First off, I love Arma! It's my most played steam game and it's where I've met most of my best friends on steam. However, there are some things that I really dislike about Arma and I wish were done differently. [THIS WILL BE A LONG POST, SO I'LL PUT A TL;DR AT THE END] • Overall polish and attention to detail isn't very good. The damage models need a complete rework. It would be cool to see blood where I actually got shot or to see dents/scratches on a vehicle where I hit something. Actually seeing the rocket being loaded in your RPG and seeing the medkit when you use one, having proper animations for ladders and stairs and more fluid animations that affect what your character is interacting with, like opening doors on houses and vehicles, and Having your character pull his gun closer when hes near a wall so your barrel doesn't stick through. These things seem so little and useless, but they can actually go a long way in making players feel more immersed and like they're playing a more fleshed out game. Tarkov is a great example of good fleshed out animations. • Vehicles. They're good for getting you from point A to point B if you take the main road, they're a deathtrap if you use them for anything else. Hitting a bush shouldn't destroy my tires and headlights while almost killing me in the process. PLEASE, just turn off collision for any bush that's smaller than an offroad! Also, why does your vehicle explode after hitting enough things? Literally no vehicle does that. I play a lot of wasteland, and sometimes you have to use a vehicle as your main weapon, whether it be a hatchback or an offroad. If I ram into another vehicle, it's RNG whether I live and the enemy dies, the enemy lives and I die, we both live, we both die, or one or both of us goes flying off into space. It's extremely annoying. My solution is to make a new damage mechanic for vehicles. If I ram into the driver side of an enemy vehicle going less than 50KMH, the enemy should die and I should be severely injured. Anything over 50KMH and we both die. Something like that. Things should be switched up for armored vehicles as well. Nothing should be completely destroyed by 1 rocket or missile unless it's from a jet or a helicopter. Ifrits, Hunters, and Striders are completely useless if the AI or enemy has an RPG. Instead of having 1 rocket blow up the vehicle and killing everyone inside, make it so that 1 rocket just disables the vehicle and also make it RNG on who dies and who gets severely injured. Each launcher should have their own damage multiplier and each APC and tank should have a multiplier on every side (Front, back, left, right, top, and bottom). Hitting a specific part of a tank or APC like the track or turret should always disable it. IMO, this will make the combat between players and vehicles so much more balanced and fun. • Animations should be interruptible and be able to be performed while moving. If I'm healing and hear an enemy walking up, there's nothing I can do but spin around and hope they have the worst aim in existence. It would be nice if I could stop the animation and take my gun back out to take care of the enemy, then start healing again. If I could move while healing, then I could walk into a room or around the corner in order to finish the animation. Let me pull out my pistol to cancel the reload animation if I need to kill another player quickly. Also, this is something I saw on one of Crowbcat's videos, lets say that I just killed an enemy in KOTH and I only have 8 rounds left in my mag, I go to reload and then another enemy rounds the corner. It would be awesome if I could left click and have my character quickly put back in the mag that has 8 rounds left in order to finish off the enemy, rather than taking the time to get a new mag. Speaking of left click, that would be a good keybind to cancel animations. • This is kind of small, but having preferences for each gun and scope in the options so that each time a player picks up a gun or attaches a scope, it will be suited to their play style. If I pick up an MXC, I want it to be on full auto and zeroed to 200m, and I don't want that to change unless I change it manually in game or in the options. If I drop the weapon and pick it back up, it should be just the way I left it. • The AI is mega dumb. I shouldn't even need to explain how bad they are. There's literally more improvements you could make on the AI than you could on the actual game! They have god like aim, they just sit there and crawl around, they see you through bushes and walls, and they can even magically walk through solid objects. Not even full Lvl 5 armor will protect you from getting 1-tapped by these gods. My fondest memory of them was on Wasteland on the Stratis map. Me and some friend were driving to a mission when an AI on the airfield 1-tapped me out of the back of an offroad going 40KMH from over 600m away. • Weapon sway is unrealistic and annoying more than it is immersive. The sway is so slow and all over the place when it should be more controlled and shaky/twitchy. I mean, come on. You're a highly trained soldier and you can't even walk 10 feet in your gear and still have accurate aim? You literally need to stand still for 2 minutes or have a bipod to be accurate in this game. The current sway animation is just a handicap for gameplay and immersion. It should be reworked. • Player damage and Armor. Each armor piece should have a multiplier for each type of round, and the armor should lose durability each time it gets shot and have less protection the lower its durability is. Players should have a set HP that goes down every time they get hit, and it should continue to drop unless they use a medkit. If I get shot in the arm, my aim should be extremely shaky, if I get shot in the leg then my movement should be slower and I should have a limp. The slow painful limping animation your player gets when they take enough damage needs to go! With no armor and an MX, a player should be dead with 1 shot to the chest, head, and stomach, and 2 to the legs and arms. With All level 5 armor and an MX, a player should die in 2 shots the the helmet, 4 to the chest, 3 to the stomach, 5 to the legs, and 6 to the arms. There are times when I've killed players with level 5 armor using a TRG faster than I've killed players with level 3 armor using an AK-12. That's dumb. Damage and armor should be consistent. • Aiming and shooting should take priority over any other keys held. The delay from when you stop sprinting and ADS is a bit much IMO and one of the many annoyances in PVP. The moment I right click, my character should stop sprinting and ADS. Same with firing. • I'm all for extra content, but NOT if it offers a blatant advantage. The best guns in Arma 3 are DLC. The AK-12 outperforms all other assault rifles. Period. The Cyrus and Mar-10 are the highest caliber weapons that can be silenced and easily outperforms the MK18. Don't even get me started on the MMGs. There should have already been an AK style rifle in the game to begin with and they should have gave us at least 1 gun in .338 and 9.3 before or closely after they released the marksmen DLC. I know that a skilled player with an MX can easily beat an amateur with an SPMG, but not every gunfight in Arma is between a nub and a veteran player. TL;DR •Polish and detail is suck. Tarkov style animations and a better damage model would be nice. •Vehicles should have a different damage mechanic and tanks/APCs should have better/more consistent damage multipliers for each side of the vehicle. •Animations should be interruptible with a left click. •Having gun preferences in the options and having a gun stay the same after you drop it and pick it back up (Zeroing and fire mode.) •AI... •Weapon sway is OP •Armor and damage should be more consistent. •Aiming and shooting should take priority over any other keys held. •DLC is a bit on the P2W side. I'm sure there are more things I could mention and I could have elaborated better on some things, but It's late and I'm tired. Sorry if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes. I'd love to read what you guys think should be different or why some of the things I mentioned should not be!

I've been looking via google and here on the forums for any indication that this is doable via scripting. (No luck so far) I'm attempting to add functionality where the rangefinder display you get in a tank gunner slot appears in slots that normally do not have the functionality. We use both RHS USAF and ACE3 modpack, and have a rough time attempting to get range to gunner since there is no range finding capability in turret for the commander seat. Example: https://i.imgur.com/PCrs3ae.jpg I don't care weather or not it has FCS capability of if toggle-able, I just need to know if this is scriptable or does it have to be a configpatch for the rsctext in the vehicle config. I am looking for a solution that is MP Friendly.

The Air Station Paul 25 is one of twice Air Stations on the area of the Republic Altis and Stratis. Air Station Paul 25 and the Air Station Mike 26 were still build by the british colonial power, following the downsizing and relocation of Task Force Aegis troops based on Altis, Air Station Paul 25 was transferred to the AAF, although it had no trained personnel to use "Paul 25" at that time. During the civil war and the ensuing war with NATO, Air Station Paul 25 stayed in service almost until the end of the war with NATO forces. Recently, Air Station suffered a targeted detonation due to unknown extraneous forces. Today, the Air Station Paul 25 is again used by Task Force Aegis in cooperation with the civilian and military authorities of the Republic Altis and Stratis. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1544860912

would any want to join my mil sim group i am creating? i have a server and we plan on doing zeus made missions, and campaigns on the weekends, we are scheduled to launch this coming Saturday and really need players, theirs no recruitment atm we are looking for players that just want to have a good time and enjoy aspects that Arma 3 offers that a lot of players dont get access to, there are no time requirements or skill requirements, We do plan on being realistic and structured but at a its a video game and we are going to make sure we have fun kinda view. discord with more information https://discord.gg/Wx3vQw4

I mean a conection like "Altis Police" and with the AAF as Military and some characters like Nikos Panagopoulos, it can be modded or vanilla, the only thing thats important is the conection with the A3 Campaign.

This Topic deals with the Member Countrys of the Canton Protocol Strategic Alliance Treaty (CSAT). We know that Iran, (unknown) North African Countrys, China, indirectly Russia and Belarus are fix members of CSAT. Iran, because the Champaign says that the Gryffin Regiment of CSAT on Altis and Stratis comes from Iran. Unknown North African Countrys, because the Scimitar Regiment of CSAT on Malden comes from North African Countrys. China, because the Apex Protocol says that the unknown Regiment of CSAT (under command of Xu Haifeng) near Tanoa comes from China. Possibly Russia, because the most equipment of CSAT Military is made in Russia and another interesting point is that the standart uniform of Raven Security (PMC) is the CSAT standart Uniform. I personally think that no extern Company who had the task to safe CSAT facilities on Altis and Stratis became the unique military uniform (with a special exoskeleton) of CSAT, it wouldnt make any sense. And because the former USSR (after the milenium possibly Russia) successfully invade Malden. The campaign of the Contact DLC prove it indirectly. "Meanwhile, the Russian Spetsnaz operators wear a new lightweight two-tone suit, a durable helmet based on CSAT design, and a chest rig which sports a cross-drawn chest holder for sidearms." "The To-201 Shikra is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter jet. The aircraft was designed by a CSAT and Russian joint syndicate with the goal to build a highly agile and maneuverable air-superiority fighter. The To-201 also has ground attack capabilities, and is able to support various weapons configurations via its conventional pylons, but also its internal weapons bay." Belarus because the campaign of the Contact DLC prove the membership of CSAT. "This landlocked NATO member state shares borders with four other nations, including the Russian exclave Kaliningrad and CSAT partner Belarus, which inherently makes it a place of great geo-strategic importance."

TL;DR - Keep getting "BattleEye client not responding" error when joining games. Hello, I've got this game 2 days ago, and aside from usual lag here and there, it ran fine. But recently, when I go into a server it kicks me out, and says "BattleEye client not responding". Whenever I chose UAV operator, It would kick me after loading, but when I choose other classes, I get in the game for 2-3 mins. and it kicks me out. I've tried multiple things, Including - Verifying game files, deleting and re-installing BattleEye, and even re-downloading the game. If anyone knows how to fix this, any and all help is appreciated. P.S. I changed my resolution recently, don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Hello, i want to edit Altis, and it would interest me very much how close in the future the source files are available.

Hi all My name is Kenny, and i'm part of a danish group, currently working on a Arma 3 webseries. We got the story down, and the script for episode 1, and a currently trying to fill out all the holes in the crew. The series is in english, and will be a 5 part webseries about an elite force hunting a terrorgroup. It will be published on youtube, with both teasers, trailers, and a website with more information in the near future. We are currently missing "players" for 2 roles, before we can begin shooting, so if you know someone who might be interested in hearing more, please contact me in here for more information. Best Kenny

Is this building complex in the A3 campaign? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1439480527

Hey guys. I've been trying to get my vest to weigh properly for awhile now, but I just can't seem to get the weights right. As I can't exactly find a topic specific to vest weighting and modding, (mostly on uniforms) i'd like to seek advise on the best way to do this. I've tried using the A3 character modding guide via 3ds max and I think that it's more suitable for uniforms. I'd like my vest to be rigid as if there were armor plates in them. My question is, am I doing this wrong? What is the common way of doing this for experienced modding teams out there i.e RHS, VSM. Do they do it manually in O2 or in an external program such as 3dsmax or Blender? Thanks in advance!

Hello, fellas. Is there any possible way to download more maps for Arma CWA? Or islands? I tried to google any, and nothing of sort came by.
