Hmmm noticed bikini missing from 'Tactical gear&Clothes'
must need updating

List updated, I'm sorry for the inconvenience

You put that on the list as a joke, right?

Presumably the bikini would count as "clothes".

However the category is somewhat ambiguously named. "Clothes & Tactical Gear" would be better.

Not really, no. I see all women as sex objects and in this case they have an extra use as a distraction for the enemy. I'm glad BIS reconsidered their position on letting women on the battlefield. (joking, sexism is funny)

Done, but with a twist. I think you will find it quite refreshing

Only reason I asked was this a joke is because the existence of a female character in a bikini 1) doesn't mean that we can wear the bikini on the battlefield and 2) doesn't mean we can finally play as female soldiers. The bikini model is most likely one mesh. Even Nikos from the campaign is probably one mesh. Wasn't trying to be negative with that post. I mean, it's fine if that's up there as a sorta joke. But, it technically isn't confirmed yet that that bikini is separate from the model. And I just thought the clothes only referred to customizable clothing.

Unfortunately nothing about DX11 which I think would have been amazing for details in the terrain. Unless BIS plans on adding some type of DX11 capability in the future and allowing the mod community to go wild with it.

On the confirmed features list under Game Requirements: "DirectX® - 10/11"
And here's confirmation straight from Lord Buchta: http://ironhammers.org/?p=7590

specifically I would like to hear what DX11 features will be in Arma 3 at launch or if BIS planning on adding it down the road.

HBAO?

Tessellation?

Hope its not just being tacked onto Arma 3 just so people can't say RV is stuck in the past because its using (dx9)...

Still remember a mission from A1 where we raided (*khm*) a brothel to arrest a suspect there and to a suprise of my team all women pulled guns and defended him ... A2 cancelled this with missing anims, we hope to bring it back with A3

Considering the amount of effort that I think would probably be needed to move onto DX11 from DX9, I doubt they would do it without taking advantage of its new features. Of course, I don't expect that every new feature will be feasible for A3.
