I thought I would write a forum post to the development branch. Made sense to me.

Aside from the reason that BIS don't bother to include a bi-pod so we don't need third party mods that get us kicked and banned from servers? Not a clue.

You have underwater vehicles, range finders with incredible zoom, yet there are no bi-pods for sniper rifles or LMG's? Seriously? How can this be any kind of simulator when it is so difficult to get the scope to stop moving long enough to get a shot at long distance? I installed a mod called simple weapon resting but it is not accepted on all servers and thus is useless. It is good on the servers it is accepted on but my point is this should be a basic feature of the game. Even Battlefield 4 (the other game I play) has bi-pods and it is not even a simulator. How do you give us the ability to zero weapon distances and not give us simple functional bi-pods? I stopped playing a while back because I like to snipe and it is a painful experience with all the swaying, holding breath just to get the aim steady and then have to wait before I can do that again to get a second shot. The weapon resting mod changed that and I started to play more recently but I am now running into servers with people playing the maps I like that do not accept mods. So now I am officially posting in the forum about this and I hope that something so simple will be implemented. I can guarantee you I will not buy Arma 4 unless I research it and find that it has functional bi-pods.

I wouldn't need to if BIS added a bipod to this military "simulator". Trying to snipe very long distances without this mod is painful and unrealistic. If you are prone you would flip out the bipod and have a stable aim and not having it waaaavvving up and waaaavvving down and wavvvvviiiiing to the sides requiring you to hold your breath to try and get the aim over the target to be able to find, then having your aim be ten times worse until you catch your breath. I cannot believe this has not been resolved. They added submersible vehicles, range finders that can tell compass bearings, mobile artillery yet they neglect bipods for sniper rifles and LMG? You need a functional bipod.

I cannot get this to work in the server I want to go to. It keeps saying the mod is not signed by a key accepted by the server. I have never had this problem before, so why is the mod not working?

I did have a look at that one but it seems based on points and I couldn't even get a chopper to cross the map to the target area.

Now that the game has gone to final release I have been searching for a great mission that will be my go-to mission. With the original Arma I used to always play evolution, the one that was unlocked so that you could fly, drive, use anything. Right now I see a whole lot of wasteland and not much else. I don't like being locked out of things so I like to just get any weapon I want and any vehicle. Any suggestions?

Yes the feature was a request but the first reply was from a developer of the game who said "This feature will be present in later versions/final version of the game. Thanks for your feedback."

According to this: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=1407 and many other tickets, there is supposed to be an editor to set what gear people have and what is contained in boxes etc. I have been waiting for the game to go final before trying to really make something. I cannot seem to find out where you customize the gear loadouts for a player or a crate. What am I missing?

I got an HD 5770 and I never had this many crashes on the previous version. Although it might have something to do with the wasteland mission I have been trying to get to grips with. With arma 1 I limited myself to Evolution Blue missions because the other ones were just confusing and I had no idea what the point was or anything. This time on A3 I want to at least give them a try and see if I can figure out the purpose. SO there may be a connection with the crashes and the fact that I have been doing nothing other than going into wasteland servers.

My game crashes way way more than it did before. I have been trying to get to grips with wasteland maps but I am just sick of the crashes that make my mouse disappear until I use the keyboard to terminate arma3.exe I am probably just going to wait for a few more updates before trying to really give the game more of my time.

I was just on a server where hackers were spawning things, have infinite health and ammo and spontaneously respawning everyone all to the same location all while broadcasting the URL for people to get the hack. Then the game crashed and it took me ages to get my mouse back by having to get to task manager and terminate arma3.exe manually. I hope hacking is going to be addressed before it is released fully because if hackers can have free reign over other peoples servers then the game becomes useless and void of fun. On the original Arma I got sick of people spawning sandbags around people and blocking people into areas so I just stopped playing.

That works great Kildar! Now, what are some easy ways I could toggle this on and off at certain times such as when someone hits the ground or what ever? Such as lets say I have a trigger for someone to walk into, how can I target and effect the particular person who walked into that trigger and make them unable to take damage or accept damage again?

I see. So it's not me then its just the status of the game not letting it work then.

Arma 3 Shipwreck - How to not use a boat lol.
