BIG ARMA GAME *UPDATED* - START TODAY 19:30

Shaydee, while you're doubtful of my tank driving (t**t), I absolutely love flying on Arma and take delicate f*****g care not to f**k up.

Do not worry. If I get the JTAC position I will use my discretion.
Also two radios are going to be needed Delta. A 148 for communications with the squad leaders and a 117 for the pilots. Maybe a 343 as well.

yep, everyone has a 343, SL's and 2IC's have a 148 and a 117 (i suggest 2IC's turn them off or really low unless they have to take over the squad).

Date wise I'm really thinking next weekend or weekend after that.

Chinook can use cargo ropes but we can also load the zodiacs straight into the bays which is cooler and doesn't require a loady

FA18's have multiple loadout options that can be configured via an interaction menu:

"- User Interface - “Service Menu” This function is built in to give user/mission maker easy and convenient way to change load-outs, repair aircraft, refuel aircraft and apply custom paint schemes during the mission. This function is activated via action menu and it becomes available once aircraft is at full stop and near USS Nimitz deck, or any US reammo truck, or any in game Hangar."

"Initially creating just MULTIROLE load-out proved not really suiting all possible mission designer needs, so additional purpose built load out’s have been added. There are nine possible load out presets for both versions of aircraft. By default if you are using ARMA 2 CO vanilla game aircraft will be equipped with MULTIROLE load out. In case of GLT_MissileBox installed, aircraft will be equipped with special purpose load out – TFB MULTIROLE, which has proven to be most effective in MP/COOP missions.
- MULTIROLE load out is a general all weapons type mix, to give aircraft capability to react and engage in any possible mission.
- AIR to AIR load out is a pure dog-fighting scenario built, and has an external fuel capacity added.
- AIR to AIR 2 load out is also built for CAP missions but external fuel and range is sacrificed to carry more firepower.
- AIR to GROUND load out is a CAS mission scenario choice with laser guided bombs.
- AIR to GROUND 2 load out is a CAS mission scenario choice with laser unguided bombs.
- BOMBS ONLY load out is a mixture of bombs for heavy CAS mission scenarios.
- ANTI SHIP load out is designed to clearly intercept hostile vessels in close proximity of aircraft carrier
- AERIAL REFUELING CAPABILITY “BUDDY POD” load out is available only for F version of FA18, and it has five external fuel tanks and capability to share this fuel with squad to increase mission range.
- TFB MULTIROLE load out is a purpose built for mostly CAS missions in MP environment with mixture of bombs and missiles and utilizes maximal aircraft payload capabilities."

Why both a 117 AND 148? They're on the same net and can talk to each other.

I think he meant 2IC carry a 148 and SL 117?

If I understand this correctly, the idea is that the 148 can be used exclusively for squad to squad comms and the 117 and be used for Transport/CAS. It is much quicker to switch radios than to switch channels in combat.

Aw tits, I've got to learn radio stuff? This'll be fun.

can give you a lesson if needed, smart. takes us 30min, not more

for some reason the service menu no longer comes up on my screen when I play my mission..

Depending on your role smarty you'll only need to learn 1 radio (343, inner squad comms). If you go CAS or SL or whatever you'll probaply need to learn 117 or 148 etc.

If there's still a spot free I'll take it. I should have all the ACE + ACRE stuff reinstalled by the time a date is set.

Going to be doing trans Kerr

You'll probaply be using the 117 of the trans vehicle. That one isn't too difficult

little bit *read very* pissed but yeah, 343 = inter squad comms, 148 = squad to squad comms 117 = squad to trans/cas comms so smartiez you only really need the 117.

The reasoning between having a 117 and a 148 is that the 117 has a larger range and is also a backpack so 2 birds 1 stone. Still need a SL and all of Charlie squad.

Also does anyone know if a SL can access HuntIR rounds fired by someone else in the sq. There is a demo guy with a 203 so wondering if i should add them or not.

Good night I'm off to sleep cos i'm pretty fucked.

Possibly too much interference when things get hectic. Personally, I like the channels to be more specialized. This way there will be less people vying to relay information. But still have the people who are the communication nodes get the information they need. Also you have the ability to lower or mute one radio over the other for better communication between two people. Ah well, I am not the CO for the mission.

You should know this by now Xasper. *Jokingly*

because when people are talking to CAS and trans the other squads (who might be in contact) don't have to listen to it, plus the 117 comes as a handy ace backpack.

My idea for comms is:

Individual squads on individual 343 frequencies

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Sniper squads on 148 net on a freq so they can talk without cross chatter from CAS/Trans (who if they are bored can listen in I guess)

CAS and trans on 117 on second frequency.

I find it easier to quickly switch between radios in combat than to switch channels. Plus the follow up combined ops mission after this one will require 117s and 148s so for continuation sakes

what's up with all these freaking radioes?

its 3:

1 for squad members

1 for inf squads

117 as i needed a backpack anyway, people can not use it if they don't want to, it is personal preference.

and where in gods name can I find the key bindings for all these radioes mr. Delta?

The guy filming makes a few mistakes, mainly in the last part with the 117, but you get the gist of it all.

And they have more info on comms and other stuff here

I am happy all that is still in my head

The infantry element will be UK forces and the CAS will be American, right? Also, will we be using the AH-1W or AH-1Z?

yes, don't know which one (what is the difference?)

you thought of any dates yet del

not yet, have been busy, won't finish map until next week now so stand by from next weekend onwards.

AH-1W: On top of the chain gun, it's capable of carrying varying assortments of eight TOW missiles, eight AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, and two Hydra rocket pods (14 rockets). The AGM-114s are AGM-114K (laser guided).

AH-1Z: Can carry two configurations (both have the chain gun). The first has sixteen AGM-114Ks and two Sidewinder missiles, while the second brings only eight Hellfires with two Hydra rocket pods (38 rockets) and two Sidewinder missiles.

Basically the AH-1Z has more power and carries more to the fight. If you are going for realism then I wouldn't recommend including them as there aren't as many in service as the AH-1W.

Where are the F-18's located? I can't find them.

read earlier posts player_1 who ever you are.

Hey if there's any spaces still left I'd be up for this, however I won't be able to play till June time...and this would be my first event so put me in a position where I have no responsibilities!

Thanks for the info G. It's all sorted now.

Hey sug, will grab you in ts and have a chat, this won't be happening until next weekend earliest - i need to finish the mission, bug check it and sort it out

Provisional Dates are 2nd June / 9th June

Will this be a night mission?

both sundays, both cool for me BRING IT ON!!!!

yes a night mission

Sorry dude I just noticed that my question was in the main post. What will happen if there isn't a fourth pilot for CAS?

there are single seat F/A-18s and dual seat, if we only have 3/4 cas ppl then we can do 1 single seater and 1 double seater.

I'm game. Can do 2nd/9th.

Happy to do SL/2IC/Medic (does the mission use ACE medical?)

cool, will update 2mo haven't slept in 2 days so can't think

I am only available on the 9th. The 2nd I have a job interview in Germany.

Delta, do you have any updates on the mission? Is it looking like it will be ready for the 9th, or later?

Will be ready for the 9th, but I might be at work. This all depends on us not getting DDOS'd and me having access to load the files onto the server.

Not sure if I will be available on the 9th. I might be with a spot of luck.

im in if its 8,9 or 10

9th it is, I reckon the mission will take anywhere between 45mins to 1.5 hours to complete. So start time of 19:30-20:00 GMT+1 (British Summer Time).

Will upload the files to the server asap and check the mission for any bugs.

Happy days I'm in then how ever I will have to go about 9/9:30 but should be alright for an hour or so

Sadly my internet connection is absolute sheite. They've build a new section to the school across the street and it's right in the way of my wireless connection.

I'm sorry but I won't be able to play until I move out some time later this month.

im in...ermm, when and where? and what do I need?(im lazy to go thru 4 pages)
Its arma 2 , right? here

You need to install ACE & ACRE

Don't forget to update ASAP people, or else we'll have a lot of delay

Everything you need is in the first post on the first page

Ok so if xasper can't play then i need a new SL asap please guys.

Chris it might have to be you and we might have to sack off the sniper team idea for the moment.

Also please see list in first post to check you are in a squad. If I have missed anyone then let me know asap.
