Cherna : 225km²
Utes: 4km island / 25 km map
Limnos: ~300km island / 900km² map
Stratis: 19km² island / 80km² map

Thats a lot of scuba'ing!

Yea, we can make a sea battles with crusers

OK... so I was thinking. There is no way the Fennek will be NATO's main Light Armored Tactical Vehicle , it's a Recon vehicles after all and can fit only 3 crew members inside. Now I doubt BIS modified it so it could fit more, it does not look modified from the outside. That brings up the issues of what vehicles will fill in the L-ATV role. Seeing how BIS is going with vehicles of European origin for NATO/US, I'm kinda hoping for the Dingo 2 or the Mowag Eagle 5. If not... any of the current US JLTV program contenders would be nice.

Thoughts on this?

Limnos: ~300km island / 900km² map

Are you sure? Here says: "Limnos, spreading over an area of almost 300 square kilometers..."

anyways, ~300km island would be 90000 km² map! the biggest map ever done

He ment that the landmass is 300km2, where there's an additional 600km2 ocean = total of 900km2. This information isn't new.

Is there any news about personal anti-tank weapons so far?
I even haven't seen JAVELIN in any pre view videos, maybe it is so out dated for that time?

Well, If there won't be armor system then It will look like ARMAII - Take out T90 with MG bullets!

We can seen a launcher on the point man's back in the Stratis Teaser, however it's hard to identify it. Seeing that (some?) tanks in ArmA 3 can be equipped with Trophy APS(or something similar), I wonder how the ATGM's will work in A3.

You remind me, we have a 12.7mm sniper for that anti armor mission.

I see, it looks like a rocket launcher. I didn't pay attention before...

It still bothers me a lot that Iranians have Oshkosh M-ATV as their lightweight troops carrier, so, perhaps it can be used by both sides and originally was meant to be NATO vehicle?
