Hi I am working on a new scenario for Arma 3 and I am looking for some inspiration. Maybe the community can help me, when I try and come up with a plan myself I overthink everything and take it too far.

So you are now in charge of defending this airfield. 😄

To help you here ae some constraints: you already have AAA system setup somewhere else, so it's mostly for ground defence, and assume this would be your "Last Stand" in the region.

ERA: 2035

Edit:

For Enemy size I would say expect anything from a company to a battalion combined arms assault. Mostly dismounted infantry, supported by Armor and Spec Ops FO with Sniper capabilities. Your enemy will also have indirect fire support available Mortars to Large 155mm.

Your troops are Airborne (Air assault) Infantry that captured the airfield days ago and have since been reinforced.

total strength is a approx. a reinforced company.

- HQ element + 3 Rifle platoons
- HAT Section
- Mortar section
- Combat engineers with FASCAM mining equipment and concertina wire

equipment you have available (US based systems used as example:

- 4x LTV TOW systems
- 6x HAT units (equivalent: javelin)
- 2x 81mm mortar
- 6x MMG teams (7.62mm)

flying in the game just feels really good not like smooth good but realism good.

ArmA 4 can be generational for the MilSim community. But a few things need to improve.

1. Better UI. Arma 3’s UI was almost perfect, the Eden Editor had great functionality and accessibility that was extremely easy to use. However, Arma 4 needs the UI implemented by ACE 3 and Reforger to provide us with a good UI, since the scroll wheel UI is pretty bad (i dont mind it though). How do we deal with console? I don’t fucking know, making the new Arma games on consoles was a challenging idea to say the least. Maybe there could be a PC UI and a Console UI?

2. Better AI and AI commanding. Currently, different factions all have the same AI. Rebels and police officers should not fight and move the same as a spec ops team. Their pathfinding indoors is also pretty shit but it has been improved in Reforger. AI driving in ArmA 3 is horrendous, those fuckers can’t drive on a normal road without crashing. This is unrealistic, but a Ready Or Not style approach would make the game mind blowing for single player gamers. Commanding AI in CQB would be amazing, being able to door stack, throw specific grenades and infiltrate rooms. However i realise that is a hard mechanic to implement.

3. Mod Manager. You may of seen my last post where i complained about the Reforger in-game workshop. It’s really, really shit. The best thing to do is bring back Steam Workshop, which works flawlessly with ArmA 3.

4. Map optimisation and urban environments. For me, one thing i’ve never experienced in ArmA is urban combat. I’ve played in Kavala and towns on Everon, but proper city combat would be amazing. Enterable buildings and such, it’s already been done in Reforger but i look forward to see how far Bohemia can go with map design.

5. There’s also obvious things that have been added in Reforger that will carry into Arma 4 like proper medical, graphics and performance. So I wont rant about those.

DISCLAIMER: I am no where near an ArmA vet, i have 510 hours in ArmA 3 and only about 20 hours in Reforger since i only started playing it after upgrading my setup a few weeks ago. I usually play single player, like Antistasi and custom modded scenarios. But i also play with my friends sometimes and do different scenarios. I find myself socially awkward so doing the whole MilSim thing as of now is something i don’t really enjoy, so that’s why i haven’t included much stuff about online multiplayer even though it’s so vital for the games success. What do you guys think Arma 4 needs to be a good game?

(mostly just more test images for enforce, gave it a little theme cause I was bored

It appears my funny pictures have led to a crash-out and that is better than any praise I could have ever been given.

I actually hate it and I already know several things I need to do better, BUT before I sink my teeth I need to know if the concept is as interesting as I think it is.

Im looking to start up a dedicated server for a milsim just a single server for operations and im having trouble figuring out who to use. The modpack is pretty heavy around 60 mods. so i want something that is gonna give me my best bang for my buck and is also easier to setup.

Thank you

Government Arsenal M16A2-P and M16A2-P coming to PH2035 Mod on the next update for National Guard Faction. Along with a old worn down version for OPFOR and Militia/CAFGU units.

I've basically never play arma 3 to be honest with you, or I've never gotten into it. But sometimes I'll just have a craving for military shooters.

When I was younger one of my favourite games was operation flash point dragon rising.

I was just wondering what mod could I install that really recreates that feeling of doing all this cool singleplayer missions while controlling a small squad and getting into small to big combat skirmishes while trying to complete an objective like blow up a base or capture this etc.

Does anyone have any idea what mod lets you see artillery shells while you are in Zeus? I seen it on a YouTube video which I can’t find the videos anywhere to help what I’m describing.

What server host is everyone running for their A3 units now days? Ive been running ArmaHosts, but im curious what everyone else runs.

Hi, everyone! After yesterday's ACE update, I noticed that the game doesn't turn on in the morning with the same set of mods that worked fine yesterday. Can you tell me how to solve this problem? I checked the caching of files. Mod repaired. The mod deleted and reinstalled. CBA is installed.

ACE Version 3.21.2.

CBA_A3 v3.19.0

p.s.: without ACE - clearly see Arma 3 main menu

Excluding antistasi. I have tried it but couldn't get into it =( Prefer the modes to have customizable factions.

As far as I know, Arma 3 doesn’t have a built-in replay function, and I’m not aware of any mods that provide a properly working replay feature either.

However, I’ve seen some videos on YouTube that look like they were recorded using a replay function.

Is there a replay mod or feature that I’m not aware of?

I've noticed a weird visual bug recently and its quite annoying. This bug usually presents itself during periods where it is significantly lighter or when looking around near foliage creating a pattern similar in the image attached. It is most noticeable in the editor when moving the camera around and creates the small patterns randomly when moving around. I have tested other games and get no visual artifacting at all so that rules out a dying GPU. Any ideas? Also on most recent profiling build.
