hello Drewski!
Did he say Tanks for watching at the end?!!😂
*depression intensifies*
Dis DLC gonna be so metal. They even got Marlyn Mandson in their programming team :D
ARMA IS LOVE
you cant meme twice like that better luck next time
oh boi.. here it comes!!! cant wait!!
my god.. the MAAWS MK4.....
I have a feeling some are going to be feautered as Jets DLC in one of your vid's one day. :D
Cant wait for that sweet Carl Gustaf!
and its free! *alongside other assets* this DLC is turning out to be a great one, especially since the AAF finally have some arty
Hooray for the glorious AAF Blyatmobiles.
made by Sweden
Interesting, looking forward to driving these around and blowing stuff up
im glad that arma allows you to see the internals of the tank unlike other games. nice content btw
*Bohemia has a fucking tank in their back garden*
Ever since the late 90s! I remember how back then when they were presenting Operation Flashpoint, they rolled in with a fucking tank and one the CEO's (not sure if Marek or Ondřej) stood on top of it in a soviet uniform, holding a BIS flag :D
That's the perk of living in a slav country like czech. Everyone there have a tank in their back yard.
But an outdated T-72 thou....
the tiny leopard got my thumbs up
CRCG Central Only little kids are Wehraboos.
it is a cute little wiesel
What does the Wehrmacht have to do with absolutely anything here?
+AlecW11 just some warthunder kiddo that complains. nothing more
Nothing has to do with Wehrmacht. It has to do with Bundeswehr, bro....a large difference. It is btw. a Wiesel, which is what the op wanted probably say.
"tanks for watching" ;)
Yeah :D
Took me a while to get it, because I still saw "Thanks" :D
have to love the irritating look and brush of the sleeve at 14:34
"eat's chips over his shoulder"
This looks to be a great piece of dlc which adds so many options to the vanilla Arma experience. For free, all factions now have an unguided light tank launcher (m4 MAAWS, RPG 42 and RPG 7), a medium guided anti tank launcher (PCML and Vorona) and a heavy anti tank launcher (Titan) plus a MANPAD. All factions how have AT variant light vehicles. That completes the infantry and light vehicle gameplay which is the real meat of Arma.
The premium vehicles add more asymmetric options to vanilla Arma than just adding more MBTs would. For a mission maker, being able to choose between the Rhino Tank Destroyer or the Slammer is a much more interesting decision than between the Slammer and a Abrams, for example. The Nyx variants provide options that weren't previously in vanilla - a passive only AA vic is an interesting mid point between the static AA launchers and the powerful radar guided systems currently available and the command and control variant will be a favourite of mission makers for sure. The T140 is actually the least interesting addition as it's just a slightly better T100.
All considered, Vanilla Arma now has a complete range of modern warfare gameplay options. All mods do is add flavour and authenticity.
Even if you don't buy the dlc, your Arma experience will be more interesting, with new weapons to use and new challenges to face.
Agree on most points, though I don't see much use for the Nyx. The Mora and Gorgon already wildly outperform it in AT and IFV duties, and since AAF's lost their near-monopoly on air-to-air combat, the radar Nyx comes a bit late. I would have much preferred a (manned) static AA position, each faction gets a radar variant of their truck, and AAF gets a vehicle that can fill a much-needed niche regardless of what variant you choose.
Agreed. Plus i don't really see the reason to add the Abrams. There are already a plattera of mods, which add Abrams varriants and thh. i think that the Abrams is overused, it is pretty much present in every game, which has something to do with tanks and i am getting a little tired of it. Adding it in Arma3 would be a little boring imo. I like that the devs instead decided to implement a few vehicles which are lesser known to the puplic.
pokefan548 static AA emplacements were introduced with Jets DLC. I agree with a lot of what you say about her nyx though, especially as all of the weapons options could be very easily mounted on the strider. It is , cuter than the strider tho
i love all this but to be honest it kinda saddens me that naval combat was quite neglected in arma 3 and the only way of truly strengthning it is with mods,couldnt they work on a... ships dlc? i mean i know game development is everything but easy but it would be so good...
It would be nice. New units for the Navy such as battle ships, scout ships and upgraded variants of assault boats. As well as some civilian cargo ships and cruise ships. This would be great for use on Tanoa. There are some maps made by the community that this would be great for too. I love what I see with the Tanks DLC, it looks great. But I am quite disappointed that this is the last official DLC and that there was / is no Ships DLC. I also had hopes for a winter / snow themed expansion pack at one time but I know it won't happen. At least not as an official DLC.
NO NO NO! No more DLCs please. ArmA 3 is a really poorly optimised game. We really new a game, not DLCs.
From what I've seen, the engine really limits naval stuff. Arma 3 does not like water.
Bence Illes well, it's an old engine, poor optimisation is kind of expected
Naval combat? You mean shooting missiles at each other from distance +100km?
Start selling rc arma 3 tanks on the merch bistore for like 100 bucks I'd do it.
ya hopefully they get w taigen tanks and make some rc models.... ill totally buy for 120ish
I have this cool M-48 tank with spotlight and sounds when you turn it on it starts up with the cranking noise and the cool part its main gun moves back as if you fired a real one plus it has a air soft barrel cam with two targets and not bad for a remote control it would of cost me $125.00 but it was a very cool customer who owns a hobby store and sent this to me for free I fixed his air conditioner and saved him a lot of money the other tech wanted about $1200.00 more than what I charged.
Thank you Bohemia for supporting Arma 3 community and thank you community for releasing huge amount of wonderful free content. Good luck with Arma 4 Bohemia, all of us are looking for it eagerly! Hopefully you will stick with the present day and 2020s. You bought the licenses for real world weaponry and vehicles in Arma 2 and now you're bigger and wealthier than ever, so you definitely have resources to buy licenses for those this time, utilizing your previous great work from previous years!
Since Operation Flash Point To Arma 3 and all DLC ! I travel the world with my wife and my Mobile Pc just for Arma 3. Its awesome being such a big Fan, Huge appreciation for all you do and keeping the Arma Communities alive and well. And regards to the favourite Arma 3 youtube Hosts.
While I don't think any developer is perfect,and I have my own issues with BI. They are still one of the best developers put there. Thank you for this awesome game!
BULLSHIT ONE OF THE BEST LOL ARE YOU ON DRUGS LOL
Question, Does adding bags to the vehicles make their inventory larger?
If I had to take a wild guess, I would say no and that it's just for aesthetics.
No. Filled bags take as much inventory as if you'd fill the vehicles inventory without thw bags. But I personally prefer to have my different gadgets sorted in different bags.
That's not what he meant, he was talking about the backpacks and other bags that can be added on in the virtual garage as details.
Yankee Oh this... well sorry then.
Fauerfaust ATGM Missile.... This is so funny when you see/read this as a german. :D
14:36 Haha, "Get yo chips off me" amazing lmao
AzZaMaTr0n haha
Easter egg
i hope they add ammunition explosions and cook-offs, and well just more damageable areas and fx for vics
You seem to forget that ace mod exists
I hoped that we would get more than 1 actual tank...
tanks for watching :D
Nice Keep at it Guys! Bohemia you are the only company I can tell this to:
I can't wait for your the next DLC!
Navy (Submarines and Ships)
Special Forces(Knife Kills, Stealth System, Rappelling, Climbing, Flash bangs, Gas and Masks)
High Command(Satellite View, Chain of Command and AI Strategy Elements, Intelligence, Saboteurs and Infiltrators)
Defcon(Dedicated Bombers, SCUDs, Mini-Nukes)
DLC's
They would all be awesome!
Dear Arma devs, my body is ready.
Interior view update is very very welcome ;)))))))))))))))))))))))))
One of the most difficult things to master in the game is the 4x4 technical pickup with the 12.7 atop, especially in mayhem situations like King of the Hill offers. Most people just drive into the AO and gets mowed down immediately. It requires a bit more cunning to use it effectively, however, but when you figure it out, it's quite a deadly little thing, actually.
And now instead of a 12.7 mm that 4x4 (and the MB 4WD introduced in Apex) can have a 73 mm recoilless gun...
Probably a dumb question but the ERA is going to be made functional on the M2A4 slammer UP right?
I am a simple person, I see a Bohemia dev diary, I click in.
nice.
looking forward to the new DLC.
I'm looking forward to the new ArmA title. Arma 3 is old, the engine is old, tonns of optimalisation problems. The community does not want DLCs, they want a new game.
Few weeks I have now enjoyed from the DLC. And it really changed the possibilities of the ARMA 3.
I have one thing that I want to see BIS to release and that is "Anti-Air DLC" for Anti-Air purposes. We need a couple dedicated SAM systems like a "9K77 дуб (Dub, Oak)" aka "SA-31" that would be similar to a KUB/BUK systems and paired with it something from NATO side.
Such systems with nice interiors, radar screens, TV/FLIR cameras with 50-100x magnifications etc etc. Just to ruin the pilots day :D
my real question is will i be able to edit vehicels in zues now? concidering that for some senarios that us in the Zues community like is to have active missions with verying vehicel camos and types but the Eden editor at times can severly mess up servers if people dont own , Apex, Laws of war or Tac ops so to make due we useually substiue vehicels with civi verients of AAF and CSAT (for FIA baised campighns) but im really looking forward to the AAF nyx becuse it means now i dont need to cover an AO with AA troops :D
I can't wait to play this!
The Wiesel !!!!!!!!!
I love you guys. I considere it to be utterly amazing how long youve supported arma 3 and how frequently youve released free plattform updates. You guys are some of the best if not the single best dev team outthere. Im looking foreward to Arma 4 or future content updates to arma 3
Bohemia, a good idea I have thought of is to add a roof mounted 7.62mm machine gun for the commander in the Nyx recon variant. So when the commander turns out of his hatch he can use the gun, this can give it atleast some sort of protection. Or even a 5.56mm MG could do well. Also it would be cool to have an 7.62mm MG on the top of the turret of the Marshall for the commander.
A FCKING WIESEL! OMG LOVE U SO MUCH!
Was hyped for a Leopard 2 because of the RC tank still not disappointed
Torben AAF is like the bundeswehr.
-the leopard tank is the vanilla AAF tank
-Stryder
-this new scouting tank (forgot the name)
the aaf mbt is a leopard 2
dafrandle I changed my opinion. It looks more like a MBT Revolution, which is also produced by Rheinmetall
Loquas that's because it is, look at it on the armed assault wiki
This will be a great update!
I'm already looking forward to Arma 4 (with a new engine!?)
And native VR support plz!!!
It was confirmed it will be using Enfusion already. So yay better performance on all systems!
As for VR support. They should really try as hard as they can to fully support it.
they will probably give a barebone game like arma 3 vanilla and then start putting content through paid dlcs
Probably. But:
Modders added all previous ARMA content (I & II) to III as free content, to be downloaded via the workshop (CUP mod). So, even in the worst of cases, ARMA IV (assuming it will still support mods as well as III does) will quickly become a compilation of previous content on a modern (Enfusion) engine - pretty much what we need! Then, olds mods will be ported, new ones will be developed, and DLC will be offered for purchase.
Yes the dayz sa fans gave them the money to make arma 4 engine.
One thing that has always seemed to lack is the emersion with vehicles. 1-second with a boring pseudo animation to get in a vehicle, 1-second startup with a click of a button. Press "F" to change weapons cyclically. A static map in the cockpit/in-vehicle view. It would be nice if you had to climb the tank/vehicle to get in, open a door get in, sit down, shut the door, turn the ignition [or startup sequence for more complex vehicles] seeing your character take a hand off the controls for 1 moment to press the button that you had to manually find by using free look inside the vehicle. Bohemia has done everything right so far it would be nice to have some details added in.
That's going outside the need for ARMA. It would be too drastic a change compared to other simulation aspects of the game unless they were all updated. Full on simulators are designed specifically for these kinds of systems. I'd imagine Steel Beasts has exactly the features you want, if you are looking for air combat there is obviously DCS too but I was in the same viewpoint once. After time though I realised ARMA has it just right, while a lot of things could benefit from change I think they've struck a good balance.
Khaos I would agree it's a good balance. It would be nice how we, to have a little more than just pressing a key to turn on a vehicle. It might not have to be as in depth as DCS or other sims but even just a little more for variety sake would be refreshing.
Fair point, I'm glad tank interiors are finally coming as that will no doubt make the experience a lot more refreshing and enjoyable especially from the driver side finally!
There could be a beginner or advanced mode maybe. There's one for the flight model. Who knows... it would be neat to see though.
That would be a good compromise similar to what GTA5 did with air vehicles. It's probably just because it takes time to do said animations is why it hasn't been done. Who knows as there are rumors of ARMA 4 being in the works who knows what we might see.
The end of this video had a hint of conclusion, like this is will definitely be the last content they'll add to A3. Just in case it is, I must thank the team(s) for all of the work they've put into ArmA III these past four years! It's been a great game, and a big improvement over ArmA II. Can't wait to see the next one!
Before you go away forever though, I hope we can be given the ability to hide those newer subtitles (the ones in the latest few single player campaigns) in the upcoming update.
What an amazing DLC
OMG that T-140 commander is a BEAST! Go T-14 Armata!
I was really hoping for greater depth in ammo, especially between HEAT and AP. 1) make a tank APFSDS-T round go through softer targets without destroying it, 2) make passengers and crew die of said projectiles (this is currently true for open vehicles (ex. Ifrit), not closed (ex. Marshall) 3) passenger/crew kill by HEAT without complete destruction of vehicle. 4) bigger HE rounds and mines can kill passengers (due to direct or interior fragmentation and blast) potentially setting MRAPs (ex. Hunter) apart from lesser protected vehicles like the Strider.
Bohemia Interactive, one of this few good Developers for long time games. You have make a lot of useful content with a low cost model for user. Your content is high replayable and your ArmA games are the best military games all the time. Your military technologys are the best working ones from all actual and older military games and is more fun to use it. Your gameplay are demanding and your military technologys are easy and fast to learn and play. Yor modding support and the modding community are greatfully.
Thanks for work for us and hopefully for a productive future.
Sooo Will you ever release the Mortar variant of the Nato Badger AFV that was in some of the early Arma 3 imagery? and OOOH how i wish the Armoured weapons carrier had the Mortar variant seriously it would be nice for the AAF to have SOME kinda Arty other then infantry motars?
Install a mod??
I seriously wish they'd just dump all the old prototype vehicles on the community so we could mod it back in ourselves. (Deleted reskins as well)
@BI
+1 and congrats on the feat!
Now let's get that new engine show on the road and pump out planet scale rendering :}
Painting enemy air from multiple vectors just got a tad easier. Can't wait!
Thanks for all the fun times BIS. Since 2001 and counting.
Here's to ARMA-4....
'create cheats - whaaaaaat'
Arma 3 = Burger and Cola meal
Free Platform Updates = Unlimited Cola Refill
Actual DLC = Fries
Apex = Chicken Sandwich
when Mcdonald & Bohemia are Friends
The only Tank in this dlc is the t-140. The addition of tracks does not make a vehicle a tank. That being said I’m glad they’re updating the armor platform altogether.
That "tanks for watching" line made me instantly like the video
АРМАТА T-14 - Nice))
Even the interior matches the real Armata
I wanted an abrams for NATO 😢
you can choose between CUP, RHS and Burnes Abrams.
aye but they are shite textured, handle lick piss, and dont use nice interiors and have crappy ways of using vision modes plus you cant use them on non modded servers
- - You’re not alone man… why didn’t they just decide to use the M1 Thumper prototype…
HabitableMango2 I mean, CUP has the only M60 Patton available for the US on the workshop right now… so for some they kinda gotta deal with it,
one question, will the viewports be able to be cracked by shooting them with bullets, it would be a cool feature.
Can we expect an expanded roadmap after this DLC? Or is all of Bohemia's effort going into Arma 4's development now? Thanks for everything you guys have done on this game, you've made a truly incredible experience, my most played game of all time.
I can't believe this is the last DLC. I've tracked the ongoing development of ArmA 3 for years and now that its coming to an end, I feel a just... Sad
Don't be sad. This just means that Arma 4 is coming.
I doubt that ArmA 4 is coming anytime soon
3-4 years
+Pigeonhead 4 is the bottom minimum, tho I think it will be way more due to Bohemia focusing on some other project
Please make explosions and particles prettier and more persistent. And add bullet holes or just more decals.
That would be so amazing. The game looks so good but these things always break the immersion for me.
Also the sounds are kinda cheap
dxxPacmanxxb JSRS + Blastcore, thank me later
Just to clarify something.
Is "Splendid" The internal codename for the Tanks DLC?
14:37 he had chips on his shoulder^^
Arma 3 + Squad = Most Realistic Millitary Game
you forgot rising storm..
Disables AWC NYX with a Type 115.
You say that as a joke, but a fucking 7.62 can destroy the treads in no time flat.
5:22
Yeah, pretty sure that's a sick joke on Jay's part. The treads are plastic and the hull is tinfoil. Pretty sure some of the MRAPs are sturdier against light arms fire.
"german engineering" we will see :)
It has only small arms protection, it isn't developed to be exposed to enemy fire. That's why it's callled a 'weapon carrier' and not a AFV.
What are exactly the Damage Model changes? Is it only the addition of addon armor, or does it goes deeper than that? (Like, literaly, until the depths of the armored vehicle)
Also, will/are armor penetration AND protection be modeled? Such as angling increasing the armor effectiveness, which can be the missing protection in order to stop the incoming attack. (Yeah, I am aware that MBT's side armor is pretty thin, so over angling is rather dangerous.)
nice! well i have to ask can we please get manual transmission for all vehicles please? it sucks so bad going uphill in large trucks because the auto transmission always puts it in a higher gear than what is needed.
Still no meaningful damage model update to ground vehicles. :(
Pehaps War Thunder spoiled me, but I really wished ARMA ateast made it so penetrating hits in certain areas can kill crew in vanilla tanks, and having a basic module system where only certain parts can blow up the tank if destroyed, as opposed to blowing up the entire tank because you managed to hit it more than once. (Even in areas where the ammo/fuel probably wasnt stored)
we feel your pain th-cam.com/video/8qyJtnAh8m0/w-d-xo.html
Soooo... The paid part of the "Tanks DLC" gets one tank, a tracked car and a "tank destroyer"... Where the fuck are the other 2 MBTs?
AAF already has a top of the line MBT and NATO would have to choose between an Abrams which there are plenty of mods for or a Challenger 2 which there is a mod for.
aye but the mods are pish when it comes to quality and dotn work nearly as well and usually come bundled with a lot of other crap, as well as them directly saying they would add 3 main battle tanks
Would of liked an Ariete or leclerc MBT... which there are not mods for.
TD’s do not count as Tank’s… they’re completely unarmored, already failing the description of a Tank. The Nyx is an APC, not a tank. Seriously? Bohemia wtf… I really wanted to see a realistic option get implemented, hell maybe even decide to put in the prototype M1 Thumper! That would’ve been so fun!
The TD has plenty of armor, somewhere within the range of the tracked IFVs, and the TD's are viable for their speed and the fact that they can be air-dropped, allowing them to quickly move to far-off objectives and island-hop. I too wish NATO got another MBT, but I'm pleased enough with the new TD. The Nyx is fucking trash tho, might as well have just given AAF a Tigris/Cheetah reskin, and given every faction a radar truck instead of that booty-ass Fisher Price car.
Opinions
T-140 Agarro - Might be a little overpowered and need some tuning but seems like something that will scare the shit out of players when clearing an area. (I can see some dumb zueses spawning swarms of these on players tho and that will suck)
Rhino MGS - A little disappointing but I think it will add a nice variable to battlefield especially when playing AGAINST NATO (like that ever happens) and will encourage more thought into tactics.
AWC Nyx - The AA variant will be wonderful for missions against the AAF making so that NATO or CSAT doesn't immediately have air superiority all the time. The AT and regular variant will be interesting twists in battle that could be used for supporting heavier vehicles. The Recon variant is a little strange and some people think it will be useless, I think there could be some interesting uses for. (The people that don't see a use for it are probably not looking at all the potential uses as a scouting vehicle or what is basically a heavily armored JTAC for arty or CAS.)
Overall, I'm looking forward to this update and can't wait for the straight week and a half of only tank ops in pub zeus.
Side Note: I know some people prefer modern times but I kinda like the "not very far in the future" setting and I want to see what happens after the single-player campaign.(If you haven't played it, you should, it can be frustrating at times but its got a really good story.)
You need to make a phone app that can log into the game and they can work the artillery fire missions in their friend's ongoing game. No one wants to sit back at base and wait to be given 1 or 2 fire missions the whole game. You could have screen shots messaged to you with the damage and frag count. They could be launching tomahawk missiles from a ship while they're really on the bus headed to work.
Just one main battle tank for one side? what kind of bullshit is this?? hope this DLC cost like $1.99 or less, any more is a ripoff.
This isn't a 'Tanks' DLC. It's a fucking 'Tank' DLC. A wheeled tank destroyer and a tiny recon tankette? What the fuck?
+Fubuki Hatsuyuki What were they suppose to add for NATO? There is literally nothing they could have added other than a Challenger 2, and for the amount of money it would cost the license that it simply wouldn't be worth it.
AAF already has an excellent MBT, and now that cage armor matters it is even better.
they could have aded an M1A3, and i think he is more pissed that rather than 3 tanks like was said was going ot be added all we got was one for a faction no one uses
+CRCG Central You can download a mod for the Abrams, and plenty of people use CSAT. Try playing game modes other than those co-op NATO missions.
Waldo They could’ve added the experimental M1 Thumper prototype without running into licensing issues… that thing was never fully produced so they wouldn’t have to license it…
plz optimize
Agreed but it's not worth tearing through the code and reworking it on ArmA 3. Better they focus on ArmA 4 and learn their lessons with better performance and (actual) AI.
fnadde42 they just need to upgrade their engine and run more on the gpu side since the game is very cpu intensive
Optimization is on-going. They have previously said that AFTER they have finished their new technology e.g. DayZ's Enfusion engine, they might start migrating Arma 3 to the new tech.
arma 4 is already announced , and it will have a new engine as they said
Arma 3 is not CPU intensive. It will use only one single thread, If you buy a 6 core i7-8700 it won't make a difference compared with a 4 core i3-8100. I't not even GPU intensive because with a GTX 1060 you will get the same FPS as a GTX 1080ti.
That's what I don't like about game developpers, instead of fixing current issues, they add new content...
Can't wait for Arma 4!
As a fan since Operation Flashpoint and a former tanker, I'm looking soooo forward for this DLC!
You know for a company that says it's really into tanks developing a DLC titled Tanks (plural) you guys don't really seem to understand the definition of a tank. So in this Tank(S) DLC. We get 1 MBT (hey look it has tank in the name) for a faction not a single clan plays as. An AWC which you could almost call a tankette for AAF. And an obscure wheeled tank destroyer. (you'll note this also has tank in the name but contrary to apparently popular belief it's not because it's a tank that destroys, it's because it destroys tanks.) Call me salty but for a professional official DLC titled TANKS I kind of expected actual tanks for each faction.
Instead we get....this. Good thing I talked myself out of buying the DLC bundle.
exactly why i didnt get it
The DLC is not focused on premium content. Every minor DLC brings little content to the game, its more about the feature updates, and now using any kind of tank, vanilla and the premium ones is just way better. I am happy with their DLC policy, its wonderful - pay if you like us, we are making free stuff. The payment is more of an appreciation for creating free major feature updates for the entire community. At one point they even made the APEX DLC objects a free thing for modders. Nothing to be salty about.
ps. There are groups who utilize CSAT, and groups which NEVER use vanilla content. Why not play as CSAT? There is literally nothing stopping you and your group from doing that. Clans and communities are free to do whatever they want, thats the beauty of ArmA, right?
I dont agree with all the people saying that "this DCL will not be a Tanks DCL".
Here is why this DLC deserves its name:
"A tank is an armoured vehicle designed for front-line combat, with heavy firepower, strong armour, tracks and a powerful engine providing good battlefield maneuverability." (I quote Wikipedia)
All these Vehicles fit this descripion in at least three points each. Sure there is a wheeled tank-destroyer but its still a tank by having a big gun, strong armour and a powerfull engine.
The Armored Weapons Carrier Nyx is a RECON tank, with means its suposed to be small and fast. It can also be used as a tank used by paratropers. Its suposed to not engage until it has the advantage (like an ambush).
There are also many other things they added with are all about tanks. Like for example the shwocase/ campain missons, new modifications of old vehicles (offroad), new objects (TANKtraps), camonetting for most Tanks/APCs/AAs and Artilery pieces in game and last but not least: NEW anti TANK wapons for the infantry.
Thats a lot of tank related stuff in this DCL, so it deserves to be called the TANKS DLC! And if you want to keep on bitching... What was the main content of the Karts DLC? Thats right, one vehicle with had just a few more skins than all other vehicles.
Nevermind that they're overhauling all of the tanks in the game, and finally giving them interiors, and bringing in TANK customization. Just because they call it the 'TANKS DLC' Doesn't necessarily imply they're adding a bunch of tanks, but its giving the tanks in the game some much needed love, even for Mod creators. I think its going to be a great DLC, especially with the whole 'networked battlefield' aspect its finally wrapping together.
Plz make AI dlc that make ai very Smart...
That shouldn't be an DLC though
tariq shamsi it is smarter than in most games. COD/BF etc use scripted enemys in their campaign with minor AI decisions.
Angel Marin I disagree as a person who constantly zeuses missions it really shows how stupid they are they can barely manage to do a patrol pattern and then the second they take contact they all stop what they are doing and just prone immediately, they have no independent abilities like taking cover or pursuing a target half the time they just go prone when they take contact and then either don’t move or just do some retarded shit like walking straight into the gunfire, also the ai shows how stupid it is in cqb situations
from what I have seen that depends on the resources you're running the server on. I have seen the smartest AI in gaming history and potato level skirmishers with no plan.
Tanks for making it! :D
What lies ahead for Arma? Will there be a Arma 4 next? I love making missions and stuff in Arma, the new 3d eden editor was a really nice buff from the old one.
This is awesome, and now that it’s almost out of the way, can we please have a faction model revamp in the next roadmap? NATO is especially showing it’s age with models stretching back into the aughts, and they just look jaggy and out of place.
We’ve seen what you guys can do with the grenadier armor, so please put some love into them and bring them up to date to fit wel alongside factions with more love like CSAT.
"Tanks DLC"... sorry but the only real tank in this dlc is the CSAT one... Months and months of work for this... seriously guys...
Disappointed af
had soemoen say to me thay may unvaile more stuff but i aint holding my breath, the jets dlc had everythign that was advertised plus more, for that they said '3 jets' we got that plus a UCAV and the carrier, for this we got 1 tank, an APC, and a recon vehicle
I was expecting the same as the "Jets dlc", 3 tanks and may be additional vehicles or stuff...
I was expecting an M1A4, it’s not currently even mentioned, so realistically it could’ve been used. BUT NOPE, WE GOT A TANK DESTROYER THAT’S GOT NO ARMOR.
Actually been playing it on the Dev-Branch, and while I'd still rather have a Slammer in a straight-up armor fight, it can usually take a round of 125mm before biting the dust. As much as I wanted more proper tanks, I think the Tank Destroyer will actually make for some interesting strategies. The AAF's vehicle is whack though. Fucking Fisher Price car with some tin foil wrapped around it.
The whole point of the Tanks DLC was the complete rebalance of armored vehicles, not specifically to add more tanks into the game.
They made all of the current ground vehicles with cannons far more realistic and effective and made the armor system on tanks more realistic...And you're complaining they they only made 3 extra vehicles?
And make the batter planning process in Arma 3. Such as increase mission planning ability, make shapes and grid lines to the 2D maps. Make users to draw diagrams on screen and add text to maps in Arma 3.
I dont quite know what to think but will keep an open mind. In the modes I play (Wasteland and KOTH) tanks and other armed vehicles sure doesnt need much more firepower or armor. As a dedicated infantry player I fear I will get rekt far more than I already is. But then again, might be really good fun.
So love that this game also plays native on Linux! I've been with this series since Operation Flashpoint!
in about 85% of all multiplayer games against AI in Arma3, tanks are never used as they give the player to big of an advantage.
So it is nice to get a tank DLC, however it is something that will not be used in Milsim Multiplayer games.
Just like drones.
A better DLC would have been improvements to the ZEUS platform.
But tanks are always nice toys to look at, so thank you.
Hope we see drivable aircraft carriers in arma 4
You guys rock, keep the greatness coming! Can't wait to see what the future holds for ArmA!
Splendid work! Thanks for THE best game support of a single player game, ever.
I love what you guys are doing, anything you guys put out I buy!! I especially love the actual real life models made by the workshops, I really wish there was more of those from you guys!
hi, does anyone know the soundtrack at 12:39? I looked around and can't find it :(
The fact that they're flying the Chernarussian flag on Edita is awesome.
Will Titan missile launchers get a Javelin function like some of those tank missiles, where it goes the trajectory to hit a target from above?
Also, will the CSAT tank overcompensate topside armor to try and counter those?
AnthroTsuneon Top down for the Titan and PCML(?) are coming. Take a look into the dev branch
Looking forward to it.. Thank you!
Why was the Armata introduced when CSAT already has an MBT? Just curious
15:23
As you can see, Tanks DLC is shaping up to bring some splendid™ new gameplay to Arma 3
15:42
And we can't wait to get the Tanks DLC in your hands very soon™
15:44
We've hoped you've enjoyed this video, Tanks for watching... and #ByeForNow™.
Man™ they really love their Trademarks™ in that last 20 seconds™
I really love how even the presentation in the beginnkng matches the style of the game xD
Sweet! Cant wate for this DLC! =D So cool and 3d interior for tanks about damn time!
I dont agree with all the people saying that "this DCL will not be a Tanks DCL".
Here is why this DLC deserves its name:
"A tank is an armoured vehicle designed for front-line combat, with heavy firepower, strong armour, tracks and a powerful engine providing good battlefield maneuverability." (I quote Wikipedia)
All these Vehicles fit this descripion in at least three points each. Sure there is a wheeled tank-destroyer but its still a tank by having a big gun, strong armour and a powerfull engine.
The Armored Weapons Carrier Nyx is a RECON tank, with means its suposed to be small and fast. It can also be used as a tank used by paratropers. Its suposed to not engage until it has the advantage (like an ambush).
There are also many other things they added with are all about tanks. Like for example the shwocase/ campain missons, new modifications of old vehicles (offroad), new objects (TANKtraps), camonetting for most Tanks/APCs/AAs and Artilery pieces in game and last but not least: NEW anti TANK wapons for the infantry.
Thats a lot of tank related stuff in this DCL, so it deserves to be called the TANKS DLC! And if you want to keep on bitching... What was the main content of the Karts DLC? Thats right, one vehicle with had just a few more skins than all other vehicles.
K. Gassen No, you’re incorrect. The Tank destroyer is NOT a tank. It is a Tank DESTROYER. Definition: Destroyer of Tanks. The TD has no tracks, no armor, and only a powerful gun, making all your points invalid. Also, the Wiesel is a recon vehicle. VEHICLE. It lacks in the following aspects that you try to prove: Armor and heavy firepower. Also, a powerful engine means nothing when it comes to tanks. That’s like saying that the Tiger wasn’t a tank because it didn’t have a powerful engine. Even in the video they explicitly mention that “although it’s not technically a tank”. So no, you are wrong. It does not deserve the name. This is the true definition of a tank, as Wikipedia is 100% unreliable. “Tank, any heavily armed and armoured combat vehicle that moves on two endless metal chains called tracks. Tanks are essentially weapon platforms that make the weapons mounted in them more effective by their cross-country mobility and by the protection they provide for their crews.” (Britannica). There’s a reason the Bradley is called an IFV, and not a tank. It’s because it was designed for that purpose, supporting infantry. The Wiesel was also designed for that purpose. The Rhino (and whatever the hell its counterpart is in real life) was made to DESTROY tanks. Not be tanks. Again, massive distinct differences. You sir, are incorrect. It does not deserve the name of “Tanks DLC”. The only real tank is the Armata MBT, even though Bohemia had plenty of options, some of which it would not need to license. Here’s an example, the M1 Thumper (prototype),
I thank you for your reply, and you are right. I should have been more carefull with the scorces i used. But the name of the DLC still fits because its main point of view is not on tanks it selfe, but all aspects that are includet in tank warfare like the vehicels, fighting with and against them.
Like for example the Jets DLC or "Laws of War" they try to give us a new understanding and feeling about the main focus of the DLC. The vehicles are just something thats part of the process to refine the game into being realistic, becaus on the real battlefield there are not only main battle tanks but also other things. With this DLC they will rework how you fight in/against a tank in Arma.
If you dont like it, then you dont need to buy it.
Will the mechanics be applied to third party mods?
It's nice to have a new multiplayer gamemode. My opinion is that is too capture the flag, and similar to "End Game", I have would prefered other type of mode. But it is apreciated. New last DLC for arma 3.
I really want to ask here. Does Dwarden ( community manager of arma) still threaten players with global game ban?
So im curious to know if your going to be able to modify the tanks attachments in Zeus. You guys dont nearly put enough effort into one of your best gamemodes.
"Tanks for watching" x)
And about enhanced FPS experience?
This is just awesome, so excited! :)
That's an incredible amount of work, good job guys.
TANKS for making this video! :D
Awesome!
But speaking of the T-72: Can we get an old T-72 in the game for FIA and Syndicate so they can kind of compete with the other factions?
That remix of a cold war assault song at the end of the video is sick. Where can I get it?
