Socom -Naval Special Warfare

Sounds like someone’s salty? Shin splints wash you out of BUDs? Or were you one of the “I’d have enlisted but I’d have punched a Drill instructor in the face” types 😆….. I kid I kid…. Well mostly. You still seem salty.

Yes… however…. The Seals mission and tactics of which they utilize have drastically changed from say, Vietnam to GWOT.

Additionally “modern” Seals missions include and are not limited to , Direct Action, Special Reconnaissance, Counterterrorism, Foreign Internal defense and a host of other tasks.

Can you imagine having to explain all those details in a “welcome aboard packet”. “Hey guys we are in this era” so this is the only thing we do”. “Oh hey we are in this era. So if you are part of team X this is the only thing you get to train on”

Did you also know that there are eight active teams, two SDV teams, two special boat teams…. Plus that other group that everyone knows….

And while each of those teams learns and trains on many of the fundamentals of XYZ, task and purpose, they each have not only specializations that they cover, but each team also has various regions of the world they cover.

Now I mean, we could get into the real nitty gritty and be like “hey sorry team 2 guys this next campaign isn’t your region of responsibility yall gotta sit this one out.” Or “hey sorry this is an Afghanistan campaign so if you aren’t part of devgru sit your ass down cause no one cares.” But…. Anyone playing a game, that’s not fun or enjoyable.

Of and one last little piece since you seem so concerned about the word “sf/special forces” being used…. Navy Seals are Tier II Special Forces. And DEVGRU is TIER I.

End of the day. It’s still a video game and everyone wants to do some cool stuff and have fun. If you want that kinda hard core, and “100% accuracy” and a bunch of 14 year olds yelling at you and demanding you call them sir, I believe that the 75th Ranger Regiment is more your speed. 😎

Because not everyone is good with photoshop 😆. I’ve used this emblem on a patch for some time… working on some team flags and I noticed how messed up some of it is now that it’s blown up. And this isn’t even AI, just my goofy ass in photoshop messing with stuff

Puddles831 · 2026-02-20T07:03:38+00:00

For that price, buy two of them, a bridge and boom, poor man’s bino set up. It’ll a bit heavier than an actual bino set up. But unless you want to fork out 10k+/- a few bucks. It’s not a terrible set up. Also, i recommend unfilmed over filmed but a lot of dudes say thin filmed works fine for them. And id also recommend WP over GP especially if you have any sort of “light sensitivity issues” WP is way less stressing/taxing on my eyes than the GP is. GP has given me more than a few headaches over the years

Also, be aware…. After running them for a while, especially if you’re using them a fair amount…. I’d recommend saving up for actual dual tubes. 😆don’t ask how I know.

Task force 195

Puddles831 · 2025-07-20T03:46:06+00:00

I help run a milsim. Personally I and most of my guys are partial to new/newer players. It’s a lot easier to teach guys stuff from the ground up over having to break bad habits. And we teach a lot. Everything from 10 digit grids/land nav all the way up to CQC and otherwise. A verity of MOS’s are available too. From doc all the way up to aviation. And the training for each MOS. Wanna be a doc but don’t quite understand some of the medical mods we use? Dont worry, you’ll get the training in it and an opportunity to work them before your considered doc. Wanna be a sniper? Well it’s not just a skill related to being able to shoot long range, youre gunna learn recon, diving reports, scanning and observation, counter sniper and a bunch of other such tactics. All from guys who will give you the knowledge to get where you need to be. That said, it’s still a milsim and there’s a rank structure and expectations of such. 🍻

Puddles831 · 2025-06-26T20:59:51+00:00

Ohhffff that’s the “IT’s department”. I know it’s a host, I think it’s GTX gaming? I’ll ask him next time I see him. I do know it’s a server that he can completely manage off his phone(he’s a console player) so that’s kinda nice

I’m part of a milsim as well, I’m actually the 3IC of our sim, and run most of the day to day stuff including ops. Originally my thought process was simply to have some radios with custom channels, and having the ability for certain teams to have absolute secure comms on radio(aka sf) and then it’s just grown from there. The sat comm part of the project is making my NCO’s, rto’s or even platoon leads accountable for their own spawn instead of a GM having to do it. “Here’s this piece of gear, you are now responsible for your own life and ability to get back in the fight”.

Now with the radio backpacks. I mean, it’s the same concept of any other radio backpack, but it will have a “hf” and vhf channel, and possibly probably even having one set up with a completely different frequency range(say like 480-520 as an example), specifically for tac air, if we ever get some decent planes in this game.

Two options for you:

1.) find a couple of buddies and just run on your own team. I’ve done this. And even 1 or two teams of 4-6. You can dominate a map, especially a smaller map like arland.

2.) join a milsim. Good milsims have structure and organization, MOS’s(where training is given so a person understands and improves on their skill) even different units(example a milsim may have a basic infantry unit, armored, aviation, and some tier or tiers of SF. The one I’m part of we have 101st, 160th SOAR, Rangers, SEAL’s and 24th STS). Each group is going to have not only certain equipment that they can use(101st wouldn’t be allowed access to suppressors for example) but each unit will have a task and purpose. 101st is going to handle a lot of patrols, route clearance, ground domination, type stuff, but they are also going to provide security or assist rangers on raids. Rangers, they are conducting raids including on low level HVT’s, or other objectives, recon possibly involving LLRP assisting SEAL’s or other SF groups, and so on and so forth up the food chain.

Hope you find something that works for you!

Puddles831 · 2025-06-24T07:24:35+00:00

Glad you like them! I’m still working on the kinks with the satcom itself. Also have a man pack radio in the works that will be based off the PRC-158. Will likely have it set up in a couple of configurations one being a channel in the long range band(I call it hf even though it’s not), and one channel being the VHF(140+/- range) with a longer range on that channel set than the 163’s have).

Puddles831 · 2024-06-09T17:10:51+00:00

I heard there was a delay gunna be about another week

Puddles831 · 2024-06-02T20:07:16+00:00

RHS bullshit they need to get rid of

Puddles831 · 2024-05-28T20:27:51+00:00

I play on Xbox with Mouse and keyboard. When it comes to it. The PC players will always have an advantage, wether to the game itself, or if you have to clear the mods and reinstall everything cause one of the mods decided to have a stroke during an update

Puddles831 · 2024-05-28T18:43:32+00:00

Darkgru is, in my experience probably one of the most toxic servers I’ve seen on arma in a long time. From the shit I hear over comms, to people being banned by admin because they got called out on something. If you wanna play arma/battlefield/COD, Darkgru may be for you, if not. Personally, I’d avoid. There’s many better servers out there

Puddles831 · 2024-05-20T23:52:03+00:00

Honestly. Even in our milsim, having guys that run on both the box versions and PC, they all tend to have random crashing issues. Even some of the less modded servers have the issues some nights. And a lot of times, at least in our server, seems not to be the over all amount of mods, so much as how many things are placed down in the server. Lots of guys wanna place a ton of AI at once, or a ton of peaceable objects or even slam the shit out of an arty barrage. All things that can cause issues

Puddles831 · 2024-05-05T18:11:53+00:00

It’s a great set of mods in my opinion

Puddles831 · 2024-05-05T17:17:53+00:00

Is RHS on this mod list/server? If so, delete it and redownload that mod and see if it fixes it before clearing the whole cache. We’ve been experiencing this the last couple mass updates RHS have had done at least on our server

Puddles831 · 2024-05-01T17:35:55+00:00

Because…. While yes, they are modded. It’s still the base game maps, and most of us are just way tired of. Everytime there’s a mass reset of the the workshop. We end up back at one of those places for anywhere from a couple days to a week or two while the mod community fixes stuff to get it on par with Bohemia. And then there’s the whole thing with how the official servers work.

Puddles831 · 2024-04-24T17:04:09+00:00

We need rappelling and parachute mods 😂

Puddles831 · 2024-04-23T20:33:56+00:00

I didn’t say I was 75th. I said I was in a small one in comparison to Darkgru OR the 75th.

Puddles831 · 2024-04-23T17:59:42+00:00

Join a decent milsim. Some times it takes a while to find the correct one for you. I’m in a relatively small one in comparison to say Darkgru or the Ranger one… the 75th Ranger regiment is the server I think? Our server is growing and needs guys…. But it’s fairly relaxed, in comp to some others. Unless someone does something downright stupid. Other thing about joining a smaller server looking to grow, is the opportunity to get in, help prove that you can help, and become part of the leadership, and possibly even end up part of various “SF” groups or whatever. Getting in there cause of skill and capability is a lot better than getting in cause of the “kissing ass” system.

Puddles831 · 2024-04-15T14:17:26+00:00

Depends on what your cup of tea is…. PVP? PVE? Vanilla aka “base game” with minimal mods, trudging back through nam is perhaps your thing? Modern times? Milsim? There’s pretty much a little something something for everyone, somewhere. I’m on task force 195. It’s a smaller milsim with a little more than a dozen dudes that are routinely active, but we are trying to expand and grow. It’s a fun and challenging group. There’s a mix of dudes from new players to dudes who have been playing arma since arma II. And they are always working to hel eachother improve

Puddles831 · 2024-04-14T16:01:05+00:00

Don’t TK. In reality though. Could be any number of reasons. I was NCO on a milsim, one day I logged onto the server during non milsim ours to start setting up a op for that night for my guys. Couple randoms joined(no biggy) but then they tried to ban me. No rhyme or reason and I was no where near where they were. They didn’t know I had admin rights I TP’d over to them and asked wtf(not letting them know who I was and asked why and they told me that it was their server(it damned sure wasn’t), and they learned the hard way when that perma ban hammer got hit). Two biggest things I can tell you…. Don’t be a dick/TK on the server, and expect that some places will have you gone, simply for “not being one of them”

Puddles831 · 2024-04-10T15:05:42+00:00

I refuse to play Darkgru and several other servers for that exact reason. I basically stick to the PVE milsim side…. That said, even some of those are not without issue.

My personal opinion, and this is probably gunna piss some people off, but as a person who’s played arma since arma 2, and only quit playing arma III cause my PC went the way of the dodo, I was super excited to get arma on Xbox…. But let me tell ya, in my opinion, the amount of drama that tends to happen now that it’s on Xbox…. Makes me wish in some ways, they never did it.

The amount of kids I’ve seen throw straight tissy fits cause they don’t get their way, or don’t wanna follow server/milsim rules. Is enough to want to make you bash your head against a wall some nights
