Welcome to Iwo Jima.. or welcome to Hell, it's the same thing really! A while back I was a guest, courtesy of the 3/5 Marines who did an awesome Iwo Jima event. Portraying US Marines landing on the island and fighting DOGGED Japanese resistance was brutal, but rewarding.. I can't wait till we can experience stuff like this with more FPS.. (Arma 4 anyone?) But for now, sit back, enjoy the ride (not the sinking LVT ride) and I hope to catch you in the next one! P.S. if you could remake ANY event from history in Arma, what would you want to remake? 👀
Probably korean war since i havent seen much recreation of it in games plus there are also relatively very few movies abt it where the US or like US characters are the protagonists
To add some context here I’m with 3/5 and I was the lead researcher for this campaign. We chose to portray Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 27th Marines and their landing on Red Beach One. You’ll notice a mix of Marines wearing jump boots and that’s representing former Paramarines who were folded into the regiments of the 5th Marine Division. We had five other missions that followed this one that followed E/2/27 and their push North across the island. We had one that showed E/2/27’s view of the flag raising on Suribachi, the fighting around Nishi Ridge and Hill 362A, the rocket terrain fighting and drive north to Kitano Point, and the hard final fighting around Cushman’s Pocket and what was left of Easy Company. Thanks to Sherman for attending and putting this together it looks awesome man!
Was a great event, sorry it wasn't very possible to portray all the detailed info that went into the event but hope it came out good enough for y'all 🙏
@@zachwood1218 Are you guys still really active? I've been thinking of getting back into Arma and would love to participate in a big event like this one
@@RafaelSilva-wx1rc Yeah man we're still active, we're currently in the middle of a campaign portraying C. Company, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines during Operation Purple Martin in 1969. The invite link to our Discord in the description is still valid as far as I'm aware.
Hey Sherman. Thanks for you doing this vid. I ended up joining the unit and have really enjoyed these fellas. I'm in first squad too; Allen is still yelling. Just an update, we just got done with Deckhouse V and Khe Sahn is on the way.
@@rynozerous2755 would be cool because thats exactly like Battlefield 4 where the cold war got hot. And since BF4 was a huge success a Cold war Bf would be cool aswell. They just have to stick to their base mechanic not implement heroes or something like they did in 2042.
That was awesome! Would love to see some Korea Arma down the line. The Max Hastings book on the Korea war is a really good read btw if anyone likes history books etc. Thanks for the top video as per!
We’ve got some Korean War stuff planned. Also Hastings is a good author, I have a few of this books. We’re working on some assets (most of which are already done). It’ll be based heavily off of the 3/5 Battalion Commander’s memoir (he was with them during their first year in Korea) which I’m lucky to have grabbed at the low price of 90 dollars (he signed it too!) We’ll do the first year of their involvement and end at the end of Chosin. The Parkas and pile caps are already made. Just looking into a Pershing to round us off.
I love ARMA!! The range of battles and the realistic looking almost war footage at times ( note the number of times its been used by media as avtaly combat footage even in the Ukraine) makes even watching Arma games gripping, exciting and entertaining! As good as some war movies you see created by TV studios in many ways. I often watch Arma 3 or Squad videos from creators like Sherman, Dslyecxi, Operator Drewski or Karmakut in place of watching TV it's almost as fun to watch a good team as it is to play in oe,. It's simply more entertaining for me. I would LOVE Arma 4 to hold to the realism of the premier Milsim but increase their grapgics and sound overall to Squad level at least compare an Arma 3 arty barrage to a squad ie hell let loose one with surround sound and noiae canceling and that's what I mean by sound. The new engine looks amazingly promising I am super excited, Thanks so much for still doind Arma content this many years in Sherman! Between Arma 3 and your gates of hell videos it's always a pleasure Sherman!! Great video sir!! O7 !!
You generally have to play with a group, but head over to the Arma discord and keep an eye out on the multiplayer events channel for public events and such.
...and thank you! Sherman for real, from a UA-camr that mains PS I want to say THANK YOU for covering the game, you are literally the ONLY big youtuber that still does for whatever reason and I personally greatly appreciate it! it's literally the game I've waited 37 years of life for and it boggles my mind that it isn't much bigger than it is!
@@m4n1y64 i think its a mix of tons of things Ace, faces of war, iron front, US gear mod, CUP (for the ship, its been heavily edited tho) and a bunch more
We already have good sound mods. JSRS and Enhanced Soundscape 2 are two big ones. Its just that mods like IFA3 have their own sounds and stuff. Though I do wonder if anyone's been able to scrape sound files from Squad. They might be using a special audio system of their own or something
This is Call Of Duty 2 graphics lol these graphics are freaking terrible lol if this had Battlefield 5 graphics, then it would be awesome to play. It looks to buggy for me. It was still fun to watch it though!
I have a Discord yes but this was an event I was invited to specifically, I play Arma with a specific group most of the time too so that's where I'll be 🙏

What mods were used?
Just joined the unit. Bunch of great guys. I'm basically the "radio dude" in the unit now. Love it to bits. Appreciate you for introducing me Sherm
based
No one loves you lofaso even if i bought you wolfpack
Love you, Lofaso. Smooches.
8:13 I just love how cinematic that was. The way the Japanese soldier died completed it. Straight out of a video game cutscene.
haha yeah that was nuts lmao
@@theShermanator what mod added the death animations?
@@Yeahmanyup idk if you found out yet but I think it's the Improved melee mod.
@@NordicJarl27 Yeah that’s what the bayonet animation was from but when they short the enemy he actually had like a full on death animation.

the battlefield music gave me instant PTSD, hope bf becomes better after 2042
Totally agree
they should just make a Battlefield 1944 or something or maybe Vietnam again not that future stuff.
@@sickmit3481 Honestly I would love a Cold War battlefield

I have done a very limited amount of Korean War Arma, its definitely interesting!
indeed I Would love to see more games/mods on the Korea war and Korean DMZ Conflict of the 1960s

Always happy to see your video's!
Cheers man, appreciate that eh!
Nice to see some modders still remember Korean War. And I'm not even a Korean. It's just the Korean War seem to be forgotten in gaming developers.
Love ya shermister mistersherm
🤟
I just wish the performance was better, even with the best PC the game chugs along at a lovely cinematic 30-40 frames
I wish I could get it to chug along at 40
Holy shit bro. Awesome op. :)

Arma is amazing
oh yeah
Looking epic already
Cheers!
Arma 4 wishlist... no lag, stutter, frame drops. Better effects and sounds, at launch before mods.
Yes
Are there actual full servers for this stuff or so you have to play with a group?
You generally have to play with a group, but head over to the Arma discord and keep an eye out on the multiplayer events channel for public events and such.
now is arma actually this laggy pr does it have to do perhaps with whos hardware was hosting/ where it was hosted
combination of a lot of things, Arma 3 is from 2013 (same week as GTA 5 release for PS3/XBOX360 lol) and its known to run poop
the choppiness just kills the fun for me... I CANNOT WAIT!!! for the new Post-scriptum update though, going to UE 4.27 AND DLSS!!!!

I do think going to 100 players will make a HUGE difference.. its already gloriously chaotic, 50v50 will make it REALLY special!
@@boogie5 why are u talking to urself
@@turtle6648 come again?
Hi, do you have any list of mods used in this video, it looks great
I found the map, but for the infantry i guess maybe Faces of War
@@m4n1y64 i think its a mix of tons of things
Ace, faces of war, iron front, US gear mod, CUP (for the ship, its been heavily edited tho) and a bunch more
The only thing I'd like to see in Arma 4 is better hardware utilization and more capabilities in modules without use of excessive scripting.
YES!
buddy! ask your fellow modders to make a mod in Arma 3 sounds from the game "squad". there are just divine sounds of gunfire)
Oh I am so surprised nobody has taken the sounds from Squad yet tbh :D
@@theShermanatorso you ask anyone to do it?) I'm sure you're an influential person!
@@nikpod27 jesus any reason you cant do it?
@@afriendlycadian9857 I'm just a high school kid) I don't know any programming languages yet
We already have good sound mods. JSRS and Enhanced Soundscape 2 are two big ones. Its just that mods like IFA3 have their own sounds and stuff.
Though I do wonder if anyone's been able to scrape sound files from Squad. They might be using a special audio system of their own or something
Hey what mod is that LVT ship you got off in beginning
Pretty sure its the CUP Chinese ship, thats been heavily modified to look more WW2-y
@@theShermanator thank you
20 thousand marines died in this battle...
Hey maybe somone know which mod is for ship on the beginning?
Its a CUP mod ship that's been heavily edited to look more WW2
@@theShermanator thanks Sherman 🫶
Waiting for smart ai in arma 4
what were the mods you were using for the japanese faction?
Im not sure, the organizers might know tho
Battlefield music, nice.
Haha sort of yeah!
"mix it up boys!" ......? Thats vague, mix what up?
lmao, not sure
Please play Easy Red 2
What it that mod ?
Map mod
It's Iwo Jima :D
What mods are you using
A LOT - I'd have to ask the event hosters
A lot of publicly available mods plus a few In house edits to get the historical accuracy of uniforms down to perfection.
Ah never mind...
so sad D:
All I'm saying is if it's a world war II type thing why are you using Pacific outfits
You are aware World War 2 happened in Europe, Africa, Asia (and) the Pacific right?
This is Call Of Duty 2 graphics lol these graphics are freaking terrible lol if this had Battlefield 5 graphics, then it would be awesome to play. It looks to buggy for me. It was still fun to watch it though!
Well yeah if it had BF5 graphics the maps wouldnt be 30x30 km would they tho
@@theShermanator well its less that and more its just an old game im just waiting for arma 4 so i can plant my eyeballs on some pretty explosions
First
o7
First o7
This game is kinda ugly lol
Yeah, its a little hit or miss sometimes
Hey sherm do you have a discord, where we could play arma with the boys?
I have a Discord yes but this was an event I was invited to specifically, I play Arma with a specific group most of the time too so that's where I'll be 🙏
