With vehicle's, if trying to be covert, send a squad or 2 (1-2 teams 4-8 people) in, and have a tank or even a few gunned transports outside the base by about 500 meters. If something goes wrong, the vehicle's rush in to save and protect the infantry.
i beg you Bohemia T_T start working on interiors for the tanks and apc's. now playing as a tank crewman isnt even fun. if you play for 2 hours in one game you get so bored it makes you want to break your arma disc in two. why is there interior for everything, but we cant use it as driver/gunner/commander in a tank/apc
If i correctly remember, APC interior came for Arma 2 when OA was released. Since they scale the Expansion as size of OA, we should expect some APC/Tank interiors. New buildings like the hospital which looks amazing would be nice. I just love to use buildings for custom missions. Sad the AI still can't use them properly.
atheosxgaming I don't think they should remove 3rd person, but I think it's a damn shame that so many servers allow 3rd person to be used. Especially when you're playing PvP gamemodes, it is truly game-breaking.
How is it that we can so easily have mods like DayZ and Life crafted for the masses but still none of the modding savants out there can craft a simple and addictive "war" mod that actually captures the essence of Arma and puts it readily at our fingertips. So much wasted potential because casuals would rather wander around an empty map hunting each other like animals than put any actual effort into cooperatively dueling with another large (semi) organized force.
I still find it a bit funny how Bohemia decided to add in the L-39 Albatross for the Independent faction, a plane that first flew in 1968 and is mostly used as a trainer.
The AAF is a far less advanced faction compared to NATO and CSAT; obviously Altis isn't a superpower like the two other factions, and so they are stuck with older, lower tech equipment.
Malacovics That is a terrible comparison... Lot's of people are just getting into this style of game, they don't have a clan, many people join the game without knowing what they will do with it. Infact that is how the majority of Clans gain members is by new people who just purchased a game. It's not a shame, it's reality.
Dslyecxi, your advice is great.....right up until you start on about the communication; I've heard you give commands before and NOT refer to everyone by their role.
In real time combat the Driver would be controlled by the gunner, the Tank commander would be to busy on the radios calling up ammo counts and BDA’s and scanning for additional targets.
Might be the relative familiarity mission makers have with infantry tactics and expectations... also having an AI gunner/driver can make missions too easy/robotic.
Troublechutor In single player missions people usually do missions like if this is COD. In multiplayer there are missions more realistics but with more errors, and follow being infantry missions.
I believe what you're looking at is the Mora - that doesn't come without a turret, no. The strider though is pretty damn close to what you're thinking of.
Millions of copies sold, Arma3 is constantly in Top10-20 Steam games and at least 90% of people who bought it play zombies and policemen or not play at all as victims of the huge hype and the few players who try the actual game cheat all time with 3rd person view, not uncommonly calling themselves hardcore pros.
So true on that one. But i guess very young players that occupy Arma 3 are not interested in slower paced combat but instead RPG missions where you can troll as much as you wan't to.
Last I checked RP wasn't as efficient as playing the game to your full potential but playing a three man tank crew correctly is way more efficient than three people where one is generally a spectator and the gunner keeps yelling at the driver to hold it still while he shoots or it's a lot better than one guy who keeps the tank for himself and switches from driver to gunner because he doesn't want to share and be efficient... I mean "RP".
They should put vote to chose a commander... not let the slot one automaticly for command... in CTI mod... I still play this year arma 2 for the CTI mod that's more fluid and efficient with rebel that's look like civils (REBELS).
Gunnery in vehicles is arguably too easy as it is... besides, it seems to be a clear interface copy/paste from infantry weapons as opposed to a conscious decision to make things wonky on purpose.
its not about easy or hard, its about at least making an actual attempt at a simulator. For example ARMA2 ace's tanks are good fun because of it, even though the FCS is still very shallow, and you can actually employ some modern vehicle tactics because of it, unlike arma3. There was no conscious decision, they were just too lazy/had no time/ had no money, to make an actual FCS.
CAN I RUN IT ON MEDIUM SETTINGS?????? AMD A10 5800k 3.8Ghz HIS R7 250 1GB GDDR 5 GIGABYTE F2A58M-DS2 8GB RAM CAN I RUN IT ON MEDIUM SETTINGS?????? pls reply
Too bad bis still stick to the horrible hitpoint system that removes any sort of advatage from armor since enough rockets will kill anything despite the ammount of armor on any spot. Good thing there are mods to adress this. Also no interiors is just sad.
Dont cry, just find a nice 1st p only community, its your own fault if you play with 3rd person ^^ 3rd P is useful for players with major handicaps though like down syndrome or visual defects
Quit your crying this isn't cod or battlefield 1st person view doesn't due the justice of a persons perception on the battlefield that is why the option is there. As far as the commander view go's the optics available to him far out way the view of 3rd person. Figure it out put your big boy pants on, quit your crying an complaining an play the game right.
Arma wouldn't work well on consoles, even the new gen, because they simply aren't powerful enough and controllers wouldn't really work well for all the buttons your would need
Ram Berto It would also need something like the steam workshop as though, as it mostly is based on user made content, and MAJOR downgrades in render distances, as in, barely able to see out of a city if you are in the center.
Please fix AI driving and tactics, otherwise they're driving in walls and proning in plain field when being shot at. Atleast make them search for cover.
What's the point anymore? Arma is ruined, we have 12 year old kiddies bashing Altis life, and if not then people camping 3rd person in every other game mode. what about tactical game modes that require people to think and earn skill? THAT is completely gone in arma. This has become an Role playing shit
Your friend is wise! I don´t enjoy vehicle servers either. I don´t enjoy playing as infantry and constantly getting killed by Thermal sights tank from 6Km away, all the fucking time! You do have cars/armored cars in InfantryOnly servers too. Also choppers with no guns.
You're PC obviously just isn't up to scratch because I never have problems and none of my friends do. If yo don't have far above the recommended specs then don't run it on high settings.
it also depends on servers and your CPU. If you have a AMD cpu or a AMD gpu you are SOL. I have a Xeon e3 1230 V3 and a GTX 780 and this game runs like butter. Some servers get 25FPS avg others get 45-60
JuiceBoxBlobb No there is a lot of optimisation missing, you need a ridiculously powerful PC, mine is already fairly strong. In Singleplayer I can play on max view distance on maximum graphics and a fairly high amount of AI and get around 60 but in MP with just players I get 20 fps on medium graphics.
I have a server (Filter "ATCAG") that doesn't plague players with that annoying shitty FPS or stuttering issue. My frames range from 30 to 100+, depending on what's going on. If you have a good processor, solid state drives, and a good enough video card, there shouldn't be issues. Also, making video setting compromises without losing quality is advised, to be safe.
Big kudos to dslyecxi for continually producing those awesome guides!

Love to see a Guide on proper radio communication and etiquette for us new to arma folks. Thanks for the guides so far :)
I love the fact that Bohemia hires Dyslexi to narrate this
i beg you Bohemia T_T start working on interiors for the tanks and apc's. now playing as a tank crewman isnt even fun. if you play for 2 hours in one game you get so bored it makes you want to break your arma disc in two. why is there interior for everything, but we cant use it as driver/gunner/commander in a tank/apc
now imagine having to look at THIS BORING SCREEN 3:38 for two hours long... thank you Bohemia for ever stopping with tank/apc interior.
It's weird because the Gorgon looks to have a driver console rendered for a split second when turning out, but not possible to look at while playing.
Its not bad, but i see your point. Maybe something like battlefield's tank interior would be kinda cool.
If i correctly remember, APC interior came for Arma 2 when OA was released.
Since they scale the Expansion as size of OA, we should expect some APC/Tank interiors.
New buildings like the hospital which looks amazing would be nice. I just love to use buildings for custom missions. Sad the AI still can't use them properly.
who uses disks anymore lol
Can we just get 3D interiors already?
Malacovics u got it
They have added it you asshat.
Debet Rolence That comment is five years old, check before you say something.
@@debetrolence1991 how old are you?
Très bonne vidéo qui arrive sur le tard. Thanks Dslyecxi
who needs a commander when u have third person... still, we still have third person, boheeeeemia, STAHP
play on a server that has third person disabled.
please read what doop00 say.. PLEASE!!!
ever heard of elite difficulty? Which has 3d person view off.
i play in first person, hence the comment.
atheosxgaming I don't think they should remove 3rd person, but I think it's a damn shame that so many servers allow 3rd person to be used. Especially when you're playing PvP gamemodes, it is truly game-breaking.

I suppose the time this dude made the commentary, alot of PVP and PVE modes didnt exist like wasteland, KOTH etc...
Absolutely cool !
Very well explained !
Thanks for your work. The video I needed.
Lovely job as usual Andrew!
Are we going to get new guns? I mean like an update or something that is not a mod...
There's the upcoming Helicopter DLC, the Marksmen DLC (which is your new weapons), and a planned expansion all to come.
I still find it a bit funny how Bohemia decided to add in the L-39 Albatross for the Independent faction, a plane that first flew in 1968 and is mostly used as a trainer.
so much for that futuristic setting eh
Sorry is the albatross the.. buzzard? - i thought it was a crappy kind of MIG to be honest
buzzard yes
The AAF is a far less advanced faction compared to NATO and CSAT; obviously Altis isn't a superpower like the two other factions, and so they are stuck with older, lower tech equipment.
Actually, it's the L-159 Alca, produced in 1997. Not as far back as you claimed and pretty close to 2035, in fighter aircraft time.
have they fixed the bs where your tires pop if u hit a 2 foot wall
@ 25+mph??that was a big reason for me to stay away from 3 :(
Can you add Egypt in the game?
If you could even find server without trolls it would be nice
find the server with active admins, and ask to kick trolls, simple.
Who the hell buys ArmA to play on random server?
Malacovics
Probably the majority of people who bought it....
MyGdoggy What a shame. It's like buying Battlefield for singleplayer.
Malacovics That is a terrible comparison... Lot's of people are just getting into this style of game, they don't have a clan, many people join the game without knowing what they will do with it. Infact that is how the majority of Clans gain members is by new people who just purchased a game. It's not a shame, it's reality.
Nice camera angles or cinematography. It's like an awesome cutscene. : D
Dslyecxi, your advice is great.....right up until you start on about the communication; I've heard you give commands before and NOT refer to everyone by their role.
Just started reading Clausewitz' 'Vom Kreig' :3
Thank You For Uploading This!
Great vid, thanks!
Combined with Zeus, Arma3 is awesome.
dslycxi, would you upload to armord tank opreations?
What if i dont want to share my vehicle with others? Have some alone time in a tank?
In real time combat the Driver would be controlled by the gunner, the Tank commander would be to busy on the radios calling up ammo counts and BDA’s and scanning for additional targets.
it's a shame that everybody base the missions only in infantry and we don´t see vehicles as much how they should in a battle.
Might be the relative familiarity mission makers have with infantry tactics and expectations... also having an AI gunner/driver can make missions too easy/robotic.
Troublechutor In single player missions people usually do missions like if this is COD. In multiplayer there are missions more realistics but with more errors, and follow being infantry missions.

The second vehicle from the left: is it available without a gun?
I believe what you're looking at is the Mora - that doesn't come without a turret, no. The strider though is pretty damn close to what you're thinking of.
Yeah I know but I don't like this vehicle^^
Would be nice if Bohemia would release more of those vehicles without the guns...
Oath, mate. BIS is probably sick of its loyal players being after content, content, content which it should have done before release..
On which kind of servers do you actually find this kind of gameplay? Could anyone give me any examples? Thanks.
Where is the tank radar for commander in a tanks in A3 like it was in Operation Flashpoint?
great capability presentation. I am a fan...
Bohemia; I beg of you to add the ability to shoot off the sides of Littlebirds and other helicopters. That'd be great. Thanks.
Fire-from-vehicles is a feature of the upcoming helicopter DLC.
Geo Biery Check out thier facebook page, in particular try to get a hold of thier 'roadmap'.
google "arma 3 roadmap." the dev blog explains some confirmed features for the upcoming DLCs.
LOL! People here commenting like they know how to play arma 3 like it's meant to be played. Go back to your bf4 you trolls
excellent guide
Vehicles exploding seriously need a new sound, it sounds so high pitched
Whats Atlis Life??
Lovely.
anyone know the soundtrack?
Most of this is pretty self explanatory. I would have wanted to see more how to communicate in the vehicle

So true on that one.
But i guess very young players that occupy Arma 3 are not interested in slower paced combat but instead RPG missions where you can troll as much as you wan't to.
This is for players playing RP !
Last I checked RP wasn't as efficient as playing the game to your full potential but playing a three man tank crew correctly is way more efficient than three people where one is generally a spectator and the gunner keeps yelling at the driver to hold it still while he shoots or it's a lot better than one guy who keeps the tank for himself and switches from driver to gunner because he doesn't want to share and be efficient... I mean "RP".
Who needs this, if in first person mode you can see only cheap sprite with looking window, like you're driving a mailbox not a tank.
if this game didn't lag on multiplayer when having a lot of people on one server it would be fun. im not talking about fps lag.
They should put vote to chose a commander... not let the slot one automaticly for command... in CTI mod...
I still play this year arma 2 for the CTI mod that's more fluid and efficient with rebel that's look like civils (REBELS).
Taking notes as APC crew is a big weak point for me
dialing in the range manually, is so stupid, when will BI get around to implementing a half decent FCS.
Gunnery in vehicles is arguably too easy as it is... besides, it seems to be a clear interface copy/paste from infantry weapons as opposed to a conscious decision to make things wonky on purpose.
its not about easy or hard, its about at least making an actual attempt at a simulator.
For example ARMA2 ace's tanks are good fun because of it, even though the FCS is still very shallow, and you can actually employ some modern vehicle tactics because of it, unlike arma3.
There was no conscious decision, they were just too lazy/had no time/ had no money, to make an actual FCS.

Too bad bis still stick to the horrible hitpoint system that removes any sort of advatage from armor since enough rockets will kill anything despite the ammount of armor on any spot. Good thing there are mods to adress this. Also no interiors is just sad.
please fix a AI planes flying at low altitude
Wow~
Dont cry, just find a nice 1st p only community, its your own fault if you play with 3rd person ^^
3rd P is useful for players with major handicaps though like down syndrome or visual defects
Salut je ne maîtrise pas l'Anglais!. Dommage!. Azdik
That lisp though...
+Raine Walker (RaineAKALotto) Jesus christ, calm down. I was just noting it, no need to be butthurt.

They need to bring Arma to PS4!
Arma wouldn't work well on consoles, even the new gen, because they simply aren't powerful enough and controllers wouldn't really work well for all the buttons your would need
GodlyBaconGaming The PS4 has keyboard and mouse support and its more than enough to run a console version of arma!
Ram Berto It would also need something like the steam workshop as though, as it mostly is based on user made content, and MAJOR downgrades in render distances, as in, barely able to see out of a city if you are in the center.
and its slow

try bCombat mod
а по русски можно
This is why World War 2 games are so much more fun... NO DUMBASS THERMAL VISION. MAKE A BETTER WORLD WAR 2 GAME B.I. IRON FRONT 3 WOULD BE NICE!
What's the point anymore?

Koth hc is a thing you know
KOTH HC is a thing i´ve been enjoying for a while now. Name Partisaani in the game :).
Juissimies84 its such a shame that the guy i play with refuses to play on Koth HC servers with vhics ;-;
The magic Of Modded Milsim groups means you don't have to deal with these problems.
Your friend is wise! I don´t enjoy vehicle servers either. I don´t enjoy playing as infantry and constantly getting killed by Thermal sights tank from 6Km away, all the fucking time!
You do have cars/armored cars in InfantryOnly servers too. Also choppers with no guns.
Tank AI is horrible in this game.
Still not optimized and probably never will be, don't waste your money if you haven't already. It runs at 30fps max in multiplayer
You're PC obviously just isn't up to scratch because I never have problems and none of my friends do. If yo don't have far above the recommended specs then don't run it on high settings.

I don't trust that guy.
this is no more simulation. This is crap.
Back to Arma 2.
