ARMA 3

JH, the next DLC will be about so called 'rescuing' aka trafficking numbers of NPC 'refugees' in large orange rubber boats ::)

I've thought about the clan thing, but my hours are weird, and I tend to play late at night which makes using a mic tough as I like where I live and want to stay here  :))
Most of the ARMA multiplayer I did was with my brother and a few friends we made along the way, though we did play a lot of KoTH and Wasteland.
I was awed by the Shack Tac videos back when I ran across em. Reminded me of the old days in Air Warrior or Ultima Online when I was in large, organized clans.

Played Invade and Annex during the weekend.  Still a good experience.  Wonder why I stopped playing?

I have Jets DLC (actually bought the DLC pack) but when I encounter assets form that game in MP, it asks me to buy Jets. I actually don't have Apex (waiting for a sale), and I was looking at a 4WD.  It probably meant I should buy Apex and not Jets.

By the way, I tried the Jets showcase and wasn't impressed.  The HUD indicators are not in Feet / Knots (meters / KMh instead). They say it's an engine limitation since switching the measures will also affect tanks and helicopters.

Tanks have HUD indicators?  ???

I'd just assumed they were alway at Altitude '1'. Unless, you know, they drove off a cliff.

It is not without its faults, but I never really understand some of the intense criticism ARMA receives. I mean, there is no other game on the planet that does what it does. None that even come close.

  So true.  I mostly play in the editor with various mods.  I tried out all the different Mosin-nagants for example and flew a Gladiator around the new Malden.
Often the kids have me set up something for them.  We found a mysterious temple in the jungles of Tanoa on Saturday.

It's really cool. In my game last night, we were assaulting a town with CAS aircraft strafing enemy positions.  Love the sound of those "warthog" guns. Brrrrr. A true combined arms experience.

Ok. Almost 200 hours of ARMA3 and I have just now attempted to really fly the aircraft. I've just configured my HOTAS for Helicoper and Plane operation.  I have spotted some dynamic missions for the flyables.  Opens a whole new way of playing ARMA. Let's see how it goes.

Jets DLC adds flaps, ILS, modular damage, active radar & passive recievers. Actually those are universal engine upgrades. Because I see the older planes now have these features too. Not DCS level, but it's almost like Strike Fighters.
I also turned on realistic helicopter flight. A bit challenging but I want to learn to do things right.

I doubt that ' realistic helicopter flight'  is actually realistic. I can't get to grips with it, while I have no problem flying helo's in DCS.  :DD

True.

Coincidentally, Apex is now on sale. I'm now up to date with the DLCs.  I only skipped the carts DLC.

I am running the Arma stock campaign. The AI keeps driving me nuts at times, but the experience overall is quite ok. But this 'Get the fuel truck' mission is so darn hard... restarted it a zillion times now.
Damn Striders wipe my squad each time.

Be sure to map your TGP to a button that can be easily accessed. The addition of the targeting pods for aircraft in ArmA has been one of my single-most enjoyed features.

Today I played drone operator in MP for a change.  Too bad the map has no aerial drones.  Just ground drones and the backpack drone. 
Tanoa is not drone friendly due to thick jungles.

Were you playing Combat patrol?
What server US?  EU? etc?
What's your in-game name?
BTW...the drone operator in combat patrol is less than ideal, mostly because that mission type does include enemy spawns.  Having said that, I've play some games where a good UAV operator will leave the main assault group, head towards the exfil location, find a nice quite spot (like a building) to hunker down, and then use voice comms to direct the entire unit.  What done right, it's highly effective and very useful.

I usually play Invade and Annex.  In-game name Jayson.
I think CAS and Drones are more suitable for large combined arms ops.

The Tanks DLC is due for release in Quarter 1 2018 and the first parts of it have already been added to the development branch. Presently, there are interiors available for three APCs. Very exciting and long overdue additions...
