All i'm seeing in this thread are people complaining that they can't be a one man army, ghille-LMG-medic with a missile launcher, the server has class roles for a reason, if you're worried that there's going to be a lot of tanks, play AT then(You can see how many AT players are on BEFORE you join the match). I can comfortably fit 9 magazines for a primary and 4 AT rockets into a single soldier without using any stupidly large backpacks or clothing(All NATO). If you find yourself running out of ammo during an AO then go to the supply depot, it exists for a reason, or bring a vehicle with spare ammo in it. Now i can understand people want to come and slaughter AI in droves, but that's fun for about 2 minutes and it ruins the experience for people who want to play a little more tactically. (I don't mean milsim, i mean people who want to come on and play an engineer or play an autorifleman ect, people who want to work together with the TEAM which they're a part of) Also if you play arma to be a one man army then why did you buy arma? That isn't the kind of playstyle that arma tries to offer. There are loads of games that cater more to this playstyle. Now some people are saying that these changes were some knee-jerk reaction to a recent uproar, but it isn't. These changes have been long requested and only now that they've been implemented have people decided to come and provide input, there was plenty of chance to put your argument in, for literally months. The I&A forums don't get posts often so you might want to pay attention when people actually do post. @Ptarmigann I couldn't quote all the parts specifically because there's a lot of different posts but this mostly pertains to things you've mentioned.

@Ptarmigann I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Can you point me to which CSAT uniform supports higher loads over a NATO one? They have higher ballistic protection and weight sure, but that's it. It's the same with the Ghillies and pilot coveralls and every other uniform with a CSAT counterpart. If stamina was enabled or if you had it enabled yourself in the options menu, you definitely wouldn't be using CSAT gear because it weighs a lot. People complain about lots of things and then when you fix those issues, other people complain about the fixes. Can't win. You (the players) can't complain about the AOs being too easy and then go running around in CSAT gear with crazy high ballistic protection. The MAAW with the rangefinder was limited to AT only because it's too easy to use. The 3 higher calibre marksman rifles were restricted because they are usually one shot kills. I haven't heard anything negative about removing CSAT gear from anyone except you, heaps of people say that if you wear it, you're going to get teamkilled, or that people wearing it are "idiots" or something similar.

this I&A is not and never will be milsim. i dont get why people want it to be

There’s your issue. Your carrying an RPG with 6-7 rockets. As an MMG gunner you should only be carrying a few FAKs for yourself, maybe grenades and a bunch of boxes of ammo. Unless I’m an AT Gunner I will usually just carry an RPG42 with a single round in the tube and that’s it. Doesn’t affect my carry weight.

I haven't? The CSAT gear provided more ballistic protection.. Thats it.. It also made you a target for me to shoot at because your dressed like the ****en enemy! If your so hurt that you can no longer hold enough RPG's for an entire AT Team go have fun somewhere else. Whenever I play Infantry, I go sharpshooter, take a SPAR-17, normal fatigues or Starvou fatigues, Kerry Rig and a Leg Strap/Pouch. I get killed in about 1-3 shots.. Doesn't mean I can't storm a town and decimate every enemy in sight though.. If your good enough it doesn't matter what you have. (Side note: I don't think its fair to let 1 guy put on a specific loadout, then be able to wipe out majority of hostiles leaving the rest of the people within the AO to shoot at snakes..) Maybe don't get shot so much.. Sweet, use the Carrier Special Rig, alot of carry space and the most tanky vest. Best part is: it isn't a CSAT vest! A U T O R I F L E M A N, I wonder what weapon system an A U T O R I F L E M A N is supposed to use? Maybe not a "normal assault" rifle or a "marksman" rifle.. - I understand you want to come on and just destroy AI (or so it seems) but you've got to take into account that the providers of this server have to let the other patrons also have fun..

Hey all, Effective as of the 3PM AEST restart on the 14/7/18 we will be making some changes to the AL rules. The changes to the rules are as follows: 6.4 - The killing of an incapacitated person will be seen as RDM (Knocked out or restrained) 2.8 - Rebels may not enter city limits with Rebel gear or vehicles without a valid RP reason. This is inclusive of armoured apparel (IE vests and helmets), concealing clothing (Balaclavas) and weapons. 3.4 If you are revived by a medic, you may not rejoin in any combat that caused your death. 3.4.1 You cannot be engaged by the party that caused your death in the same combat situation after being revived

Jewbacca for prime minister ?

We all know the favorite littlebird skin of wasp and that pilots can also wear it....well.....things happened and we had a wing of wasp skinned pilots in wasp skinned littlebirds

And also an addendum onto one of my earlier posts - I believe enemies only Paradrop in during a Defence. If your situated too far outside the HQ with an AT setup, you are going to die. Unless your like 1km out of the AO itself with a tank or something. So your idea of the enemies paradropping and removing any setup AT areas is kinda a niche example...also I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone set up an AT position (as in static launchers), although it would be interesting to see it utilised. Most just use shoulder mounted launchers.

It can easily be done before because CSAT gear had a lot of everything and really helped fill out the role of AT even if you're not an AT specialist yourself. But now CSAT gears are removed you can still carry about 6 rockets but with roughly 3 crates of ammo rather than 6-7, meaning that you would run out really quickly half way into the fighting. I&A has always been about the power fantasy and being a one man army as you go up against a whole platoon with your squad, trying to force it into a milsim by removing the ability to carry enough firepower to even realistically provide enough support is just trying to contradict what this gamemode started out as. I've been talking to a lot of people these few days and almost everyone thought that the change is really just uncalled for. Coupled with the new weapon restrictions it really doesn't achieve anything but give people more mixed feelings. Switching class is... I dunno, not really a viable option? Your squad and everyone around you will get rolled by that one armour as you take your time to respawn, get a launcher and fly back to the AO. Unlike medics nobody really want to fill the AT roles because of the aforementioned issue where you must carry rockets, especially now that we're not only carrying less but also have to take more damage from CSAT gear removal. Moving the MAAW to AT only does not give me the incentives to play AT either, this change just felt like a strange step in a direction that caters only to a very small amount of players (people that actually come to the forum and ask for these kind of things while people that enjoy the gamemode would only give minor feedbacks like tweaks and QoL improvements).

They should be limited to Autorifleman only. Will fix for next restart.

So you want to carry 7 RPG rounds and carry a shit tonne of Boxes of Ammo? You would need a mod or something to do that. It’s not something that can be done server side (to my knowledge). During prime time there usually plenty of tanks and other AT assets to destroy armour. If there isn’t, switch over yourself. If there is truly no AT, then the tank should be there stil.

Maybe I should consider running but when I think about it he would vote fo me anyway lol

It is intentional. The idea is it is a good task for newer players as its easy money but the longer you play the more risky it becomes. It's an anti-troll thing too because you either pay a few hundred thousand to rent a truck or you can pay little to nothing and get one in a delivery mission.

Cheers, thanks for the explanation. Let's see how it goes! @James32

If cops are using it to metagame/powergame people with bounties I'll personally ensure they are taken care of because that isn't acceptable. As for reasons it is primarily due to how cancerous decc' s in Sydney are with swarms of civilians in Sydney. People covering their identities made declarations nearly impossible to enforce and lead to either innocents being shot in deccs they weren't a part of or cops having a complete inability to keep the peace due to it being impossible to tell who half the people are. Outside of city limits it doesnt make such a big difference so they are allowed but inside city limits when you have 30-50 people swarming around in close proximity with varying degrees of armaments it was causing large numbers of issues for civs and cops alike and as such we have taken remedial action to see if it will improve gameplay quality in Sydney. If you want a roleplay narrative to justify it the tyrannical government of altis ruled by Mr Blue, Mr Cinnamon donut and Mr Lesstza has rolled out spy cameras all through the city and to ensure they can monitor every citizen face coverings have been outlawed

Won't this now open up a whole new issue of police bounty hunting any high value targets within city limits immediately upon seeing their name? It doesn't exactly fit within roleplay constraints that a wanted criminal would enter the city undisguised with such a high risk of encountering police. What was the reason for adding this rule?

2.8 - Rebels may not enter city limits with Rebel gear or vehicles without a valid RP reason. This is inclusive of armoured apparel (IE vests and helmets), concealing clothing (Balaclavas) and weapon what is the reason for adding no balaclava to this rule 6.4 - The killing of an incapacitated person will be seen as RDM (Knocked out or restrained) I can understand the cop side reason which is to keep the restrained and tazed people alive, but as for rebel side are you trying to say we cant get behind someone we are in dec with and knock him out and kill them, and if we have an uncompliant rebel ready to shoot we have to unrestrain him before shooting him so why

With 6.4 Does this account For hostage Situations? (When cops don't reply in X amount of time)

@Shima @Jewbacca @Snappers It looks like we're going to have a solo senate... In the case we don't get 2 more Senator applications, this is what we're going to do: We're going to have a vote for Deputy Prime Minister. The senate will be suspended and executive power split between the Prime Minister and the Deputy.

Snappers for Dictator!

I went through the restrictions today in preparation for the next update. Here's how I set it: Snipers can use SMGs/handguns/sniper rifles/basic launchers. Fixed. Cyrus, Mar10 and ASP-1 restricted to marksman/sharpshooter only. No. Yes. No.

@Joshua_ Yes it will include Bandanas

@How to apply for the Senate 1. Make a reply to this post with the following application filled out: ------- Name: Frank Snow Age: 15 How much time have you played in Strayagaming? 400 Years (4OO Hours) Why would you be a good senator? Well. My name is Frank Snow I have pretty much spent my whole time here as a Civilian and a Rebel. While playing as those roles I saw what was wrong with this country and things that need to be improved. For same examples the Police force, their gear is extremely overpowered and shouldn't be used within city limits unless something like a terrorist attack was happening. There need to be more jobs for civilians, if civilians get more jobs that pay the government making everything cheaper etc Car Prices go down Legal gun store firearm prices go down everything that is civilian will go down, this would be better for our economy and society. implementing a welfare system to help families and homeless people In need of a little bit of money every day or every week to get them back on their feet. Thank you for listing to me vote for me to become you Chairman of banking, Housing and Urban Affairs or whatever The Prime Minter decides to make me if I pass the vote.
