Haha awesome! Always cool running into someone in the wild. Don't worry that was not a good loot run, you didn't miss out on anything!

There's like one or two places in blue lagoon that offer any sort of protection, and both of them have lots of spaces that enemies can fire at. Blue lagoon is rough lol

I don't know my exact frames but definitely feel a drop over Baghdad

To be fair, ED were pretty clear about how their maps would release. I don't have Kola so I can't comment on its state at release but I did see a lot of negative reception. Iraq is in a much better state at release than Afghanistan though

@ ED was NOT clear. In fact, on their announcement thread in the forums for Afghanistan, they clearly claim each portion of the map would launch effectively feature complete and each portion would follow every 3 months. Neither happened. Kola should have never released as bare bones as it was either. They are nothing more then cash grabs of hype. The Kola map is only 9 months old in early access and is already selling for less than the early access deal. I’m so done with their marketing tactics.

@@johnwicks4936 I hear you but personally I never take them at their word when it comes to timelines and I live a happy life as a result

@@RaptorRising Good way to be I guess. I've decided that 2025 will be a no purchase year for DCS. I figure I'm not losing anything anyway as nothing is finished and won't be for years. I'm making a resolution to just enjoy all the E/A stuff I've already bought. Cheers!

​​@@johnwicks4936 Kola Map is made by OrbX... not by ED. The "early" in early access means: You can be part of the early testers in a work-in-progress product for less money... but you don't have to...

Awesome thank you for that

Awesome thank you for that

Ah, the waiting game it is very impressive with its detail and the missions that can be recreated make up quite a long list!

@@RaptorRising well not really the WAITING game per se, as I purchased it in pre release. I just can't GET it as I'm out on a job, and will be out till probably past New Years. If I downloaded it on my laptop over the company internet, I'd probably be out of a job ;)

Haha I could imagine. Hopefully it's worth the wait for you

Hey, the mod has stealth. I've literally flown over sam sites that won't touch me. Most of time, enemy aircraft will fly by you if you stay outside of 20 miles and missiles have reduced effectiveness too

Yes it's cursed

Hold down CAPSLOCK :)

You have to buy it or join someone who has bought it to play it

@RaptorRising ya it says I have the dlc

Are you doing career or quick play? If you do career you have to finish all the main missions first. If you do quick play, when you go to select the mission, there should be a tab there for the dark water dlc. Click that and choose one of the three new maps

@RaptorRising ya i didn't finish all the carrier stuff missions in commander mode

Mods elevate this game, no doubt about it. Thankful for our awesome modding community.

Thank you for the kind words and support friend

I am flattered, thank you for taking the time to comment!

No, thank you for your passion and support. Beautiful content 🙏🏻. Kind regards Nick

I've run out of passion and support

Seems fine for me but I have a lot of RAM

Runs fine for me

@dayz2990 4K all day. Everything maxed out! DLSS set to quality. Believe I'm averaging 110-120 fps but not sure what it is on the new maps.

@@Magnificent2600 just realized I missed one of the new helmets that came with the DLC. It's pretty slick looking!

@@RaptorRising They best part about itt is having both a gasmask and night vision.

Yeah that's all we need now is rework for attachments. I'd love to run the PEQ15 and do IR and visible laser

I think a 2 second burst would be acceptable so you can get to cover in most situations. The AI can do it, why can't we?

ppl would play it like cod if they added sprinting

Feel like it does this to emphasize tactics and maneuvering. Most guns are very manageable in semi auto, and a few of them are really easy to control full auto. A 308 should kick quite a bit, but to your point, with enough training most recoil handling is mitigated through experience

@RaptorRising I often for range day run a mk17 and maybe its my size but I dont move all that much and a 556 never climbs above a inch of muzzle climb for me. I wish games translated that more I get them wanting to implement a recoil management system but I just feel some stuff could be toned down. Its probably me, I can handle it fine its just odd. But I'm a hopeful for a game to give me that sense of realism where most guns just sort of jitter in your hands of you control it properly, tho ive only even shot with swat twice helping them with some stuff and them compared to most of us is nearly night and day. I'm probably hopeful having 13 years of experience a giant chunk of it active combat zones and when I see games try for the tactical stuff or other games for military simulation my brain probably expects it to be as if it was managed like riding a bike. Still a bit weird to me that games invite high recoil where first rounds the chest 2nd is the head when you double tap, thats a massive leap. I get it but I dont

I have a lot of experience with the SCAR 17 and I'm a big fan of the platform. While it as a punch, it is also very manageable in semi-auto. I do feel like that's the case in the game. I can't speak to one in full auto, but I bet it's an absolute blast. 5.56 is very comfortable as well. I'm a bit spoiled in the game as well as I run the gunfighter mod, and it tweaks things pretty nicely, so the stock RoN experience is kinda lost on me, haha. Look for it on nexusmods. It was just updated for the new patch!

@@RaptorRising I have a trigger pack in my mk17 I got few a steal, its clean. If you ever have a chance rip a few mags through one full-auto. Dont need much weight behind it to hold it in place it should sorta infinity symbol in your hands held rifht because of its weird recoil pattern being a short stroke gas pistol, its pretty neat.

Freakin love the platform. I would love to get behind one with a happy mode and yeet 20 rounds through it haha

That 100% makes sense. I'm sure there's a lot more lore to deep dive in this update too. Looks like the MLO is being pushed heavy

Wouldn't overseas imply operating outside US Juristiction? They're just operating a short bit off the coast of the US, still within US waters.

How is that compared to hell let loose? Is it also a ptsd simulator? Lol

@@RaptorRising HLL is a arcade game compared to Squad 44... Wayyy more immersive!

@agoodman1614 haha they can basically push you to death, if that counts? You can bash them back with your own melee but they'll usually win once the shoving match starts

THIS IS NEEDED

@DefinitelyNotATerriblePerson I am going to skirt political commentary here and leave everyone to draw their own conclusions, but the arsenal our swat team is carrying is not far from reality at all. Police in the US are heavily militarized; you can feel how you want about that. Real life is already bordering on a dystopia. The world of Ready or Not is a dystopia in full swing. The police are dealing with so many domestic threats that they may as well be a special forces branch.

So what. I don't mind a game where I can play as both on different scenarios.

@@RaptorRising didnt the team state that this mission wasnt swat

@@gsshunter it's swat + coast guard

@@RaptorRisingno no. It’s not Coast Guard. It’s C.O.A.S.T. Also, idk if anyone else said this but there’s two plate carriers they added. The other one is at the end of the list.

@@nyrak5570 they can just call it Ready now

yea, they remake TOC in this update

Yea they made toc sound more American and depressed, so it fits in perfectly with the game haha

@aceofspades0074 yeah new voice for TOC. I like it! I know some people want the old one back. It would be cool if there was a way to switch them but I bet there will be a mod to do this at some point anyway.

@@mist-v8i they're very big maps but the detail is awesome

yes

@@Luka-by3mu guns are free for all! The cosmetics and ability to host the new maps in singleplayer and multi-player require the dlc, but if you know someone else who has the dlc, they can host and you'll be able to play the new maps that way for free! Void has a pretty upstanding way they've run their DLCs. I respect them for it

@@tass9329 😂 she has a potty mouth

yep it sounds clearer and less saturated

Exactly. It's made changes like this accessible to anyone with barely any tweaking necessary

Yeah its a good loot recovery weapon too because of how compact it is. It fits in almost every backpack

Military Firearm Crates at the high tier areas. They're rare AF

You can hold breath for a while if you are fresh

@ I feel like my guy never does he gets tired after 6 seconds or less 😂

My biggest gripe is the 10% penalty on durability for dying. It's punishment enough that I have to go run for my gear if I die

@@RaptorRising yup, that too, but still, why release this feature without the ability to fix? Just to frustrate your community?

It was a questionable choice. But at least you can just swap out individual components to keep it going

Yeah, working on it.

There are a couple left but the ones that were free to get into are gone

Lol true but at least they don't just stand there and move side to side randomly as they used to

@RaptorRising oh absolutely. Much better than how they used to be.

There was a bug that popped up with the radar but it was a date related issue that was actually able to be patched. There are a couple of bugs that stand with the module, the worst being sync between pilot and wso in multi-crew. The only other one I can think of is the smart weapon munitions selection which sometimes won't let you select all of the ordinance to program but this can be worked around. Otherwise everything still works... for the time being.

I mean if they want to keep ballistics realistic they need to keep it as is. It's balanced by how rare it is early game.

This isn’t call of duty they don’t nerf guns like that night ops update was the first time they adjusted guns at all and game has been out for a year

Yeah! It's in military firearm crates at narith and sapphire

I haven't used the shotguns too much outside of ybl. Will they work around narith?

Are u using the basic buck or the tight spread one ?

@@RaptorRising Starting town they one tap everything basically and they have a good range. Later on they decrease of performance compared to other weapons due to higher armors

That's sort of what I figured.

Ok ill have to try buckshot then i was using the black slugs and it was underwhelming

Military firearms crates at MS and Fort Narith and its also a quest reward from turncoat

@@RaptorRising Ah Okay, Thank you. Do you know the name of that quest by chance?

I don't recall specifically but it's one where you have to choose between helping turncoat or banshee

@@Ryan-gv9ec it's such a beast
