Lotza 522 Report post Posted May 21, 2016 So I've noticed that not many people do any form of paradrops. There are parachutes in the game and they are a great form of insertion. How many people actually do paradrops and do you agree with the idea that they are a great form of insertion and can be quite fun at times? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Padrinos 8 Report post Posted May 21, 2016 Trying to halo drop in is fun and brings a different type of immersion to the mil sim. Only bad part is you loose your backpack space, which can be mission critical for some classes that require lots of equipment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nova 1779 Report post Posted May 22, 2016 paradropping and driving are my 2 favorite things in arma 3. but as padrinos said. you lose your backpack which for medic, AT, Autorifleman, engineer, doesnt work well 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcus 38 Report post Posted May 23, 2016 Would it be possible to make the parachute go into a vest slot instead? then u keep the medbox, but u still lose space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombine45 177 Report post Posted May 23, 2016 In my experience, paradrops are only great in situations where you need guys in there fast. Since you lose your backpack, if you plan on spending any extended period of time in the AO, it's generally best to be dropped off or drive. Maybe a work around to this would be setting special properties for medkits and repair kits, so that they can be put into a vest at the expense of most if not all that vests carrying capability. This would leave you with only your clothing to work with for gear however, but paratroopers have never been the best supplied troops in any army! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kalthramis 58 Report post Posted May 29, 2016 @InfamousNova It shouldn't require ACE. Could be done pretty easily if you skipped out on the visuals; just a matter of storing the backpack and it's contents locally, then adding it to the player when they're at 0 elevations. @Qeus could we do this? I'm in the same boat of "Paradrops are cool, but without a backpack it nullifies them. Can't have a medic, engineer, demo expert, etc." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remo 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2016 I second the idea of the Backpack on Chest mod. It will be great for people who want to jump out early and get to their advantage point, instead of being dropped with everyone else and then back-tracking and possibly getting shot. But i think the main reason why everyone would enjoy this mod, is for the emergency bail out when your chopper is under fire and you're still alive after the first hit or before it. I've tried to get some links for some of the mods, but I only came across 2 so far; 1 that appears to be outdated and the other (which has been mentioned already) requires A.C.E 3 in order for it to make it to the game. With that being said: Why is A.C.E. 3 not implemented into the server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
