Much more fun to fight against. Borderline useless to when you want them to guard something.

I´ll throw in my two cents here. For me mission making has always been about balancing fun and realism, and when in doubt always lean on the side of fun. I think we can all agree that we wan exciting, action filled missions where we get to do cool SF shit. This however presents us with a problem, namely the "SF shit" We are light infantry equipped for a very specific mission each operation, we are NOT frontline sluggers meant to go toe to toe with a conventional enemy force. Not rarely do our missions end up in a senseless wholesale slaughter of the enemy force and the objective hopefully being one of the things that died /exploded in the middle, usually also with very large numbers of BLUFOR wounded, usually a ratio that should see the mission aborted so hard planned parenthood would name a national holiday after us. So the way I see it the problem is simple: We fight waaaaaaay to large enemy forces for what we are, leading to the mission just becoming a dull grind. Solution S2 Ares operators: Please take a moment to consider if your actions are going to be an exciting/interesting/fun experience for the Task Force, or just a chore. When faced with realism vs fun, always lean on the side of fun. This is ofcourse not to say that all missions should be a breeze, but spawning wave after wave of Russian QRFs because the Task Force got slightly delayed with a casualty or ARMA issue, or whatever is just piling frustration on top of the issues. S2 Mission creators: Smaller, more focused missions. Not every mission needs to be a massive raid on some military grade doom fortress. Personally I would like to see several smaller objectives, maybe somewhat linked to each other via various bits of Intel. "Investigate point A, Intel leads to Point B, Upon completion of B unit is redirected to some ongoing issue that requires attention" the extent of this would be down to the mission creators and ultimately to the Ares Operators. MSOT members of all ranks: You are not the hero in a Michael Bay movie, there will be missions that arent all about shooting people and big explosions, accept it.

So.... it rained today in Sweden. This is the train station in Uppsala, the fourth largest city in the country.

Not a meme, but to funny not to post.

Archer PMC Operation Toxic Shield 3

Unspecified SF somwhere in Mesopotamia

Can't wait for it to horribly break the first OP we do with it. Pessimism (and Ray´s massive radio boner) aside, the shared radios seems lovely, if extremely circumstantial.

Oh look, Eastern Germany.

Get that weak SKA shit outa here and give me a proper one.

Archer PMC Operation Toxic Shield 02

Might just be one of the coolest voices I have heard.

Its about accuracy rather then area suppression. A man can be trained to withstand the effects of suppression, a man can not be trained to withstand the effects of a bullet hole in the head. You will still have 240s and 50s for all your fully automatic suppression needs.

Not only does IARs get supressors, EVERYBODY gets an IAR. I wonder what will become of all those M249s laying around.

Rapier rather than Broadsword, I like it.
