I'd love to see more videos of Dslyecxi manning technicals and similar armed light vehicles. There's a certain thrill in seeing him zooming about, with nothing between him and incoming bullets but crossed fingers and bravado.
Halliwedge Like Cheshire said, I did the trailer for it. I'm excited for it, yeah - the setting's neat and aside from the obvious benefit of having a professional BIS terrain and asset set, the idea of the community being able to use said assets to create additional terrains (and, y'know, Vietnam stuff) is really appealing.
Lloyd Drake can always give it more ammo, I mean the least i'd want on such a vic would be 6 ammo boxes 1+5 for the gun. Because 100 rounds per box is not a lot.
Yeah in the right hands a few short bursts from that thing can take out many people.. From extremely far away. With dslyecxi on the gun it's practically unfair
swish007 The recent changes I've been making to these kinds of mounted weapons have been aimed at avoiding the laser-death-automatic-sniper-machinegun nonsense of the vanilla game. So while they are deadly, they are far less accurate now and require much more finesse to use effectively.
I love podagorsk, but one issue is that the map feels half empty. There's almost 2/3rds where all there is is maybe two buildings, and train tracks. The rest is forest. I wish the creator would add more to the map. Maybe he will in ArmA 3, since two may of limited his capabilities.
The map mod seems to work great. Your driver knew exactly what you wanted, then chose to drive off road (facepalm) just as I was about to commend him as an excellent driver... righteous !
4:10 Holy crap what was that, an APC or IFV? That thing just cooked off after a couple rounds. Man what was that thing firing, high-ex bullets? ... that explains the GLA.
+lppbondo Maybe their militia group ran out of retreads. Suddenly getting the disturbing mental image of a war criminal Dslyecxi executing civilians by "necklacing".
Thanks! It's a very cool/convincing effect. I've been watching all your videos, I've only ever played arma single player, it seems so different to go up against all real humans.
***** well , hardcore for me is when i get the purest gameplay i can get from a game , no magic crosshairs or 3d cams , it should be as close as it could with the real life . And i thought that shacktack is trying to do that .
If there was the scripted capability to alter crosshairs, I'd do it in a heartbeat (and I've asked for that capability before). There currently isn't. Given the choice between having them and not, having them helps to correct for some aspects (as noted in the linked page) that would be issues otherwise.
WhiteBerryBold I've been experimenting with making a CSW mod of sorts, and this is using it. The idea is to make them less like flawlessly stabilized pinpoint accurate weapons, and more like their real-world counterparts.

I guess when you had the tire fail, you could say you were having technical difficulties...
RenegadeAmish That should be the title, haha.

Agreed
7:56 Charlie Brown's parents speaking xD
Pwasma Dwagon I know right? I couldn't understand a word and the guy is like "Roger that."
I was like... what do you mean "roger" -.-
+TheSharpeful He probably was closer to him or such, which would mean he would've heard it much clearer then Dslyecxi.
Pwasma Dwagon Where's Taconic when you need him? :D
Oh man I've been hoping for a technical video for a while now
Never underestimate the technical details.
You make one hell of a skirmisher in that thing.
Nice with the map gestures.. Helps a lot when adressing directions in a hurry
Cool to see the new map gestures addon being used.
Dslyecxi's greatest foe: Mother Nature.
Dyslexi are you excited for the new map?
and have you been able to get any special access to it, seeing as you are close to Bohemia?
Halliwedge As far as I'm aware he's the one that recorded the trailer for it.

***** Vietnam, huh? We're not going to be seeing you sending more of your guys falling down a cliff, are we? ;)
TheRogueWolf Dear god that video was just so perfect.
TheRogueWolf What video is that?
@7:00 that zoom O.O thumbsized pixels on the weapon texture xD
4:05. Patience rewarded. Love ArmA.
It's a pity the technical always gets so little ammo.
Lloyd Drake Less ammo, bigger bullets, right?
Lloyd Drake The thing is f*ing deadly.

arma 4 is gonna be awesome
Is the compass at the top different than vanilla?
I'd find a way to ad kolts command consoles in along with the door mod. many a few others.

***** That was not his fault, in most cases you can plough through 100 of those bushes with no trouble. Just those ones were apparently rocks instead
TheRealJellyMcNelly
Well you never know if there is a nasty rock under a bush in RL... vehicle cross country mobility is way too high in Arma
Love that hit-and-run. : ]
Qarlo99 And for the enemy it´s shit-and-run when they got hit by it! ;P
4:10 Holy crap what was that, an APC or IFV? That thing just cooked off after a couple rounds. Man what was that thing firing, high-ex bullets? ... that explains the GLA.
***** why wasn't the Technical not carrying a spare wheel?
+lppbondo Maybe their militia group ran out of retreads. Suddenly getting the disturbing mental image of a war criminal Dslyecxi executing civilians by "necklacing".
Does the radio in the game simulate range/interference or were those people just on garbage internet connections?
+Jarren Butterworth It's radio simulation, part of the ACRE2 mod.
Thanks! It's a very cool/convincing effect. I've been watching all your videos, I've only ever played arma single player, it seems so different to go up against all real humans.
Is there a reason you guys never carry binoculars? Seems like pretty basic equipment for a standard squad, even for low-income area engagements.
WolfdogSNS Fireteam leaders/squad leaders/etc have them, as do machinegun team assistants.
***** your technique is quite impressive. ;-)
how is that hardcore if the crosshair is on ?
+cristian bacun What exactly does "hardcore" mean to you? dslyecxi.com/shacktacs-usage-of-crosshairs/
***** well , hardcore for me is when i get the purest gameplay i can get from a game , no magic crosshairs or 3d cams , it should be as close as it could with the real life . And i thought that shacktack is trying to do that .

ty for answering my comment :3
Ramdom question but how old are you?
If I was to guess from his picture at the end of the video I'd say between 30-34
rangersinper54 Well if in his Q&A he was 31 I'd imagine its not much far past, maybe 32.
Is the MG's recoil animation part of a mod? Whenever I play an Arma game the static MG's tend to be lifeless and boring.
WhiteBerryBold I've been experimenting with making a CSW mod of sorts, and this is using it. The idea is to make them less like flawlessly stabilized pinpoint accurate weapons, and more like their real-world counterparts.
*****
Also noticed the gunshots have a lot of retort/echo now, is that a new mod or part of the weapons pack you're using? Sounds great!
Peregrine M That was done by the Marksman DLC, if we're thinking of the same thing.
...good driver
Fuck yeah 360th like abd 60th comment
