Arma 3 - Conducting an Air Assault - Dslyecxi's Arma 3 Guides

[@MyNameIsBucket]

1) Throttle up 2) Tilt mouse slightly 3) OH FUCK OH SHIT SHIT SHIT AAAARGH 4) Respawn

[@mikeg7750]

I know these are old, but holy shit they are really well done. A++ for production, editing, and cinematography. Stunning work. Can't wait to play this game.

Also, if you haven't seen it yet, make sure to check out the new Arma3 Zeus info - www.arma3.com/dlc/zeus Free DLC based around a great MP concept.

[@crazystuffproduction]

***** i cant agree more!

[@adamhrasko2168]

Now we know how to pilot chopper, and how to safely land, but you could make a video where you teach us how to take down chopper like where to aim, which weapon use... you know what i mean :)

[@chevalier115]

zx64 = Zeus, nuff said.

[@thespartanmk1]

Adam Hraško Helos are pretty fragile. Enough fire into them will eventually bring them down. Go for engines, tail rotor, or cockpit. The higher the caliber the better.

[@TheGreekSpawn]

Game master? That is cool man..Role-playing shit into ArmA

[@sykotykplays]

9 years and i still come back to reference this work. Thanks again for all these videos!

[@headrockbeats]

Dslyecxi, your Arma 3 guide videos are a whole 'nother kind of awesome. They leave me speechless.

[@TheSergeantWaffle]

Next one of these should be about conducting a mechanized assault

[@kurf4122]

It's hard to cover that kind of topic since it is pretty straightforward. -Maintain covering of hostile blind spots -Maintain fire superiority -Suppress any present anti-tank assets -Always stay within 50m of friendly infantry

[@JiveDilletante]

Super cool guide to a super cool subject

[@HuckOrris]

I think it says alot about Dslyecxi and BIS, that they get him to do these videos. I love it.

[@beeleaveme]

I want see Dslyecxi like Zeus in new dlc, will be awesome

[@jisellan]

Actually if you see the trailer his name is in it as one of the units.

[@beeleaveme]

TheNaCH Seriously? When?

[@jisellan]

At 1:11 in the official Zeus Video you will have DNA Moricky and Dslyecxi with icons and in unit list you will have them in red.

[@Maverick_Zer0]

These vidoes are still very fun to watch, even though i rarely play ArmA 3 multiplayer.

[@ThirithCH]

Great video, as always. It's a shame - I don't really have the time to commit to community Arma gaming as I'd like, but every time I see e.g. ShackTac videos I think it must be so much fun. I have found a community that seems to be a good balance between being relatively non-committal yet having the 'serious fun' attitude of ShackTac, with people having the ambition to play and cooperate well.

[@artsizi3376]

Guides are always helpful.

[@BurnerTactical]

Excellent guide and instructional cinematics

[@shafty1981]

Love the ChickenHawk reference. Read that book a long time ago. Now I have to go look for it in my collection.

[@aserna32]

Very good Class! Keep it up! "Deeds Not Words" And Happy Birthday to the 10th! "Climb to Glory"!

[@lukewarmscr0temeal]

Sometimes I wonder if Shacktac has a level of communication and discipline equal to or greater than the actual army

[@zmanfilms]

Fantastic video as always, great job! Quick question, are there any other large ARMA 2/3 groups comparable to ShackTac that you can recommend?

[@Tibialstone7]

Dslyexci, I'm not sure if it's a Shack Tac exclusive thing or not, but the scripts you use to trace game movements with a free camera by using Unit Capture and Unit Play, have you developed some kind of GUI tool for pausing, rewinding, playing gameplay. I've been trying to use the Splendid Camera since my scripting knowledge is far from adequate, and I'd love even just a few pointers on just how you can replay your own gameplay in such a cinematic and engaging way. Thanks.

[@ludgerhoutman4464]

But I am told by the late Mr. Clancy (RIP) that "airborne rangers jump from planes". I wonder if this is possible in game, and if so, if it is a viable alternative.

[@masterjamper]

i would love to see u do a emergency exvil

[@happyone234]

Which helicopter has an infantry minigun that you can fire from the cockpit? I can't remember.

Shaaq Apparel yup, you can.

[@giantnanomachine]

Terry Pratchett(ish) quote at the end there or just coincidence?

[@MessengerAndrew]

Great guide. Where did you get the images? Is that gameplay?

[@Jakeonite]

This game is amazing just all the multiplayer servers are laggy :(

[@_domlnlk_]

Love your Vidz Dude ... :-) have Fun ....ARMA3

[@Rafael09ED]

I heard you doing a voice over for VBS 3. Are you working for Bohemia now?

[@thecellhawk]

I am yet to see a server that can carry 3 fully loaded Mohawks with all people being able to follow chain of command and act as a team.

[@Whimsykiller]

This is somewhat related to the air stuff. My group uses ACRE, and I've noticed in your videos that your 148s seem to work basically everywhere. Is it just a misconception on my part, or have you modded it somehow? Juggling 117's is very difficult, and cumbersome.

[@namrewob1]

Have you tried Task Force Radio?

[@AllenD00D]

AYYEE Chickenhawk quote. Heeeaarrd that!

[@soogoonu]

graphics are crazy but what minimum rig does it needs to show them up without crying?

[@kurf4122]

a big rig *slaps knee*

[@spEAMerNation]

NASA'S fuckin' supercomputer... Seriously though, you need a good PC to run this game... The price is decently worth it though...

[@Tamereno]

Sweet video

[@8x5t3e7s4r6y]

Need to get myself rudder pedals. They just cost alot so Im using rudder with my keyboard.

[@8x5t3e7s4r6y]

***** But I play IL-2 1946 and War Thunder simulator battles, the rudder with E+Q is kinda stupid since its always 100% rudder.

[@ALEX86ZILBER]

one of the best games.

Will u do a halo jump vid, this!

[@finnhewitt5526]

Can people still join your community because I have just bought arma 3 and I think i'am a good pilot and I would love to learn more about this amazing game

[@StickShaker21]

hey i just picked up ARMA3 and i'm trying to get in to the multiplayer aspect but i'm kinda lost and overwelmed any advice on how to get up to speed on the game?

[@DantezMaritu]

Did you try reading his ArmA guide?

[@hvjeger]

Nice! (as always)

[@kanan348]

Hey Dslyecxi i saw your name tag in the new Arma 3 Zeus dlc trailer .What do you think about it ?

[@waltermatthewberg]

I have no idea how to play this game and I have no one to play with so I gave up and uninstalled but it looks like it could be fun

[@larkin54]

it takes effort its not a "normal" game in that regard

[@AmbassadorSugarcane]

Inspiring

[@ertoflp]

Hey Dslyecxi! how do i join shacktac? :)

[@ryanschlotfeldt1070]

Out of curiousity, do you get paid fairly well for these?

[@larkin54]

he works for Bohemia in some regard i believe, though he may be on the VBS team and not the ARMA team

[@OnlySameTrue]

TY!

Go ahead and post when I'm working. :-(

[@blank_page_]

Nice

Wtf is Zeus dslyecxi I saw you In the trailer

[@Painmace]

If only Arma 3 was as good as Arma 2

[@nollix]

You're an idiot. Arma 2 handled like dogshit, Arma 3 is the first game in the series to make an attempt at making the gameplay feel better.

[@MrAttentionHorse]

nollix Yeah, I agree. Arma 3 is better in literally every way except for the amount of content (weapons, vehicles, maps) but that's only because it's still a fresh game, they released it in September 2013. Arma 2 had a lot of time to become something great, so let's give that time to Arma 3.

[@ekmad]

It is, it just needs a little work. Dsly has said the only reason they AREN'T using it is because the online lags too badly with 100+ players and that their extensive mod suite is set-up for ArmA2.

[@phillipcbunker]

Arma 3 was a money grab, IMO. Anyone else think they spent more on magazine ads than developing the game? I don't know if it's not as good as Arma2, but it sure isn't nearly as good as I had hoped. Still the same old issues with ladders, doors, and an almost non-existent damage model, but with more emphasis on CQB. I don't know if BI intended the series to be more “gamey” and less “simulatory”, but that's what ended up happening. Just look at how most people play..

[@Painmace]

well the only good with Arma 3 is the visuals and stability. Arma 2 is better in all other ways..... Arma 3 doesn't feel like Arma at all and the futuristic shit is the worst, you need a freaking launcher to take out the lights military transport vehicle.... -.
