"Prairie Fire has tons of aircraft" I don't know if you looked at the Opfor factions but they have a total of 1 Helicopter, the Mi-2, with a bunch of varients for pylon loadouts

[@BillyEatWorld]

Yep I know what you mean... I should have said PF focuses on Blufor aircraft and doesn't have much else in the way of vehicles.

[@lordcaoliki2168]

Tbf Glob Mob has enough aircraft, it just doesn't have a pointless amount of aircraft it has a cargo plane and a helo with a ton of variants. The germans have two helos and a transport plane again all have lots of variants.

[@kazuma-san4739]

It's funny how from a semi-futuristic game set in 2035, ArmA 3 has gone to a Cold War setting, in 3 years with its CDLC's. Altrought CSLA has some concerns (i believe they will improve it), GlobMob and S.O.G are really great, with some really nice quality content, and some nice new features (last update, GlobMob added a bridgelayer and a tactical nuke, for example). Sad thing is, that a DLC can be as good as it is, most people simply refuse to buy them, because they're paid and there is free mods outhere. Even nowdays, you strugle to find a server hosted in Tanoa for example.

[@williampaabreeves]

Operation flashpoint started in the cold war, arma 1 continued a similar setting with modern elements, arma 2 expanded that. Then arma 3 went full future due to legal concerns with the Greek government

[@Trve_Kvlt]

@@williampaabreeves Honestly one of my biggest gripes with Arma 3 is, even after nearly 3k hours in Arma 3, I still don't know if I like the game setting. Arma 3 had some of the best world building, but I wish they would've just basically turned the RHS mods into a game, instead of doing the whole near-future thing they did.

[@williampaabreeves]

@@Trve_Kvlt I think everyone prefers the settings based on real life or history. Mainly due to how much real equipment there is out there they could add, compared with the tiny amount they invented specifically for the 2035 setting. When I look at Arma 2 and the amount of stuff in the vanilla compared with the minimal amount in Arma 3. its just not enough stuff

[@MyILoveMinecraft]

Honestly I love tanoa. But the map has to many bridges, and holy shit when will ai be able to deal with bridges? Especially on modded maps like lingor (my favourite from the arma 2 days) have extreme issues with it. Try to get AI from the top right island to the main island I dare you

[@bannedinc.]

the 2035 setting would have been alright if it werent for bohemia copping out and giving the three factions almost the same retextured weapons systems, made even worse with the APEX DLC where the Chinese PLA are using retex'd Russian/iranian stuff instead of getting creative and giving them their own homegrown vehicles (the Y-32 Xian is a good example) the Qlin is just the singaporean LSV MK2, there was alot of missed oppurtunity on bohemias part

[@namename5109]

I have actually used this before seeing this video, cool to see it getting recognized.

[@almec5566]

ngl i subscribed the SECOND i heard u speak love ur voice XD

[@CraigGilliver]

Great video! Just subscribed to this mod, thanks for the head's up. Still don't understand why folks bitch about paid dlc though. The latest GM and S.O.G updates add even more quality and it's a fair assumption that CSLA will follow suit. The German F-4 looks amazing! Thanks again!!

[@relaxinglarry53]

Because people feel entitled to someone else their work

[@CraigGilliver]

@@relaxinglarry53 Yep. For nothing.

[@BillyEatWorld]

Absolutely. Also GM and PF are both a higher level of quality than most mods. CSLA not so much, but it's Gabreta map honestly I'd say is worth it on it's own. Probably the best eastern europe woodland map in the game.

[@Bagginsess]

@@relaxinglarry53 this. People can't grasp the concept of wanting pay for a project that could easily take 100-200+ hours of work, and IRL that would equate to a month of work.

[@CraigGilliver]

@@BillyEatWorld Gabreta is a work of beauty for sure and agree, it is worth it for the map alone.

[@jacobtierney7449]

One thing people do is use RHS as an arugment in the paid mods debate as an example of a free mod having equal quality to the CDLC's, even though Red Hammer Studios won €200,000 from the make arma not war contest. I also like what GalComT said in the GM AMA: that with the level of quality players demand from mods, it takes that much time to create modded content, that they need income from the mods to make a living. I don't think people understand that the CDLC teams are actually very small, GM has only two main devs who can't spend hours everyday working on content to not earn anything from it.

[@williampaabreeves]

On the other hand plenty of people have little money. So spending an amount equal to an entire new game (a reasonably priced one not a AAA waste of space), is not to be taken lightly. "Dont compared to free mods" is a silly argument, that is their competition, if they can't at least match it then they have failed to make a product worthy of the market its trying to compete in. Personally I don't think RHS is that great, constantly have issues with it in tthe gameplay department because they went too hard for realism so body armour is overpowered and vehicles near indestructable

[@jacobtierney7449]

Yeah I think we do need to compare free mods to the CDLCs, as some sort of basic quality control. Because yeah, no-one likes to waste money on something that is sub-par to a free alternative. I thinks that’s why CSLA has had such a massive backlash. I think another thing that muddies that waters, at least for GM and CSLA is that you can’t see a difference between what the devs were producing for free vs. what they’ve released in the dlc. SOG on the other hand showcased this perfectly as you can see a night and day difference between the quality of Unsung and the SOG assets. My god some of the unsung models look like they were made for Half Life 1 back in 1999. I think that we’ve got to a level now where mod quality has become so high, people at a bare minimum expect much higher quality than previously. While raising the bar is a great thing, it also makes hobby modding much more demanding and less accessible for people who don’t have the time. I think we’re getting to a point where certain levels of financial support may be necessary to allow mod devs to spend more time modding. I like The current system for CDLCs, where BI have some oversight as to the devs intentions, design choices and quality. I would definitely say that GM and SOG are definitely on par, quality wise, as the DLC Bohemia have released themselves. And Bohemia are both developers and publishers now. So for a small team to be able to reach that level, they definitely deserve some financial reward for that.

[@williampaabreeves]

@@jacobtierney7449 my main problem is the opposite. The quality of things like Unsung, CUP and IFA is good enough I feel. The problem is lack of assets in the CDLCs. Incomplete factions are bad no matter how high quality the things that do exist are. Every faction must have a soldier for each role and a vehicle for each role. For vehicles that list looks something like this: unarmed light vehicle (eg quad bike), unarmed light transport (unarmed car), mg/hmg version of car (optional AT and AA versions), armoured transport (APC), armed armoured transport, truck with all varients (open, covered, medical, repair, ammo, fuel), combat APC/IFV/light tank type vehicle, MBT tank, AA vehicle, artillery vehicle. Small patrol Heli, large transport Heli, attack Heli. Fighter plane, cas/bomber plane, transport/paratrooper plane. And where applicable UAVs both small and large. Also statics, Low and High MGs to the standard size of vanilla ones, AT static, AA static, mortar, artillery

[@ThePadi94]

Wojtek The Mighty SOG definately isn't on par with BIs DLCs as it has literally nearly no SP content!

[@stor3]

More competition = better quality

[@Bagginsess]

Idk if you were just using zeus but you make me wonder if there is an Arma mod similar to Tower Defense in AoE2/Warcraft 3, where you just shoot down waves of vechiles and infantry while buying more bots/vechiles to defend the base.

[@BillyEatWorld]

These engagements were all just set up in the editor... but I’m sure there’s something like that for A3 on the workshop.

[@diskuslars7527]

As a lover of Milsim i love the Infanteryaspect but flying? I play 2 Militarysims..Arma3 and Dcs World and the Jets in Arma3 arent really good. The Flight Models are extremly unrealistic. Just a Dream but if Arma3 and Dcs would build 1 huge Sim together i would be the perfect Military Simulation

You should buy the DLC's they are very good!

[@ThePadi94]

Except CSLA!

[@vazaruspaytonas7017]

Wait just a minute! You can use the DLC vehicle in vanilla? Didn't S.O.G. come with an aircraft carrier? I can use that in vanilla with compatibility patches?

[@BillyEatWorld]

Yep sure can. You can mix and match. No carrier in SOG as far as I know of. The compatibility patches let you use the assets in multiplayer apart from the maps as far as I know. :)

[@-julian9079]

@@BillyEatWorld I got a question, is it normal that I can't access the vehicles as soon as I exit them a prompt appears saying that I need to purchase the DLC the only dlc i dont own is global mobilization

[@difficultinterest1582]

ArmA 4 is defs gonna be 1980s I reckon. These CDLC's offer too much opportunity for BA

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

not really tho. As far as i know BI doesn't actually own anything from CDLC's. Just publishes them. Also some things in them are not on current BIS level, not to mention future BIS. Praire Fire is allright, but the Czech one is closer to Arma 2 than 3. Global Mobilisation is good but they made some bad design choices. I'm looking at you PIP periscopes. And their uniforms and infantry equipment are too...tight? its hard to put it in words. Like they're ok, but it all feels so rigid, pressed and minimalistic. They perfectly capture what a thing is supposed to be on paper, but not how it actually looked when a real human being spent a month in combat with it. it feels so...german, made with a ruller. All those perfectly square pouches.

[@ThePadi94]

Tomasz Skowroński PF isn't allright, it is purely MP which is a shitty decision!

[@destroso]

The worst thing about arma 3 is that it was set in the future

[@SaturnVII]

CSLA ain't even that bad. Did anyone here notice that you were using their vehicles half the time? It released bad, got a ton of bad press, and now it has to fight back a reputation. CDLCs are worth their money. People need to understand that paying $20 for basically a magical product (a computer program, one day just think about how crazy the concept is) ain't that much money.

[@awizor]

CSLA is low effort port and retextures of ArmA 2 content. All the hate they recived was deserved.

[@ThePadi94]

they shipped no updates and showed no intentions to improve quality!

[@some_guy9347]

CSLA is definitely better now, but not on par with GM or SOGPF. Gabreta is a great map, and I love the new Mi-24 and Cobra that got added in the latest update of CSLA.

[@joshthemigpro1733]

Game changer yet they gave people there money back

[@BillyEatWorld]

They didn't give refunds for Prairie Fire and Global Mobilization though. This video isn't just about CSLA. I think most people would agree PF and GM are worth it. There are a few things from CSLA that have been tweaked in this mod though... the MI-17 and the Abrams are the main ones.
