TPW MODS - ENHANCED REALISM AND IMMERSION FOR ARMA3 SINGLE PLAYER TPW MODS is a modular and highly configurable suite of nearly 30 addons designed to increase the civilian, environmental, sonic, climatic and military ambience and realism of the A3 single player experience without requiring any scripting or module placement. You can use the TPW MODS of your choice to enhance any existing missions and campaigns, or to simply turn any empty map into a living world a la Far Cry, with endless replayability and a host of subtle realism and immersion touches that you probably won't even notice until you play without them. All mods interoperate well, are light on resources and a lot of work has gone into optimising them so they should not cause undue slowdowns or framerate issues. TPW MODS has been under constant development since 2013, and continues to be refined and expanded largely due to user feedback and suggestions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE, This is a WIP thread for my ballistics code, if you are looking for the final values please visit the link posted beneath this advisory! Ballistic calculation parameters updated (03/17/2024)! Finalized Values Link: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?173466-ArmA-III-Ballistics-Overhaul For all questions regarding my ballistics work please go to my Q&A thread located here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?192752-ArmA-3-Ballistics-Overhaul-Q-amp-A Hello fellow ArmA players/modders, ArmA III is a great game with amazing potential thanks to the efforts of its community and Bohemia Interactive. However the ballistics in ArmA III leave much to be desired especially in some of the more well known rounds like 5.56 or 7.62 where bullets do not do enough damage or penetrate the right amount of barrier material. This is where I have decided to help out, I do extensive research, calculations, and testing to all of my ballistics work to ensure they are as authentic and realistic as ArmA III's engine allows me. Q: Why are your ballistics better than anyone using BI's ballistics? A: BIS default is terribly off base, and many mod makers use their numbers as a base and make some small modifications thus making them flawed. All my work is based off of REAL WORLD BALLISTICS taken from reputable sites and are backed by the ammunition manufacturers. My ballistics information is easily within a 5% margin of error making them as realistic as possible within a "simulator". Q: What about Ruthbergs Advanced Ballistics Mod, are his values wrong, are your values better than his, whats the deal here? A: Ruthberg and I communicate with each other fairly often, we are working cooperatively by different means; my code is bullet specific, where as his mod changes the environment and weapon variables that interact with bullets. Ruthberg's ballistic simulation is far better than mine, however his mod does put a lot of extra strain on the server/system using it, so in heavy firefights you are likely to experience lag issues. Because my code is all based on BI's parameters and code you will NOT see any lag from my work. To make things clear, Ruthberg and I are NOT in competition with each other and we never should be, he covers one aspect of ArmA and I cover another, we both have the same goals in mind, we just go about achieving it in different ways with different results to total realism and client/server performance. Q: What kind of limitations do your ballistics have in ArmA? A: This is a very good question, in recent testing I along with a few other mod developers have confirmed that Body Armor as far as the plate carrier goes, adds armor to the legs, arms, hands, feet, and torso to the body, the helmet adds armor to the whole head, face included. Body Armor does NOT have an "armor check" to it, it simply negates a portion of the damage based on how "heavy" the armor is, this means that a JHP or even a frangible round will do more damage to the target even though it would not have penetrated the vest, this is a SERIOUS problem, and to my knowledge there is no mod available that fixes this. Another big issue is how BIS calculated object/material densities in ArmA III, my favorite example is the "Metal Shed from Hell" test, where I take a BIS default ArmA III metal shed that looks like its sheet metal but has enough density to completely stop a BIS default 5.56x45mm NATO round in its tracks. My ballistics including penetration may be Real World correct however this does not mean that they will interact with ArmA's material environment correctly, this is something that is completely out of my control as different buildings have different densities and there is no standard model or reference to work from regarding this. ArmA III also does not simulate drag realistically, this I figure is due to 2 things, 1 BI did not want to spend more time than they deemed necessary to accurately simulate ballistics, and 2 they wanted the game to operate smoothly across a wide variety of systems. Q: How are your ballistics values formulated, and why are they superior to BIS Default? A:I first research the ammunition in question based on military viability and if the round is not military standardized I go into more of a practical Civilian/Law Enforcement sense. I then take the information from my research including a whole ballistic profile and plug it into JBM's ballistic calculator. I then plug in my standard atmospheric model (see the next Q&A for more information on this) into the ballistics calculator. I then run the calculators and and gather the data for transfer to Bakerman's ArmA III ballistics calculator v2. Once the data is compiled in Bakerman's v2 calculator I manually adjust the Airfriciton value to closely match the real ballistics curve (its simply NOT possible to get it 100% correct using default parameters). Once those ballistics curves are matched according to my specs (see below for additional details on this) I start working on penetration and damage values set by BI protocols. After the penetration and damage values are calculated I check the values and performance in game using SMA's (Specialist Military Arms) test range. If all checks out I then release my data for public use. Q: What exactly does your "Standard Atmospheric Model" look like? A: G1 Drag Coefficient (I do not like using G7's unless the data is there, for sniper based rounds like .300 Win Mag/.338 Lapua/.408 Cheytac I may consider using them, the difference in performance should be negligible in ArmA III) ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) density of 0.07648 lb/ft3 @ Sea Level Ambient Temperature of -2.1 degrees Centigrade or 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit 0% relative humidity 0.0 meters or 0 feet in altitude (hence SEA LEVEL) Barometric Pressure of 28.147 Hg This all matches up with ArmA III's speed of sound being set to 330 m/s and the atmospheric density equating ISA parameters. Q: What is this "acceptable deviation" you refer to? A: ArmA III by default does not fully simulate drag functions correctly, so given that fact I have to establish a "threshold" limit to what I consider the maximum achievable deviation from reality, this breaks down as follows... 0-1% = Perfect 2-3% = Ideal 4% = Average 5% = Maximum Limited Threshold Pistols & Shotguns = 50m Point Target SMG's / PDW's = 100m Point Target Subsonic Rounds (AR/SR) = 200m Point Target Everything else will be hand calculated based on the rounds performance data available. *NOTE: These percentages are based on MAXIMUM POINT TARGET RANGES, any shot taken outside of MAXIMUM POINT TARGET RANGES is not configured in my ballistics calculations, this is due solely to an ArmA III simulation issue. Q: What does your "damage profile" system look like? A: My damage profile system is based on BIS's system but with more detail based on bullet composition and design that covers every bullet profile used in modern times. This is a 10-1 scale modifier which again BIS uses in conjunction with projectile velocity and mass to get a damage coefficient. My scale is listed from 10-1 below. BI calls this "Sharpness". 10 - Depleted Uranium (Large Caliber rounds 20mm +) 9 - Tungsten Carbide (Large Caliber rounds 12.7mm +) 8 - Steel Core (Large Caliber Rounds 12.7mm +) 7 - Tungsten Carbide (Small/Medium Caliber Rounds) 6 - Steel Core (Small/Medium Caliber Rounds) 5 - Full Metal Jacket/Total Metal Jacket (Small/Medium Caliber Rounds) 4 - BTHP/OTM (Small, Medium, & Large Caliber Rounds up to 12.7mm) 3 - Jacketed Hollow Point/ Soft Point (Small/Medium Caliber Rounds) 2 - Pre-Fragmented (Small/Medium Caliber Rounds) 1 - Frangible (Small/Medium Caliber Rounds) *Please note that the higher the damage profile number the less damage to the target but the more penetration the round has. Depleted Uranium and Tungsten Carbide rounds do not deform easily at all, this makes their wound tracts much smaller than a hollow point would thus making them cause less damage to the target, this is not to say a .50BMG with a Tungsten Carbide core would not kill someone, its just that its energy transfer would be less as it would pass though the target. Q: Why is you bullet drop different from reality, can you make the bullet drop more realistic? A: Yes I can, however ArmA III's default ballistics engine is very limiting in the way that it does not generate parabolic arch's like real bullets do, this inherently affects drop. Any arching you might see is based on the zeroing of your weapon. Now you CAN make adjustments for drop by altering the speed and airfriction however this would seriously impact damage and penetration and would not represent realism in that sense, its just too little of a change to justify a massive edit that would make the performance unrealistic for something that most people do not even notice. Q: When are xxx calibers/rounds or where are xxx calibers/rounds going to be made available? A: When they are finished, rounds/calibers that developers are currently working with take precedence, while I realize there may be xxx gun out there using xxx ammo/caliber I do have a lot of work on my plate and I will get to the rounds as time progresses; I do not get paid for my work, its all freeware, and I have to pay my bills. Q: Will you do xxx caliber or xxx bullet? A: I believe the RHS team has the best answer for this, and I use their following algorithm to calculate my answers as well: foreach(var question in questions) { if(question is Stupid) { return "We will consult the spirits"; } } *NOTE THIS IS WHAT RED HAMMER STUDIOS WROTE ON THEIR Q&A, I JUST COPY PASTED, ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE RHS TEAM FOR THIS CODE SEGMENT!

(Guim's) "My friends and I are now only playing this mission." (Neall) "It's a titan work. Respect." (BingaNarko) "Thank you and go on, you're the best dude I have a poor PC and OPEX is running fantastic." (NeXoWw) "God bless you !! To be honest I've never seen someone who is so reactive and attentive to the community's feedback." (Bobzap / Sayker) "This mission is becoming so epic. I love it."(xaxa) ..... DESCRIPTION OPEX is an immersive, realist and fully dynamic task generator for ArmA III military simulator. The first version was initially introducing the French Army fighting against terrorist organizations all over the world (hence the French name Opérations Extérieures - means External Operations). This new version now allows players to chose among several armies, depending on enabled extra mods ! AUTHOR'S NOTE Bonjour ! I have to be honest, OPEX has totally be inspired by MSO from ArmA II. After I have tried it, I thought the idea of a dynamic task generator was brilliant, but some features were not perfectly fitting to what I was expecting for and some others were missing. So firstly, I tried to customize the original MSO but finally I chose to rebuild everything from scratch. After more than 8 years of development (yeah, really !), and even if there are still many things to do, it's now time for sharing all I have did so far ! MAIN FEATURES Made by Gemini Mission that required more than 2000 hours of learning, experimentations and development (project started in 2012) SP and MP compatible (from 1 to 50 players) Unique immersive and realist atmosphere Select the theater of operations (Europe, Middle-East, Africa...), your army (France, USA, Russia, UK, Spain, Czechia...) and the opponents (Taliban, Islamic State, Boko Haram, generic ultranationalists...) - extra mods may be required to get all options (see below) Entirely built with random parameters for generating unpredictible situations and unlimited replayability Custom menu at startup to enable/disable/set main mission features Plenty of things to do: select a specific task (among more than 20 available), patrol to find and fight the enemy, locate and destroy weapon caches, neutralize IEDs, search buildings and interrogate local people to gather intel, capture opponents... Dynamic civilian life with custom interactions (talk, search, arrest...) Dynamic AI activities: patrols, ambushes, reinforcements, suicid bombers, roadblocks... Dynamic reputation: take care of the local population or it may rise against you Gather and exchange intel to recruit AI teammates and to get extra supplies, vehicles, supports... AI improvements: ability to assign/unassign NVG/flashlights/silencer depending on daytime and behaviour, ability to board into nearest static weapon... Primary needs system: eat, drink and sleep to avoid bad effects Customizable MP synchronized music receiver in order to listen music into vehicles Performance friendly: useless AI entities are automatically disabled/deleted to save computer/server ressources Persistent save for both server (mission progression, global stats...) and clients (loadout, personnal stats...) Playable without any mod (vanilla game) but compatible with many ones (CUP, RHS, R3F, 3CB, FFAA, BW, CFP, Project OPFOR, TFAR, ACE3, Winter 2035...) Readable content fully translated in French and English And much more to discover ! Made by the Community Advanced medical system (tweaked version of Psychobastard's AIS script) or expert medical system (if ACE mod is detected) Optimized AI behaviour (thanks to R3F AiComTarget script) Move and transport almost every item (thanks to R3F Logistic script) Random and dynamic weather (thanks to code34 for his script - I modified it a bit so weather's evolution is depending on world regions) Futurist but realist electronic tactical glasses (thanks to TPW for his script - I modified it to create motion detector and hearbeat functions) Live video feeds (thanks to BangaBob for his script) Little immersion tweaks: light sensitive map and NVG's optimized utilisation (thanks to Viperidae for his scripts) Map gestures with nearby players (thanks to dslyecxi for his script) HOW TO INSTALL OPEX ? It's very easy, just watch this video (think to enable subtitles to get full detailed information). VIDEOS OFFICIAL (trailers, tutorials...) [FR/EN] Gemini OTHER GAMEPLAY SERIES [FR] MrRatSuper [FR] TypeX [FR] Faiavan INTERVIEWS [FR] RackBoy PICTURES REQUIRED ADDONS / DEPENDENCIES OPEX can be played without any mod (vanilla game) but in order to enjoy all the features and possibilites, it is highly recommended to subscribe (for free !) to the official mod collection. If you don't have a large storage capacity and a very high speed internet connection, you can also select only some ot these mods. COMMUNITY FEEDBACKS Don't hesitate to share your feedbacks, your suggestions and to report any bug or issue you may encounter here on the official BIS forum, or on Steam. KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES Picture "pictures\overview.paa" not found at startup when joining server despite the picture is present in the mission folder, I don't know how to fix this. Some vehicles are sometimes exploding when spawning because collision detection is not reliable at 100% despite I'm trying to improve BI's commands as much as possible. Ambient AI animations may sometimes be weired when playing on MP. TO DO LIST (Extreme priority): fix bugs and issues reported by the community (High priority): add compatibility with best incoming mods (OFrP...) (High prioriy): create version for several other maps (Medium priority): add new tasks (Low priority): optimize and tweak all scripts and functions (or better: rewrite everything because so many time has passed since the first code I wrote !) (Low priority): correct current localizations and add new ones (will require some translators !)

Squad name: 29th Infantry Division Timezone/location: EST & GMT, NA&Europe Gamemode preference: PvP (with occasional PvE) Website address: www.29th.org Short description: The 29th Infantry Division was activated on March 14, 2005, playing in both The Trenches and Battle Grounds. The reputable 29th Infantry Division that stands before you today participates in the "realism" community of Arma 3, Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, and Squad, with past involvement in Day of Defeat, the Red Orchestra Modification, Darkest Hour: Normandy 1944, and Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm, and Arma 2. Prior to August of 2008, the 29th Infantry Division was a unit within the Half-Life Modification, Day of Defeat. When the 29th started out in Day of Defeat, there were roughly 17 members, and almost half of them were inactive. Today, the 29th ID has become one of the largest Realism Units with 350+ members. In April 2021, our unit expanded to a true Regimental size and showed no sign of showing down. Through training and discipline, we've gotten to where we stand today. We continue growing stronger by the day with new members, returning members, and even veteran members with more than a decade of service. Basic Combat Training, or BCT, is one of the ways we accomplish training new unit members, Cadets, into respectable soldiers of the 29th Infantry Division. Our intricate and well-organized office, Lighthouse, takes care of BCT and trains every soldier that enters the unit. Because of Lighthouse and its efforts, our number is constantly growing. There are many other offices and ways to get involved in the unit; here in the 29th we don't simply "get by." Hundreds of individuals have put forth hundreds of hours building the foundation on which this unit stands today, and we are proud to call ourselves soldiers of the Fightin' 29th! Language: English

Introduction The 101st Airborne Division is a United States ArmA 3 Milsim unit that focuses on portraying the events of the Second World War through the eyes of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment. We emulate a Parachute Rifle Company, the premier light-infantry of the United States. The 101st also operates a fighter-transport squadron consisting of combat and transport pilots that support ground troops in their efforts. Paratroopers were versatile in World War II, they were deployed to the Pacific, European & Mediterranean theaters. Although we primarily portray the 101st Airborne, we do campaigns focused on other units and revisioned-history events. Some of these range from the snowy forests of Finland, the luscious jungles of the Pacific, and of course the fields of Normandy. All of our missions are made in-house with a lot of care - such as custom-scripted events and interactions that most communities can't pull off. We have a heavy emphasis on organization and professionalism, but we're still a community. We play together outside of ArmA and build lasting friendships through gaming, with a heavy emphasis on camaraderie. Come join us, and portray the airborne!

So I'm a sucker for small details. Quick and briefly I'll say to look into vehicle damaged models(blown up state), needs a revision. I don't think that an rpg round to any vehicle should make all its tires dissappear or like on the humvee, where the A pillar I believe is bent inwards. The vehicle destroyed state models are the same of an aircraft Guided bomb that's done its job on them. The vehicles should stay as they were before they were destroyed, here is an image of what just an rpg does. Knocks the motor out , but all tires are there, not lowered from missing suspension due to explosion(the most common model developers use for games, the lowered to the ground and slanted wheels damaged model). Just knocks the vehicle out. All tires should stay on, or atleast disappear if a missle or rocket directly hits the wheel. What we don't want for the game is some Regular objects as aftermath of a battle. We want damage that tells a story of what happened there. I guess what I'm trying To say is that after vehicle is blown up it just looks like an object we could can place there from the objects list in armavision. Remember never do copy and paste methods to your games. Next would be smoke columns should be much taller. Much much taller. And last longer I'd say. Other than that, you guys are killing it and I highly enjoy the game! If you guys truly listen to the community. I'd assume we'll see these changes !

We are a brand new unit in the ARMA 3 scene and are looking for new members to join. We are a realism unit that is opened with billets and ranks that need filling. We are not gonna make you run laps or do virtual pushups if you mess up however we have other ways like simply kicking you from the server if you mess around too much. Be able to understand when the time is to smoke and joke then get serious for the folks who enjoy the realism aspect to all of this. What makes us different?: We operate on a realistic basis on ARMA 3 to keep the immersion for all players going. We also have a developing storyline within the deployments or campaign of the unit. That means anything that happens on the ground in operation has a chance to affect the overall mission or story of the campaign's flow. For example if you kill more civilians then you are likely to encounter a higher level of insurgency and landmines during operations. Even taking down enemy communication lines or field HQ’s will have positive or negative effects on the current operation. Speaking with civilians or assisting civilians might provide more intel on the ground. Maybe it's real or maybe it's fake, who knows! If you find this intriguing and are interested come talk with us in our Discord! https:https://discord.gg/NRm6qpQX Requirements: We have a 16+ policy however if younger you may join under the guise that you can be mature. To roleplay your rank and name in game for the sake of everyone else's immersion. Follow the Unit Rules and Regulations. We operate mainly on Saturdays and Sundays 1900 EST, but honestly if more then 4 members are online we can operate anytime in the week as well. Have ARMA 3 and respected Unit Mods with TeamSpeak. Active at least 3 times a month. Cannot be a leader in the unit if you are dual Milsiming. Positions that are currently open. To those that prove they have prior service or overall well versed in knowledge and combat leadership ability.

We are a realism-based, mature team that functions primarily as US Army Special Forces ODAs. We are a community of people who enjoy working together and recreating the intensity of combat without the onus of having to role-play military rank and courtesies in and out of the game (commonly called mil-sim). The 5th SFG operates its training and missions on Eastern Time (North America) GMT -5, Fridays at 2000 EST (training and live fire), and Saturdays at 2000 EST (campaign missions). We may have other missions and training sessions during the week, but most members get together at our set times. Our tactics are based on real-world training documents and videos as well as our own experience in the virtual battlefield. We train, not like some units do where they want you to memorize Army ranks and such, but how you can become a vital part of your ODA and perhaps even lead an A-team yourself someday. NOTE: You must be 18 years of age to join, speak English, have a working copy of ARMA 3, a working microphone, a decent internet connection, and be willing to download and install mods (we offer technical support). You must be willing to work with others and communicate, get shot at, have things explode nearby, jump into and out of helicopters and airplanes, operate in foul weather and darkness and generally stay with your battle buddies. https://discord.gg/BbawGRaCCj Drop by our discord and ask any questions you might have, get support in installing our mods, setting up Teamspeak, and becoming a member of a Special Forces Group (Virtual).

Soldiers start as a recruit, but quickly advance through the ranks, earning medals and ribbons, and progressing through leadership development in a community dedicated to realism and in this case, historical authenticity. Arma 3 Career Pathway: https://7cav.us/threads/401/ Teamspeak information: https://wiki.7cav.us/wiki/Teamspeak Discord: https://discord.7cav.us/ Website: https://7cav.us/ Feel free to reach out to me with any questions either on these forums or through Discord. -2LT.Hess.J- A highlight of training from Charlie Company : Opportunities within 7th Cav include: Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, is the air asset of the 7th Cavalry.

1st International Response Force An International Military Simulation Unit dedicated to a high level of tactical simulation. The 1st International Response Force is an International Realism/MilSim unit dedicated to a high level of tactical simulation. As a Unit we intentionally choose not to base ourselves on a real life unit so that we can use a structure that is based on the real world but merges officers and NCOs to reduce redundancy. We are a newly launched unit that has been in development for eight months so that we could get our systems perfectly established for the type of experience we want to create. Here are just some of the examples of what defines us: Strong Foundations Spending eight months developing a unit comes with some advantages - we have used our over three years of experiencing running MILSIM/REALISM groups to design a group that will allow us to reach a great level of military simulation without suffering a unit collapse because of boredom and paperwork. We decided to close down our old unit which had more than 140 active players so that we could dedicated ourselves to building a robust MILSIM group that would stand the test of time. The 1st IRF is designed to grow to 160 people, which is in our experience the largest active group that we can maintain at our desired level of quality. Rigorous Training As a unit we have over 30 MOS codes backed up with more than 35 training programs which combined total over 700 A4 pages of written training content. All of our training programs are written by people with real life experience but have been adapted to our specific ARMA environment. This is a step change to the regular “Modified Field Manual” approach of some units as it means we are only training useful and applicable information. The 1st IRF is an environment where anyone can fulfill their ambitions of leadership at any level in confidence that they will receive the highest quality training necessary to perform their function in a correct and standardized way. We don’t believe in making it up as we go along and are religious in our dedication to standards and interoperability. Deployments We don’t believe in the weekly operation concept that many units use. It is brittle and does not work well for international communities. Instead we use a 5 week deployment cycle in our unique deployment battlespace. Elements in the IRF operate on independent deployment cycles with 1 week of training, 3 weeks of operations ( scheduled on a per element basis working around availability ) and 1 week of off time so that members are free to enjoy other games. This system would not work if not for our dedicated team of 57As who manage and run the deployment environment to ensure it is providing a high quality MILSIM experience. A Wide Variety of Elements The 1st IRF is home to a wide variety of element types including infantry ( Airborne, Air Assault, Amphibious, Light and Mechanized Infantry ), Aviation ( Fixed and Rotary Wing ), Logistics ( Air Traffic Control and Logistical Supply Teams ), Armored ( Bradley and Paladin crews ) and Leadership Elements. Each Element has a custom training program and mission set but is equally useful in the battlespace. We do not have any element for the sake of having them and each is essential to our successful operation in the deployment environment. This is due to our “No Magic” policy meaning that we do not use teleports or arsenal’s in the deployment space. If a member dies or a unit runs low on supplies - a real team will need to make the supply run or reinsert that individual. Friendly and Mature Community We pride ourselves on having an open and welcoming community. We only allow 16+ members to become uniformed members of our group but younger players can still join our public servers in order to learn and experience with us. Unit dramas are a constant threat that can be extremely destabilizing to a unit; To prevent this we operate with a high level of transparency as well as defining our stance on all actions in our Discipline Guidelines. Our command staff do not discriminate and we are publicly committed to equal rules and punishments regardless of rank or position. We release all of our materials and tools publicly so that we are held accountable by our community. We are driven to be the best not because of proprietary tools but because of our community. You can learn more about our group and the roles available by visiting our website at: https://1st-irf.com or joining us on TeamSpeak at: ts.1st-irf.com We require that applicants are: 16 or Over Have access to a Microphone and TeamSpeak Maturity and a wish to learn Our info in a short list: Country: International Operations: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday - 1900GMT Timezone: GMT Play Style: Realism/MilSim Attendance Requirements: x2 Operations per month Age: 16+ Website:https://1st-irf.com/ Teamspeak: ts.1st-irf.com:9987 Discord: discord.gg/Auz5Jsp As we are just launching this is a great opportunity to grow with the unit and become part of our founding group!

The goal is to make player drop the backpack to get access in its inventory and so make them more realistic." UPDATE 15th Sept. -18: An addon version made!

Скачать видео World War III started on 21 July 1985. How exactly did the war sparked is out of anyone's guess now. Probably a development of the recent Maldens crisis. Frontier clashes between Warsaw Treaty troops and NATO forces along the Inner German border quickly escalated into an all-out nuclear exchange with thousands of warheads raining down throughout Europe. As a young Soviet conscript, who serves his draft in the GDR, jump into the thickest of action amidst the atomic butchery of the early battles in central Germany.

4th Marine Raider Battalion Realism Unit The 4th Marine Raider Battalion Realism Unit, aka 4th MRB, is a realism unit in the Arma 3 community. We simulate a fictional unit within the Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The 4th MRB is structured and organized identical to a real life MARSOC battalion, with attached supporting USSOCOM units. The 4th MRB was founded by long-serving members of a different Arma 3 realism unit which emulates another real life United States Marine Corps Unit. The 4th MRB attempts to maintain the discipline, professionalism, and esprit de corps of real US Marine special operators. The fun and excitement members of this unit enjoy is the result of the difficult and challenging operations we are asked to perform and in developing skills and unique tactics commonly practiced by special operators within the special operations community. These typically include (though are not limited to) direct action missions, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, counter-insurgency, unconventional warfare, maritime interdiction, counter-narco terrorism, hostage rescue, preparation of the environment, security force assistance, gas & oil platform operations, and special clandestine operations. Based out of Marine Camp Currin, Bozacaada, Turkey - the unit currently consists 4th Marine Raider Battalion, 4th Marine Raider Support Battalion, and associated SOCOM supporting elements from 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and 27th Special Operations Group, 27th Special Operations Wing. The 4th MRB is an immersion-orientated, role-playing realism unit. By considering an application you have similar interests.

The Academy About The academy is a place centered around learning and teaching Arma 3 milsim material. We offer an open and collective process of learning and teaching a variety of milsim related topics related to ground, air, and leadership disciplines. The Academy is not a milsim unit, it's a community where you can come and go as you please. For example, if your unit does not offer combat diving training or rotary flight training material, you can come to the Discord server to ask questions and soak up knowledge. You can learn material to prepare for a qualification at your home unit or to prepare yourself for a unit's training pipeline. If you're looking to share the knowledge that you have then there are plenty of opportunities to do so. If you have a thing for topics ranging from reconnaissance and surveillance or unit recruitment and retention, there are plenty of channels for you to share your knowledge and insights. Future Plans We plan to fill up the several topic channels with a variety of resources and answers as the community grows. We'll also be expanding our YouTube channel to feature a variety of shows to help spread insights and knowledge around the Arma 3 community. Lastly we plan to expand the team for growth.
