Just realizing Corporal Ben Kerry was there in the prologue too as an NPC

Even after 460hrs there's still something you learn every playthrough

Hello, I've recently picked up Arma 3 with most of the DLCs. There's quite a lot of scenarios and I'm not sure what each one offers. I'm looking for some sort of scenario, campaign or even mod/modpack for a singleplayer experience where I'd like to be able to build sort of a military force/PMC from scratch, command men to do missions and such. Just an overall singleplayer sandbox focused on progression where I can get vehicles, take over or build bases, buy better equipment while being able to roam the open world myself.

Do any base game scenarios cover most of this? Or any mods that do something close to this? I'm interested in playing multiplayer once I'm more familiarized with the game but I'd like a chill experience where I can progress at my own pace. Thank you for your time ^^

The group I've been playing with have been talking a lot about river ops lately. Does anyone have any maps for Arma 3 that they would suggest?

Context: Was playing Antistasi Ultimate and got the mission "Assassinate Officer" in the middle of an airbase, so I tried sending a suicide drone, then this happened.

Okay, so I'm having this issue where I can't open no workshop mods for any game. I tried with Arma 3. I tried with Brick Rigs, Ravenfield, and yet none of them. Every time I click and open a mod, the page is completely empty, as you can see on the images. Is there anyone suffering the same thing as well?

So just started messing around with Arma 3, got the CUP mods and some DRO mod which is fun, but i used to be a forward observer in the military and kind of have the itch to call in indirect or CAS again, i have the ace singleplayer installed so i can use a protractor and the map but the controls in this game are kinda wild and it doesnt tell you how to do stuff really, like i tried to select what kind of arty i have in DRO but i cant seem to get it to work, is there a call for fire or CAS specific mod

The Nightingale devices simulates a firefight and attracts enemy AI to investigate. They panic and open up on the device location until they finally see it is a trick. At that point they stop firing and start looking around for danger or who might have planted it. Big fun!

Hey all.

I’ve been seeing Arma clips on YouTube, and I thought the aviation seemed really cool.

I’ve been looking for a game that lets you play close air support to ground ops, and previously Nuclear Option scratched that itch, but I’d love a more comprehensive sim.

I really have two main questions. How accessible are Arma aircraft mechanics to a new player? I’m not looking for DCS here. I don’t own any special flight sim hardware or anything. Moreover, how much does air support matter in the game? I’m not really interested in the realistic FPS side of the game, just vehicle combat.

My second question is how much do DLCs matter? Arma’s pricepoint seems good, but I saw all the DLCs and I wondered if this was a case of game companies trying to charge $300 for a complete game. Are they necessary to the overall experience?

feel free to modify them and use them anyway you want. I made them because I thought they were funny. heres some examples and the base screenshots so you can make your own.

I let my bird play arma, can i get banned?

Hello, hoping this is the right spot for this? Recently (last 3 weeks) my Arma 3 server has been failing to run properly, even without mods and default settings. luckily this has been during a downtime season for the group but i've run out of ideas on how to troubleshoot this.

Full console from startup (as of 10/14/2026 @ 10am US-Pacific

12:41:41 Dedicated host created.
12:41:44 Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303

Extra Information that might be helpful:

I've tried all of the following:

• Updating all mods x4
• Force Updating FASTER x2
• Resetting all Arma3 settings in faster
• running the server via a .BAT file
• removing all mods
• reinstalling the Arma3 server file
• full system restart x3
• attempted a summoning ritual on the remote desktop
• created a new user on the server and reinstalled everything.
• forced multi-core rendering
• forced single-core rendering (sorta worked? went from 4fps to 20ish)

so any suggestions?
