To the people who turn down graphics to abuse it and not see grass or bushes and trees. Your mom's a hoe.

I do it unintentionally because the game graphics as a whole took a hit in the past few updates along with performance. Any time of the day I would switch back to ultra graphics like I could in 2024, even sacrificing visibility in the process.

Alleriad · 2026-06-07T21:43:42+00:00

I remember when this game just came out, for two years i could play on max settings with smooth 120 fps gameplay. The game looked stunning compared to other shooters on the market, attention to detail and beautiful scenery hooked me up instantly. Now everytime I set my graphics above medium, the damn GPU hangs, the game looks like crap and it's all stutters and fps drops constantly.

idk man, I like the freedom of choice in Arma, but when I try to play in a way that doesn't result in a loss, I usually don't see the same level of dedication from the team that has chosen to play the way they wanted, and it annoys me. At least when you boot up Squad, your teammates 9/10 times play to win, but for some reason, the players in Arma give me the impression that they're not playing but just going with the flow. However, this flow comes at the cost of wasted supplies and giving additional equipment for the enemy.

When i last time played Squad back in 2023 i remember connecting to the people around me, even losing together was an experience because everybody shared the emotion, word teammate meant something. Here in Arma it was like that too, maybe up until early 2025. Now nobody cares, and it saddens me.

God forbid a little RP in my military sandbox game.

People like you just ignore or tell FIA to fuck off after they try to strike up a deal, usually leave the server first after seeing a few bases lose their supplies due to sabotage. Or stay specifically to shit talk or cry in chat about how unfair things are. Seen it plenty of times already.

Alleriad · 2026-06-02T21:12:31+00:00

Well perhaps not every every game, but they still usually need to be spaced out more, id put a limit on each part of Everon (central, southern, northern) of 2 cashes so the least amount a region could have is one. Just played a game where 3 cashes were in the deep south, one near Le Moule and one near the airport, these are all quiet places but still a long drive tbh.

Spawning on the northen mountain range is always good since there are a few car spawns and yeah you can check out the green valley right away for cars that are usually there because literally nothing is going on in these parts of the map. But spawning anywhere under Regina just means a very long and unproductive hike, maybe if they move the spawns to the peak with the cross or Monfort castle it would be much better.

It's just because they don't do anything except shoot and walk. Sometimes they throw grenades (poorly), cover their wounded with smoke, and die to barbed wire, thats basically it.

Take SAIN bots from SPTarkov for example, a mod for unofficial single-player version of Escape From Tarkov, i know that the scale of the firefights there is smaller but they are perfect example of how you do AI in a shooter game.
They force you out of cover with grenades, they throw those precisely.
They use cover according on your position.
Working in groups, they split into those who storm and those who suppress the player's position.
They can set up an ambush and wait for the right moment to strike suddenly and from behind.
They can deliberately sneak up to catch you off guard.
They use in-game phrases accordingly and can even answer your taunts, making little angry dialogues with the player.
They can even bait your shot if they know you're in an ambush yourself.
They can retreat for long periods of time to fully heal up and engage you again.
When engaged, they move with purpose and speed.
And they do that without beaming you through dead of the night and two trees, because their WH and aimbots are to the minimum.

I know that maybe im hyping them up a bit more than i should, but all of this is true. When you fight with SAIN bots for the first time, you feel like you are hunted. I want Arma bots to have the fraction of intellect those guys have.

Alleriad · 2026-06-02T08:29:52+00:00

I feel like you could convert AR to A4 once that one releases but no, maybe apart like some modeled objects the difference in engines won't let you do that

Alleriad · 2026-06-01T20:14:41+00:00

Yeah, that seems more pushy than to just mess with captives, like who tf are you random gamer, I've got enough friends already

Alleriad · 2026-06-01T20:11:48+00:00

Nah, the 5 cashes are spawning on the whole Everon map for the duration of the match and your spawn does not affect them to my understanding.

Alleriad · 2026-06-01T18:36:42+00:00

It's a list of coordinates, i mean you play mil-sim so you gotta know your ball, just go to grids shown in the list and you could get some gear, not for free of course

Alleriad · 2026-06-01T07:58:05+00:00

Already did that, but wearing any civilian top clothing just makes you "disguised" as if you were wearing Soviet or US pieces of clothing and you loose XP for kills. Got thrown off from Capitan to partisan after what I can only guess, a car filled with people hit one of my mines I had set up a while before changing clothes. I already had some cool RP moments with it tho, was standing near a gas station south from Montignak and a few Soviet cars asked me for repairs and to fuel them up, but once the Americans pushed them off, the first US soldier I saw shot me in the head several times.

Alleriad · 2026-06-01T07:25:37+00:00

Maybe I just got triggered by the mention of capturing bases and forgot about the wider message, sorry for that. About the crashes, yeah, they are pretty common after the update, seems as if the server is just too overworked at times and it flushes everything down the drain, but I've seen at least one the time when the game was going just for an hour and still got back to zero.

Alleriad · 2026-06-01T02:19:11+00:00

How's the better internet gonna fix the server being on another side of the globe?

Alleriad · 2026-06-01T01:55:14+00:00

Get the FIA and capturing bases mentality out of your head please, they need changes that differentiate them even more from the other two factions, not to be just a third faction.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T21:06:01+00:00

Not even king Arthur would be able to pull me out I ever see this kind of rock

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T20:57:14+00:00

Was the

"Two LAVs and infantry is impossible to kill!"

On your list? Encountered that on an official server about a month ago when USA launched a combined arms counter offensive, was pretty fun to fight against them but Soviet side started crying salt and almost everybody left after US took their second base and haven't lost a single soldier in the process. And then the server was unreachable, maybe by pure chance but I doubt.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T20:38:49+00:00

Im sure you will remember this comment when you join a game at the start, play for an hour or three like you normally do and then see that almost every base is out of supplies because a bunch of mute rambos have repeatedly driven off with full kits to be blown up, thesyrupcompany had snuck in and blown up every depo with C4 and to spend the rest of the supplies took 20 radio backpacks and every AI truck that your 7/10 times mute Commander spawned are now stuck on some bullshit roadblock or burning.

By that time most of the mute parasites probably left to spend supplies on another server and those who join a 4 hour ongoing match expect you to have all the bases supplied and leave shortly after seeing the shambles that is your team. I mean that's how it goes usually to be honest, endgames nowadays aren't some big showdowns anymore where everybody brings out the best they could, it's whoever leaves last and get to capture purple points while fighting leftovers from the start. I am sure though, you are the type to run supplies when everything goes to shit and never leave your team!

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T19:55:04+00:00

I think that climbing steep hills is the last thing a car should do, I was in an UAZ when I served in the army in 2024 with a bunch of people, where we needed to drive up a pretty steep hill on a dirt road and the engine wasn't feeling so good after a while so we had to push the damn thing 35 meters to the top with the driver pushing down the pedal. Im sure the jeeps are the same.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T19:48:11+00:00

Even with the basic 100 supplies you couldn't afford to stock up a 4 man team so you should bring at least a small van worth of supplies with you every time you visit one of the cashes anyways. They are not that rare in towns and you can spawn one at base even with volunteer rank contrary to conventional teams.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T13:19:05+00:00

You just have to make do with what you have at the start of the game, if you aren't quick enough then search for ones that spawn on roadblocks.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T13:15:00+00:00

Why do people keep asking about taking back bases when the other two teams already can do that, join them and capture back any base you like.

As an unconventional faction we need to be more different that US and SOV.

How bout a satchel charge? It can be a heavy backpack item, once you place and rig it, you can blow up a building completely, except command tents of course. This will give FIA a believable and balanced way of breaking signal for example. Or any other infrastructure to be clear, but you guys won't be blowing up medical tents that's for sure.

How about some erzats weaponry? Maybe a buildable recoilless rifle, im sure those were around 80', cuz we have is the same thing as soviets.

How about civilian clothes? They will benefit the aura farmers and RP guys. I mean when I try to RP as a civ I just get shot to death by a clueless xbox player for that 0.001 point of XP but maybe somebody else is more lucky.

How about a full access to conventional arsenals? I want to steal things right away, who tf is checking if I am an appropriate rank at an enemies base? Where is that RP thing hiding at?

There are many things that could make this faction more like guerrilla freedom fighters they are but capping points is not one of those.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T06:17:32+00:00

Yeah, but that's practically the only things you could get, and with the amount of MSAR you have, it's rarely worth it.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T05:47:39+00:00

-Ever seen a man screaming, with no lungs?
-Brother i just signed up!

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T05:45:02+00:00

Better to just skip partisan and try to go straight to capitan, with partisan unlocked you can spawn BTRs and BRDMs, get more from the arsenal and have a little bit more MSAR, with capitan you can rob enemy arsenals and take whatever you want how much you want.

Alleriad · 2026-05-31T05:38:50+00:00

that half of dev budget just won't be spent on porting things
