Let It Snow - ShackTac Arma 3

[@Aardvark892]

Your videos in which you are the leader or commander of a small group like this (platoon or squad; sorry I don't know the terminology) are usually your best videos. Thank you again for sharing this!

[@stefanmcdiarmid7991]

I had a choice of this or Fury. Naturally this won hands down, lol! Really enjoyed Harrier's edit of the same, but being able to hear the radio's of what else is going on around really makes these amazing. Thank you for the fantastic entertainment!!

[@Diluted37]

Its so nice to see u as a squad lead again. I thinks its the perfect spot for you because you like to be up close in the action which a squad leader is but it also allows you to use your infinite knowledge of ARMA tactics :D (and ur a good leader)

[@MurderCrowAwdio]

You just gotta love those winter butterflies..

[@mintrose3399]

MurderCrowAwdio REALISTIC TACTICAL BUTTERFLY IMMERSION AI! SO REALISTIC YOU CAN FEEL THE FLUTTER OF WINGS!

[@Nangleator22]

They grow them hardy there.

[@BernardLangham]

and the bees. don't forget the bees.

[@TheMilkManCow]

That was the most American pronunciation of German names. "Brooshwedell"

[@gharretje]

Was doubting to watch some on KZbin or watch a full length movie. Decided to go with KZbin quickly before going to bed. Oh boy, 2 hour video. :P Ended up watching it in 2 sittings.

[@Danny_from_the_beer_store]

A rare sighting of the arctic butterfly . What a beautiful specimen .

[@gharretje]

1:24:08 "Many many bunkers" "Many more bunkers" "even more bunkers" gotta love "serious fun" somethimes

[@SeBeck]

absolutely love these long movies.

[@Qarlo99]

Into the fog--the wet, frozen fog. I had to add a layer of clothing to keep watching this. : ]

[@TheCsel]

intense mission from start to finish

[@emgex]

i fkn love your videos m8, the mission u play are very realistic and immersive.

[@leisergeist]

That map looks fantastic I wonder if it's possible to make the snow slightly higher than the ground, so it looks like you're actually "sinking" into it Another thing would be character textures slightly dusted with blown snow, same with tree trunks That's just being pedantic though, it's great in the first place, props to whoever made it

[@thifmaster1466]

playing is super tence but watchin is so boring

[@foist101]

Having seen another perspective, I was very excited to see how things wound up the way they did from your perspective in a command position. Hearing the command chatter always gives things an interesting perspective in contrast to being just the grunt with what they can see/hear or what their SL tells them.

[@jamescasey3170]

Where'd you see another perspective? I saw a little snippet from Taconic, but I'd like to see some of the action from other elements, particularly the Germans.

[@Paranomasia12]

Forgle Witts. German machine-gunner. watch?v=MlXLdT2m0ws

[@rampie00]

long video but love it! Keep up the great work! So exciting as well it is

[@seanhendrickson7627]

That briefing is like a list of things that are never going to happen.

[@ThatCanuck111]

damn was that the same smaw gunner the whole game? dude was dropping armor left and right.

[@esco5593]

I actually felt cold while watching this video!

[@kanpai44]

I half expected someone to yell "LEEERRRROOOOYYYYY JJJEEEEENNKKINNSS" as they ran across the field

[@r0b891]

Awesome Video, keep uo the good work. :D

[@gamesta5646123]

Dslyecxi, a founding member (or very early member at least) of ShackTac.... yet still only a SGT, I see you guys follow the Marine Corp promotion plan

[@daedalus-N7]

Hayden he is the creator of shacktac. and he stated before he doesn't like major Commander rolls (he doesn't find them fun). he prefers to either be a vehicle Commander or a Squad leader

[@gamesta5646123]

Jesse Roberts I was making fun of the Marine Corp system for getting promoted (it doesn't happen). it was a joke friend

[@nicholasratliff4379]

Hayden Corps*

[@gamesta5646123]

Nicholas Ratliff good job keyboard junky, feel good about yourself now?

[@BillNGX]

"Resup Disapllied" xD

[@thedrivewaypyrotechnics5262]

Dslyecxi can you do a HOTAS setup video?

[@joshboozer411]

I'm sure you've answered this a thousand times, but how do you design and run your missions? Is there a player acting as zeus or is it all prebuilt within something like the mission editor or MCC?

[@dannylopez9905]

"Weather Outside: Frightful"...

[@AAA9734]

But the fire at 1:46:30 is so delightful...

[@Inviting1word]

But since we have no Demo to blow, use the TOW, use the TOW, use the TOW.

[@TheCheezSlice]

this is great😂

[@ianhiggins462]

Kick ass Operation man!

[@Paranomasia12]

Alot of German units in Shacktac videos recently. I'm not saying that the release of a recent mod is connected or anything, but the MG3 is a nice machine-gun (not as good as the Bren though *wink wink nudge nudge*).

[@98LuckyLuk]

Yeah, the MG3 can't even win wars ...

[@buster9692]

V. Fletcher you can never go wrong with a good old bren though or a lewis

[@headrockbeats]

+V. Fletcher - Surely you mean that the _Spandau_ is a nice machine-gun. ;)

[@Wilzyy]

+V. Fletcher +Headrock Ah, I see Lindybeige viewers found Dslyecxi ;p

[@headrockbeats]

***** Why not the other way around? ;)

[@seanylewl]

Do you turn the cooling in your room right up when you do missions like this?

[@Dan0Dead0Or0Alive]

Are you more of an Elsa or an Anna Dslyecxi?

[@AZWZOfficial]

Clever

[@sherman3944]

What are the server specs and the average players you guys have? I'm really curious about the performance that can be gained with more expensive providers.

[@Diluted37]

While im unsure of the specs of the server I can tell you that the server can hold over 120 people and that you can follow this link dslyecxi.com/yt/ and it'll probably state it somewhere.

[@sherman3944]

It does not, unfortunately.

[@daedalus-N7]

hey dslyecix. i have a question, why does shacktac mostly use iron sights instead of Optics. i am guessing because optics would give that longer-range capability. making it easier in the missions. making the missions have less of that raw are we going to make it factor? anyways keep up the awesome videos

[@flipierfatalbina4757]

Jesse Roberts Magnified optics often make missions too easy, and firefights one sided against AI. In PvP, it becomes even worse cause the guys that get hit will get hit in first few shots. It's better for this style of arma to have less a view.

[@s4098055]

Good write up on it here - dslyecxi.com/shacktacs-usage-of-ironsightsunmagnified-optics/

[@FoxRazgriz]

I'm certain this will sound like a noobish question, but I cannot help myself: What weapons/uniforms mod is this? I know this group does a lot of in-house only kind of stuff, but I want to know if this is available to the community.

[@cameronsmart2049]

What map and mods is in this mission? is it just cup?

[@vanbeukenmans]

Great vid as always man. 1:19:00 has an awesome BoB "Bastogne" feel to it! Maybe someone here can help me with this? I'm was looking for an older vid, possibly on the same wintermap, at night, with a unit running convoy security. Featuring some great tracerworks and russian para's jumping from Hip's! Any idea?

[@shags1253]

What's the weapon pack called?

[@CyDoNgr]

how you get to spawn enemy units with custom loadouts?

[@anerbehlic1820]

Anyone knows which snow script was used?

[@ghaffir]

That is one beautiful map.

[@aliullah4653]

What soldier mod is that

[@harmandeepsingh6598]

what map is that

[@kennhua4311]

dumb question, what does MSR mean?

[@benswanson914]

usually Main Supply Route. shorthand for a paved or primary road. As opposed to ASR = Auxilliary Supply Route ie dirt or secondary road

[@GeneralGlitter55]

u see that smoke u see our friendly's pushing yeah its about to go down 1:29:38

[@johnathonerkkila6157]

Go Arma!!!!!

[@SUTTREKOPP]

Did you guys just do all the work, wile charlie and alpha slacked off?

[@stodlabua502]

hey Dslyecxi great video, and what map is this ?

[@BlueCaliber592124]

Winter Schwemlitz terrain.

[@stodlabua502]

ty CryWolf

[@supernaut6660666]

Did anyone else notice it was snowing INSIDE the buildings? Ahhh ARMA.....

[@Th3R00k131]

How well does suppression work against the AI Dslyecxi?

[@ymc227]

I know I'm not Dslyecxi but I'll answer your question, at least until he has a better answer. Default AI tend not to respond to suppression too well. There are sometimes cases of default AI running away or lying down when you light them up with a light machine gun, but it's not too common. If you use AI enhancement mods like ASR AI, Bcombat AI, or VCOM then the AI will mostly behave like their real-life counterparts, for example; A USMC rifle squad will not only react to suppressive fire but they will implement suppressing fire, flanking, etc. Also, the mods I listed above affect the AI's overall combat ability based on their faction type, like armed force, insurgents, special operations forces, etc.

[@Th3R00k131]

Central Government of North America That's pretty cool, I've been thinking of creating AI mods of my own but I guess that won't be necessary. cheers for the response!

[@ymc227]

No problem. I do encourage you making your own mod. You should take a look at the three mods I listed and you should make a "all-in-one" mod, if that makes sense and combine all the features to make the AI even better. If you ever do make a mod, please let me know.

[@Th3R00k131]

Haha that might be a while, but I'll try to remember and let you know.

[@PrimeBizzef]

It would be interesting to see a mission with a few squads of players with rifles and body armor who can't respawn go against like a squad of guys with pistols and no armor that can respawn

[@silentghoust]

Biggest fantasy is to see Shaktac invade a DayZ server. Start off with a spec ops element who just collect the supplies, then escalate to a platoon.

[@Diluted37]

That would be the best thing ever Just go into a mildly populated Wasteland or overpock server and freak people out with that :D You could probably even do it with a Life server??

[@guymanning2470]

At 24:15, you're supposed to lead the target, not tail it. :)

[@travelprint]

😀 ear to ear. 👍

[@999is666upsidedown]

1:36:35 fucking perfect. i.imgur.com/1u6tvPb.png

[@AndersEkbom]

1:03:10 Did he just...?

[@RmFrZQ]

You can be good in ARMA, but bad in CSGO. )

[@SuppliceVI]

Any German perspectives? Seems like they got their shit kicked in; I wanted to see if they were using the G-series rifles or the M16. Swore at one point you *could* see them as Bravo was pushing into the main town, and (though it might have been Charlie) I only saw US weapons.

[@alexmckinney5761]

It's versus AI so I don't think you'll get any from their perspective

[@Scathsealgaire]

The Germans were being relieved by American forces. The AI was Russians.

[@alexmckinney5761]

Ah apologies

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

In tents...

[@Darkdeity616]

Why is there no e-sports for this? Lol

[@RmFrZQ]

Matches are too complex and will take too long. Also could be boring to watch for someone, because at many points in the game just nothing happens.

[@tommy12345r]

Know do a zombie episode on this map
