The reason Soviet couldn’t see the rocket launcher is because it was a client-side mod. Only the player that has the mod loaded will see it. However, the rockets trajectory and damage was rendered server-side, just not the models.

11:11 Fun fact, that's a real live person giving that short little briefing. For the longest time I thought it was a non-playable character voiced professionally. Quebec has a beautiful voice, man. 14:00 And then there's Holy N'evil. English is not Nevil's primary language, though to be fair this video is one of his earlier appearances and he's actually a lot easier to understand now. Radios in ARMA aren't exactly affected by weather and such, so comms are usually extremely clear unless you're REALLY far away.
if you have a mountain in between you and the other radio, youll get a crappy signal with lots of noise, not just for distance. that's how it is for tfar at least. never tried acre before
I like how he goes into a description about cover and concealment only to be introduced to wahat the doomsday round actually does. Which is delete houses from the environment.
The radio does makes it worse, but Nevil is just very hard to understand. While he is speaking English, it's through a very thick Vietnamese accent. It's an ongoing joke among ZF and there's a whole section in one of the PUBG bullshitteries of just Cyanide translating Nevil's """""English""""".
The predetor in the jungle is the same as earlier where womble blames a soldier for getting malaria in the jungle and playing lost ghost monster with him :D

Military drones do not have to be expensive. You can go into the shops here in Ireland and buy a camera drone from anywhere around under 50 euro, to a few thousand euro. Which is close to the same in US dollars. Company level commanders should have access to a handful of drone scout operators. And a decent drone that flies hugh enough to not be seen by insurgents, while still being able to clearly see them. Ideally this should be a squad level thing. As in a combat squad, in direct radio communications with a handful of drone operators, watching them from above, and the drone being a radio transmitter so they can always communicate with outside assets. These drones shouldn't cost over €100,000 each, and that's being very generous. They can be used to direct artillery fire support to reduce the weight requirement of offensive weapons on the drone. As in the drone operators also having a remote control for an automated artillery system for the squad....well, for important missions, because budgets. I could be totally wrong here though. But one thing I know, is that not every Military scout drone has to cost over 100,000 dollars or euro. Gangsters here in Ireland, apparently use off the shelf drones to look out for police cars.
@@AsianPaulConrad Yes, it definitely is. Having said that, that's a cost that doesn't really increase with numbers. Think of it like a news reporter and camera crew the ground of a news story. It doesn't matter if there is one person watching of five million people watching, the cost to pay for them, their equipment, getting them to the location, etc, still has a minimum requirement to make it possible to do. What makes it practically possible is that the income gained from so many people watching it gets more and more financially sustainable, the more people do watch it. Simular to programming a major gaming console brand. You don't pay for Nintendo or PlayStation's design teams by selling a small amount of consoles. It has to be mass production to make sence. So mass production of military drones will shrink the cost of programming overall. There can be increasing levels of budget for higher priority specific squads and missions. But one or two $10,000 blimp drones, flying as a scout, radio signal transmitter, etc, for a million dollar plus vehicle and it's crew, isn't asking a lot, relatively speaking. Facial recognition technology could be used for scanning a crowd for known insurgents, weapon recognition (I mean spotting weapons, particularly if they seem to be pointed towards the vehicle), ease of after action reports, etc. Plus, if artillery support is requested, the artillery can double check the drone phootage at a glance, to see if whoever called in the fire, didn't do the mistake of accidentally calling in his or her own position, instead of the targets position...which apparently is a thing that happens in real life, under the stress of combat.
As a lot of people have already said, Nevil (as he still kinda goes by) is Vietnamese so it's just his heavy accent. As the videos go on his english improves noticeably and his accent becomes weaker. At least to me.
If you're bleeding out, you honestly want a lowered heartrate and respiration. Obviously within limits. The more blood pressure and flow you have, the faster you bleed out. You still want to limit the risk in those scenarios, though, since you won't be as closely monitored with a paramedic standing by with antidote. It's a tricky balance to maintain.
On the other hand, once the bleeding is stopped, lower heart rate and breathing combined with less blood means way less oxygen distribution. Need to be careful to not have it drop too low.

Speaking of speakers on a tank reminded me of one my favourite story from reddit. You're going to have to bare with me it was a while ago and I am trying to remember it also not military so don't know the lingo. An American squad was pinned down in the middle of the street by the taliban and radio'd in for some reinforcements. They got there wish when a British tank platoon answered asking for there co-ords. The R.O gave them the coordinates and the Americans waited 5-10 minutes taking the odd pot shot to keep the taliban from advancing and overrunning their position. When off in the distance they heard something weird coming, and the next second they saw the British tank crews screaming around the corner with Vengaboys on FULL BLAST the taliban then shifted their attention and fire to the tanks and destroyed one of the speakers. Which according to the Americans was a massive mistake as they watched the turrets of these three tanks turn towards the taliban and erased them from existence. After it was deemed to be clear the platoon leader of the British tank crew opens his hatch pops out and asks the Americans "anyone for a spot of tea chaps" to which the squad leader of the Americans replied "You are some fucking crazy Brits and we are dam sure glad to see you fuckers" I have no idea if this is true or not but if it is, I am so proud to be British
Grafenwoehr Training Area, always will rain and snow when you get there, and then rain and snow when you tear down. 6 years of going to that place multiple times a year.. mop suit was the best way to stay warm.
I have been waiting for your reaction to this video since you started watching Womble's videos. Between the Doomsday shotgun rounds and the Sophia bits, it is one of my favorite parts of this series.
Fun fact arma 3 does have proper tree penitration for bullets so you have to treat all trees as thinner than they are. That makes leaning around a tree more exposing than it looks since the edge of the tree only slows down and misdirects the bullet (this can save you though cause some armor can shrugg off ricochets). As for the shrapnel and the corrugated wall, shrapnel is a modded feature the base game doesn't have it, so the modders probably didn't give the shrapnel proper ballistics
Dude, it’s not just the military where meetings are like that. One of the most valuable skills you can acquire in any office job is the ability to sleep with your eyes open. Because, as you say, probably 5 minutes of the hour long meeting is devoted to stuff that’s relevant to your job. Yet, for some reason, you can’t just leave and get back to all that work waiting for you on your desk when your part of the meeting is over, but instead you have to sit there and listen to info which is useless to you and which is all probably already contained in the meeting packets everyone gets anyway.
Fun fact: a game called Hunt Showdown actually calculates the distance, penetration power, type of weapon and round used and cover material to see if you get hit behind it and how much damage you take if you do
The only case where I can see "doomsday rounds" being real is if someone takes KS-23, takes 23mm HE shells from AA gun that "donated" the barrel to it and crams said shell into KS-23 case. However that creates several problems: 1)extremely heavy(relative to caliber) shell with small shotgun powder charge creates extremely low velocity; 2)it would double the length of the full round so you can no longer pump it; 3)extremely heavy(relative to caliber) shell in a gun that is already recoiling on the edge of human physique? Yeah, recoil would be too much for consequetive shots. However 20-25mm is that sweet spot where two "howitzers" of infantry small arms world meet. Shotguns and grenade launchers. Both low velocity high caliber gun with dozens of ammo types each. Multitools of gun world.
You’re overdoing it with removing the video when talking about something during a pause. Leave it up when you’re talking about something *in* the video itself
I know the sound levels aren't the same, but when I was a gardener I used to use ear defenders while operating 2 stroke weed hackers (strimmers) and they managed to block out most of the noise while still being able to hear people shouting at me through the noise. Those were just regular Peltor ear defenders. I suppose they might be too large to wear with a helmet though unless they could be incorporated onto them.
ok so. never seen your content before, but watching you go from explaining how ground units are terrified of air units to the "ork power of belief" from 40k killed me. That's a like
Re gunfire related hearing loss. For the most part it's only the higher frequencies that are damaged by it, and not as bad as you'd expect. Tinnitus is a big part of it though, and can be the more debilitating part of it. Also the hardest to quantify from a compensation POV. Because it's only the higher frequencies lost, the standard service compensation here in the UK uses it to minimise the compensation as you'll still hear voices etc (1-3kHz iirc) where the high frequency loss means you'll struggle in crowds/high background. Also worth noting, hearing loss due to explosions/blast injury is a separate thing.
The rain is my favorite mission weather. It covers all the basic noise of footsteps and shrubbery when sneaking up on a position. I agree this is a terrible weather type for survival and long term camping.
My guess about Nevil is that he has a bad cleft pallette/hare lip preventing enunciating certain consonants like 't'. I think 'simp' got named more like 8 years ago, but I'm not sure. La Miacova seems to be some kind of fitness model with sculpted abs and thighs which are indeed muscular.
Hello, sir! About the penetration capabilities of a round, in ArmA III's virtual training course you get to test with a very neat tracer and post penetration behaviour of each caliber on modern warfare (infantry only) that also explains cover/concealment, in which targets with plate carriers may or may not stop a round after it punches through a certain material. Ricochets are also traced and shown, pretty neat! I heartily recommend you checking it out, there are videos here about that part. Cheers, mate.

15:10 Ranks up there with the houses in Elder Scrolls Skyrim apparently being completely impervious from dragon's fire and their full weight landing on them. That said, video games will be video games and sometimes full realism might not be as fun as partial, or barely any, realism.
Mostly Special forces use fancy hearing protection? In Sweden even conscripted soldiers and the home guard use comtacs. Every single soldier in the swedish armed forces use them. :-)
Before the military issued earplugs the thing to do was put cigarette butts in your ears. I tried it once, it's minimally effective but it does work at least a little bit.
Re: being cold and wet. I've been in some funky situations, having been a boy scout my whole life, and I can assure you, from personal experience, that hypothermia is the most peaceful way to go.

3:48 Soldiers suffering from damage to hearing has been a problem since firearms were introduced to warfare and - as you said - is being properly addressed since only relatively recently. There are accounts from the world wars of artillery personell stuffing mud in their ears because the noise was unbearable otherwise.
I think the old way, keeping the video paused on the screen was better, for example when discussing uniforms, guns, vehicles or other stuff on the screen it's better if the viewers can see what is discussed
There is a guy on my discord server that was named MisterMarx and my stupid brain didnt realize that he was named marx so i called him mister for a whole week until i heard some of my other buddies call him marx, the damage was already done so 4 years later he is still mister for me and i still refuse to correct myself.

I have been waiting for your reaction to this video since you started watching Womble's videos. Between the Doomsday shotgun rounds and the Sophia bits, it is one of my favorite parts of this series.
damn i'm this early just because i'm expecting another arma reaction
also,yeah just do a patreon dude
Fun fact arma 3 does have proper tree penitration for bullets so you have to treat all trees as thinner than they are. That makes leaning around a tree more exposing than it looks since the edge of the tree only slows down and misdirects the bullet (this can save you though cause some armor can shrugg off ricochets).
As for the shrapnel and the corrugated wall, shrapnel is a modded feature the base game doesn't have it, so the modders probably didn't give the shrapnel proper ballistics
Can't wait to see his reaction to part 9.
uhhh thats gonna be great
Dude, it’s not just the military where meetings are like that. One of the most valuable skills you can acquire in any office job is the ability to sleep with your eyes open.
Because, as you say, probably 5 minutes of the hour long meeting is devoted to stuff that’s relevant to your job. Yet, for some reason, you can’t just leave and get back to all that work waiting for you on your desk when your part of the meeting is over, but instead you have to sit there and listen to info which is useless to you and which is all probably already contained in the meeting packets everyone gets anyway.
was an RCO/armourer for my university rifle team and man, I got myself the reactive headphones and it was a world of difference.
Fun fact: a game called Hunt Showdown actually calculates the distance, penetration power, type of weapon and round used and cover material to see if you get hit behind it and how much damage you take if you do
Army does this too actually
The only case where I can see "doomsday rounds" being real is if someone takes KS-23, takes 23mm HE shells from AA gun that "donated" the barrel to it and crams said shell into KS-23 case. However that creates several problems: 1)extremely heavy(relative to caliber) shell with small shotgun powder charge creates extremely low velocity; 2)it would double the length of the full round so you can no longer pump it; 3)extremely heavy(relative to caliber) shell in a gun that is already recoiling on the edge of human physique? Yeah, recoil would be too much for consequetive shots.
However 20-25mm is that sweet spot where two "howitzers" of infantry small arms world meet. Shotguns and grenade launchers. Both low velocity high caliber gun with dozens of ammo types each. Multitools of gun world.
You’re overdoing it with removing the video when talking about something during a pause. Leave it up when you’re talking about something *in* the video itself
I know the sound levels aren't the same, but when I was a gardener I used to use ear defenders while operating 2 stroke weed hackers (strimmers) and they managed to block out most of the noise while still being able to hear people shouting at me through the noise. Those were just regular Peltor ear defenders. I suppose they might be too large to wear with a helmet though unless they could be incorporated onto them.
ok so. never seen your content before, but watching you go from explaining how ground units are terrified of air units to the "ork power of belief" from 40k killed me. That's a like
i love how simple it is for me to laugh, i literally busted out laughing at the first second of the video where paul does his knife hand
*Predator noises*
Womble: hmmm
Re gunfire related hearing loss. For the most part it's only the higher frequencies that are damaged by it, and not as bad as you'd expect. Tinnitus is a big part of it though, and can be the more debilitating part of it. Also the hardest to quantify from a compensation POV. Because it's only the higher frequencies lost, the standard service compensation here in the UK uses it to minimise the compensation as you'll still hear voices etc (1-3kHz iirc) where the high frequency loss means you'll struggle in crowds/high background.
Also worth noting, hearing loss due to explosions/blast injury is a separate thing.
"I joined the Army and all I got is tinnitus"
The rain is my favorite mission weather. It covers all the basic noise of footsteps and shrubbery when sneaking up on a position. I agree this is a terrible weather type for survival and long term camping.
Thanks for finally teaching me what the DMR in 'Bullpup DMR' stands for. ;D
I can confirm the ear protection thing, mine have been ringing nonstop for the last 24 years.
This was the first Soviet I saw and put in a comedy playlist. He had me at "Used food nuggets!" I'm being nice even if this was demonetized. Arigatou.
4:20 welcome to Britain lads. Sincerely, a Brit.
Hell Yeah! Doomsday Rounds!.... I tried to warn you about the music...well...
My guess about Nevil is that he has a bad cleft pallette/hare lip preventing enunciating certain consonants like 't'. I think 'simp' got named more like 8 years ago, but I'm not sure.
La Miacova seems to be some kind of fitness model with sculpted abs and thighs which are indeed muscular.
Hello, sir! About the penetration capabilities of a round, in ArmA III's virtual training course you get to test with a very neat tracer and post penetration behaviour of each caliber on modern warfare (infantry only) that also explains cover/concealment, in which targets with plate carriers may or may not stop a round after it punches through a certain material. Ricochets are also traced and shown, pretty neat! I heartily recommend you checking it out, there are videos here about that part. Cheers, mate.
Tanoa, the jungle map they play on, is full of predator references, even some the loading screen tips are references, I know you can find videos on them
15:10 Ranks up there with the houses in Elder Scrolls Skyrim apparently being completely impervious from dragon's fire and their full weight landing on them. That said, video games will be video games and sometimes full realism might not be as fun as partial, or barely any, realism.
Also the clacking that was in the jungle was the call of a shoebill
You should watch an arma 3 with a 40k mod video from rimmy
in Standout VR, the nylon tent fabric protects you from 5.56 AND 7.62.
jesus this came out 5 years ago, i remember watching it when it came out
Mostly Special forces use fancy hearing protection? In Sweden even conscripted soldiers and the home guard use comtacs. Every single soldier in the swedish armed forces use them. :-)
I´d love to see more sovietwomble from you. Loved the vid
The problem with Nevil is that's not a simulated radio voice. That's what he ALWAYS sounds like.
that 150m engagement reminded me of Simo Häyhä, you should totally do a video on him, for several good reasons.
Before the military issued earplugs the thing to do was put cigarette butts in your ears. I tried it once, it's minimally effective but it does work at least a little bit.
I like how absolutely nobody noticed the name of the operation was "Operation: Sophia MALE-Cova"
If something is so loud your ears are ringing, thats permanent hearing loss and you going deaf slowly.
Ouch, briefings to large groups sound like torture...
point shooting is surprisingly accurate at short ranges
Re: being cold and wet. I've been in some funky situations, having been a boy scout my whole life, and I can assure you, from personal experience, that hypothermia is the most peaceful way to go. Well, after you're done shivering uncontrollably ofc, that part's no fun. (I'm alive 'cause my mates noticed me almost stumbling through a campfire, unresponsive to their calls.)
14:03 having seen this particular video of womble's several times, theres someone named "Mike" in the bottom of the screen, who is my best assumption for who he meant
Those active headphones sound awesome! Are they available on the consumer market?
They are. My cousin has multiple pairs he uses for range shooting and they are awesome. You can hear a pin drop with some of them but gunfire gets muffled to dull pops.
If you wanna come down from Caffeine easy, or want a good replacement for Caffeine if you're ready to try, Earl Gray, hot. 10-15 Milligrams of caffine a tea cup. Mellow fruity notes, clears the sinuses.
Just 3 episodes until the BADGERS! They are the Badgers!
3:48 Soldiers suffering from damage to hearing has been a problem since firearms were introduced to warfare and - as you said - is being properly addressed since only relatively recently.
There are accounts from the world wars of artillery personell stuffing mud in their ears because the noise was unbearable otherwise.
9:44 yea I just brought max rebels and went around one tree in circles
if you are a courtesy clerk rain means injury, sickness, and cold.
3:28 you could just add silen....sry sry "suppressers to your guns the way the pest control do in citys
17:16 I was just waiting for this moment 😂
I like how Paul doesn’t cut out the audio when the copyrighted music comes on lol
I think the old way, keeping the video paused on the screen was better, for example when discussing uniforms, guns, vehicles or other stuff on the screen it's better if the viewers can see what is discussed
There is a guy on my discord server that was named MisterMarx and my stupid brain didnt realize that he was named marx so i called him mister for a whole week until i heard some of my other buddies call him marx, the damage was already done so 4 years later he is still mister for me and i still refuse to correct myself.
Yes guns are loud
When I was in the cadets I forgot my ear defenders and my ears were fucking ringing
My sergeant chewed me out but on the plus side I couldn't hear him
13:45 Actually he just sucks at speaking English.
nevils speaking english?? XP
Huge womble fan, absalute legend
yes it was wildlands with hat missions. solo with AI teammates.... omg did it take awhile.
This guy: worried about getting demonetized
also this guy: reacts to sovietwomble
3:55 i shot my dad's colt 1911 (45 cal) once with no ear protection and my ears were ringing for several minutes and that was just one round
I honestly wonder if some M3 crews would do stuff like blast some good ol' rock n' roll while rolling through places. imagine a Bradley rolling down a back road in Kandahar province with 115 blasting out the speakers. If I was the Tali or Al-Qai I'd be shitting bricks!
Man a fentanyl lollipop pop sounds wonderful.
These guys especially the hostage rescue guys and funny 🤣
9:39. Wildlands. B1tch to kill but the mask does actually upgrade your night vision. I mean thermal
That mic scream is hilarious.
"Who the hell is Sofia Miakova" you ask
now you had your answer my dude
Astra militarum : my lasgun out of bettry but i can re-charge with fate and little campfire
Orks : hehe my daka go burrrr
