Arma 4 Alpha v0.51 Review Build *Seems Legit*

[@hydra_5566]

They only announced like this year

[@ethancole9618]

20 seconds in and I can tell that drewskis parents failed. Look both ways before crossing the street!

[@notsogood6025]

I thought the same thing.

[@greenkodex]

Haha. My thoughts exactly too

[@BinkyTheElf1]

The cage armor is for stopping HEAT rounds, causing them to detonate before they strike the hull of the vehicle. This is a very cool ARMA add-on pack.. thanks for the intro!

[@kirk_7632]

look both ways!

[@dutch_asocialite]

And that's why you look both ways before crossing, Drewski. Honestly, if your mother could see you now, she'd be disappointed at how you're wasting your life playing video games as a job.

[@kainicholson6799]

*shots fired*

[@jacka6497]

Well done drew, I gotta give it to ya, that ArmaA 4 aplha troll was a good one! ;)

[@-few-fernando11]

the original Operation Flashpoint already had 3D interior of tanks, and that was in 2001

[@debetrolence1991]

No one asked you kid.

[@-few-fernando11]

Debet Rolence Ha, I hope you have been arround for quite a while, to call me kid. Nobady asked you anything either, BUT the video states that the tanks have 3D interiors, wich is very nice, but was already a thing back when it all started, in OFP aka ARMA Cold War Assault

[@VoidplayLP]

@@-few-fernando11 its also not a thing you really need, so its honestly not a big deal that it didnt exist before this DLC.

[@-few-fernando11]

VoidplayLP indeed it's not a must have at all But it shows how innovative OFP really was in it's time

[@VoidplayLP]

@@-few-fernando11 Well yeah, but personally id rather have the devs improve other things, like performance...Well currently theyre mostly working on arma 4 but you get the idea. And the Thing with 3d models is that theyre Not getting easier to make, so a more detailed modern set of models is a lot more costly than operation flashpoint models.

[@Don-qp1bl]

i think the Nyx is designed after the german "Wiesel", atleast the look and configurations are quiet similar even though i'm missing a mortar configuration for the Nyx which the Gebirgsjäger actually have for their Wiesels

[@CardSharkOfficial]

The Nyx is longer than the wiesel, with one additional roadwheel pair, because the weapon station is a remote controled one behind the commander rather than on top of his position. It looks extra cool imho.

[@Don-qp1bl]

CardShark yeah you're right, didn't even think about that but still I think the Wiesel is the inspiration for it, they are just too much alike

[@CardSharkOfficial]

Ah, yes, definitely, I just wanted to add that there were interesting differences between the two. EDIT: actually the Wiesel II, used for the german SHORAD system and mortar system, and a few more variants, have that hull length already. But the Wiesel I is the short version, used for the real life 20mm fire-support vehicle and the TOW carrier. The Arma devlopper just rationalized all of this on a single long hull.

[@kalskirata9643]

The nyx is based on the German weasel tank. Used by the Heer and Luftwaffe. It's used today in the airbourne and light infantry units of the Bundeswehr

[@axelviteh]

wait, whats that "arma 4 alpha" right there???

[@goobers143]

Troll

[@DerickMasai]

Markey Head To Minute 1.44 And Take A Look On The Left Side Menu. It's Under Arma 3

[@axelviteh]

Markey look at his gamelist when he opens steam, right below arma 3, it may be a troll but how do you change a game's name on steam?

[@goobers143]

You changed the .exe file name

[@bobuscesar2534]

Goobers Or add a non steam game to the library.

[@СтепанКононов-х8щ]

Just some thoughts that are... well, not really much needed: in T-140 Angara's name the stress in on the last syllable (AngarA). It is named after river AngarA (or i assume so) which is located in Krasnoyarskiy region in Russia. And yes, thank you for the video =)

[@Threatstodebts69]

Степан Кононов possible, they should've just kept the name Armata

[@minigunuser25]

A lot of games change names to avoid licensing or other legal issues

[@bwcmakro]

Eyyy, I live in that area.

[@userojwhdbs]

Also, its said in the Altis Requirem campaign, that the armor plates are secret. I think thats because they are made from some extraterrestrial materials. Could explain why they are secret, and also maybe because CSAT wants to have better stuff than everyone else

[@kooijpolloi8220]

That first vehicle is a copy of the South African Rooikat armoured car. Pretty cool.

[@DanTheTTT]

The T-140 will be more OP if the Pods to its sides are working... The pods are actually countermeasures for missiles and projectiles.

[@kschwords9223]

The cages protect against shape charges such as RPG17 and pretty much every AT rocket. Same with the little blocks, they are “reactive” however. But by this time in the future all AT munitions would have dual shape charges, one to blow through the cage or reactive and the other to punch through the armor itself.

[@VoidplayLP]

well theres ERA that can deal with tandem heat these days, also arma doesnt have any tandem heat except maybe on some missiles, largely because many vehicles also deploy active anti munition systems that are probably not possible to implement in arma.

[@hugo511]

The T-140K also has insane AA capability for a tank. I have had 2 A-164s come to shoot me (in the campaign, they were AI so not that good) and I could take them out with my main cannon (pressing T on them so it adjusts to the range and then aiming a bit lower left before taking the shot) or with the commander seat 30 mil. I think it’s an amazing tank and the 30 mil is kind of like an AA cannon too.

[@todtod3192]

Finaly T14 Armata! I expected RHS team to mod it first but guess Arma team beat them to it this time! LOL Good DLC anyway!

[@DesertGhillie]

So it is the Armata. I thought it may be, so that's nice to hear I'm not the only one thinking that.

[@illuminati5121]

I knew it looked kind of familiar

[@ac69cx]

There is a Russia 2035 mod that already has it.

[@Igneous01]

Yeah the moment I saw the 3 crew members sitting right beside each other I knew it was the Armata.

[@WildFireGaming627]

hey if I get an Armata in RHS I don't care if they claim its there model.

[@tuskegeeace2840]

1 tank, a tank destroyer, and armoured scout. "Arma 3 Tank & Friends" would've been fitting.

[@jester7585]

Arma 4 alpha review build in your library huh? Why are you messing with my feelings like that drewski?

[@XpeditionXD8]

This is my favorite DLC Arma 3 has made BY FAR!!! XD Love tanks so much, they're my favorite part of the military overall, and now I can finally get a sense of what it's really like to be in one! Great video.

[@jedisaki730]

I love it when the Arma 3 campaigns start "Arma-ing" like shit will just blow up or objects will clip into each other so much that they clip out of existence. This is why I play Arma, for its "realism".

[@froschnmaximus9108]

The DataLink works also with other vehicles/tanks, not only aircraft. btw: the recon mini tank (Nyx) has a radar for air and graund targets - together with the other variants a nasty combo^^

[@VoidplayLP]

honestly, a recon Nyx and a Rhino MGS could probably take on as many tanks as the Rhino has ammo for.

[@lucieloba3727]

2:42 this vehicle remember me from EE-17 sucuri, from brazilian army, good times, we miss you, engesa... soo many good vehicles, tamoyo, osório.

[@Worthiestnobody]

probably my favorite DLC besides APEX to come out, the Armata, The Wiesel, The Rooikat and the MAAWS Launchers, gonna be a goodtime in wasteland if i ever get around to playing it again.

[@projectnemesi5950]

Are you talking about the update or the DLC, there was basically nothing in the DLC it was all just the free update.

[@Worthiestnobody]

the content

[@icarus9661]

They added a bunch of AT technicals, a AAF artillery vehicle, and some new rocket launchers aswell.

[@h1tsc4n40]

Soo... in a DLC called "Tanks" theres only one OP main battle tank (CSAT obv, because biasing for OPFOR is what cool kids do today), a minuscule two-seater coffin, and an AFV that was not really needed since it's the same thing as the Marshall? Uh... that's disappointing.

[@fredrik8500]

Tanks for this video.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

IDK why I'm rewatching this years later, it just popped up on my recommended videos and I watched it again.... just like to say, god I have fond memories of the Nyx...it and a couple other veey light armored vics were the only ones available for purchase on this phenomenal Exile Mod server I used to play on years ago, and seeing as I really only played Exile, it was my first "tank" I ever used in A3... absolutely loved that little dude, especially because the map used was Tanoa at the time, and you know how jungle ridden that gorgeous map is, it was a fantastic purchase for doing the missions solo 😅 (even though I mainly used it for transport to and from the missions and jumped out and did them on foot 🤣)

[@soulshard6622]

M2A4 looks like a MK4 Merkava with the engine at the back

[@mumpetwombat822]

Still a annoyed I don’t have a tracked IFV with 30mm for NATO and a proper MBT

[@G1NZOU]

Some people sleep on the Nyx, yes it's lightly armoured and heavy gunners of infantry squads can penetrate the armour and at the very least disable it, but when used right it's so nimble and can be the right asset in the right place at the right time. On an Invade & Annex server I play on I often see a T140 or an M2A4 on high ground overlooking the AO ready to provide support, with an AA Nyx a few hundred metres away to provide protection. As a hostile vehicle they're sometimes tricky to deal with especially with unguided rockets if they're on the move, because they're so speedy, easy kill if they're stationary but if they're firing at you and doing circles around you they can be really dangerous.

[@sir_potoo]

0:36 Like teaching a pet. AI is so cute.

[@McFearsome2]

Drewski.... you said that the T-100 was the overall vanilla winner "because of its ability to fire high explosive ammunition" as if that the Slammer doesn't have that ability...... you know that the slammer has HE in addition to the AP rounds, right?

[@NudeJawn]

t-100 is the boss, you must be missing something it has HE, HEAT and AP. + it goes up hills fast.

[@McFearsome2]

so does the slammer, was my point.

[@bobdickens3674]

If you look at it from a tank vs tank perspective, only firing AP, HEAT, and HE rounds makes these tanks incredibly weak. I do believe that most tanks at this stage no longer used conventional admiring piercing rounds

[@tubelitrax]

The idea of the Nyx is ˋlendˋ from the „Wiesel“ (weasel) of the German Bundeswehr.

[@robbedg2795]

Fun fact about the ankara or angara? An commander seat will gun down planes with ease

[@hook86]

LMFAO @ the beginning. PERFECT hahahaha

[@mr.challenger2355]

It's tracked not treaded

[@fiddlediddle6618]

Drew, have you noticed any FPS improvements in ArmA 3? Because I played almost the entire Apex campaign with 60 to 70+ fps

[@captainwonders7708]

THIS is why we look left and right when we cross the road

[@tacocat0436]

The t140 interior looks like youre sitting with your friends on the same bed playing games on your phones.

[@davidkeener5274]

Sweet! I'm loving the looks of that rhino!

[@AndyKraken]

So what's the ArmA 4 Alpha like? You should probably have blurred it (assuming it's under an NDA)?

[@DesertGhillie]

I'm fairly certain it's a troll.

[@PlasmaOne]

Damn. Thats pretty good.

[@OK-fi4yq]

Definitely a troll - why would an alpha be a review build (who reviews an alpha?)

[@Hachiae]

Its easy to say "its a troll" but i highly doubt that wasnt legit. Also they could be reviewing the alpha builds to make sure the game is going in the right direction and not end up a buggy mess

[@brendanberto-jones3352]

OK Dayz

[@minegamer5680]

Weasel is not a tank its a scout vehicle

[@doesitmatter1667]

*ALWAYS* LOOK BOTH WAYS DREW

[@KorianHUN]

Okay i have to admit it was funny when you called the 7.62 a cannon and the 30mm a machinegun... with a completely serious voice. I like the unedited raw feel of these videos.

[@mikaelwidlund4123]

Biggest question though.. will we have locational damage or just HP based tanks that explode after X hits?

[@Phagastick]

Mikael Widlund Both. While we have modules (Engine, tracks and so on) the tanks still explode after HP is depleted

[@snowewhite8386]

The AFV is a firesupport vehicle. It's to accompany infantry. It's based on an old German vehicle

[@simonschlachtmann6806]

WELL IT TOOK A WHILE BUT NOOOOOOOOW WE HAVE TANK INTERIORS

[@RecklessGenesis]

operation flashpoint ( the old one ) even had it .

[@vatanak8146]

the T140 is the ARMA3 equivalent of the t14 armata

[@loquas9741]

no shit

[@Tentacl]

Looks cool, how detailed is the armor and penetration system in Arma III compared with War Thunder? I'd really like a more realistic tank game, even if less graphically pleasant, but "health bar vehicles" I can't really take...

[@bryanmcmahon8593]

Havent even watched it yet, +1 for road kill. Always look both ways.

[@100mattc1]

That’s why you should always look before crossing the road

[@dave-ql2ri]

The MGS Rhino is based off of the Rooikat, an armoured vehicle from the '80s built in South Africa

[@greatvaluetom4493]

Bought this game today as it was on quite a unbeatable price. So I have a lot to learn, I know it’s a older game but people have rated this quite well. So from sim racing to war simulation there’s a lot to learn, got the Apex Version, with Tanks and Jets DLC

[@WazzaBrown]

can you use these tanks in Koth?

[@Jaroneko]

So... I know everything's bigger in Texas, but the NYX is _not_ the size of a Smart Car. You know what's roughly the size of the NYX? Tyler's Bronco.

[@ovuvuevuevueenyetuenwuevu]

The small Tank is the German wiesel 2 tank

[@hmswarspite1064]

I think it is the wiesel 1 and not 2 (i could be wrong)

[@ovuvuevuevueenyetuenwuevu]

It's the wiesel 2.... I served side by side with wiesel 1

[@tapiooftapiola517]

Hervorragender user name btw.

[@hmswarspite1064]

Herr Vorragend okay, you are the expert. :-)

[@user-th4hr9gt7t]

Herr Vorragend hast du americas army pipeline gespielt?

[@eragcon]

You uh, you forgot to mention that 30mm is only available for the t140k which is different from the regular t140, like m2a4 up kinda different, with cage armor.

[@Feldscher1039]

That AWC304 is basically a modern version of the german Wiesel MK20, it's a fun little thing and can be really devastating.

[@AllericEnslin]

It's quite cool to see a future version of an old South African tank :D

[@deathincluded3706]

so let me get this straight: nato gets this odd french amx looking tank, the aaf get the weasel which is not even a tank its the smallest tankette since ww1 to be produced and is virtually a death tin can, BUT CSAT ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT GET A FULL FLEDGED NEW MAIN BATTLE TANK? WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?

[@samuelwurster2899]

gil riv xaxaxaxaxa)))))))) western cry xaxaxaxax

[@thelonepainter4760]

I kno its bullshit! It would be nice to add some western tank.

[@BraindeadCRY]

Thats Arma 3. CSAT always gets the best equipment and most OP stuff. Bohemia simply expects the mod and mission makers to deal with it somehow and spend days having to reballance their missions every time Bohemia throws some new toys into the sandbox. Having the "big bad wolf" faction sounds nice and all on paper, but in actual gameplay its a massive pain in the ass and we all hope they scrap that idea in Arma 4. We want ballanced factions not this shit.

[@nokokusovai4415]

CSAT have always had the most advanced equipment. Most of their shit outclasses everything the other factions have.

[@crusaderzero3984]

It is ironically that both the Merkava and T-14 had the 3D model with Active Protection System (Trophy HV, Afhanit) but only for decoration purpose.....LOL

[@TheMylittletony]

I can't even count the times where I thought 'where did my squad go?' and then find them dead on the middle of a road, run over by a friendly vehicle.

[@panzermkii7675]

Don't like the barrel clipping through walls.

[@jonnybab9142]

PANZER MkII thats the realism of ARMA 3 dude !

[@VoidplayLP]

thats a deliberate choice because physics can break when the barrels clip with certain objects, many mods do have barrel collision and it happens way too often that the barrel clips into one of those small stone walls and decided that you need a bit of "ballistic aerial reconnaissance"

[@Birdy890]

The best addition to it was something I suggested when Arma was in Alpha, that is, non-PIP view slats for vehicles. Reason I wanted them was because I knew the engine could handle them because we saw them as standard in Operation Flashpoint YEARS ago.

[@zilfondel]

Thanks dude! Very informative video, glad i preordered.

[@SpanishSurfer]

Hi Arma fan! If you have any interest in playing Arma as a combat simulator on a public server you should check out the BECTI server run by OFPS. Use the Arma launcher and search for OFPS and let it detect, auto download, and install the required mods before joining. It's a fantastic way to play Arma as it was designed. We support Tank DLC and add our own extras like ERA and LVOSS!

[@wiskeyranger1717]

Everyone go to 1.44 and check the game below A3

[@jackfinlind6896]

Wait, whatt?>?>?>??

[@agermangoose4797]

Probably a lil Joke

[@vermillion.__-_.]

The Rhino is a South African Rooikat, top speed 75mph.

[@duckman12569]

Very happy there's more aa options sadly the only KotH server close to me is down to light vics for vanilla

[@shkpotter9844]

Feels good to be back

[@corennet.6776]

Nice video! I'll be picking up the Bundle 2 as soon as I can! :)

[@s2korpionic]

The lack of physics modelling for that IFV's gun barrel is triggering me.

[@peter4210]

Can you now aim a APDS .50 at the seats and take out the crew of light tanks

[@Andrewza1]

King Peter depends on what you shooting but yes

[@ls200076]

Andrew Coetzee shooting BRITS

[@jasonirwin4631]

7:10 gopnik tank drift.

[@alfred9895]

Oh as if CSAT weren't op enough already.

[@userojwhdbs]

I dont think anyone saw that cool thing, but in the intro before the salient force mission, in the CSAT convoy part, you can see a tempest with the east wind device

[@reidarveroft1674]

Funny how in his steam library says Arma 4 Alpha - Preview Build V 0.51 sounds like Arma 4 is coming. Thanks for the tip.

[@Phagastick]

reidar veroft It is a joke

[@austinirwin9347]

I dont think so

[@Pine2142]

The sounds of those canons are ARMATASTIC

[@userojwhdbs]

Imagine if the Angara armor plates are made from some extraterrestrial materials. Maybe thats why they're secretive

[@ams4861]

How it feels to be back in Arma 3!?

[@Deses007]

so why exactly does only 1 faction get the beast of tank and Blufor still has to run the Slammer UP as MBT, gonna be fun aggainst the T-140k...

[@epion660]

To be fair, Slammer is based off either the Abrams or Challenger II, with the T-100 being based off the T-90. The new T-140k is based off the new T-14 Armata.

[@Deses007]

epion660 slammer is based on the merkava from the israelian Army tho

[@epion660]

Ah right, forgot about the merkava. Unless Israel developed a new tank, my point still stands. The T-140 only exists because russia made a new one.

[@ImperatorClass]

They could have added a vehicle like the Leopard 2A7, or the M1A2 Abrams SEPv3, which are all up-to-date tanks NATO has access though. They have severely weighted the tank battle now.

[@DrExeCelticHeroes]

tbh i dont think arma 4 was a troll... they said theyre working on A4, drewski is like the main Arma and military combag sim youtuber so why wouldnt he be invited?

[@Phagastick]

Dr Exe It is a joke

[@aandersson650]

How does armour work? Can shots be stopped and deal no damage? Is it sections with hitpoints? Is it closer to war thunders or world of tanks?

[@imgae9796]

Woah arma is still alive

[@charlieredleg1582]

Drew ski and his brother are my heroes.......of course we are all Texans so.....I guess I'm biased

[@vimana6226]

Hello. Tank singleplayer. How do you set how many meters the cannon's range should be ? The T button measures the distance ? But where, how set distance for cannon ? What button should I use to set the distance if the meter showed 1000 meters ?

[@Tora1337]

Realistically speaking, that's a bit bigger than a full-size SUV, not a smart car. It just looks like a smart-car, if a smart-car were a tank.

[@kebman]

Now _this_ is a preview!
