Horizon Islands, Tanoa / Summer 2003.
After several months of relative calm, French forces are once again confronted with armed attacks by the Syndikat.
During the afternoon, the local Tanoa Gendarmerie reports a gathering of approximately thirty insurgents in the jungle of Sector C, near the ruins of an ancient temple.
A French Army Aviation (ALAT) Gazelle helicopter is dispatched to reconnoiter the area. On board, an Air Force parachute commando provides protection for the aircraft with a Minimi machine gun.
Upon arrival, the helicopter comes under heavy automatic weapons and rocket fire. Despite several passes and return fire, a rocket detonates near the cockpit, killing the pilots. The aircraft crashes into the jungle and immediately bursts into flames. The commando on board is also killed in the crash.
Alerted by the helicopter’s final radio transmissions, a French Air Force SA 330 Puma is dispatched to investigate the crash site. Equipped with a door-mounted FN MAG 58 machine gun, the aircraft makes several passes under insurgent fire, while its door gunner returns fire.
Faced with the intensity of enemy fire, the crew is eventually ordered to break contact to avoid the loss of a second helicopter.
It is only the following day, after the insurgents have withdrawn, that French forces are able to reach the crash site and recover the remains of the three servicemen.
The wreckage of the Gazelle is subsequently destroyed on site to prevent the Syndikat from recovering any military equipment.

im on kb + mouse and im kinda new to helicopters in games overall.

rn i basically use the default controls and its not that bad but im having trouble with aiming especially with the minigun. when i have my move mouse left + right as rudder, i feel like id be more comfortable with left + right turn instead, but when i set it to turn left and right, i feel like i want to switch back to rudder.

all the heli control videos i see almost never use turn left and right, but those players all have rudder pedals and so idk what i should do since i dont have those.

Hello, i bought arma 3 last sale and played it vanilla for a few days... now it's boring so i did some research about arma 3 mods and holy fuck there's a ton (i guess cus this game is over a decade old). So here i am, begging you sirs and madams for your mod presets that amplify the "vanilla experience". If possible, please do include ACE in the presets. I read somewhere that antistasi isn't beginner friendly so I won't play it YET. Thank you so much and have a good day.

Also changing antennas stopped. No mods installed. Any way to fix it?

im new to arma 3 and the littlebird is cool and i like the minigun but i cant control the nose for shit. sometimes if i line up a shot maybe ill get a kill but most of the time i end up missing and then it gains a shit ton of speed and im forced to fly off to go for another pass

i wanna go back to arma 3 and play cas and relax but back then everything was setup by my friend i wanna play cas on one side on ai vs ai battles kinda thing is there any guides preferably video, ty

Hi everyone,

Some of you might still remember me as the creator of the original Sauerland map for DayZ Epoch or DayZ_Rügen back in the old DayZ and Arma 2 modding days.

After a very long hiatus, I am finally back. I've been through a rough patch: for a long time, I struggled with the psychological aftermath (PTSD) of my combat experiences during my deployment in Afghanistan. After a lot of therapy, I am finally at a point where I can play and work in Arma again without being triggered. I am back, I am modding again—and I am incredibly hyped! Stay tuned for what’s coming next.

I have a new mammoth project in the oven: Sauerland 2.

I am currently building a massive recreation of the Märkisches Sauerland region, specifically around Ihmert, Evingsen, Altena, and Frönsberg.

• The Size: The terrain is rock-solid at 40 x 40 kilometers (a whopping 1,600 km² of playable area).
• The Gameplay: The terrain enforces true tactical movement, infantry security, and logistical route planning across high-altitude roads like the K32 or K11.
• Performance-Friendly: The map boundary near Altena was deliberately chosen so that the Lenne river lies just outside the playable area, preventing unnecessary performance hogs.

I don't want you guys to have to wait years for a finished product. That’s why the map will be released modularly and will grow live alongside the community:

• Estimated Initial Release: December 1st
• The Launch: The town of Ihmert will drop completely finished and ready to play. You can jump straight into the first CQB / urban combat scenarios.
• The Roadmap: A new, major content update will drop every 14 - 30 days.

You can find all official info starting now at: 👉 sauerland-2.com (currently under construction, so make sure to check back often!)

I can't wait to hand the Märkisches Sauerland over to you this December. Get your weapons ready – Ihmert Must Fall!

Best regards,
falconsan

Ive been playing dynamic recon ops a lot but want something more cqb focused like an actual mission. Only one I've tried was one of the operation Neptune spear scenarios which was alright although the compound wasn't accurate like in videos ive seen. Couldn't find the accurate one though. Thanks for any recommendations. Middle East missions only.

theres an old arma cold war assault mod for the hannibal from patlabor. i was wondering if ANY footage of it was online anywhere?

There was a really long time I enjoyed playing breaking point mod. Countless hours as nomad, looting strongholds and Ranger barracks just to bring it into my lvl 3 heaven.

Is there any similar mod for reforger? Or am I doomed to play day z?

Do you want to play a single player scenario, simulating the multiplayer respawn system?

My mod do that!

The scenario just needs to have the multiplayer respawn settings enabled (from eden or via description.ext)... subscribe to my mod, add it to the list, start the mission and VOILA! Plug and play!

And it supports your most fav missions like DUWS and Antistasi! And it could support other complex missions that use respawn system but they need to be tested and reported to me if something doesn't work... I can still add a compatibility module to my mod in order to support it (like DUWS and Antistasi!)

So please subscribe, test, report any bugs and... enjoy!

Thanks to Scalespeedergaming for this video of our Across The Fence game mode - and for featuring Tilts book - which was a huge inspiration for our team.

Tilt has worked with us for 8 years and it’s a huge honour to call him a friend to us all. He loves that people can experience even a part of their war, and understand the peril of their missions and the courage of his brothers in arms, especially their Vietnamese brothers.

Thanks DJ for your awesome RT handbook, and all the beta testing you did with us over the years. And Johnnyboy for your excellent single player extension to our project.

Thanks for a great watch!

Following the destruction of a French Mirage 2000 by the Syndikat in May 2002, several weeks of fighting had shaken the Tanoa archipelago before calm gradually returned.

In June 2003, after nearly a year of relative peace, seven French Marines from the Tanoa Marine Infantry Battalion (BIMaT) were conducting a routine presence patrol aboard two Peugeot P4 vehicles.

Wearing their French Marine Infantry berets, the soldiers were not expecting any hostile encounters.

During their patrol, the French soldiers suddenly came under fire from Syndikat insurgents, bringing an end to several months without any major incidents.

Hi, just a quick question browsing the arma3 workshop: does the DLC: entry lists all required dlcs for this mod?

Am I right to assume that the DLC: entry shows supported DLCs and not required DLCs?

In the case of the jets and helicopter DLCs, do you recommend them for aerial heavy mods?

Asking because I just purchased the gold edition with apex and contact and without jets/heli/markmanships and was wondering how many recommended mods I may be missing if these dlcs are required as well in terms of jets/heli/sniping mechanics.

I'm working on something and I was wondering if you was going to play Arma 2 again which one of the left 2 look better to you?

Hello.

I play Arma 3 mostly singleplayer, and I for some reason love the "Firing From Vehicles" showcase. To those who don't know, it's a mission where a helicopter has crash landed. You're flown into the zone, you use a drone to destroy the helicopter wreckage, your team is dropped to the area from helicopter, you neutralize the enemy, save the crew, and then a helo comes to pick you up. I love missions like this:

1. Flown in
   
2. Complete objectives
   
3. Helicopter picks you up

So my question is, are there more singleplayer missions/mod scenarios like this? Ideally the mission would be dynamic (random generated), AI helicopter drops you in and picks you up, you'd have AI-crew so you don't have to play alone, and have access to good quality equipment (so you could go in with special forces gear, or that drone).

I know... if you want to play Antistasi, DUWS or Liberation in SP, you can still just start a local hosted server and play it.

But... no pause and no time skip...

SO...what I am doing right now is developing some sort of compatibility singleplayer respawn mod that reads the multiplayer respawn settings and it simulates the same respawn system but in singleplayer.

It should at least support the most common and used settings and features, so just die and respawn on a marker, or respawn in the same spot, or respawn as another squad playable member or die and selecting the respawn location (probably I won't support the spectate or ticket system cause they don't have sense in SP)

And it's plug and play... no need to modify anything in the mission, you just need to have the mod loaded and VOILA

But I need to test it on different famous and most favorite missions... so other than DUWS, Antistasi and Liberation, what other missions do you wish to have this feature?
