Arma 3 - Reviewing a Shoreside Rescue in Hindsight Episode 6

[@tykCypher]

I'm beginning to suspect you do these just to slip in all these burns.

[@Jimbotheone]

You must count yourself lucky that you weren't around to have a perspective including boats.

[@nathanngqwebo2108]

Dslyecxi, this sounds like a prepared defence for a possible court martial hearing on charges of insubordination.

[@dslyecxi]

Cleared of all charges as a result, of course.

[@Jarbones]

"...I trusted my leaders to make the right calls earlier, and, at this point, it was time for them to trust me." ~Dslyecxi

[@MrBojangles2020]

Great point on backseat leading!! Especially for Arma vets who know EVERYTHING! 😉Squad has that issue at times as well. No one wants to lead but everybody has the answers on what YOU should doing

[@xStrikie]

Love this series, not only for your insights, but they also are changing how I'm watching the regular videos. Like someone explaining a fine wine and then being able to taste the subtleties

[@johndane9754]

Sounds like you've made a water-tight case for your tribunal.

[@ReverendTed]

10:10 - Watching the OpFor swarm out of the forest is downright terrifying, and it seems like a _miracle_ that only 4 were killed. Great hindsight, and I got a kick out of the team member descriptions.

[@Qarlo99]

I know that this type of video takes much more time and effort, but (from a selfish viewer's standpoint) they are well worth it. : ] It's good to see that things seem to be still going well for you. Regards.

[@theFonzii]

babe wake up, Dslyecxi uploaded a new hindsight episode

[@lloyd28khz43]

Fun video. MG Bait loaded his earlier and his last stand on the beach is epic... plus comments once he's finally killed and the group of the dead watches the final boat rescue. Really excellent stuff from your group of players. You guys all have a great attitude for the game.

Like I said in the Mission vid. "Once a Marine, always a Marine. You learn to follow orders until you under the circumstances must belay the orders given to fit the scenario. Not by chance, but by training. Medal of Honor recipients follows orders to a "T" until a moment that requires immediate action on their part to influence a positive outcome from a deadly situation for their comrades. That kind of mindset can also be used today in society, instead of the "Me" mindset we have today. We are all in this together, and it will take a great Team to get us through it. Even though this is a Game, One can learn from its RL lessons. Thank You Dslyexi for your quality videos and ShackTac crew teamwork.

[@lordgollum3700]

Just want to say, this series is so good, im suprised it hasnt been done more (or by other creators). We all love stories and arma is one of the best games to tell these, and doing it in this format works particularly well.

[@rakshal132]

Fantastic as usual, love seeing these from the team member perspective as much as leader perspective.

[@Cardonas]

When the hindsight is longer then the actual video... perfection. Great as always!

[@jonahcote1089]

The quality of these hindsight videos is absolutely unbelievable!

[@linkspanda]

Hindsight is literally a blessing, my favorite videos on your channel by far

[@tyker77]

Absolutely fantastic video. Glued to the screen the whole time!

[@jaydenthatcher5243]

Another great video! Thanks for putting the time in behind the scenes to make it happen.

[@krytera3154]

Awesome series, I love how you present your videos with all of the visual information as always

[@yadjekim]

"Honing since the Paleolithic." LOL! Nice shot, Dslyecxi. Is he really that much older than you, really?

[@apieceofcake2532]

MG Bait is ancient, let no one tell you different.

[@yadjekim]

@@apieceofcake2532 MG is three years younger than me, actually. Ancient, huh? Interesting. ; )

[@kebman]

Strange comparison. I'm taking my driver's license now. Sometimes the ligth will go to red while I'm in the middle of crossing. The teacher always tells me to complete the motion, if I already started it while the light was green or yellow. In most instances, you finish the movement, and then pay attention to other stuff. In short, if you're in the middle of something, it's usually safer to finish the thing, before paying attention to other stuff.

[@arizenzei]

good call on the indirect smoke support

[@SirRoffCoughTheThird]

Seeing content like this is always a treat, thank you!

[@Dexter-nw2fe]

I stopped watching the videos just because of the length of them and dont simply have the time, but man did i miss watching moments like these and the epic flying moments. Still remember the nightime vietnam extract from the trenches at the lz. Great series,

[@Zabright]

Fun breakdown. Thanks for posting. When I watched the original, and first saw the EI unload on the beach I thought “oh this is gonna be a hindsight isn’t it?”

[@1fortheroad1]

"Bravo 2 Fireteam Leader and Presumed Colorblind Person" "Alpha 2 Paleolithic Artifact" "Alpha 1 Damsel in Distress " Love these titles.. But you forgot one Dslyecxi "Boat GOAT"

[@chips989]

Bravo 2 Dslyecxi - Navy Cross Recipient

[@StewyPlays]

Honestly man this is the coolest way for watching ARMA videos. Keep up to awesome work!

[@Ianassa91]

This was a particularly excellent episode in the excellent series. Thanks for uploading these and for all you have done for the arma community :)

[@Ekstrax]

haha wow i didn't see that boat fly across the screen at the time. I was very surprised to hear most of alpha survived that, very well done rescue!

[@WillFarshore]

As a long time sub I just wanted to say that while I enjoy most of your content I really do love some of these hindsight videos because it's not just action or comedy but is instead a clear look into some of the decision making and gives a real good look on what's "going on under the hood" so to speak during these missions and is fascinating to see.

[@Neox1986]

Spoiler: There is no Hind in this episode

[@IceTactics]

I liked the initial fire superiority that everyone on the beach attained immediately after taking contact. Picturesque.

[@KazakhToon]

Really liking the comic book fonts for spoken stuff and your thoughts. Serious fun indeed

[@sortofgrim]

Thank you for this. Love the humor.

[@Rasbiff]

I didn't see the boat literally YEETing from right to left at 4:09-4:10 until I saw this video lol. I guess that explains part of the mystery. As for WHY that happened I have no idea.

[@kebman]

This series is AWESOME! Thank you!

[@jackshaw3475]

Loving this series! Experienced and skilled thought processes in crazy situations!

[@OneEquineShedASingleTear]

Literally just watched the video of this op!

[@SamEEE12]

RIP MG Bait, to Valhalla.

[@jadeddigger9291]

Man that was a pretty impossible situation as there really wasn't much that could have been differently as the frog and foliage prevented effective overwatch and the zombie hoard with guns seemed pretty tough... the only thing I think that could have improved the situation would have been leaving the Automatic riflemen behind to increase fire superiority plus having the remaining element left on the beach buddy bound into the water as rounds would have had less of a penetrative effect and maybe by swimming away the enemy would lose LOS in the fog...idk I'm just playing arm chair general Regardless this is really high quality content Dslyecxi and I really enjoy these breakdowns, keep it up!

[@Griefor5]

This was a very interesting watch. Looking forward to the next

[@smedsbobjorn]

Great video like always!

[@Foxtrop13]

4:19 you can see muzzle flashes from the ghost boat

[@Spyderist]

Good video series

[@ekmad]

Textbook ambush, surprised OPFOR didn't inflict more casualties considering their proximity.

[@ReverendTed]

And number! Good grief!

[@Thompson8200]

Peak ARMA is best ARMA.

[@pwolfamv]

I feel like the frequency of these Hindsight videos increased when I became a Patreon. Not saying I should take credit but you can all thank me anyway.

[@Deuzen_FIN]

Y'know, it took me this long to realize the occasional symbol on the fly-over view isn't crossbones, but two chevrons to indicate who the SL is. Derp.

[@figmo4227]

hell yeah, high speed low drag

[@realgucman]

Amazing video

[@kebman]

Suddenly and violently, at close range. Just like in Rhodesia. :D

[@TheStainlessSteelRat]

'...Or close the beach up with our Alpha dead.'

[@vitorossi7839]

My opinion: Should've turned around all (or at least one) bravo boat(s) to give covering as fast as possible, not disengage first. That is what i would've done anyway. More firepower + an ability for people on the beach to mount on the boats under covering fire.

[@dslyecxi]

There's a very real chance that I'd be making a Hindsight video of that scenario talking about how turning around a loaded boat to shoot at the shore was needlessly risky and got more people killed/wounded than sending single-crewed boats back.

[@ReverendTed]

@@dslyecxi A good lesson for life in general - it's easy to look back and fixate on the "best possible outcome" for an option you didn't choose, while you're living with the consequences of the one you did, not fully appreciating that the other path could itself have played out more than one way. They say hindsight is 20-20, but it's often through rose-tinted glasses.

[@timobrenn]

these hindsight video's are like crack for me

[@sam8742]

name: MG bait *dies in the fucking first clip*

[@SuffyANX]

I would love to see speedrunners, with all their skill in using physics and other bugs to their advantage, try and find a way to weaponize those Arma moments like the boat getting launched out of the water at mach 1. Watching a mission play out as a rube goldberg machine of carefully exploited spaghetti code would be hilarious if somebody could figure out how to control the kraken that is the Arma physics engine reliably

[@texmechs4961]

Of course in hindsight, boats 1&2 could have shifted left and created overlaping lanes of fire to take care of your left flank ........maybe?

[@DJRD555]

more please
