>>345477568
I love how my ARMA 3 client now has "APEX" and "Purchase Now" written all over it
>>345477568
will new arma fix ridiculous cpu usage?
How's Tanoa?
>>345477786
why don't you own it tho?
it's basically a must have if you actually play the game
>>345477927
nope. oc to 4.5+ and be happy
>>345477568
I don't think I'll ever get over how stupid that design is
I really want to get this game but I'm a poorfag atm :(
Gotta love it when you get laid off...
>>345478000
>what if we attached plane to gun
What's stupid about this?
DLC is ridiculously expensive
>>345477985
amazing. literally feels like a different game because you can't snipe everything from 1.5 km anymore. now you can easily walk into a division of soldier that are 120 meters from you and have no clue about it because of how dense the jungle are. same goes for all land vehicles
>>345477568
what the fuck is that edgelord looking A10?
>>345478336
Word
>>345478179
The fact that the gun is obsolete against anything modern.
>>345478463
nice joke
>>>/k/
where are the fucking servers, 99% is autistic altis/tanoi real life some shit
>>345478179
That its not just an A-10 that is hopelessly obsolete, its a """"stealth"""" A-10 that they attempted to add stealthy features to but did nothing but show how they don't understand those features.
See the engine nacelles and how they're angular? Thats to lower radar return. See the tail how how its at an angle? same thing.
Problem is that you can still see the front of the turbine and that acts like a fucking christmas tree on radar, as does half the other shit on the airframe, making it a pointless rule of cool addition.
>>345477993
even 45+ won't save my amd fx cpu from dropping <25fps every time there is more than twenty AI enemies on field
>>345478334
Uh oh, that just means the AI can see me from a mile away, and I can't see anything past 10m.
>>345478736
>99% of American servers is autistic altis/tanoi real life some shit
fixed
Lifemods help filter out the normies/casuals/shitters and put money into Bohemia's pocket, nothing to complain about
Is there a fix for the AMD processor performance issue or are we fucked?
>tfw it will never mostly be 60v60 or co-op domination maps ever again.
Wish DayZ retail wasn't garbage and it would somehow take these RP servers with them.
>>345478807
>AMD
are you retarded? why are you using AMD in a gaming PC that is *specifically* used in a game that heavily dependent on single-thread performance?
>>345478147
have you been laid off for the last 3-4 years while the game was out?
>>345478839
They don't unless you start shooting AK in the air
also they use new AI pathfinding for vehicles. now tanks can literally stalk you through jungle which is scary as fuck if all you have is an RPG
>>345478937
>99% of the servers
It doesn't help that the few servers that exist for actual normal combined arms gameplay are loaded with shitty 50-gig bloatware mods like CUP so special snowflakes can pretend they are SEAL team 6 with their shitty looking M4's and uniforms. And then they wonder why they have no fucking players.
The CoD-babbies crying that ArmA actually had a different timeframe for once in it's 14 years of existence as a franchise are just the fucking worst shitters and are the direct reason multiplayer is dead as fuck if you don't like roleplaying bullshit.
>>345479084
not to mention that ALL arma games + APEX was on flash sale on bohemia site for $20
TWENTY
>>345479212
>Arma 2 players are CoD-babbies
OP if you want a good discussion you should make a general on /vg/ (I'd love to actually talk about in-depth arma stuff with someone not from arma forums)
here on /v/ it all be complains of poorfags about their shitty PCs and how "expensive" game is.
Will I get significant fps increase from 760 to 480 or 1070?
>>345479084
Built my PC at the end of last year, didn't decide I wanted to buy it until i saw the Apex expansion + the Apex Edition being $90 in Canada I put it off, a bit too long.
What happened to the PvE? I remember before DayZ came out ARMA2: OA had a bunch of PvE servers filled with vets and hardcore players
It was pretty fun
All I see of ARMA 3 is RP, Wasteland, and team deathmatch shit
Can someone explain to me how you have to play this game?
The MP always runs like absolute trash,and there's no mode to just freeroam and operate.
Does this game have any single player value?
>fake weapons
>fake vehicles
I wish this would stop.
Why couldn't they just be A-10s?
>>345479430
PvE operations are mostly private.
>>345479482
Because it costs money to get a license to use them
>>345479286
Are you fucking kidding me?
>>345478979
>implying my pc is *SPHECHIFICHALLLYYYYYY* used in arma3
are you retarded? i just played this game, that's all. i'm not going to make every single hardware choice in favor of one little shooty-shooty
>>345477568
so is this an actual plane or just vidya bullshit?
>>345479390
what CPU? if it's decent you can easily get 15+ FPS on 480 or 25-30+ on 1070
obviously in game is maxed @ 1080p
>>345479737
nope. it was a 12 hour long deal on their anniversary
>>345479382
The fact that you don't think they are shows that the boot fucking fits. Operation Arrowhead killed the franchise far more than DayZ ever did. The moment they caved and made a boring, shitty, and buggy as fuck Not-Afghanistan map all the CoD children flooded in to play make-believe and it fucking ruined multiplayer.
Worse map, worst factions, worst gear, most boring possible setting, and timed to be 'le relevant to current events xDDDD'. It's the most uninspired entry in the franchise and was built from the ground up to sucker in a bunch of new players from Battlefield and CoD with the setting. It's the equivalent to Wargame: AirLand Battle where 80% of the new customers just bought it because there was an A-10 on the cover.

>Literally was just a bunch of faggots forming lines on hills and plinking at helpless, braindead AI through thermal scopes.
>>345479979
that's perfect. you won't get bottlenecked by CPU so if it's 1440p than go for 1070 it's like 30%+ faster
>>345479938
No, most people just want a combined arms simulator that doesn't have thermals attached to every fucking thing in existance.
The reason for CUP and projects like it is because cold-war era engagements are more fun than staring at a white/black hot image and selecting what distance the poor fucker you're about to ventilate is at.
>>345480061
using nightstalker feels like cheating desu
>>345479482
>MUUUHHHHH M4 faggots too retarded to realize 90% of the vehicles and equipment in ArmA 3 already exist IRL
I wish you faggots that hopped on the ArmA train during Operation Arrowhead would just shut the fuck up and stop acting like you knew anything about anything. Fuck off and go play airsoft if you want to play make believe.
>>345480235
this
>>345479948
only reason they futureized the entire game was becasue they didn't want to commit to the lisensce terms the american army has, and that is to portray their forces and equipment as superior to any other forces.
BF4 did some of the same, except they dont bother lisencing anymore after being sued for some helicopter bullshit in BF3.
arma 2 had the sight setting for america to be superior, so that was okay.
feels badman, arma 3 could have been non-futureshit if they had just caved in to their demands.
>>345479754
>Buy shitty hardware
>Complain about performance
>>345479482
The era of real life hardware in vidya is coming to a close
Manufacturers got tough with intellectual property and started charging bigger and bigger amounts to license shit, and also have creative leverage (they probably won't allow you to use their gun if you give it shitty stats or if the game is 2edgy or whatever).
Devs are better off just using fakes
>>345480183
Oh, you mean like in Operation arrowhead when everyone and their mother had fucking thermals and high-powered scopes anyway, and the terrain made it impossible to not be seen through the naked eye to begin with, Including almost no cover? Wowee so much fucking fun.
Please. Cold War autists only played PvE anyway. I play TvT exclusively and I've never had a problem dealing with thermal-using faggots, and it's even easier now that there are uniforms that defeat thermals. If anything, it made it so you had to be more intelligent with positioning and not just drive around like you were playing Babbyfield. Ya know, like a fucking simulator.
>>345479948
Will we even have A-10 in service in 10+ years?
I thought we were moving onto F-35's.
>>345479754
why are you here then? go play some moba or whatever works on amd or just kill yourself bro
>>345480519
>Ya know, like a fucking simulator.
lmao
>>345480523
do you really expect them to sent brand new f35s to fight some small groups of faggots with aks and mortars in the hills of afghanistan in 10 years?
>>345480351
It's not even futureshit though, you mongol. >>345480235
It's worlds more interesting than literally just copy-pasting assets like the franchise had been doing for 12 years prior to ArmA 3. It had nothing to do with licensing and everything to do with the fact that people were getting bored of playing the same shit over and over again since flashpoint. The only people that weren't tired of it were the teenagers that hopped on ArmA during Operation Arrowhead to be SUPAH SPECIAL OPEROOTERS LIKE MUH AIRSOFT MATCHES.

DELETE THIS
I don't think ARMA is worth it anymore, it's infested with Wasteland/casual servers, the only way to get a true experience with real teamwork is to join an autist server where everyone takes themselves so seriously. You will also end up juggling ~20GB+ of mod dependencies just get up and running.
Project Reality/Squad offers a superior teamwork experience over ARMA, and you don't have to jump through so many hoops to get involved: just jump in and play. PR also has a better combined arms experience too.

If you look in the workshop there are mods that create random missions, may not be free roam as such, but it does offer varied environments.

Feels bad. I miss ArmA 1 and flashpoint, before all these shitty custom missions and mods crapped all over it and the only people that played were folks that wanted an actual TvT military experience like advertised when it first came out. 2 started the whole sandbox bullshit.
>>345481096
>"and it's cost effective"
>>345480764
eh, 90% of the CO-OP communities in arma right now use ACE3 and RHS in some shape or form.
It's been like this since arma 2.
modder content > vanilla content
right now, futureshit weapons and vehicles dont get used, because they simply are too powerful or too far into the future.
the game IS set in 2030 or whatever tough, but eh...
>>345481194

>>345481760
>Every single community server is running RHS
They're running CUP, and they're all life and wasteland servers if they aren't private communities.
Shows what you fucking know.
>>345482109
vanilla bullet damage for the 6.5mm weapons is 2shot chest kill with maximum bodyarmor.
If you want meme damage, you can use a simple custom file to make all your 5.56 toys hit harder.

>Implying they are anything other than completely neutered in the airsofter fantasy missions.
It doesn't help that they are almost invariably in a PvE scenario where the AI is almost defenseless.
>>345483225
But it's not, though. You'd have to be ignorant as fuck to think it would be a one-sided stomp. Hell, up until the 80's even the CIA projected us getting seal-clubbed in the long term by the USSR due to the huge disparity in numbers and industry. The only reason we won the cold war was economics and political instability. In an actual shooting conflict, on the tactical level, western forces actually had to lean heavily on 'force multipliers' to be symmetrical, with strategies designed around elastic defense and hoping the Russians over-extended their resources to the point that counter-offensives could be made.
While few will argue that the west doesn't have superior equipment and troops, Russians were 'good enough' and had more.
>>345483547
So why not save done cash and buy an amd cpu with faster refresh rate?
>>345479482
this
>>345483225
Actual "cold war gone hot" milsim would be dull as shit because you'd die most of the time. The predicted attrition rates for a symmetrical war are fucking horrible.
You don't get to do the helicopter shit becuase going higher than 6 feet off the floor is instadeath to tunguskas.

Hell, if anything, ARMA 3 brought in more COD cancer than had ever existed. Do you think the fanbase that enjoyed OFP, ARMA 1 and 2 were really COD-babies?
ARMA 3 wanted more of the COD crowd, Bohemia made a big deal how they wanted ARMA 3 to be more 'accessable' and wanted mainstream gamers (COD crowd) to get in on it.

none of that is empirical proofs. how does this outweigh the benefit of switching to a platform that can carry more weapons and is impervious to ground fire compared to A-10(an aircraft who's manufacturer is defunct)
>>345487152
Look dry runs and show of force. It's actually a tactic we used multiple times to root out enemy combatants. An A-10 in the area would fly in low and rev up the gun to give off the sound of it about to make a run. Enemies freak out and most of them start to run or stand up, or just overall act like retards that gives away exactly where they are allowing us to get a better indication of where they are and kill them

cool. now when you need to fight enemys at a strategic level what then. enjoy preventing a russian incursion into the balkans with >dry runs and >shows of force. They won't care and every precious A-10 is going to get nailed by a manpad or a buk day one. The Gun was useless in the gulf war when they tried to use it before emptying off their mavericks first they got shot down. just look at every a-10 shootdown case. the gun is the most useless feature on the aircraft. sure if your doing coin it's useful but even then you sacrifice strategic usability. A-10 has no purpose when f-35 can take on every task it does and do it better and then do and then more.

I understand you played videogames to much and read far to little. but the gun has no practical use in conventional war with the mass proliferation of manpads and the incredible age of the A-10 airframes

cute story but old and proven false forever ago. they have been sled testingf for awhile now. and have show that those under 136lbs are at risk of injury. they also tested older designs such as the f-18 and found it had similar problems

>>345490649
ArmA 2 doesn't have too many players anymore, and the editor is shit. The game is really clunky too.
I'd suggest that you get ArmA 3. It has a much better 3D Editor for making your own scenarios easily, better graphics, gameplay, a much more active community, and it has the Steam Workshop where you can get the Community Upgrade Project mods which basically port all the maps, weapons, and vehicles from ArmA 2 into ArmA 3.

Is that what the Air Force tells itself at night?
I have no doubt the F35, if it ever gets finished, will make an excellent replacement for the F18 or maybe just lightly take over some of the F22s roles. But in no way is this plane going to knock the A-10 or the F16 out of it's roles. And those are planes that are old as hell and need to be replaced by something bigger and better, they have no business going up against another modern military in maybe very select occasions (A-10 moreso than the F-16). It has no air superiority capabilities, and it cannot support troops on the ground in almost all occasions where having air support would be absolutely vital.

>>345491424
I think you're definitely right on every point, but the A10 probably isn't going to go away. It's a fairly durable aircraft and has what most fighter aircraft lack and that's loiter time. In the past they've sought to use fighters for all close air support roles but it didn't work because the planes would zoom out and have to make wide turns at higher speeds which created a greater delay between runs.
War with Russia and China doesn't really matter because there's still plenty of missions for it to run against much lesser forces, and its armaments are more than enough to defeat the vehicles they're fielding. The proliferation of SAMs hasn't beaten it yet. And yea it's not going to perform in strategic attacks, but that's also not why it was built.

Spare the "but this one time" shit. Even Cassius Clay lost some fights.
Can't wait to have this same convo in a couple of decades over a 6th generation aircraft and the new generation jerking off to the F-35. We will probably be shitting on AI's controlling the jets by then.
>>345493414
The point of stealth air craft like the F-22, B-2, and F-35 is to never even engage the enemy. The F-35 is needed for missions that will come after a first strike done by something like a B-2 where enemy air defenses and or MANPADs are still a threat.
>>345493454
Well, of course. All anyone considers is their pet plane and how it performs better in area A, B, and C, all the while ignoring why aircraft remain in service, the difficulty of switching them out, the increased costs of replacement, etc. etc.
>>345493581
And that's fantastic and all, but trying to confuse it's roles is completely retarded. You wouldn't send an F-35 to do an A-10s job and vic versa just like you would send in Airwingers to do EOD, or put a NASCAR in an F1 circuit.
>>345493414
>no other aircraft can fly as low as the A-10, take the amount of abuse
plenty of aircraft can fly that low and take similar abuse. A-10's don't have a history of taking SAM's well just like every other plane. they can resist 23mm to an extent thats about it. also irrelivant when modern craft don't need to get low to drow small diamater bomb2's
>and stay in the area
This is about the only one I'll give you the A-10 has long loiter time because of it's weak engines unfortunately that also means reaction time to needs is bad
>and give infantryman that fuzzy feeling and morale
b1b's give similar feelings tbqh. the effect on target vs risk to craft is more important.
Ultimately you are tqalking about a craft that exists purely for coin. when you could simply buy a cheaper aircraft that isnt 40 years old and out of production to do it cheaper.
>>345493084
I'm not >>/k/ or anything so I may be wrong but isn't the point of stealth planes to reflect radar attempting to detect them. That's why they are fully plated?

Got bad news for you.
>>345493581
that's only early in a war. when it comes to needing craft for strike interdiction and cas the f35 can do it all. Remember the f-35 with its wing pilons carries 2000lbs more ordinance than the A-10 and it's gun is just as effective vs light vehicles and infantry.
>>345493757
Of course not. But the thing is that an F-35 CAN do a strike missions. It carries similar payloads (Sometimes superior) to existing comparable aircraft, and its sensors and situational awareness are leaps and bounds better than anything that is currently operational. Also I'm not that original Anon.
>>345477568
>ruining the sexiest aircraft design by making it edgy and tacticool
Whyyyyyyyyyy
>>345494015
wasd only using the b1b as an example of a high loiterer bomb taxi having similar effect on morale. If you need something the get low and tingle your mens ball hair you might aswell use a super tucano or literally anything less out of date and lacking replacements than the fairchild a-10
Never knew so many aviation and air warfare experts browsed /v/.
>>345494250
also as a note im only talking about coin which is the only use the a-10 has anymore tbqh. full modern airwar they would get nailed by surface to air missiles fast thesedays
>>345494250
Trust me, there's nothing like getting support from an A-10. Seeing it coming in low, seeing a treeline or house get reduced to dust, and hearing the BRRRRRRT is almost magical. Granted it's no different than standing around and having an F-16 drop a payload on the building from high up, same results different method. But it really is something else. I'd say it's kind of like the M240 of planes. It's old. There's better shit out there. But something about a big bulky bastard that dishes out metal hate in a special way is keeping it around

>>345494250
They don't need to be replaced, anon. Saying oh well this aircraft is 1 million dollars less to acquire denies the fact that we've already acquired the A10 fleet. Yes, if we were losing them we'd have a problem, but we're not. I don't know what the cost of maintenance is, though. That might make a huge difference. The US can probably manage without, though.
>>345494780
Something something prepare today for the war tomorrow
>>345493840
The A-10 was designed for low speed, so it has far better maneuverability at its ideal speed than supersonic fighters/multirole aircraft trying to fly at low speed. Look up corner speed. An A-10 will outturn an F-15, 16, 18 or most other aircraft at low speed.
And you can't do CAS at mach 1.5 since you will breeze past the target before you can even look at it closely.
The A-10 also doesn't give a fuck about manpads, because of its high engine placement and wings covering it from below, flares are far more effective if it gets fired upon since the missile usually won't have a clear target on the engines. And even if it gets hit, it can limp home with half a wing blown away.
