And this channel is the very reason my Arma 3 replayability experience never gets tiring (I mix mods recommended from this channel for singleplayer scenarios)
For blood effects I use WBK Simple Blood, Some Effects Rework: Blood Impact, and Barotrauma. Blood Impact adds small chucks of the body when shot, and when blown up by a grenade, rocket, 20mm, tank round... Barotrauma will make it that your body parts go flying everywhere, torso, legs, arms, etc. Barotrauma also has a setting that when shot you explode into a mist of blood, it's called Doom mode or something of that sort. 👍🏻 Also Death and Hit reactions are a good choice for ragdolls and [MSD] Over The Shoulder Third Person is a good alternative to Ghost Recon Third Person. Project injury Reaction (PiR) is a good alternative to ace medical. Aaren's Blast Effects is a good pair with Blastcore Murr Edited. RHS Plus is better RHS. 👍🏻👍🏻
looks great!! we just need some good servers to play on, setting all this up ourselves takes too long when you're new when we just wanna junp on and pewpew 😀 thanks for the guides
Man, I love your videos, I have been watching them for years. Me and my brother both use a lot of your suggested mods on our server. I even use some of the mods to make cinematic shots. Keep the amazing videos coming!
This video plus the performance one are gold. I agree with your advice of playing unmoded first... but maybe add the hiding in grass pretty soon because if gets frustrating really fast.
The ArmA 3 Aegis Development Branch has an M240/FN MAG, and as I recall Jamie has a patch to fix the way you carry it, pair that with Exped Forces and have a good one.
The nuke mod recommendation came outta nowhere, lol. Webknight is an actual wizard with his mods, I love them so much. I personally prefer Blastcore over other VFX improvements but I cannot deny that it does eat what little FPS I do get in Arma3
It depends on what you're going for. Want more realistic? Go with Ragdoll VTN. Want a little more fluidity to the deaths, then Isky's. There's also Real Hero Ragdoll Mod and Ragdoll Physics Plus+ that are a little more arcady but also very fun.
Im green to any pc anything so I love arma n love how I don’t have to pay subscriptions to play one n two is dope being able to learn how to code n mod n month in
Cool list, the AI avoids prone is kinda weird to be included though, it makes the game so much easier and imo i would even say less immersive/authentic/whatever as it makes ai a lot more suicidal
I suggest using VTN Ragdoll instead of Isky's. Also, since this is for new players - they most likely have some AI mod installed, like Lambs, VCOM, or whatever. AI Avoids Prone is incompatible with any of them so that should've probably been said. Good video otherwise
could you also do a mod showcase for new or rookie players tryna play the campaign with mods. finished main campaign a year or two ago but kind of want enhancements with it now too.
Love all your content, my son and I want to play a scenario in arma 3 using the ac130 but have no idea to set that up. Is there a mod or mission that i could dload for this
Thank you, my friend! Hmm, tell me what kind of mission you'd like to play and maybe I can make one for you guys? Something simple like "take off from air base and destroy some targets?"
As always, nice vid mate. You killed me with "my dude climbs like old people fuck" 😂🤣 I have a couple of suggestions for your next mod list: Enhanced movement and Adjustable walk speed. I think you've maybe covered them before but they are great and I dare to say almost indispensable. Cheers from France!
Random question: Is there a way to adjust the aiming deadzone sensitivity? It seems to be separate from basic mouse sensitivity. I want to use it more but it's just so sensitive. That recoil mod is dope with aiming deadzone enabled.
Whoa hey, how do you get boxed aim like that in 4:00? Is that just camera perspective stuff or is there a mod which lets you aim semi independent of the camera?
Not a mod, actually part of the game! In your options, go to "Game Options," and under the General tab you'll see "Aiming Deadzone." By default I think its on zero, but I set mine to 50% which allows the weapon to move on screen before my body turns, making the game a little more realistic :)
@Viper1Zero Sick, thanks. I used to play a lot of Red Orchestra back in the day and that was the default mode of aiming and it stick with me ever since lol
Used to play Arma 3 back in the days, i played it a lot, but what killed it for me was desync, it was horrible, especially for long range engagements. I no longer see the need to play arma3 because of the Reforger, it improves everything. Even though it may lack the diversity, modded servers are the way to go. WCS are stable and they rock. 😎😎
Guys may I ask a question, so i intalled the SOG AI recently, and there are some missing animation, and the command wheel is missing as well. Is it because I don't ownt the prairie CDLC, or there are another reasons? Thank you
Game modes? If playing SP, I'd personally start with the training and campaign, then maybe do some showcase scenario missions, then try some online games (Warlords game mod is fantastic)
@@raidzwrld3144 I usually am in the 3Den Editor to get footage but sometimes I get footage in the campaign or MP with friends, just depends on the video :)
I have never seen the thermal vision have color like in 0:43 and 10:40 and I have that same a3 thermal improvement mod installed, what am I doing wrong?
The only thing I hate about that Hide Among the Grass is that message across the top, I was looking for a way to turn it off but didn't see it in the addons bit, any idea? I just reverted back to that "AI Cannot See Through Grass" mod till then.
There is only about 2-3 mods in this list that are worth it in my opinion and those are the sound mods. As far as some of the others like lambs rpg there is another mod called vcomai that does the same thing and much more. Ai will steal vehicles rpg infantry. Strategically move and so on. A mod that was missed in this list would be enhanced movement. Making vaulting over walls so nice. There are many more mods that are better for new players but I fill this list was not that. Also a good start to new players would be playing the game mode kind of the hill. Arma 3 is extremely better played with 3 or more people but king of the hill is easily done solo and learn the game as you progress.
Hey, sadly the Improved Grenades mod is extremely deprecated (it's not updated for the ACE armor changes) and makes many vehicles destroyable by small explosions or even flying fragments. It shouldn't be used as long as you don't want your MRAP to die from a small V-40.
@@Tunnelrat6666 If you create the server, yes. If you’re joining a random server then no. You’ll either have to run whatever modset they’re running or no mods. Just depends.
