    Marksmen and Helicopter DLC were very specifically designed for "enthusiastic users" who don't bother spend money in the game. Developing features take time and cost money. It's quite obvious that paying for this content, or Karts, was not made for everyone.

    On my side, I bought Arma 3 in alpha for 25€ and it's the game I've played the most in my life. I bought the DLC bundle for 20€, to me it was overpriced for the content they add, but not compared to the time I had already spend on the game.

    Tanoa, as a main expansion, seems to be made for a broader audience. They want more people to buy it, so they have to add more content. They're certainly not working on DLCs and on the expansion the same way.

    (btw, if they want people to buy it, they should up the skirt and show a little bit more... just saying).

     

    And finally, the Apex Edition of the game cost 60€. With that, you have  the game, Apex, all the DLC plus some other stuff(tactical guide, soundtracks...). Other companies would have sale it for WAY more. Like 120€.

     

    Still €45 is till very little for all the content and features you get, if you look at battlefield or COD you basicly get way less for €60/70 and then you have the "season pass" (fancy name for dlc bundle that holds maybe 1 or 2 dlc's) and pay up another 50 € and then another 15€ for every "dlc" (mostly one small map or 2/3 weapons) I would say BIS is very cheap in its dlc strategy andyou acctually get proper content for your money compared to others

    Hey egg, in dev branch they altered the animation sources of weapons allowing multiple muzzle's instead of just on so in dev branch you should be able to create a 3rd muzzle and 3rd tracer possibly?

     

    https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Model_Config#Animation_sources

     

     

    Arma 3 Update 1.60 comes with a new way how to handle multiple muzzle animation sources for weapons:

    • revolving, ammo, ammoRandom, reload, trigger, reloadMagazine, hasMagazine, isEmptyNoReload, isEmpty, zeroing, weaponMode may be used with indexes ranging from -1 to (number of muzzles - 1) in format "name.x" (e.g. reload.0)
    • Index -1 means currently selected muzzle, index 0 means first muzzle of given weapon, index 1 second and so on
    • Animation sources without indexes should behave the same way as before

    hm.... I might be wrong here but here is something straight out of my hardware components class of school:

     

    You video (1st page)  is showing 2 diffrent memory indexes so I have the feeling you might be wrong with your interpetation there or the software your using is combining some stuf giving you a wrong picture of your acctual ram usage.

     

    Normal ram works the following way: it holds the calculations and applications your cpu is running. once its full it will divert it to your harddrive in so called virtual ram. now if you look in taskmanager you can see them both listed, your acctual RAM and you Virtual RAM. A game as arma ussually has a limit of how much ram it can use for calculations, everything it can't hold in the RAM it should store in the virtual drive. meaning that if you went over the entire island it wil save all that info in the ever growing ram stick tillits full and it wil pass older info into the virtual RAM, If you go back to a place or have to load anything from an earlier point it will load it from the Virtual drive into you ram again to process it taking longer because HHD or SSD are both slower than DDR3 or DDR4.

     

    Take by example Adobe After Affects, after rendering multiple video's in there you will want to clear its cache because it will easily store 20+ GB of data in your virtual RAM, the same has to be done in arma, after a while you have to flush your cache to get a performance boost (there is acctually a shortcut key for that in arma's 'cheat' shortcuts)

     

    Try your first mission again on your normal rig and when you hit 13GB try flushing your cash (It might acctually work ;) )

    The vests of CSAT are acctually weaker, they don't carry body armour but chest rigs (ammo holders so no reinforced plating).

    The uniform of CSAT has more armour than the uniforms of AAF and NATO.

    CSAT "Bughelmet" has the most armour value (100 I believe).

     

    Som armour wise on the soldiers

     

                    NATO   CSAT  AAF

    Vest             +         -         +

    Uniform       -          +        -

    Helmet        -          +        -

     

    Weapons.

     

    NATO and CSAT Have a 6.5 caseless caliber.

    AAF has a 5.56 caliber.

    CSAT has a 7.62 LMG, NATO a 6.5 MX SW, AAF a 6.5 MK200

    NATO has a .338 MG, CSAT a 9.3MM MG.

    NATO has the following Marksman rifle's: EBR 7.62, that maksman weapon can't remember the name 7.62, MAR-10 .338, M320 LLR .408

    CSAT has the following Marksman rifle's: Rahim 7.62, Cyrus 9.3, ASR 12.7, Lynx .50 (russian caliber version)

    AAF has the following Maksman rifle: EBR 7.62

    The Katiba seems to have less recoil than the MX but that might also be just me so it won't be counted.

     

                                       NATO CSAT AAF

    Marksman Calliber         -        +      --

    MG Calliber                    -        +      -----

    Default Calliber              +       +       -

    LMG Calliber                 -        +       -

     

     

    So thats basicly Inf based the only - that CSAT recieved was for the vest, the rest is all superiour.

    That NATO lost from the AAF just means that NATO troops underperformed toAAF troops. possibly because of experiense etc,etc.

    NATO has some more armour equipment to counter CSAT:

    NATO CAS is more powerfull than CSAT CAS

    NATO has sandstorm CSAT doesn't

    NATO has 40mm Auto cannon CSAT only 30mm

    AH-99 has AA, AT and cannon, CSAT Kajman only AT and cannon

    Ghosthawk has miniguns and the AH-9 ofcoarse so thats how its ballanced a bit but Inf whise CSAT is the clear victor

    I'm seriously thinking if I should reply to the video or not.... heck fuck it I'll reply.

     

    That dude is a absolute cracked nutshell....

     

    His mentions about keybindings and action menu..... Is he retarded? We finally begged BIS enough to change it to actionkeys instead of a action menu with to many scroll options... someone needs to make him shut up befor he acctually ruins the game.

     

    Inventory.... Again he has to be  retarded..... This is an amazing inventory system. To begin with Arma is a semi realistic military SANBOX game not a milsim jet its allready more realistic by heaving the weapons slots. its normal to have 1 main weapon and 1 pistol and a AT specialist (or AA) willhave some AT thats it there not a single idiot that goes to the battlefield with 2 assault rifles ?!? I mean next to that you have to carry mags for both rifles (really wanna carry +/- 18 mags with you?) you would lose your sidearm which is ridiculus, a sidearm is better suited for CQB than most assaultrifles.

     

    Mission. I love being able to create missions. having the community make the missions gives the game many more modes than the devs can come up with as we are with thousands.

     

    Vehicle tweaks. Interiors might be nice but also affect performance. you can easily get over the limitations by working together with you vehicle crew. if you have players in there and you practice enough its actually rather easy. and ofcoarse if you know how armour works....

     

    Von has always been bad and something I dislike (ever heard the cod video's? the amount of annoying squeakers on there... it kills you) I prefer TS all the time where I'm on with mature level headed non squeakers. way better game experions and with TFAR or ACRE 2 you can make work properly ingame aswel. (They might want to ask the devs of those mods to help them integrate it in arma by default way better solution than VON)

    Well if I followed it a bit correctly on the news it was said that Trump is doing extremly well at this moment (how painfull it is...)

    But then again.... I know of a certain time in germany when there was a guy who did the same kinda campaing as Trump does now... see how that worked out -.-

     

    Personally I don't vote ever as my motto to voting is very simple "Voting between one dickhead or another dickhead doesn't change a thing. they both screw you over where your standing either way."

    You talking about something different, that is Controls > Common > Use Default Action. Which is as you say extremely handy for things like doors, hatches and getting in vehicles.

    Im talking about Controls > Common > Use Selected Action, which you use for selecting the current menu option that is highlighted, for instance in the actionMenu, quick command(now obsolete, unless you still have it bound or add it back in your config), Navigate Menu and the 'Select all Units' menu.

     

    Yea those also only work for me with spacebar since the begining of A3, I have never been able to LMBklick the action that I wanted, the commanding menu was a bit diffrent because that also worked witht the number (by example ~+1+6 still makes my squad stop moving)

  22. Posted

    Im not keen on this change either. It was faster and more fluid to be able to use the primary mouse button to select current selected action. Ive noticed it has changed in both commanding and navigation menus, although you can still use primary mouse to operate the action menu..

    I also do not like the way the new Open Menu's work, although I would rarely use them as I find its quicker to go in through navigate and use primary mouse to select (barring changes in previous sentence).

    Instead of being able to select one and then press another to open its menu they current act as toggles so if you press say F1 to open Move, pressing F2 does not open Target but toggles the previous menu closed, leaving you having to press F2 again to see its menu.

    This hasn't worked for me since the beginning of A3 (probebly because I use A3 controls). Its always been Spacebar for me which is quite nice as it acctually gives a action key kinda feeling, look at the door press spacebar and it opens whitout having to scroll.

     

    I agree that having the weapons get removed from the action menu list would be awesome! and also the suggestion to put the commanding units under one button would be amazing. espacially if a dear BIS dev can make a really nice transparant maybe circulair menu like ACE has? it would mean that next to 1 - 4 you also have the keys 5-0 aviable for actions.

    Have you checked if the line syntaxs acctually works with a default texure aswell?

     

    I always use the missionevent handeler for draw3d so it might be something with that aswel?

     

    Or instead of writing down the whole path like that try doing it like kk wrote n his blog? with the extracting and formating

    Hello Dreamrebel and team ;)

     

    LOVE THE LOOKS OF THIS MOD SOFAR!

     

    The story is bloody awesome and as a person living in the netherlands but having a german nationality this warms my heart so see germany and the netherlands working so closely together as in this mod (wich happens in rl aswel the netherlands has a joined MBT team with germany cointaining 24 Leo2A7's if I remember correctly) so for me being from both sides it fills my eye's with tears.

     

    On another note I would love to help you by giving you more inspiration for a peace of art that is allready beautifull!

     

    The things that i thought of when I read you post and all the other one's made me think of aspect of the prusian army that I hadn't seen anything of yet,

     

    First of Choppers (helikopters/Hubschraubers)

     

    As some might know germany and the French have workt together by mergin their aero development together it used to be known as eurocopter with their super puma and their tiger I was imagining these helicopter reconfigured for 2020+ so the they would either recieve the x2 rotor layout or maybe something even more futuristic looking a chopper meets jet vtol... that together with some more slick looks (Its all about that stealth ;) ) would make it something that their enemies would fear.

     

    Second maritiem,

    knowing that the Netherlands has quite a broad naval force (I mean we are a country of fisherman have you ever read our proverbs their mostly about boats ;) ) I thought that a proper maritiem fleet would be awesome (Also for proper fleet depolyment) ofcoarse you have that amazing sub! but there is more to a maritiem fleet. in order to deploy those lovely Tiger 3s and CV-30s one would need a fleet that is able to deliver those to distant coutries right? so I was thinking of a LHD class vessel, it would be able to deploy choppers, maybe even the "Owl" (If it is a STOL) and deploy all the armor and ground troops you would need.

    and lastly, I saw that their was stil being thought for another Assault rifle. I had to think of the M468, the M468 is a M4 version by Barret that chambers a 6.8mm round. that combined with a M416 or XM8 would make those weapons truly something for the powerfull empire from the near future ;)

     

    I hope I gave you even more inspiration for this mod!

     

    Cheers
