The Most DARING PvP Helicopter Raid Ever Attempted

[@karmakut]

Share the video with your friends if you enjoyed it and let me know what your favorite part was in the comments!! . . . . . . . . . . . Spoilers----------------------- The problem we had with this event was the code to keep OPFOR limited to 3-lives was broken, so while we expected a certain amount of enemies, they ended up having an unlimted amount of ammo and manpower! You can see how that went!

[@REDACTED1-1]

So they basically cheated?

[@karmakut]

not cheated, code breaks, arma is jank, op was still amazing

[@TEXASREDD76]

I’d love to see more opfor gameplay actually

[@aleksanderlenartowicz5659]

@@karmakut I thought it was planned but kept out of BLUFOR knowledge. Turned out awesome. Those things (intelligence failures, bad luck, botched operations) happen. Loved watching how you reacted to the situation.

[@liquidsnail7305]

The 3-lives being broken added to the story so much! The slow feeling of being overwhelmed against an unstoppable force felt like a genuine mission going badly wrong.

[@ahuman2954]

I bet bohemian interactive must be in tears after realizing that how much their product is capable of , they must be so obliged and thankful to Karmakut

[@RealCadde]

I have to point out that their product would be nothing without this community, both in terms of the players making it REAL and the content creators making their reality REAL. BI is one helluva developer and they've made a solid platform ever since OFP. And ever since OFP there's been a dedicated following completing their work and making it happen, together. It's really sad that there's so few in this community. Imagine what this could have been with a world spanning community, each locale capable of bringing up whole companies of able, willing and free players to participate in events such as this one.

[@vagrant1515]

@@RealCadde I think it'll get there one day. I think the biggest drawback is how unmodern Arma is. Like there's no experience like it, but there's also a lot of jank you have to live with to get that experience. But thats only going to get better with time and technology. And seeing how easy the modding tools have been to use compared to the last one, I can't wait to see how Arma 4 community flourishes. It'll take time to get to where we are at today with Arma 3 in terms of content, but I think it will get there quicker, and with much more possibility than we ever imagined in Arma 3.

These have such an authentic feel. Way better than your guy’s PVE operations. Would love to see other types of mission sets like a hostage rescue or HVT kill/capture.

[@sayjack1328]

Ive played in a few milsim groups through out the years, small and large; super serious to super laid back. NONE of them even come close to this. This is what Arma3, on a milsim level, what every milsim group should be trying to achieve. The lulls as much as the action parts are all down to near perfection and the story honestly comes full circle nearly every operation. I honestly can not describe what this was like to watch. It had everything youd want as a player to have in it. Long Range engagements, CQB, medical, bounding and movements under fire, CAS runs, aircraft being hit, ISR and so much more.

Again you have absolutely nailed it. It may be a game but damn the amount of immersion and intensity this has hits me hard. Seems close to being real as it gets.
