Folk ARPS

If it helps to have a base for what should be reported in a contact report you can always use SALTA: S ize A ctivity L ocation T ime(can be ignored in arma) A ction(you're own). Location can be a grid, or a direction and distance. Which you use depends on different factors. A grid and a map marker a...

That's odd because I didn't really feel like I was helping much. The one or two targets that where called in I couldn't get sight on to fire, or I couldn't fire without risking hitting friendlies with ricochets, so I spent a lot of time just engaging random heat blips on the thermals. I was actually...

Holy stones CO Northfor Simple mission with a simple plan, sweep the AO and kill everyone. I made my way to the cache and fought off a couple attackers, however I tossed frag that bounced and I ran out of cover to not get blown up. Then I got shot. Luckily my minions went on to succeed anyways. Gro...

signposting this thread as its successor With that thread mentioned I would like to say this: I don't mean this thread to become a discussion about why CAS does or doesn't suck, or rules that hosts should impose, or anything of that nature. Simply ways in which mission designers can, without host i...

How to stop a bullet? You stay behind cover. How to not get shot at? You stay hidden. This rule does not apply to only bullets coming from choppers, but from ground forces as well. There have been so many opportunities personally where I alone could had cocked up the entire enemy team. Either I hav...

With as much as cas gets brought up recently, everyone says mission-makers need to balance it and figure out ways to make it mesh well with the infantry, but I haven't seen much actual discussion or brainstorming on how to do that without adding restrictive rules in briefing to the pilots. So I am s...

I don't know why you people are referring to meta-gaming, if you review my post I said no such thing. cough The whole discussion seems to sparked around the fact what happened on that Compundit mission. I'd say what happened to the chopper was part of the game. It's as big threat as is a whole compo...

These three are the ones I think are most important. Well the first two are most and the third I just like.

Reaction to contact I think is our biggest failure as a group.

People still have RPG's because it's the standard load-out for FA. in 10-15 mins I would be repaying them with my BOOLETS. :laugh: It takes literally 2 lines to change it. Just because that's how F2 does it by default doesn't mean you should not even consider touching it. This is arma. Think more a...

My wife hates that I spend so much time online gaming, but I could be worse. I could watch online porno or stalk Justin Bieber. Thats the problem with these oldtimers, they can't multi task like use young kids. 3 screens, one for porn, one for arma, and one with the real time map of the location of...
