Sounds like a keeper.  I'll move it up on my wishlist.

There is an awful lot of beef to ARMA 3...a lot of content for the money.  I've barely scratched the surface of what it can do, to be honest.  It's almost criminal to use such a high-quality simulator to play King of the Hill.   :o

[Yskonyn]

The only thing I still find glitchy are your AI Squad mates' behaviour at times. They might get stuck in an object, don't know how to get somewhere properly or remain stuck in a 'mode'.
Most issues can be worked around if you know how to avoid them.

Gentles all,

Does anyone here have recommendations on downloadable campaigns or single missions from steam or other places?  I am loathe just to start downloading a bunch of missions to find they are crap, so I figured I would first ask for recommendations from this astute group of military and accuracy minded grogs.

See you on Stratis,

There is a serious bug.  The helicopter bug in mulitplayer where the a player gets stuck in the rotor while boarding the aircraft.  This leads to the helicopter crashing.
Not sure if it is fixed already.

Go for the persistent dynamic island-wide campaigns.
"Whole Lotta Stratis"
"Whole Lotta Altis"
"Dynamic Universal War System (DUWS)"

[Toonces]

DUWS is pretty neat, but will require some investment in time to figure out.

[Jack Nastyface]

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the references.  I just downloaded DUWS.  So far, looks pretty interesting and I am already into my first patrol.  Took me a bit of time to figure out how to get an armory, etc, but I think this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

I haven't done much with scenario type missions but I have downloaded a few missions that I found useful for training purposes:

Jester's Stratis Showcase

Terminal Ballistics Testing Center

Altis Sandbox

Don't forget about plannedassault.com. The quickest way to create large set-piece battles.

I'm a little late to the game on this one, but I was just looking at some screenshots for a Vietnam mod called UNSUNG.  It looks pretty damn fantastic.

I'm downloading it right now...I'll get some impressions together once I get up and running and get some time with it.

^I DLed it awhile ago, but never installed. Any good SP scenarios for it?
