I have a few suggestions to improve the game after coming back after a while and experiencing some wonkiness. 1. Base Defence Improvements In its current implementation, the base AA defence is so ineffective at taking out jets who brazenly fly over base it might as well shoot fireworks. Ages ago, the base defence used to consist of Cheetah's who could easily kill jets with their radar guided guns and titan AA missiles. I suggest restoring it back to its previous state. 2. Jet Selection This system is very buggy and poor, it makes me want to never touch jets ever again. Firstly just addressing the transport leaderboards, you don't have to incentivise people to fly transport, consistently when I hop on transport pilot slots are filled so why have the arbitrary limiter on jet quality tied to transport points. Second, the system is extremely bugged, even when requesting specific roles, consistently you get Wipeouts when requesting AA jets, and Buzzards, so many Buzzards. Lastly, why even have the buzzard present? It is simply a jet that does not excel at anything, it can't perform as a AA jet because the loadout doesn't favour air to air combat and most air supremacy jets can easily out pace it, and its role as a CAS jet leaves a lot to be desired with limited bomb load or manoeuvrability, even as a "multi-role" it fails in comparison to the black wasp. I suggest one of two things to occur, either you keep the current system (probably easier to do) but you remove the buzzard from the loadout or you remove the current system entirely and let players select which jet to pick. Ironside players don't have to earn medic points so that they get a semi-decent tank, they just choose the tank. Many beautiful staff members like Ratso are offering to spawn jets that are not shit, but maybe instead of adding another bit of work to your staff, instead fix the system so that they have one less thing to worry about. 3. Infinite Ammo I understand the balance argument that is at place here, having Tigris' run out of ammo would make the game trivial, but certain things in this game should not be given infinite ammo. My list is as follows: - Hostile Jets: Having jets with infinite ammo means they can infinitely spam you with AA missiles while using infinite flares to defeat most missiles. Jets are temporary, they come back frequently, don't make them hell to defeat. They are so past the point of annoyance that not even base defence can defeat a Gryphon. - Hostile AT Infantry: I have experience first hand this issue, enemy infantry squads seems to have infinite rockets which really gets me. I'm outside the AO riding in my bobcat where a single Recon squad fires, not 1, not 4, not 6 but 8 rockets at my vehicle. It's just getting stupid. Hopefully this advice can change this server for the better.

I agree, The server has been grasping at Helicopter CAS or no CAS + AA jet for a hell of a long time. Currently there is no reason to have CAS, the current enemy setup doesn't support CAS jets being any more effective than a UAV operator. Nor is there any ability for someone who doesn't spend their entire week transporting people to play something other than buzzard. I'd say to just remove CAS, make the SPAAG spawn more frequent and maybe put some helicopter CAS (guns and rockets) on a time respawn. That will clarify the roles a bit, UAV operator aims for hard targets, helicopter opts for light vehicles and infantry, the SPAAG aims for aircraft.

From what I have seen the models are better than RHS, however from what the devs/PR people for the mod have said is that it wasn't released in a finished state...... Vehicle interiors, helicopters and jets are incoming for the mods, so sometime in the near future it will be good,

Jet CAS is currently too easy, if you factor out deaths due to Arma physics AOs can be nuked with GBUs and Small Diameters (which self lock) with ease. At least with Helicopter CAS, you have to be more aware and careful with your actions.

I half agree with you. CAS jets I could see being removed easily, the role that CAS jets provide can be easily replaced by helicopters with Skyfires, GBUs and ATGMs being mounted to helicopters (even the reward Kajman spawns with AGMs sometimes). However the role that AA jets cannot be easily replaced by heli's, and I personally would like to see AA jets be a permanent fixture. This would involve removing GBUs from AA, also any small diameter bombs. However, I also warn, that if we do proceed with helicopter CAS, that we should at least be able to modify our pylons and if not, maybe be able to pick certain load outs at the very least (Light CAS: Rocket pods/small diameter/gun pods and Heavy CAS: GBUs/AGMs or something similar).

Or you could just disable its ability to rearm from crates/containers. The MRL relative to other artillery vehicles is a whole lot faster, and wouldn't be an issue to drive to an FOB or back to base for rearming.

The following is a guide for the Ironside (Tank Crew) role present in the server: I heavily suggest you go through this guide chronologically! Ironside Basics Ammo Types Protection CSAT and You Tank Analysis Parting words: Tracked Tanks CANNOT Be Airlifted!!

Would it simply be worth shutting off battle eye for the server? I mean, only trusted users play on it.

Is there a fix for the battleeye kick scenario, I missed last night's 15 player population and tonight's hijinks because of constant kick. I even went and deleted battleeye files and verified files to get a clean install and nothing. Please help!

There was one where we used to air drop tanks from the vehicle black fish. Or even better, use those small single room military structures as mobile metal shields. Both glitches, both were fun as.

It was indeed a shit show at the start, but once we lost the Outpost after zerging it things got serious and we started doing supply missions and successfully converted a town. You just gotta account for the little bit of retardation that comes with I&A members then give 'em time to get serious. When I logged off last night things were serious and down to business.

Just remember to edit the mission file to make the AKs, Mosins and their ammo infinite spawn on the arsenal AND attempt to change the AAF to GREF. Both official and community versions use GREF as Independent, and it'll make the early game more balanced as we wont have MRAPs wrecking us at the start with basic weapons.

Why'd you thing they removed the ATGMs? They can lock onto enemy vehicles at 4-5km out of AO, oneshot most vehicles in the game and the Kajman itself can stay in a safe area and if played effectively can wipe AO's. I can agree that the gunpod is stupid, I would rather have Skyfire pods. However, like the CAS jets with AGM removal, the use of lock on long range anti-vehicle is skill less, safe and contributes to CAS power creep. Even then, the 30mm is very effective against IFVs, Infantry and light vehicles within 2km and if given Skyfires or Mk82's it would be a beast at AOE damage.

The issue with CAS from what I have noticed is when the UAV operator is on, since the UAV operator bypasses the rule for lazing having both slots occupied leads to the utter destruction of the AO by them. I have a few ideas on how to balance jets: - Limiting jets to being air superiority exclusively, considering the enemy jets will self laze bombs tanks and other ground vehicles are more susceptible now more than ever. - Limiting jets to unguided munitions, this entails the use of Mk82s and rocket pods to dish out area of effect damage (Similar to the play style of the current neophron loadout), would also stop the double team UAV and pilot raping the AO. - Removing jets entirely and simply adding a cheetah spawn to ironside. About the spawns that @Tungsten has mentioned, I believe that to be a good tiering system for the tanks. Personally I believe the spawn timers should only exist for spawn 3. My question revolves around the Spawn 3 category, with the Rhino it poses the best possible weapon in the game ATGM-LGs which can hit a target at massive ranges over terrain + the Rhino is an air-droppable chassis, similarly the Angara is the best tank in the game. Spawn 3 should be the Rhino and the Angara on a 30-60 minute timer. With the K variant being a side reward. Sadly the AA Nyx is pretty useless as previously mentioned, a possibility to fix such would be to edit the tank to have radar (5-6km range at least).

Considering the release of the Nyx, we need some German camouflage

Testing through some of the vehicles and have tested that the 20mm Auto cannon cannot hull damage any IFV, only Track/Turret/Engine damage. So its a no go for using the AWC against other AFVs, but it seems to be good against ifrits and such. The AWC can sustain .50 APDS and 20mm AP, anything other will kill it. The MGS is resistant to 20mm and 30mm AC fire with 40mm and above killing it. The 120mm/125mm on the MGS and T-140 respectively behave like their current ingame counterparts would. The AWC can be slung by Taru/Huron. "DIS GONNA BE GUD". Prowlers have an AT variant with a Titan, Qillians have a AT variant with a Metis. Slat armor will protect against RPG-eqsue systems. (RPG-42/7, MAAWS, Metis) and HEAT tank projectiles. Slat armor is most effectively defeated via HE (Destroys most of Slat on the vehicle/ side) or Armor piercing (Goes straight through). ERA plating on tanks now can block all kinds of tank ammunition and AT missiles (Slammer UP, Varsuk). T

So from my knowledge what we are getting (Real life counter parts): - Germany, Wiesel AWC 1 and or 2 (Nyx Armoured weapons carrier, AAF). These vehicles where produced in 1993, and are a multi-role armoured fighting vehicle (NATO technical term), they serve multiple roles including being armed with AA, AT missiles or autocannons, being used as an ambulance vehicle or being used as an APC. The Wiesel 1 was most commonly used with a 20mm auto cannon or fitted with ATGMS, the Wiesel 2 was used with a 25mm auto cannon or anti air missiles. - Italy, B1 Centauro (Rhino MGS, NATO). The Centauro was produced in 1991, while its turret doesn't seem to directly imitate the Arma 3 model its hull and gun do share visual similarities and share the same calibre. Apart from the 105mm and 120mm calibre tank destroyer variants, it has a 25mm armed auto cannon variant, a 76mm SPAAG variant and a 155mm artillery variant. In the game we see the 120mm variant. - Russian Federation, T-14 Armata (T-140 Angara, CSAT). This vehicle and its Infantry Fighting Vehicle counter part, the T-15 were initally shown off at a Military parade in 2015. The T-14 specifically has a unmanned turret with a 125mm gun that is capable of firing normal projectiles (HEAT, HE and APFSDS) while also being to fire Thermobaric (HE essentially) and Tandem-HEAT ATGMs out of the barrel. As mentioned previously the T-15 is based on the same chassis and uses a single 30mm cannon and four ATGM launchers. Prototypes of this tank exist using a 152mm cannon.

Just a general question, say someone has donated $40 towards I&A, will that person receive 4 months? Or is it a single month for whatever amount donated before the change?

There is no Artillery computer on mortars which essentially make them a direct line of sight weapon, which obviously defeats the purpose of mortars. Can we get this added back in.

Mortars have no artillery computer

I've heard rumours about having a dedicated PhysX GPU increasing minimum frames. Just want to ask: (1) Does it actually effect the game and (2) what effect does it have on the game,

Firstly, I understand in a logistical way, the bobcat is an extremely powerful tool in delivering Ammo, Repair and Refuel in one platform. However the current method of balancing such power feels a bit too harsh, as it is spotted by Missile Troops, Tanks, Helicopters and Jets well out of their engagement range and killed at the sleight of hand. Instead of reverting to an alternate method of balance, use the already existing methods of balance: - Speed, it is terribly slow with a 50km/h top speed and 60km/h if you happen to throw it off a cliff. - Armour, its armour can sustain auto cannon fire which is expected for a platform based off an early Merkava model but it is easily destroyed by large calibre cannons. EDIT 1: 30mm rounds have a 1/10 chance of frontal pen of a bobcat and will cleave through its side armour. - Size, the bobcat is not a small vehicle, nor is it easy to move in a dried up river bed, it is often a big target and cannot move to cover easily if being engaged. - Weapons, only armed with a 6.5mm machine gun which can sometimes fail to damage an Ifrit. Considering these characteristics above, the logistical power of such a machine does not seem too powerful when you have to take into effect its performance in combat scenarios, let alone travelling to combat. Open to hear opinions on whether the Bobcat should(n't) keep its perma laze or other ways to balance the machine.
