"THE BRITISH ARE COMING THE BRITISH ARE COMING!" -Abual Revere

[@supermonkeywtf09]

I really love how you guys have multinational scenarios like the British forces and Rhodesian forces, keep up the brilliant variety!

[@ShizukuSeiji]

Amazingly realistic. When you sneaked around behind and then took out that OPs team was one of the coolest things I ever saw in a computer game. 10/10.

[@ReverendTed]

Wasn't a sniper team in this case, but it's got me wondering...I've seen enough of your videos to know that you'll go full bloodhound on snipers, but not enough to be sure that no one's ever baited you with that knowledge. That is, has anyone ever posted a "sniper" in order to draw you into a trap?

[@Kevinofrepublic]

I love how realistic you guys keep it, using proper terminology (well it sounds right to me, who knows if it's truly proper) and just the overall realism to it. That's why I keep coming back to your videos/

[@Intrepidus.]

THIS is want Bohemia Interactive Studios was thinking of, when they made their Mil Sim. Well done guys. Love this series Dslyecxi.

[@SamEEE12]

Nice work on the scout team; moments like that really get the heart pumping.

[@tpjones1013]

I had the thermals, We saw one lone man go up on to a hill. We believed it was Dslyecxi scouting for us. Turns out it was Warrior that I was watching and not Dslyecxi. Each scout had a scanning sector, I had the side opposite of where Dslyecxi's fire team was located. We had Beagle in the air telling us that there may be enemies near us, but he didn't see Dslyecxi breaking off from the rest of his team to come for us.We had a few problems up on that hill.. Dslyecxi of course being the worst one.

[@axtmann]

Wonderful examples of overwatch and maneuvering on the flanks. When that third observer backed up straight into your bush I freaked.

[@marleyharris4842]

Ah, this video. Been about a year or so since I've watched this. Been up all night watching your old videos.

[@Waaaghster]

Man that observation team had godly situational awareness. Wonderful sneak attack, that was super thrilling!

[@OakleyK9]

The radio he's using is a PRC-343. They are intentionally short range to minimize detection from distances. Effective range is about 500m.

[@Chorizo915]

I've recently come across your channel and am enjoying it very much. Thanks, and keep the videos coming!

[@Nitchevo123]

Awesome work! I didn't even see the third guy in the bush until he almost backed up into you.

[@Vaios1981]

i like that the game simulates the sound travel delay of the blasts

[@vVulle]

feels more like a high value movie than footage of a gaming session .... great content...

[@9mminmyhand]

exactly. I had a lot of enthusiasm because I was the first one to see your great video. see that everyone, Dslyecxi got my back.

[@Aldurinian]

would it be possible for you to record in a way that doesn't cut off the bottom? It's cool to see the full squad arrangement and the bottom part of the "who's alive" list.

[@DudokX]

Dslyecxi I just found your channel yesterday and I cant stop watching your videos! I never seen so great cooperation in any pc game or simulator. Arma II feels like real action I see on videos from Afghanistan. I am have to buy better pc and try it myself with some clan.

[@OttScott]

The GPs close in was a great idea. Totally stealing this.

[@wraitholme]

Awesome stalk there, brilliant! :) The text comments are great, nice to get into your head in those silent moments.

[@ReplyNI]

Muffled radio is when their radios a reaching the end of their range or in a valley casing interference. That's the 343 standard radio for taliban.

[@MrT418]

Watching this video convinced me to finally break down and buy ARMA2. Excellent gameplay as always, man.

[@santaman2346]

Something I've wondered whilst watching yours and other videos by ShackTac, are you allowed to take gear from the enemies corpses such as their weapons? In this video you took their binoculars was that all you were allowed to take or was that all you needed?

[@BlueInumaru]

2 30 in the morning, watching shack tac vids cause their awesome, nuff said..

[@Egotisticsoup]

I was shitting bricks for you half way through with that scout team! GG man

[@Djentard]

I've read about your opinions on scopes/snipers, but do you EVER use snipers in your missions? Or even have mission sessions that focuses on taking out a high-value target or something similiar? Or simply having 'enemy' (defending) marksmen in your adversial sessions. I know not letting every member of the mission use scopes on their rifles is a good thing to do, but never employing snipers leave out some scenario possibilities.

[@picnicman209]

Thanks for the video dslyecxi, I really enjoy watching Shacktac play games and such. Also, will you guys be doing some Guild Wars 2 by any chance? It'd be awesome to see the whole shacktac team in a guild or something. lol but anyways, luv ya dslyecxi

[@Skyfox94]

i think thats the decission of the mission creator. Sometimes picked up gear - like the thermal binocs - can be usefull, and sometimes it can bring you into a bad situation, especially if you have to trust the tracers, which - if you don't know it - are green for OPFOR and red for BLUFOR

[@pwngo]

Do you do any kind of small scale playtesting on scenarios before they're played with dozens of people? Who designs them?

[@SigmaticSkippy]

Holy shit that stealth mission on the sniper team was intense.

[@Shogojagamokototo]

This would be a perfect example video for someone trying to explain the 4 F's. Wonderful to watch.

[@RadeUeMasq]

Hey Dyslexi, is there any camouflaged robes for militant units in arma? ISIS/ISIl which ever they want to be called have digital camo robes for their units obviously for better combat ability & stealth, just wondering if they are availibe in arma or just plain robes like civillians?

[@Bashaza]

Only with the Expansion Pack. There has been a Bundle Pack for like 20 pounds all over the place with Operation Flashpoint Cold War Assault, Arma 1 and Arma 2 Plus all expansions Like the PMC's and British

[@c4blew]

You really have a talent for sitting in the same bush/tree as the enemy! I would have died from a heart attack already several times! :D

[@chronicking100]

Dslyecxi, have you ever noticed that some maps are in almost complete darkness regardless the time of year or weather setting? do you have a solution or answer as to why if so?

[@moistcurtains]

You have an awesome voice for narration.

[@soldierorsomething]

i just finished watching ur last vid, and heres a new one, NICE!!

[@Battlelabstudio]

Radio. Wish you grabbed a radio.

[@deathbros100]

lol how did the sniper team have a thermal scope but didn't see you guys?

[@The1RlyShadow]

Do you have it to where you can't use third person? or you just don't?

[@123hahadie]

Holy Sheeit. My heart was pounding when he took out that OP.

[@triggerdude]

Oh ok thats cool i never though this game would put a real life comm problem like that in a video game i am glad they took there time to make this a good mil sim game. Thanks for making such great movies

[@MyShadowstrike]

Yeah, the scout team on the hill were using L85A2's, you can see them in their inventory

[@matrin2]

So was that it, did you guys take out all the attacking BLUFOR?

[@OrgyMeyer]

Nice capture of the enemy thermal. I was wondering why no mortar calls when you spotted 5+ enemies on the hill? Too close range perhaps. In any case you cleaned those guys up with grenade launchers. Nice work either way :)

[@azd044]

is there a point of view from bluforce side??

[@Kristian1944]

It depends on weapon you're using, not wheter youre friendly or hostile. 7.62 weapons often have green tracers, 5.56 are red, there might be some others I don't know about, but those two I'm quite sure about

[@_TestBot]

quick question: don't all tracers have the same color irl? not complaining, just interested in knowing.

[@yabuki_joe]

Is the hud cut off for anyone else or is that just the editing?

[@LB-uw5cy]

Published on Sep 9, 2012 - Is there a connection between the name of this video and the date? Anyone?

[@ppitm9]

Does anyone know how to download this map? I can't find a version that doesn't require ArmA: Queen's Gambit

[@patneary8345]

if you take a enemy map will it show their placements?

[@solidv2]

it would be nice if the briefing had its own musical score, like in ace combat

[@tubeaccmhaaa]

the jump on that sniper teams was awesome :)

[@RoundenBrown]

Dslyecxi taking out three-man sniper team = Fucking bad-ass.

[@BritishNova]

How come its so bright at night time?

[@RedSntDK]

While it was made easier using rather hi-tech equipment from talibans side (echelons) this was absolutely insane. Heart racing up to the moment of kill. I thought you were going to drop a nade and then leg it or spray towards the third guy you hadn't spotted.

[@DanielBenCohen]

How many people do you get in these games?

[@METristan47]

What map was it that you were playing on?

[@Russiansism]

Was that guy's mic just messed, why did it sound so scrambled?

[@Tommy1marg]

acre combat radio mod

[@callumchippendale]

Why is it snowing!? or isn't it?

[@obeastness]

some error on their part, but I wouldn't say they were a fail team, definitely an outclassed team though. experience, combat awareness and presence of mind are your three best tools in arma, it's very possible that dslyecxi was actually spotted earlier by them but they did not engage because the believed they were hidden and safe. by using geography to his advantage he was able to flank them, their biggest mistake was thinking they were safe and that they wouldn't be spotted.

[@Nate38Omega]

I've seen a couple of videos where you took out snipers by sneaking up on them with a spotter giving you their movements, but I never see snipers actually employed by any team in your longer videos. I don't really play Arma 2 much, but I think if someone attached a sniper to a squad, and used the squad as security when he goes to shoot, the sniper might actually be effective. For example you wouldn't have had to run all the way up that hill if you had a sniper attached to the team.

[@Est8sArt]

What is it that you always play as Opfor?

[@NotHisRealName]

Are you able to capture enemy radios and exploit that?

[@mccoyisthebest]

my heart always pounds whenever you are close to the enemy like with the sniper team. if its like that with me i dont even know whats going on on your end lol

[@TheShahaj]

what mods are u using?

[@santaman2346]

Okay cheers for the answer, I've just always wondered.

[@TheTallGuyNamedNat]

The ambush on the scouts was nerve wracking!

[@KinQQz]

can someone pls explain whats so special about QG ?

[@Bullveyr]

I guess the fact that the helo wasn't a priority target meens it wasn't a royal Apache.

[@DeusExDraconian]

ugh, I was pulling my hair out looking at how that sniper team was deployed. Laying down on the side of an exposed hill like that.

[@SwinburneSam]

why no scopes?

[@_TestBot]

actually in real life?! is this by accident or some sort of agreement?

[@MrGeremyTibbles]

That opening sequence was fucking intense.

[@juicebowl]

they are referring to enemy infantry.

[@chronicking100]

my god, I'm an idiot. I forgot about the different phases of the moon haha, thanks for replying, I've yet to play a decent mission at night because of this. Thanks

[@RoundenBrown]

"Oh, Taliban, oh Taliban! How steadfast are your defenses?" I lulz'd.

[@Spitfireflyhigh]

anyone else cant get battle-eye to install properly?

[@MrAdmir123]

Whats the map name?

[@George_Avgeris]

lol man..are you having 20km view distance? :D Nice vid(S) too

[@buk1237]

"Where's the third" "TJ do you see any heavy ei?" "You're doomed now muahaha!"

[@NinjaCowboy117]

As soon as I heard "Sniper Team" all I could think was, "Oh here we go again, another bites the dust" You would think after the videos you post, ShackTac members would be more aware of you hunting them down.

[@Xcal131]

damn, max we get in ours is likely 30-40 and thats only clan meetings, events like this gets what 20 or so max :(

[@adwardie]

why did u not pick up there weapons

[@MrPiipe]

You guys should, WvW is really awesome to do big structured PvP.

[@9mminmyhand]

thank you.

[@viperhalberd]

I've never watched videos of this game before but they're awesome. The bit where you got your teammate to relay info because you were in a valley almost made me jizz my pants.

[@triggerdude]

why does some of the radio traffic come in broken or are you picking up there signals and cant listen because of crypto?

[@Crimsen13]

i believe they can only hear the people talking when they are close but they dont do things like hack into enemy radios as it would make it to easy and as in real life would most likely if they captured a radio in real life they would just stop it from recieving messages if they believed it was compromised.

[@Alphapara]

Taliban had Dslyecxi. They'll always win.

[@josef733]

Arma 2?

[@ottis83]

Radios and all that equipment, you must have really rich patrons most likely from Saudi Arabia eh? :D

[@_TestBot]

well that's very interesting. thank you for sharing.

[@KristianKumpula]

The British... *puts on monocle* ...Are already here. *sip*

[@bb3xhrhj]

HAHAHAHA loved how you eradicated that sniper team

[@OakleyK9]

We have a rule against this in ST. It's seen as a "gamey" tactic. Take this mission for example; if Dslyecxi was really Taliban, chances are he wouldn't be able to understand the British infantry talking on the radio.

[@RedSntDK]

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. Shizzle is weird if you still haven't subscribed.

[@TimChuma]

Hahahaha. Reminds me of VespertineSurgeons video when they said they got attacked by a "Dslyecxi Zombie" that came out of nowhere.
