Hey mate, Thank-you for your well thought out suggestion! I do have to say that after looking at previews of Malden I'm a huge fan of the new map and as such i will look into the possibility of this suggestion being implemented. I cant make any promises as to whether or not it will be implemented or when at this point since it's still early days but its definitely a suggestion that I'm giving serious consideration to The new terrain is extremely nice and offers a lot more diverse game-play opportunities i agree, the map is also a bit larger than straits so there are more locations to explore and play around with, it certainly seems like a far more interesting map than Stratis

Thank-you for the suggestion however I feel that doing this would remove interesting strategies involving hiding under the stores/using the underspace as cover, all for the sake of removing a small abuse which is already against server rules. If someone is glitching through the floor feel free to report them to staff so we can deal with them, however I will not be filling in the understore space with concrete blocks since that would just remove a number of strategic gameplay opportunities. I hope you understand my perspective on the issue

TFW you get called a minion

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm a pilot, i'm used to the hate

Please noooo @Unit_3397 have mercy, pilots are people too you know :'(

Yeah absolutely @Ya_Mum, i think wasteland would be way more fun when teams that have jets/big helis up can be contested, because on stratis there is no dogfighting/air to air combat, because as soon as one team has air superiority the other team cant get any assest airborn esp not jets since every vehicle store +airfield is camped by 5 attack helis, it would love to see proper air to air combat, would make the air game far more fun instead of the take control of air then own the map it is now (I know i'm a major offender of this sorry ). Plus a bigger map in general is impossible to own for a single team which means the stacking issue is basically a non-factor since even with more number 1 team cant just shut the other out of the map everywhere at once

Tutorial on the correct usage of Your and You're; For example; 1) You're welcome 2)Your tutorial on how to spell Tanoa is the best

I like Tanoa, it just feels like a far more diverse map, plus it has more than 1 airfield which would help with jet/vehicle balance since it would be harder for a few people to reliably camp stores since there can be far more/they can be further apart

@DIRTYSCRUB It has been addressed with price balancing after the wipe... and for the reference only about 180-200 of my all time kills are from mortars. The amount of money everything in the game gives has been halved making vehicles effectively >twice as expensive when you take into account most of the price changes. And given they have the money to afford it players should be able to buy whatever they want with the money, be it helis, jets, mortars or tanks, they are part of the game, arma isn't ground/close combat only, it's a diverse game where a range of tactics can be used and every tactic has a counter-play if you are effective enough to find it!

No tigris I taught you guys better than that

Hahaha yeah choppers are useless vs a lot of AA to the point of being comical, I tend to find the only time CAS is effective/long lived is when players dont buy AA, or if you have an exceptional pilot like @FBI or one of the other skilled pilots on the server!, but no matter how good you are 2-3 similtaneous AA WILL kill a heli almost regardless of the flaring skill of the pilot. As for @YA_MUM's idea i think that is an ideal compromise, it punishes intel lacking teams and means human driven logistics (be it boots on the ground or drones) is needed for CAS and mortars to be effective without needing a direct nerf to their offensive capabilities in the hands of a skilled pilot, it also stops the stupid "chase the other team across the server and wipe them before they gear" that leads to rage quitting and one team being depopulated due to the other team chain killing them any time they go near a gunstore, overall IMO its a badically ideal change in terms of improving server health while not punishing teams simply playing well, it also removes the strange notion of the game passively giving you enemy positions which i've never really liked

@BulletL shoulda just cntrl-T'd the chopper so the crosshair locked to it

I mean with proper counterplay a mortar is incredibly fragile, even a HMG can destroy one in like 2 seconds flat or a single rocket of any type from any vehicle, the real problem is when people don't understand the two methods of counterplay to a mortar, 1) Another mortar (a single shell will destroy a mortar) or 2) Air vehicles. Fortunately for mortar users trying to make a point about the balance implications of removing heavy air the one hard counter to a well AA defended mortar was removed, (ie blackfoots) blackfoots with long range fly by wire DAGR rockets were the hard counter to mortars, being able to outrange their AA defenses, fortunately for mortars blackfoots were removed resulting one of the only 2 effective counters to a competent mortar team no longer existing. Honestly mortars are really weak, what makes them strong is the enemy presence indicator around gun stores, without that they would be nigh unusable but with it they are incredibly strong. As for justice's point I think rearm trucks are integral to the game and balanced by the fact that they cost almost as much as a top tier attack heli, the real issue is that the bobcat needs to be like 60-70k because it is stronger than any other rearm (and costs $32.5k). Furthermore limiting attack vehicles punishes the team that is behind more than the team that is ahead by ensuring they cant use vehicles to push back/reclaim territory against a stronger opposing team who has initial air superiority, this would nly lead to larger stomps by the numerically advantaged team.

The first clip where you hit 6 or 7 of us in the hummingbird at Rogain was the hilarious in the moment since the only reason we were still on the ground is someone in the group bought SPMG mags for a Navid and had to go back to the store then you hit us right as he came back

The drone is balanced without the rearm Taru TBH (1 shot from a rifle can kill it since the engine has paper thin armor if you know where to shoot). I don't get why they removed both the rearm and the drone, only one of the two had to be removed to fix the OP strat but instead we have neither the fun of the drone nor the utility of the Rearm chopper Hopefully one of the two gets added back in! The most exciting thing coming in the jets DLC to me is the advanced damage models for jets like helis have already, should help balance them too since it will mean individual systems can be damaged by AA and make them harder to fly when hit once instead of what we have now where getting hit once basically changes nothing except you can only afford to get hit once more.

Could make it a soft altitude cap to prevent it being too painful like having it destroy the vehicle might be, maybe make it above 1.5-2km (or some other number, i was just throwing around ideas) your engine is forceably turned off and cant be turned back on until you are below the cap, thereby not totally destroying the vehicle and making short burst of exceeding that altitude possible but not allowing sustained flight/hovering above the cap height like people have been abusing
