respond earlier (to an invasion). Or did turkey take sides with Iran?

The microphone just enhances the experience. For a tdm sort of match you won't really need it but for role playing its really helpful. I met these two guys on wasteland and we formed a squad. Our communication allowed us to dominate the map and have fun.

I think syria is a great example. They (the rebels) are almost equally matched technologically as their opponents (the government). The reasons the rebels are quite a powerful force is due to the military deserts. Now imagine if an entire tank platoon were to break away from the military and join the rebels. As the above poster said Lybian rebels stole a considerable amount of military hardware, they managed to get hold of tanks and powerful AA vehicles. Modern civilian tech has proven to be very successful too in terms of coordination. Boobytraps such as IEDs have and will always be around since they can be made with items found within the household. Additionally insurgencies are a great way to fight proxy wars and try out new gear. Wasnt it the US that armed the mujahideen (or however it's spelt) with stingers and various other weapons to test against soviet helicopters? This continues to go on. EU countries are debating on wether to arm Syrian rebels which have influential Taliban in commanding ranks. I can't be the only one to see this backfiring. ---------- Post added at 14:19 ---------- Previous post was at 14:10 ---------- Its true that the military will ALWAYS have an edge over other groups but that's precisely why terrorists/ rebels (whatever you find appropriate) will always fight a gurrellia war. Now that doesn't mean they can take on an entire military force but look how bloody effective the French resistance was in slowing down Nazi operations in WW2. Things like hit and run tactics are always a pain in the ass. Same goes in Vietnam. The viet cong raided airbases and tried to destroy jets before they were airborne. So yeah, there's always a way of fighting and destroying a superior force (IMO). I'm no expert But I do agree with you that their tactics must change depending on their foe as well as the environment they are fighting in

I tried getting off a few silent kills in the vehicle showcase mission but the enemy was almost instantly aware no matter how I killed the enemy

Hey I'm having troubles with the Xbox controller. Unlike arma 2, a3 instantly recognised it and set default buttons. However I'm unable to customise these. When I go on controls and press A for fire nothing happens. Feedback is appreciated Thanks Edit: I'd like to mention that I only use the controller for vehicles. I haven't played a console game in over a year the control pad feels alien. Also I'm glad that the thread has been closed, I didn't mean to spark a full on war. Thanks for taking the time to view and reply to the thread.

Mine showed up after I restarted steam.

Thanks mate. I'll give it a shot later on in the evening.

Then again there's always people saying "Iran has alien technology", who knows...

Hello I just picked up the game and so far I really enjoy it. However I've noticed a number of bugs but the one that bugged me the most was the vehicle aiming. When I'm in the gunner seat I try and zoom in but instead of the optics zooming in I zoom closer to the tv (like when you hold right mouse button with your rifle). I'm not sure if it's a bug or that's how it was intended. I searche the forums and couldn't find anything so I'm assuming the problem isn't global. Any help is appreciated.
