As always your welcome @Humaine . Tanoa will become Tanoa T-Days for Tuesday and Thursday. I and A was originally developed for Tanoa and many of us who played together on the original iteration miss it quite a bit. As for the trees , personally (and yes I cop flak for it) if I'm having a really intense battle in heavy jungle area's I have thermals. Unfortunately it's also a great way to get 1 tapped by a friendly who doesn't ID targets. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jereleet 25 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 Yeah I jumped on last night, was hella fun. I'll give it another go tonight I reckon. Those street block battles for intel in the capital were epic. Why was I the only guy not using an LIM though... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=S.N.A.F.U.= 92 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) The secret to the tree problem is communication. Work as a team, move as a team, Shoot as a team. Then if anything moves that is NOT in your team, Rain hell on it! Encourage those around you to form together, have a medic & make him your best friend, talk to each other, scream if you are down. Natural leaders will emerge from the group & you will find over time people will flock to you. You have both in-game group chat & also a bunch of Teamspeak infantry channels. Furthermore, I know as someone who is often a pilot, if we know an area is being secured we will try to get you back into the fight near your buddies too, so ask us Of course, there will be random Rambo's. You can't stop that, but you can minimise it & have more fun in the process. This not only goes for the senior gang but the new guys as well. Try it! You will find it will only add to the experience. Oh! One more thing.. It should be obvious but sniper rifles are useless in most of Tanoa! Edited November 29, 2018 by =S.N.A.F.U.= 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jereleet 25 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 Oh I don't think there were any issues with communication, the group worked fairly efficiently. Thanks for the advice on Sniper Rifles in Tanoa, I now realise what you mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh! One more thing.. It should be obvious but sniper rifles are useless in most of Tanoa! Understood. I try to encourage more coms use, (You could say I talk too much lol ), but its difficult when some don't have mikes or others don't want to. Also players need to know that there's sometimes a glitch with ingame coms. If you join the server and it puts you automatically in a team, sometimes the coms aren't working and you can't hear anything from the group. ( I spent some of last night talking to myself about... you know... stuff... troops here, tanks there... angry triangles... hehehe ) To solve this you have to leave the group and join it again. But then another glitch is caused, as sometimes it won't let you leave the group. You have two options here; Join another open group and jump back into your primary group or head back to the lobby and rejoin. I also have a question, are players mostly using ingame coms or teamspeak? I dislike TS... (I like using the "Radio Management" Channels (Alpha, Ironside, etc...) on the "Home" button, great addon.) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webbie 186 Report post Posted November 29, 2018 Alot of players will use TeamSpeak, alot of groups will use group chat but be using either TeamSpeak or discord. My preference is in game group channel unfortunately use of a main group is under utilised often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

=S.N.A.F.U.= 92 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 26 minutes ago, pkisbest said: Or the main group is full of.....utter nonsense to put it lightly. That's very true. But Tanoa does offer us the chance to minimise this by instilling a different attitude to the game. Plus it's easy to make a new group & invite people in. imagine a veteran or someone else who steps up as a squad lead communicating to his squad in game chat & then to the main group in ts! (Ahh the utopian dream). The reason the chats are shyte is because for years we have let it be so. It has become the servers norm. When you play on european & US servers it's a very different case. There is a lot of banter but they also know to communicate well & at least to a moderate degree, coordinate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webbie 186 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) You know theirs no reason we can't all do this and many people like being co-ordinated through a lead I see it alot where a squad will have a defined leader and they totally roll an ao no matter what I throw at them. This applies to both altis and Tanoa. Although I will point out their are many big egos and so getting people to put their egos aside to enjoy a game of Arma is also apart of that very challenge It's really up to each individual player how they want to play, it's a public server and hence people can play how they choose. And I think we all know we will always get the morons who are just their to troll and unfortunately this will always be the case. As long as they don't breach the rules then they are just as welcome as anyone else. Edited November 30, 2018 by webbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pkisbest 198 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 Honestly I wanted to start doing a squad related thing a few months ago. But I’ve found it hard to have time. Althiugh now that Uni is finished I should have no problem running them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jereleet 25 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 So... uh... I got a LIM last night, got 28 points in like 12 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pkisbest 198 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 That’s pretty standard. It’s a small high infantry ratio map. Using something like the Lim is gunna bring a lot of Kills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
