Driving Miss Daisy - ShackTac Arma 2

[@bitB3AR]

I love the charge in and reassuring "Chris on I'm on the way" when the little bird goes down

[@swforshort]

This is great. My dad actually trains soldiers in running convoys through dangerous areas in a virtual simulator, the funny part is that it's using the same engine just a lot less refined.

[@Pysgod13]

Herring bone is a pattern of setting vehicles into a protective posture. Basically each vehicle will go to either side and face out at an angle. It makes it easy for them to turn back onto the route of travel while making the covering of all sides possible.

[@Zaitzev82]

This is one of the coolest missions I have seen on your channel in a long time. Excellent video!

[@Turbeh1]

When it was just turning night and your littlebird went down and you had armor all around you. When those uglies came in a FUCKED things up . The intensity and visual effects were just awesome. By far my favorite bit a recording you ever posted.

[@leftoverjedi1]

"Rocks don't explode!" XD

[@64Martin]

When the convoy stops, the vehicles are supposed to peel off the road alternating left and right. It makes a kind of a herringbone pattern, hence the name.

[@izaan88]

God I love the fact that I now love these long-ass videos as compared to many months ago where I prefer short snippets of the actions in ArmA!

[@RoundenBrown]

Lord Technical, we thank you for this bountiful battle you have bestowed upon us. In Technical's, name, amen!

[@FaridG25]

I saw ur video on 1st vs 3rd person view and can see what you mean. With such a dedicated team and proper teamwork, not to mention excellent server (civilians unexpectedly throwing grenades? :)) , it would be a crime to use 3rd person! Thanks for the videos Andrew and looking forward to more!

[@javidaderson]

One of the most entertaining Arma videos i have ever watched

[@jonrd463]

Not Dslyecxi, but I was there. FTLs are very good about checking their teams to make sure everyone is accounted for, and this goes all the way up the organizational chain. No one alive got left behind.

[@TheSovietPenguin]

This could easily be a movie. Amazing as always!

[@OriginallyMyGroup]

I'm really bad at Arma, but i just love seeing you guys play.

[@Seve82]

1:00:51 Dyslexi saved a lot of lives by driving his medical humvee to cover briefing... which was in horrible spot to begin with. Or that enemy targetted his humvee and nearly wiped out that briefing as result.

[@NummiAFI]

Was planning on playing some videogames tonight, but it looks like I'm gonna be watching this.

[@Mugen867]

I love you Dslyecxi. In a totally platonic, never having met you way. My PC monitor is broken ATM, so I experience ArmA vicariously through your channel. You always deliver good content, and it always seems to be right on time.

[@BoogeyMan828]

My god you ST boys are so smooth. I defiantly see why ST is so big, you guys WAR harder than anyone else!

[@rafaelpagan4973]

Man i love watching this stuff and drinking a nice cup of coffee. Keep up the good work Dslyecxi.Awesome videos!

[@kashvanderhye8513]

I wish I could play with you guys! You've been a staple of my KZbin experience for a long long time.

[@okolepuka808]

its funny, lex, in the midst of watching a bunch of your videos, i thought there was a conspicuous lack of enemy grenade use, and was going to post a question about it--but lo and behold this episode has a village full of cal ripkin hadjis--i have new respect for Arma AI--lol

[@dt35591]

I almost fell asleep watching this, and that's not a complaint. This video is chill.

[@pro2g366]

so awesome! I love that videos so much this video is very nice, beacause you can see what happends behind the frontline - awesome stuff. I hope one day this will go on to Arma 3 - I will definetly play that!

[@TedBackus]

You saved their Lives with that Ambulance move, while their where twirling their hair in the middle of a fire fight.

[@foxforrest]

Every time the Littlebird passes overhead, your eyes turn skyward. Your heart no doubt longing for flight. Then a nearby truck blows up and you get back to the grisly business of stuffing a friends guts back in their body.

[@VFRSTREETFIGHTER]

The squad "photo" at the end made me laugh out loud! So classic!

[@adjboy]

1:00:50 "You didn't see that coming?" "You guys are fucking huddling around a gas station" Cracked me up! :D

[@Ostsol]

That grenade attack was freaky as hell. That's war crime bait, right there. 1:00:30 Yeah, bunching up all of the command elements in the open isn't a bad idea. Twenty seconds later... Nope! That _is_ a bad idea!

[@SGTcz90cz]

They're vehicles with improvised armament, such as offroads with Dushkas, SPGs and the like. The word comes from when humanitary aid companies had to order "Technical help" from local mercenary bands to protect their convoys - with vehicles with improvised armaments.

[@DrCoconut465]

This was the most entertaining think I have watched in a long time...

[@rhodrick959]

I was just thinking what today needed was a new arma video and here it is, and its a long one. I know what I am doing for the next 1:20:35.

[@Itsamemario0510]

Kilroy is that guy that nobody understands but everyone loves. He's also currently dead, descending into Hell, battling Satan, and plans on sharing news of his success when your download of Diablo 3 changes to include Kilroy as the last boss.

[@NexTheCheeto]

If you watched Dslyecxi you'd realize his videos are some of the best and Shacktac is one of the best. Why? Because their main motto is fun.

[@JumpingJellyMan]

I like how dslyecxi treats every member with the same amount of respect, shows how good of a leader he is #DslyecxiForPresident

[@joeyg1331]

"platoon their throwing rocks, civilians are throwing rocks" "Rocks don't explode!"

[@Itsamemario0510]

Well, there are several mods that are in use here. ACRE adds the radio stuff and once you get used ACRE it's honestly harder to play without it. ACE is what makes it so much harder, coupled with the tweaked AI.

[@pkisbest]

@bendikn ejecting can be done at any speed but that will force you to continue with the momentum

[@shiftyslc]

Great leadership. Hope to see you upload some gameplay soon.

[@aRatherScottishChap]

no matter how far apart dslyecxi and beagle are they always find a way to be together.

[@RhTank2]

you have good points. but if he does have a second monitor with the chat open then he could interact with the chat at those times of no action. But i leave it up to him. i would be interested to see it non the less even though it my be boring. Just so that i can truly appreciate the amount of work goes into the missions and the organization.

[@MajorProblem42]

Why are SPG's the most terrifying? I think autocannon fire takes the top position. Nothing like the rip-and-crackle of some 20mm shells to smarten you up!

[@PseudoGoSu]

I remember I was trying not to fall asleep when playing this because it was so early in the morning! :P

[@larryfontenot9018]

Drive 100 meters. Run into enemy. Spend next 15-20 minutes fighting off waves of enemy while trucks sit idle. Rinse, repeat. ...I sure hope there weren't any perishable goods in the supplies they were carrying. >_

[@Slowrider8]

This is ArmA 2. Basically all of the videos Dsl puts out will be in ArmA 2, unless stated otherwise.

[@ExtremelyEpicz]

I always enjoy watching logistics in arma!

[@CanadianWolverine]

Special events to watch for: 1) Civilians throwing "rocks", 2) A technical explosion that is no harm no foul, 3) Beagle is sorry on film, 4) Now you're cooking platoons with gas with a sprinkle of Wambulance Shield service, 5) "Wake The Fuck Up!", 6) Hard times in Little Bird High, 7) Run for your life.

[@seraphimlance]

Thanks, man. Your stuff gets me through the long night shift at work between people trying to kill me and police stand offs. There's never enough. I wonder what happened to Kilroy. Barely uploads anything.

[@Itsamemario0510]

SPG's just keep coming... Autocannons are generally in short bursts, and you can't exactly be afraid when your brains are splattered on the surface behind you, so it's hard to be afraid of autocannons. :)

[@pkisbest]

@bendikn jumping out will turn the vehicles engine off,ejecting will not(I believe I'm not sure)

[@TookYoCookiez]

@1:03:00 "Cant sit here" HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA forest gump reference. nice.

[@KiwiForce123]

He makes sure people aren't left behind and is then left behind

[@SGTcz90cz]

He's alone in his team, I suppose. It is not present if you start as a "lone wolf team" until you join a team through Interact, or disappears once you're the lone survivor of your old team. You can test that out if you own the game, as STHud is available to public.

[@ProspektMir]

LOL @ 27:00-ish w/ the singing in the med hummer.

[@ProspektMir]

+Prospekt Mir 26:45 excuse me :)

[@Bullveyr]

Good call using your vehicle as cover but I would have loved to see the briefing get blown up by a RPG.

[@JiveDilletante]

I think this was the most exhausting mission I've ever played

[@Panzershreck22]

I'm pretty sure that was CHkilroy's video "Against the Red Tide".

[@bengacris]

"We are rolling" BIG HEAVY DEEP VOICE

[@GrimGearheart]

Dslyecxi, would you be willing to do a run through the helicopter showcase in ArmA 3? It's what I've been using to practice flying, and I can't seem to get the hang of those hill top base landings, Being able to pull off an accurate, speedy landing while having a big console blocking your view of the ground...I just can't wrap my head around it. I think a lot of people would like to see it.

[@CrimsonPhantom88]

Quoting the video description, "The mission shown is a coop (vs AI) on the Takistan terrain."

[@rally411tv]

I would love to see a player count if you knew it on how many live players were playing each game. Gives a good idea of the scale and makes it more exciting.

[@StrawberryPidgey]

when your videos are 45m-1hr+ long if you watch one a week it's like a TV show these are so nuts lol

[@Itsamemario0510]

"We've got the Pentagon's top 'cryptologists' working 24/7 trying to figure out what the fuck you just said."

[@TheRockboxable]

The mission shown is a coop (vs AI) on the Takistan terrain.

[@kazapowa]

Good video as always Dslyecxi. Which ACE version do you use in ST?

[@RhTank2]

Have you ever thought of streaming some of these missions? i know you may want to give the best parts of the missions which may be the parts with the most action (some times) but i would be interested in seeing these missions from start to end if you streamed them. Just a though.

[@TroubleShotGaming72]

Okay, thanks, ill be sure to try them both out

[@pro2g366]

same Problems here - and it repeatedly stops at the end (it fully loaded the video minutes before) - 480p was the only way to see it till end

[@joelcox5801]

1:18:39 Dslyecxi should have said over the radio "this is what I get for caring about you guys"

[@1NF1D3L1TYGAMING]

Hey Dyslecxi, can you mark where the first contact/shots fired in your session videos? Thanks!

[@LordOfThePasta]

Out of curiosity, how much friendly fire goes on during one of these missions. One would think that even with all the organization that happens beforehand, there would still be some friendly fire, given the sheer scale of everything going on in the mission.

[@TroubleShotGaming72]

you should do a video all about using the editor, mainly how to control the AI.

[@SGTcz90cz]

I'm propably not the best person to answer... But if you're not using ACE and ACRE up to this point, you're doing a mistake. They both add loads of immersion, though you won't give ACRE any use if you're not playing in a group.

[@8thlvlMage]

Dang it Beagle! This is why we can't have nice things!

[@nomad8723]

Dslyecxi, do you use your pedals to steer, since it would be really smooth and it is the same yaw axis or do you use it as break and throttle/gas like a real car?

[@juicetang5079]

Hey Dslyecxi, can you dynamically speed up and slow down? Like a real gas peddle. Maybe with your rotter peddles? Hitting W in short bursts to drive slowly is jittery and generally doesn't work for me.

[@pkisbest]

@Dslyecxi I have an awesome idea for a fun mission, the best sniper you have in shacktac vs everyone else that joins, the sniper and M107or AS50 with rangefinders and Binos with NVGS in ruck. The snipers obj is to survive and kill as many people, everyone has to use skills to find and kill sniper(sniper should have no tracers or very little)

[@aussiemilitant4486]

Agreed, while i enjoy some of the content in his videos, its mostly his attitude/ego/personality thats off putting. His mate Upchuck is more humble and viewer friendly. But Dslyecxi and his band of brothers in ShackTac all seem to have the right attitude.

[@andyelephant1999]

Are those the default textures for the soldiers at the beginning? Because, they do not look like it, and am wondering what mod it is, if there even is one, you used for the textures.

[@mrjojo1995]

Hey Dslyecxi! What do you think about adding how many players there are within the missions, it would give you a better view on how big the scale of the mission is, just a thought.

[@hiddenalliance11]

Dslyecxi, Is this an early full team play with the new recruits? I mean seriously, who does a "squad meeting" in the middle of the street in front of the truck lights . . . in front of a gas station . . . and keeps on doing the meeting AFTER getting shot at . . . . WOW. Also, W/O you in the chopper . . . Looked like you were helping bring up the new recruits . . awesome vid though and looks like the team (for the most part) works well together . . . always good stuff . . . thanks . . . :-)

[@Dotzek0n]

wow nice gameplay guys i felt like it was the real deal

[@NeoFromTheMatrix2399]

Dslyecxi when there is a new player, is there a steep learning curve or do you guys go through a lot of training with them so they can get used to it and actually be able to play well?

[@DrunkenSandgroper]

hey dslyecxi, do your rudder pedals double for accelerator in vehicals?

[@BlvckSheep]

Is that the video where you were trying fix your little bird while in-between 2 tanks?

[@DaBruzzla]

so...who was the leader of platoon 1 who used you as his personal driver? Didnt get that in the video. But the voice seemed very familiar

[@moltenlord2053]

Dslyecxi you should do a full mission video from Project Reality, I'd love to see it, and I've noticed not many people have full mission videos.

[@NikolaiPetrovski]

Do u uses your CH pedals for controlling Hummvy also?

[@FrankieHustla]

Hey Dslyecxi, any chance we can expect an ArmA 3 version sequel to the "Beagle VS Dslyecxi Trailer Montage" video? ;)

[@KharonFL353]

Dslyecxi, have you taken a look at the CMS mod?

[@Itsamemario0510]

Kilroy put something in his blog that you'd have to read yourself to really get a kick out of, but more or less says "I'm busy, sorry folks." Apparently he's okay, though.

[@TheTremblane]

Lost it at the musical interlude (26:40).

[@kripto2029]

hey dslyecxi are you going to do a mission with the new uavs?

[@TomStick91]

A bit of a random question, but can you customize how your player looks?

[@BaliAgha]

What is Shack Tac's plans, if any, for Arma 3?

[@fighting17chicago]

Haven't seen the Fraggin AI before.... that's kinda scary

[@CHRIS1155111]

is it an add on or mod that lets you repair or is it a server setting?

[@Roberticus101]

The enemy were all AI, it says in the description

[@foist101]

"Civilians are throwing *KABOOM* rocks or so- *KABOO-KABOOM*" "Rocks don't explode, th- *KABOOM* are grena- *KABOOM*." "*KABOOM* Yeah they're thro- *KABOOM* rocks or something at us. *KABOOM*" "THEY ARE GRENADES." *Over the radio* "Roger civilians are throwing rocks or something at us." NJP that man. ಠ_ಠ

[@Tiranozauras]

Just like the description says, this is coop - friendlies are all real players, hostiles+civilians are all AI controlled.

[@amuddypizza]

Perhaps he didn't know where Kilroy was/what fate had befallen him.
