The mission shown is a coop (vs AI) on the Altis terrain.
Q: What server am I playing Arma games on, who are these people, and can you join?
A: It's the private server for my community, Shack Tactical. As of 2015 we've been around for over nine years, and I wouldn't trade it for anything - we have a fantastic memberbase and it makes for amazing gameplay in Arma and elsewhere. You can read more about us here: www.shacktac.com
Q: What mods does ShackTac use in Arma?
A: I keep a list of them here: dslyecxi.com/sh...
Q: Does ShackTac play mostly coop or mostly PvP/adversarial in Arma?
A: We do a mix of about 70% adversarial and 30% coop - both offer unique experiences and are a blast to play.
Q: How long have you been playing the Arma series?
A: I've been here from the start, with my Operation Flashpoint experience beginning with the demo's release in 2001. I went into the US Marine Corps shortly after (no relation!) and in 2004 I started playing OFP in multiplayer. 2006 saw me found ShackTac, which started in OFP and then transitioned through Arma 1, Arma 2, and finally, Arma 3. I hope to continue this for a long time into the future, as well as share the ride with viewers like you, as corny as that sounds!
Q: What system am I filming all of my Arma and VBS footage on?

Lol Dslyecxi, Taco: "Fac Be advised Reaper has taken out that BTR" FAC: "Which one?" Dslyecxi mutters under his breath "The one that's burning"
38:10 for those wandering
All these flight videos Dslyecxi! You're really treating us :D
Tibialstone7 Hello again!
Illusive Man Howdy!
+Tibialstone7 Am I late to say "Hi"
Brennon Kirk Hi!
Brennon Kirk Hi!
Happy to see again this " RTB ceremonial" . I think every mission without it here is incomplete .
I think I've learned that Dslyecxi either have eagle eyes or really super duper high definition computer monitors.
I think he had 2k monitor. Might be 4k.
Finnish duck 2 of them, in fact
TempestasAurum He's at 2560x1600, so he has about twice as many pixels as a normal 1080p monitor. Also, he doesn't have to deal with UA-cam processing, which helps.
NotActuallyBFG That makes a lot of sense, I'm still using an old 720 P 1440x900 monitor myself, so comparatively I'm pretty blind.
During the first BTR search, I was waiting to hear "Hey, that rock is moving."
This is one of those videos/missions that I just wanted to continue on and on. Well done!
I love all your videos (and those of the other ShackTac members), but when I try to get others (non-gamers) to watch them, it's always your aviation ones that wow them the most. Thanks for another one.
Nice to see you in the Killer Egg again +Dslyecxi!!!!
Taconic: Reaper Copies
Dsly: I always like seeing how a co-pilot interprets what I say.
Lost it.
awesome sauce as usual , it never fails to amaze me how you spot and find this shit in all that clutter, ps thank you for your response to my question on a previous video about the real life helo flight i look forward to seeing the next installment.
Another aviation video, man, it almost feels like Christmas :D Awesome stuff!
I like love these close air supports.
I'm impressed at how smooth your gameply is, your pc and the server you play on must be beasts :)
Amazing video, great work and awesome copilot.
Love these bigger missions and always air missions and whenever you do those low passes I just want to shout "hey you guys" ha would make the respective fire team laugh
epic video man! good flying reaper
Another great video man! Keep up the awesome work.
When you do cinematic video of ops, like the IDF v CSAT one earlier, could you narrate, ex. talking about troop movements and what is going on? I often find that it is more like watching random guys getting shot at, and less like seeing a full view of what is happening during the engagement. It'd be a lot more interesting.
Another great video. What's up with the GPS in the bottom right of your view though - it's showing contours for the sea, but not for the land?
Those smoke bounces are unforgiving. Some guys in my clan have gotten really good at getting them on target. It's basically an art.
That was really Great!!! Thanks Dslyecxi, you rule!
were the black moving dots at 12:12 moving along the road going east, in line with Dslyecxi's view, Ei?
Out of curiosity, are you going to start implementing ACE3? Figured you'd already have adopted it by now considering ST used ace in Arma 2, is there something I'm missing?
The Cheshire Cat At some point, yes. Haven't gotten around to it yet, and we generally lag behind in adopting stuff like that in order to avoid the first-release issues and such.
***** Fair points, thanks.
Do you guys also use 9-Liner for Cas and 7-Liner "or short version" Medivac/Casevac ?
That dive was fucking sick.
y you no run in to tham at the end i whant to see a big boom
Awesome man! Btw how do u get that mini map ?
When you have a GPS in your kit, press Right Control +m, should bring up the map
I miss the old beep sounds from the radios in Arma2. Are these new radios part of some mod or Arma3? Sorry, I don't play Arma.
Hey there. I have a question about your roles: I am guessing you have 2 or 3 game masters working together on a completely different TeamSpeak channel. Would you mind correcting me on this with your actual structure? I can hardly imagine your HQ having it's nose in Zeus.
Also, your are using RHS, but that's a freaking MP5 I saw; please enlighten me on that.
how do you dissable those radar dots that are normally on the "radar HUD" without actually disabling the radar?
pontusieg IIRC this is a change that was made for Marksmen, I believe the M/AH-9s work like this now, and maybe some other helos were changed as well.
***** ah great, now maybe we can have some light helos in our Ops as well, hated how they would spoil all my nasty suprises as zeus ;)
38:10 FAC is a little snippy today.
***** Just wondering Dslyecxi. What is your philosophy... (as mentioned around the 5:30 or so mark)
pkisbest I think it's that he lets infantry on the ground handle the EI, otherwise he could go in a lay waste to the whole area. But where's the fun in that for everyone else? :)
Although it would be awesome to watch :)
+Dslyecxi I need to know your rig setup please!! I'm a big ARMA 3 fan and I am looking for the best setup to run it at optimal settings for distance, rendering and FPS.

***** Who is Zx and what does he do? Are the AI maneuvers dynamically controlled by a person?
George Burwood zx often creates our co-op missions and often 'directs' them. And by 'direct' I mean he plots to brutally murder us.
Dunno, I have no idea of his black magics. Could be Zeus, could be server commands, could be the deal he made with Lucifer...
Those to infantry at 25:03 got the shit observed out of them.
Do you ever use attack helicopters in ShackTac? I couldn't find any videos of them on your channel..
Fahrenheit Yes. He has used the Apache on a mission called Apache Havoc.. Just search that up. :)
Fahrenheit There are a few, Apache Havoc is probably the best example of that. There were some issues in Arma 2 netcode that made it a bit frustrating at times, but it seems like A3 may have mitigated some of that. One of my upcoming videos is of flying an Apache in an A3 coop, for example.
***** As Pilot or as Gunner?
MrBaronmoll Flying, so pilot.
***** Are you ever going back to Arma 2?
You gotta hear more screams on the radio before you start using rockets. LOL
that's a point, why doesn't the Pawnee have flares? would make sense given its role.
Dslyecxi, excited for the new terrain by Bohemia? What about it are you liking/disliking?
With how powerful a single AH-9 can be in these missions, do you guys ever put like a single MANPAD or AA on the AI's side? Or for that matter, I've seen a lot of your videos where the AI will swarm Hinds at you, but no-one seems to ever have any AA option other than an MMG max
Jared Brown I believe they are still testing everything out fully in Arma 3. The AI current seems to give little care about Aircraft currently. But if they wanted to, the AI could easily all fire on the helo and it would go down (with direction from the Game Master at the time which is usually ZX64)
My GOL clan uses headless client, who does attack these Hummingbirds. We find that when the AI chooses to shoot the MH-6s they aim for the pilot and take them down through the windshield. It's hilariously frusrating. Ops like this with little AA seem to increase the fun factor as long as you don't have a pilot who one man army's the whole mission.
if my internet wasn't shit I'd love to be on this server
I may just be missing the memo, but is this ACRE2?
JammedHam You can assume that our A3 coops are ACRE2 from here on out, yeah. It's almost always that. Advs are still ACRE1 for the moment.
thanks for the response, keep the quality videos coming.
where can I get a copy of ARMA 3 ?
Im pretty sure its on Steam.
I'm looking for the funny vid where some guy accidentally calls air support on himself. I saw it on Funny Junk, it was a UA-cam vid but I can't seem to find it now. Can anyone help me out?
You sure it wasn't SovietWomble? One of his Arma 3 Bullshittery videos has it where artillery gets called on him and his squad.
dragonturds554
That's the one, I found it, thanks
what does F.A.C. mean?
Zachary Maser Forward air controller.
ok thank you
Does ShackTac ever do missions with civilian AI in an urban setting?
Mike van Veen We have in the past, but generally having extra AI like that hurts performance. Maybe in some distant future where Arma handles AI on the server more gracefully.
I think the video 'Human Shield' had those?
***** or the civis throw exploding "rocks"
***** Think DX12 will help the game any?
Kurai - remains to be seen. Hope so!
No deslikes, it's a record!
tro choi nay la tro choi gi sao ma choi duoc hay da
Another video!
check 37:40 wow
Noice.
They look like ants lol
