If a UAV Op is at the FOB and either of the stompers die, the stomper respawns at the FOB rather than main base. The UGV's appear to spawn at random locations in or around the FOB. In the first image, the UGV RCWS spawned in area that it can not leave (The gap is not big enough) and in the second image, the UGV spawned within the HQ building. From personal experience, only the UGV RCWS (Armed one) has had this issue but unsure if the unarmed variant suffers too. This has only been tested at FOB Forlorn Hope (Top Left of map)

Name: Dandoo Callsign: [K14W] Training Completed By: Kmart List all Pub Slot Inductions you have done: Jakob D Precision Alex Jarrods C Ssaro POLAIR trainings: @Michael @Michael Phelps Anthony Grey Why do you deserve a promotion? (50 Words min) I think I deserve a promotion because as being a part of POLAIR and being a Senior Constable has made me become a lot more responsible and I’ve done a lot of trainings. The down side of being a Senior Constable is I cant add recruit tags after I have done a training so I must poke or message a sergeant up to do it which can be annoying for them and me. The same thing goes for adding charges, I must always poke or message a sergeant or up to add charges. Also I think being a sergeant could also help me in POLAIR as I don’t have access to drones and this can be frustrating at times when I feel like I need them for a bank or to scope out a situation as using an officer for something like this could risk his/her life and a drone would be a lot more affordable. Who would recommend you for a promotion?

Don't Forget today is the final Invade and Annex Tanoa Xmas Event at 6pm restart! Due to the popularity of the last race event, the same will be be run again on a different course! Participation gets you an entry into the draw for a buttload of prizes!

Moving on, here is some stuff from the event courtesy of @OrionSync.

As I said theirs alot more moving parts to I and a and doesn't just operate out of a single mission file. We are all more than knowledgeable on how to operate servers but their alot of backend files that go with that including the database

@Fitz is the server manager. I am an administrator and just doing my bit and don't have access to those parts. Its also more work than just doing a new mission file because of the way parts of I and a work. At the end of the day it would be Fitz's call but I doubt the amount of work involved would be something that would happen.

First off I agree with you completely but here's some factors to consider. Majority of these events I run by myself. I've tried to do events previously and no one participates so I don't go out of my way to do them unless I it is for a special occasion. Having said that it's pointed out I need to advertise them but what would you suggest be a suitable timeframe? Method? The I and A servers have a very heavy load on them already and while yes it is a sandbox their is alot going on that I don't have control over so is also a big factor in actually making sure that normal gameplay isn't interfered with either. All events need to be setup via vanilla Zeus which is inflexible at best. Air races aren't possible because you need to be a pilot to fly planes. I have previously done chopper races. A few of suggestions have their a quite good but what works in theory doesn't always happen in practice. My primary objective on top of all my other things has been to boost Tanoa . Also please remember that without participation from players , motivation to do them will also lack. I will keep your thoughts in mind though.

To round the whole thing out, almost everything in ARMA is a little off when it comes to aviation combat. Personas talk of OODA loop cycles, sounds all well and good in classroom at 2FTS, but in reality it's broken in ARMA as fixed wing combat, including all of the AA threats, happens over 1/20th of the actual realistic distances, the threats as a whole don't relfext their real world counterparts and so forth. Even in rotary combat there are unrealistic aspects. For example, if there was any form of SPADS such as a Tunguska (or Tig in this case), NO ONE GOES IN. Artillery solves that problem, or infantry. The point of my post if to shy people away from trying to win arguments here with fancy real word aviation combat theory, when it needs to be solved on the level that brings in players to the server because they're having a good time. It's not about us having fun with out favourite helo/plane, it's about whats best for the server.

The server has been getting better content wise but the player count doesn't reflect that.

StrayaGaming Exile As many of you are already aware, over the past few weeks we have been running a private beta for an Exile server, being developed by @webbie. Strayagaming is proud to announce that as of the 22/12/18 we will be launching the Arma 3 Exile Server in its first stable build to the public. We hope to provide an enjoyable and unique Exile experience that you cannot find anywhere else in the Oceanic Arma community. The Exile server will be a PvPvE experience, and will be running on the Malden map with a total of 40 available slots. The server details: Server Name: Strayagaming | ExileZ PvPvE Server Connection URL: ex.straya.life:2302 Server Join Link: exile.joinstraya.com Available Slots: 40 Server Restarts: Every 6 hours at 12:00 and 6:00 (AEDT) Staff Details: On launch we will be having 3 members of staff for the Exile server. @webbie will be appointed as the server developer and administrator. The server will also be moderated by @Jereleet and @pkisbest Server Rules: The server rules can be found here. They can also be accessed by clicking the link in the Exile sub-forum or navigating to them via the support menu on the menu bar.

Sadly, whilst I'd love for us to regularly get a CAS helo (with ATGM's, not just rockets), I'm inclined to agree with Persona. A rotary CAS aircraft would, for most AO's, be entirely overpowered and would wreak destruction and chaos on the enemy....until it ran out of ammo. ARMA does some very silly things on a very regular basis (re: physics and ordinance), but terrain masking is terrain masking. If you do it properly and you do it often, a CAS gunship helicopter would be able to pop-up, acquire, pop-down and then lift again to launch. With Fire-and-Forget missiles, the helo's are extremely survivable.... just don't let the enemy AAA have the chance to lock you. ? Regards, SandStorm.au

What would be the point of removing jets if you're just going to fill the CAS role with helicopters? Doesn't really seem to fix anything by doing so...

Due to working 55+ Hours a week and other commitments I will be leaving Straya I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas and continues play on Straya cheers for the good times. - Jewy For the record @Mitch Said he would miss to the moon and back.
