Basically... Survive! - ShackTac Arma 3

[@headrockbeats]

You know that feeling where an hour and a half ago you checked your sub-box and there was nothing good in it, so you went to watch something else, and now you check your sub-box again and there's a new epically-long Dslyecxi movie uploaded an hour and twenty minutes ago, but now it's too late to watch it? So, that feeling.

[@Chambers1094]

And then you watch it anyways :D

[@gordon9821]

FUCK, it's 3:30AM.

[@JohnMcMahon.]

That's exactly what happened me last night.. So, here I am tonight, a bit earlier, locked, loaded, ready to roll.. 😉

[@headrockbeats]

Worth the wait. :)

[@dapenguin2]

Read this at 3:22am feeling exactly the same :|

[@the_christopher]

All I can say is: wow. Seeing this gives a whole new insane perspective on how intense the mission was on all fronts. In hindsight, this was definitely one of those nights I can proudly state happens "only in ARMA".

[@cr4y0nb0x]

Have you seen Dslyecxi's "Fire from the Sky" video? That video displays the sheer immensity and intensity of some of these operations ShackTac runs. It's a similar mission as this but Dslyecxi is flying air support.

[@jukahri]

"In hind sight" The worst kind of sight.

[@the_christopher]

+Jukelo I'm sorry, I can't tell if that's a pun or not.

[@ccapwell]

The Hind is a Russian attack helo. To be in the sights of one would be bad.

[@the_christopher]

So it was a pun. Sorry, there was literally no context for that. Like the pun came out of nowhere.

[@gelatinousturncoat]

That Autorifleman at the east gate laying in a pile of bodies... he made it all the way to the bridge and I saw his MG laying on the ground when Dslyecxi looked back. That was one SWOOD guy.

[@bingesleeper9107]

I don't know if I've seen anything that comes even close too how intense and amazing this mission was. Amazing video Dslyecxi!! Well done Kilo!

[@rist98]

1:32:34 Dslyecxi: "Heinz, Why don't you go first" Heinz (reluctantly): "Ok" I LOLd so hard.

[@TheSoldier0fortunE]

I lol'd.

[@express49]

ShackTac , The Movie (2016).

[@riverserose1980]

cant wait!

[@alanlawz]

you have put out a lot of great stuff over the years but this stands out as one of the best i have ever watched, awesome.

[@Solodice]

Wow this mission had everything. Intense moments at the compound. Roll getting dropped off by little bird to help get in contact with company and guide in the little birds. The BMP and Dslyecxi having a stare down and having Dslyecxi win. That little bird just pouring round after round covering the last of the company coming across the bridge. Some tragedy with Panda and Heinz (he died on the bridge, I saw the black helmet and his MG).

[@wgoulding]

I have to say, I think that was one of, if not the best video you have ever put out.

[@Qarlo99]

Every time I saw Dslyecxi looking up at Reaper, I imagined him mournfully singing, "Yo ho, yo ho, a pilot's life for me." : ] And Roll's arrival made me think of the last reinforcements arriving at Dien Bien Phu.

[@Wagnersuperior]

I laughed when you hopped in the truck and exchanged glances with the driver and said "hey" in the most nervous way. Followed by "Contact right close"

[@BountyOben]

I'd love to play this game with the level of immersion you guys have.

[@ThePsychopath13]

Unfortunately with the timezone's it's pretty hard for some of us to jump in, otherwise trust me, I would apply ASAP

[@funnydavid2007]

I feel like Dslyecxi and his squad should be singing a cadence while on the run, you know to lighten up the mood while running away from impending death.

[@Zues120]

How calm cool and collected you guys were was nuts. From a mission standpoint, was that a custom built compound(The First one, anyways)? Or is that somewhere on a map. I haven't made the trip to all the places on all the islands E: Having finished watching this, fully, this is probably my favorite upload from Dslyecxi in 2016. The entire thing, wall to wall.

[@squeaky.landmine]

Nope, that's default on the map. Sebjan, near the mine, but not the actual mine compound.

[@Scoodlezz]

This is honestly the best video you have posted in my opinion. This was great.

[@cr4y0nb0x]

Holy cats, what a trip! Stupidly had a cup of coffee at midnight so I couldn't really go to bed and I see this nearly 2 hour video and thought, "well I know what I'm doing now". Thank you, Dyslecxi. Not a dull moment as you compound-hopped!

[@thebr00klynz00]

they should introduce tripping in this game, have someone rolling down the mountain

[@Sovietskikh]

Nah, the less random bullshit the better.

[@erikketelhut3722]

There's enough random stuff happening as is. I regularly see tanks flying around after lightly bumbing ATVs. On time I actually drove an ATV into an enemy tank (dunno why I did that) and since I was Zeus, I afterwards witnessed that Tank get catapulted all the way from the Main Altis Airport to the Salt flats in the East.

[@zcxvasdfqwer1234]

thebr00klynz00 lol arma 3 goat simulator dlc

[@TheSoldier0fortunE]

Lol i was thinkig that, just see a giant snowball go rolling past you getting bigger with an arm still holding a rifle sticking out of it.

[@robomaster20]

great video as always, showing how squad leaders fulfill their roles in this game *cough*

[@whyme943]

hey dslyecxi. it would be really awesome if you could get a list of people in shack tac who put out videos. I love seeing different perspectives on missions.

[@QemeH]

Wait... is this, where the story began? That truck driver picking up Dslyecxi is clearly CraneSong!

[@TarnishUK]

Hands down one of the best Arma 3 videos I've watched, sort of 13 Hours and Lone Survivor combined. The Mi-8 Hip and BMP were the stand out moments without a doubt. Thanks Dyslecxi and ShackTac. 👍 :-)

[@snowyshowy2233]

sooo...... you found out who GP-ed the hip? cuz that was cool af!

[@MxYxSxTxIxCx]

Short video today :/

[@thewritingwriterof89]

One of your best videos, Dslyecxi. Watched it from beginning to end and it just kept getting better. Wholly expected that Mi-8 shoot-down to wipe you guys out. Awesome stuff!

[@houdiniairsoft157]

This was beautiful to watch. So sad when Panda died right behind you guys. Intense the whole way through, well done!

[@Th3R00k131]

Just imagine the silence....When all is done and dusted. Also that was an awesome mission. Love it!

[@Kgoozmooz]

awesome teamwork and communication guys! great mission! it was long but it was worth every minute

[@SirPandaHavok]

Rest In Peace, Kilo One.

[@TheSoldier0fortunE]

Oh man that guy with the comms coming in on the bird to find out the situation, this is like a movie hahaha

[@ALCAPWNER73737]

This must be after the events of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home with those walls being as see-through as they are.

[@dslyecxi]

It's an issue with ambient occlusion - I turned it off partway into the mission to remove the artifacts.

[@ALCAPWNER73737]

Great video anyway and please keep up the good work.

[@ezshifty]

yea that threw me off, i noticed the transparent walls when you were entering the first compound. Spooky Halloween effect

[@norseman2834]

"Horton Hears a Hip!" Things you don't expect to hear from Dslyecxi.

[@wraitholme]

This is now my favourite Dslyecxi video. It's actually unseated Silver Briefcase from the top :P

[@JohnMcMahon.]

5 months ago I watched this video and Im back tonight for more.. I loved this one.

[@gryffin6361]

3:00 How did you guys change the walking animation from the new standard Arma 3 walking with both arms on the rifle to the old Arma 3 style?

[@kurtizgamz]

If I am seeing what you are you can have the weapon in the relaxed or ready posture. Relaxed supposed to not use as much stamina, so those long tall hills we just go at a walk. Think it goes chilled out walking, walking, combat pace (gun up and able to shoot), fast walk/run (no shooting), and panic run.

[@Aardvark892]

What a nailbiter! This was intense. Thank you mucho for sharing this, and great job by your whole group! Very professional.

[@jamescasey3170]

Did Heinz ever ketchup?

[@Jarlerus]

Wow. That was epic! :D Intense from start to finish. It really built up at the end, and I got that "owh no, please not now"-feeling as you where running under all that fire!

[@FlinnGaidin]

Who fired that AT at the Hip near the end? That was an amazing shot.

[@squeaky.landmine]

I wonder why the compound walls are a tiny bit transparent?

[@devonpike]

Epic, and well worth the long video duration!

[@travelprint]

Just a shit-ton of epic. Thank-you all for everything you do. ☝

[@kay4x4]

Is that bluefor guy on heroin? He's so calm!

[@JohnMcMahon.]

Just cool as a cucumber.

[@arkitektbmw]

I enjoy watching you be squad lead. You are excellent at it, keep it up!

[@ninthshade7375]

"I have M855A1 magazines that do not work in our Colt Carbines!" "Wow!" Compatibility strikes again! :p It happens to us all.

[@Bomtaker01]

What Was up with the Walls around the compound? never seen that kind of bug before :/

[@JessyDoyle]

Whats the deal with the weird see through grey compound walls?

[@gaz3897]

A lot of interesting moments. I don't really know what to comment on specifically. My most important question at the end of this is clear. I think I saw him go down. but... Did Heinz make it?.. You can lie to me to make me feel better FYI.

[@T2Gibbon]

Idk what mod you use for the walls (@11:00), the bug with the shadows going through them can be fixed with "Forcenotalpha=1" named property in Geo LOD. (also mentioned in last sentence of community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=LOD&action=edit&section=2) Just saying in case you want to pass it on to the creators. The error you wondered about at 25:29 is likely also caused by this

[@Gretschory]

Dyslecxi made it throug the mission ... rejoice... especially after Taconic almost jinxed it ;)

[@69Dobby]

Fantastic upload ,great to see along one.Thanks

[@christolbert11]

Anyone have a link to the Namalsk terrain? There are a few on Armaholic and I am not sure which one is the right one.

[@Slipknotic3]

So after they escape the first compound, why do they just go back into another?

[@ThePsychopath13]

Does anyone else in the group record? I would love to see some of the perspective's of the Main Platoon as an added bonus to this!

[@theflyingfool]

wow! That was intense! One of your best, Shacktackers! :)

[@TimChuma]

You should be able to toboggan down those snowy slopes. ARMA mod?

[@1100MC]

This is so amazing. I want an angle from that little bird.

[@wgoulding]

So do I. The excellent flying displayed was a real testament to how well Dyslexci has trained ShackTac's Pilots.

[@AFOKHAOS]

Or how well they have trained themselves...

[@jukahri]

So who outside of Kilo actually made it out?

[@Sn4k3f1st]

this. fucking. mission. well done, better than 99% of action movies.. the last half hour got me nervous as hell, the bmp, the hip shootdowns (gp? man..), the overheated barrels of reaper.. wow. we're back, dare I say it, to arma 2 levels of global mission entertainment?

[@cup449]

Hey Dslyecxi did you ever find out if Hines made it? I would be pretty sad if he also got shot right before home.

[@jammart1]

wow arma 3 has really evolved over the years

[@buk1237]

Did Heinz survive?

[@IndyGuest]

Were these enemies all patrols or was this orchestrated via Zeus?

[@IndyGuest]

Hot damn, competent AI is competent...except when they waltz into the east gate ;D

[@dafrandle]

is there any videos of player from the rescuing group oh btw if i was the in this i totally would have pulled up a map of Namalsk on my phone or something and used terrain features to find out where we were

[@alfredhoenicke376]

*cough* breaking the immersion *cough*

[@dafrandle]

Alfred Hoenicke I CAN'T HELP IT DON'T JUDGE ME

[@sequorroxx]

2 hour vid. Welp, found my entertainment for the day.

[@TheSovietPenguin]

This mission was legendary.

[@tommy12345r]

Let's all be honest. Longshot was the hero of this tale

[@Mabalte09]

I love the "I LIKE TURTLE"

[@TheMuricanMerc]

Is the [SafeStart] script an in-house script for ShackTac? Been looking for a way to disable weapons at start and let them loose by activating a trigger. I just can't seem to find the correct conditions to modify

[@ninthshade7375]

Check out F3 Framework. It has a built-in safestart component that works similarly. F3 also has a wiki for documentation... further, there are a bunch of communities that have derivative versions of F3. Sometimes these are also publicly available with wikis for documentation. There are some options out there, just poke around.

[@JohnMcMahon.]

This was intense, 80-90% of the time, great video👊🏻

[@tomje7024]

What mod are you using for the M4's?

[@dave-3187]

WERE DID YOU GET THIS MAP PLZ

[@morgancross5481]

What an amazing mission, that had a little bit of everything! I'm curious, regarding the initial stand in the compound, do you feel that you spent too much time watching the western approach or do you feel it was necessary given the danger a large attack from that direction would have posed?

[@joshuamorrison9430]

Great video, got invested and wanted to see everyone make it out. Did this utilize Zeus?

[@liam9214]

When is the time line for these mission late 90s? early 2000s?

[@tomje7024]

Pedro with the kit they're using I'd imagine so

[@tomje7024]

What mod are those helmets from?

[@grahamd9707]

Instant classic, pour one out for Panda though.

[@WORLDINCONFLICTKING]

cool m4 set up what is that called

[@SprintRaCeR24]

If you dont mind, how many people play this with you(online)?

[@JonathanBaston]

58:25 "please step inside my office"

[@Sn0w1981]

1:42:00 would've be a perfect time for a jet to do a low pass and drop some napalm.

[@Saminator45]

those gray see through wall tho

[@FBH991]

Do you ever do similar missions to this at night?

[@WeiSwan]

What's with the gear? You guys supposed to look like old school delta or something?

[@SuperMegaCyrus]

The Deltaist of Delta yes

[@romullus3d]

That's f***ing movie! Watching it for a second time.

[@TimChuma]

Maybe standing on the giant propane tank is not such a good idea although I've never seen them explode in any ARMA videos?

[@danielerlach8221]

I'm going to have to watch this video in parts lol.

[@anter176]

how many fucking ei was there in that mission? jeez, but you made it!

[@CollinRon]

Holy crap what an amazing vid. Its these vids that make me with I had the time to commit to even trying to join Shack Tac.

[@dusk6816]

What mods are you guys using in every mission you are doing?

[@kurtizgamz]

Inside the 2nd link in the description is another link to all the mods

[@RandomCivillian]

Were you just listening a lot of the time in this? It looked like your movements were....unusual, this game. Was there something going on we couldn't see?

[@JumpingJellyMan]

I presume there was a Zeus placing the AI in this mission? Would u mind explaining dslyexci :)

[@dslyecxi]

I don't believe any Zeusing was done during this.

[@TeamPill]

how to do you get the AI to do what they do without Zeus?

[@luca04082002]

In the mission editor, scripts, waypoints and using the "synchronize" tool in the editor.

[@FirstDagger]

So much for STANAG NATO ammo ...

[@kungfutyla]

Hi there. I'm new to this channel (a friend recommended me) and I really like these videos, quite entertaining. Just one question, why do the models and what not almost seem like ArmA 2 if this is 3? Are these mods or am I missing something? I thought ArmA 3 looked better. Thanks :)

[@dslyecxi]

This is an Arma 2 terrain.

[@zozamex]

Namalsk which is the map they play on this video use a lot of arma 2 assets and S.T.A.L.K.E.R assets.

[@kungfutyla]

***** Thanks. It's great how you reply to fans :)

[@swish007]

taconic saying he's done that in real life is intriguing. i wonder if he meant he did that in a combat scenario.. i'm curious to know the details if so

[@dslyecxi]

No, he's not talking about combat. You can go outdoors without being in combat IRL.

[@swish007]

Dslyecxi hah ok.. i always half suspected you guys were mostly former combat vets considering how tight your game is (im exaggerating, but it wouldn't have surprised me at all if several shackers were ex-military)

[@JessyDoyle]

+Dslyecxi Depends where you live haha

[@viktorzhang4209]

I just love to set up a Dslyecxy video play in the background and then play some Eu4 game or soemthing. The best is when I do some actions and I just hear from my headsets how half of the squad just dies to a mashinegun fire

[@JohannVF]

Dslyecxi, are you guys using some AI mod? In your vids the AI is super-aggressive, and seems to maneuver separate elements pretty well.

[@noden5257]

They have custom AI settings.

[@MechanizedFantasy]

Death by a thousand compounds.

[@xSP3CTREx]

Great video!

[@JohnMcMahon.]

Why do I always read the comments before I watch ? . I need to stop because it's starting to feel like foreplay....💋

[@OriginalEric]

do you guys ever win these?

[@dslyecxi]

+ekenslow - Did you watch this to the end?

[@Dragonfire1321]

That *was* a win, they got the stranded squad out.
