2024 Arma 3: Tactical Realism Feedback Thread

[Dread.M]

1-7 doesn't train to or have incorporated "Snipers". OIC's have the freedom to use Designate Marksmen therefore the mission file will be symbolic to that position which is integrated within the squad with the ideal engagement ranges 600-800m for medium engagements and most engagements would be 300-600 making the MK-11 the preferred weapon because of its versatility for both engagement windows.

Is there any snipers in any teams then?

 

[Dread.M]

1-7 is built around squad tactics. That's why the designated marksman is the tool that has been allowed in our toolbox. It is an integrated marksman that works within the squad. Engagements for long rifles are usually neutralized in the combined arms fashion with mortars, close air support, or vehicle weapon systems. The sniper game play is more focused around 1-4 people whereas our operations are built around a platoon or company action.

Hey, so over the past two mission files
I've noticed that Ace volume is turned off on the server and that earplugs and vehicles do not muffle sound.

Brought this up in the discord Before
Y'all mentioned maybe scripts messed it up
But it is better to be on here

Basically, Ace, by default, muffles outside sounds when in buildings and vehicles
It's not doing that properly now
And the option to increase this audio dampening is no longer working.
On the server, so, sitting inside a Dragoon with a heli 100m away, and the Heli sounds like you are sticking your head in ITS apu

The same goes for hearing protection value on helmets not doing anything.

I don't think this is a confined problem as I've been playing the single-player campaign and
Some other stuff without this issue.

I will look into this. I have tested this in editor, but I will check it out on a server.

So I have looked into this. Acex Volume is disabled via commenting it out in our CBA settings. S3 Dev takes those setting straight from our cScripts and we do not touch them. Looking through the cScripts version history it has been disabled as far back as I can find...at least 1.5 years.
I have tested earplugs (they work) and the pilot helmets work as advertised for sound damping. In short...I don't have a fix for you for this issue....at this current time. I will converse with our scripting team and see what they think about it though.
