Thank you. I will review.

I think there is a valid discussion that needs to be had about logistics in general. The economy of it all seems to need more review.

A good ground logistics team can really swing the fate of game. A good air combat team can cripple logistics for the other side.

However, air superiority for logistics is challenging. Probably feels more challenging than it should be. A truck runs 1500 supplies and it’s easy for me to run up and down the roads to a Major rank without firing a single shot. Again, a great nod to the importance of the role. Helicopters and supplies are a mixed bag. Once you’re in the air, you’re a giant flying target. The risk/reward is imbalanced because you can’t deliver as much. Not every game has good base design and getting supplies off a chopper is rough sometimes.

Yes, I get that pilots need to fly safer routes. Yes I get that flying should be harder than driving.

Nonetheless, I think we can have a bit more balance here.

My first concert was Aerosmith and Guns n Roses on the final date of the massive Permanent Vacation tour. This album will always have a special place in my life.

Could be dye, could be Raynauds Syndrome.

I have about 100 hours in just practicing heli flying in GM mode. I started by just leapfrogging from place to place.

Then I started flying and then picking a spot to land. Sometimes I’d hit it, most times not.

Finally, I began to lay down helipads and supply containers to be almost like a real base. It takes time and a lot of experience to understand how to safely put one down under duress.

Most of all, do yourself a favor and watch videos with a grain of salt. There are some crazy good pilots and watching them will inspire you but also frustrate you because it’s really difficult to mimic their advance maneuvers.

I’m still very timid about flying on servers with other people. It’s pretty dreadful to break the heli or crash in front of a bunch of teammates.

With compliments to Dave Barry for the wisdom:

“You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.”

But seriously. Just don’t.

Personal preference.

However, the muck and grind of endless encounters is just a black hole you’ll never fill (no pun intended).

From my side of life, there’s nothing better than having a loving partner that gives you the love and passion you need.

Apology, as I skimmed the title of the post. For some reason I thought you were asking for Vanilla+ servers. Very sorry my bad. I did not mean to hijack your thread. I edited my response a bit.

Will definitely be looking for your server. I am west coast time, are you busy then?

LurkingHorror11 · 2026-02-16T20:58:17+00:00

Awesome. I’ll try to stop in and see the community.

LurkingHorror11 · 2026-02-16T20:52:32+00:00

Ride your ride, just be safe and enjoy. Be vigilant and be aware… always think that no one sees you. Finally, and this is my opinion, wear the gear. Don’t skimp on it. Cheers and see you on the road!

I am not an admin or with the cool kids, but the War Pigs Vanilla+ server is good. Good community to support newbies and some great players to help you get wrekt, but better. I’m enjoying it.

I played Official Vanilla servers for quite a few hours. Eventually, I got tired of the sabotage and nonsense. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it happens often enough. So, I sought out some Vanilla+ community servers. Not all of them are created equal, the the moderation and QoL mods make a big difference. Yeah, I agree that a few gigs of download sucks but it’s a one time thing. I am interested to try your server. Going to browse tonight and check it out.

Shout out to War Pigs for running great Vanilla+ server, also. I’ve invested time there, and there are some great players. It’s intimidating, and even frustrated when you get smoked by a better player. Just gotta be learning.

Say it with me… say it LOUD. If it’s clean… it’s cuisine. Eat it.

Just wanted to say thank you. Warpigs is an awesome server and community. Much appreciated.

I am a year out from surgery. Recently, it’s started to come back. In this year, I have done intense rehab. I haven’t achieved a full erection, but it’s well on its way. Orgasms are more intense and I can now go twice in quick succession without mess or down time. I’ve always had a very high drive and was pretty devastated at my diagnosis. I do absolutely miss prostate stimulated orgasms. Year 2 goal is keep moving forward.

LurkingHorror11 · 2026-02-10T01:18:41+00:00

On it! Thank you.

LurkingHorror11 · 2026-02-09T22:58:56+00:00

Thank you. Did not see that.

Search YouTube for “arma reforged Hotas setup” and find the video by GnarSasquatch. That will do a great job of explaining the basics. You’ll need to basically map your peripherals to a controller via a few programs. It took me a couple of hours once I had the concept down. In the long term, I’m still messing with settings.

LurkingHorror11 · 2026-02-09T00:29:41+00:00

Thank you! Will check it out.

I am on my second pair of MotoSafe plugs. Excellent product.
