lets be honest. we all have +1000h in this game and still play it. The prices are just a no-brainer now. i would just add everything i dont own purchase it. even by far the worst dlc, the Kart dlc, is at a right price below 1€ / 1£ and for what it is, i would even spend that on it.
besides with upcoming iron curtain dlc, global mobilisation may turn out more useful and less out of place.
bump. arma3 currently with big discount. for the love of god, get those bloody dlcs...
we can learn a lot from the Finns (turn on subtitles)
oi, i am pretty certain my bombs and missiles never miss any acceptable civilian or friendly casualties 
i dont get this post
stay safe guys...
since we go for classic
it still is the same 40gb.
Those who did the update on thursday just had to get additional 9gb since i've included the latest bugfix for cup. If they didnt catch those 9gb on time, its no big deal since its fully compatible. The fix included still some important changes and we just had it out for one single day.

to make a bold statement about the podcast and its impact on us: there is none.
why?
Because we simply dont do enough. We barely manage to push our steam discussion posting, we dont have a lot of audience in any of the highly competative social media platforms, although a lot of content is made, but barely seen and may very well never will be, and we dont do anything to get attention ingame and meet new people. We must increase those efforts. Those are the key elements. We all have to spend some time on this. Maybe we need new concepts, play OPs once all few months public or whatever. Our only and biggest problem is not enough recruitment effort. We need new ideas and we need a lot of commitment. We cant designate a recruitment officer as anyone get burned down by this burden. The group have to step up. And lets be honest, starting streams and youtube channels isnt done quickly and a extreme hard challenge. We may very well take an simpler route which is less time consuming and maybe more successful. I am not an expert in this field. I just feel we set our priorities wrong, dont spend enough time and group effort. We need realistic goals and realistic approach. We need time, commitment and all on board. We have a lot to offer. We must make sure, people get to know this. We should all stand together and work on this, NOW.
We play predefined scripted missions. Those missions therefore are adjusted to a - more or less - specific number of players. For instance: A mechanized mission with aerial reinserts, needs at least a vehicle crew, a pilot and a infantry group. Otherwise the mission can't be played as intended and we go for an other mission or replay.
Those big groups often play missions made on the go with zeus. This means one player is not participating activly but only putting down units, equipment, targets and stuff for the players. Since we are a relativly small group, we dont have such a luxury and it seems fairer to play with a predefined mission, because zeusing often leads to unfair situations and pvp incidents. Zeus is here only used in support for specific needs and not to create a entire mission.
If we want to get rid of LOAs, therefore a rough idea about player number on said event, we also must consider switching to zeus. Without any knowledge of the player number, we cant offer predefined missions with a lot of details, effects and 'love'. Which means one guy is busy an entire evening putting down stuff in hurry, while not beeing able to play. Also zeus has its limitation. You can do certain stuff, but you will never be able to get as much love into details. Even causing a lot of discussion afterwards since someone caused every issue and unfair situation, the mission has.
This is in my oppinion the reason, why LOAs are essential. Besides, we got the reservist system for those unwilling to leave LOAs.
ahoi matey, welcome aboard.
basically lythium offers that. sadly it doesnt use CUP buildings but a standalone version, which isnt really used by many other map projects. We've discussed it yet in regard of its size (4gb for one map), it was denied. maybe someone will redo it with cup/contact, so it will be smaller. until then we got what we got. there are rarely any great middle eastern maps around.

when you are trying to provoke the other side, but only get laughed at...
solid infrastructure (gameserver, a3sync repo, teamspeak, discord, website, forum)
no obligation besides notifying absence for mission planing
achieveable ranks but equality among group
The biggest downside is the lack of inside texture on many vehicles with the GM paid mod. The Helicoters are better then most mod helicopters, specially the CH-53A could be usefull. I think the quality of the mod is up to the dlcs from arma and its way better value for the money than for instance karts or tanks.
