Website: https://armadocs.purplesmoke.info/home Email: seanhe93@gmail.com DA 995 Discord: https://discord.gg/weWrB9k DA 992 Discord: https://discord.gg/jP2nX3G Introduction Detachment 995 or DA 995, a.k.a. "Specter", is a European-based ARMA 3 MilSim (military simulation) unit that operates under the Dropping Purple Smoke (DPSO) banner, a North American-based community originally established in 2013 through the game PlanetSide 2, but later on has grown its roots into ARMA 3 as well. We are the European/Middle Eastern counterpart of Detachment 992 (DA 992, a.k.a. "Phantom") which is based in the United States. After merging with DPSO and officially re-organized on June 23rd, 2020, DA 995 is the direct successor of the former international unit Task Force Wolfpack (TFWP), which itself was originally established back in September 2017. As a unit, DA 995 continues to operate on the roots of TFWP, mainly using the same schedules and time zones for the comfort of both European and Middle Eastern players - while the combat doctrine and training systems have been changed to the basis of DPSO. Technical Information Establishment Date: June 23rd, 2020 (retroactive since September 2017) Primary language: English Recruitment Status: Open DA 995 Population: 8 General DPSO Population: 24 Addons: Full list is available through our Discord server, but mainly include the DPSO custom mod/ACE/RHS/3CB Factions/ALIVE/A3U (the modpack is planned to change soon) How We Operate The gameplay style of DPSO is loosely based on ARMA 3's 2035 lore, with the aim to have operations that semi-reflect what special operations units would conduct in futuristic environments, such as covert infiltration/exfiltration, deep reconnaissance missions, HVT elimination/extraction, hostage rescue, EOD operations, HALO/HAHO and water insertions, electronic warfare, and finally sabotage missions. DPSO will rely heavily on technology, individual skills, and team work. These will not be simple missions and will test the detachments abilities with every individual operation. While the goal is to have a gameplay experience that is done at a high tactical and technical skill levels, we are a serious unit looking for quality members to take part in our missions and events. We are willing to work with anyone who has the right attitude and mindset. Also important to know is that each detachment of DPSO functions separately and will have their own operations (as per schedules and time zines). Training will be standard across all detachments, just held on different schedules, while Zeus players and pilots are a shared resource. The following list represent several major factors about DPSO and 995 as a whole: Mature group with former and present military servicemen. Using ARMA-style ranking system, but doesn't apply military discipline! Playing with 1st person only for infantry and 3rd person for vehicles. Using ACE3 and KAT advanced medical systems. Using TFAR (beta) radios as our communication system. Many opportunities to advance within the unit, from weapons specialist to training instructor and even leadership roles (aviation roles are a work in progress). Using in-house custom mod that include custom textures and patches, mission making functions, and few extra for a better gameplay experience. Dedicated servers for training, ALIVE, and joint ops. Official Events DA 995 specifically conducts three major events using the Zulu time zone (UTC+0) clock as basis; on Fridays, Sundays, and Saturdays respectively, as follows: Fridays - Training | 17:00 - 19:00 (5:00-7:00 p.m.) Saturdays - Operation | 15:00 - 18:00 (3:00-6:00 p.m.) Sundays - Training | 16:00 - 18:00 (4:00-6:00 p.m.) The reason we have two training events is to allow comfort for both European and Middle Eastern players to participate whenever they can, based on time zones and local customs or religion. Those who cannot train on Fridays, can do so on Sundays and vise versa, but there are no restrictions to participate on both events. Group Structure DPSO is portraying the fictional and elite special operations force Combat Technology Research Group (CTRG) - under the direct command of NATO - which is an important part of ARMA 3's storyline and one of the main factions. CTRG is a multi-national unit that conducts clandestine, black operations throughout the globe and broken into sub-groups, where DPSO acts as Group 99. Within the group there are several Detachments, numbered from 0 through 9: 0 = Headquarters and Support Detachments (DS) 1 through 8 = Direct Action Detachments (DA); currently active Detachments: 991 "Ghost", the HQ Detachment led by the group leader. 992 "Phantom", the NA-based Detachment. 995 "Specter", the newly established EU-based Detachment. 9 = Flight Support Detachment (currently not active) The group uses the typical ARMA ranks structure, with the group leader and detachment leaders are majors, detachment assistants are captains, and support officers are lieutenants, leaving the rest ranked from privates to sergeants - all are applied to different occupations that are ranged from weapons specialists to medics or engineers, and from basic team leaders to training instructors or even mission makers. What You Should Expect As a MilSim unit, we offer all the seriousness and methodical gameplay, but also provide fun and humor when the time allows. We are a group of players first and foremost – no need to salute or ask for permission to speak or answer with “yes, sir”, “no, sir” (or ma’am), no need to perform routine physical training, yet showing mutual respect to each other and cooperate when it is necessary. We strive to balance on the line that parts professionalism, realism and friendship, and expect from our members to be serious when the time calls for it and let loose with the jokes when it feels right. The members are our most valuable resource. Assuming a player is active, he will not stay in place for long, and those who will positively stand out will be promoted and will be allowed into exclusive occupations and act in more advanced roles.

G'day everyone Announcing a new project I'm slowly working on. I'm still fairly new to modelling so this may take a while, though the good thing is that I'm an avid World Of Tanks player and they have most of the tanks I want to make, thus its a great source of reference material for me to look at as they would have gotten their hands on their own reference material I most likely can't, not to mention I get to see their models first hand in game when I play which gives me ideas of what I can add or do etc. Still cant make cables/wire for shit though haha What its about? Project 1947 is mod that is based mainly on armoured combat, tank/armoured versus tank/armoured combat if you'd like, steel beasts going head to head. This mod will most likely not include any uniforms or hand held weapons as I currently don't posses the skill or excitement to make uniforms and hand held guns, not to mention that other mods like IFA3 and FoW fill that gap of infantry equipment. Overall, Project 1947 (working title) is about the possibility of if World War 2 was prolonged and did not end in 1945 and Germany successfully took Stalingrad or D-Day was not as big of a success as it was, for example. A bit like Wolfenstein, but without all the Nazi robots and spaceships, a more 'realistic' approach if you want to call it that. What would it include? Here is a list of factions I'd like to include into the mod. Most of the factions in their spaced groups would use similar vehicle, thus re-skins only really apply to some factions. However some factions will get their own unique kit at some point. Factions/Nations---- Nazi Germany Japan Italy (I have no clue what they'd use at this point of the war) Finland Soviet Union Communist China United States United Kingdom France Poland Nationalist China Australia I'll first be doing front line armoured vehicles such as heavy tanks, mediums and possibly lights. Depending on the reception I get I can always make APC and IFVs. Vehicles---- (Only a small list) [USA] M26E1 Pershing, M34, M30 and Easy 8 Sherman.. (To name a few) [German] E10, E25, E50, E75, E100.. (To name a few) [Soviet] IS3, T44A, T44B.. (To name a few) I'm also hoping to have a dynamic stowage system, so ultimately you're able to mix and match all kinds of stowage, even randomise it so no tank looks identical. What has been done so far? So far I'm doing all the German vehicles first, the E-series. The good thing about the E-series is that they share most if not all of their assets, from road wheels, exhausts systems, stowage, handles. For example, the E50 and E75 share the exact same hull, just different turret and number of road wheels. Since I've made the E50 hull and road wheels I've also technically made the E75 hull and road wheels. However this is what I've done so far. Germany E-50 E-75 Feedback/Suggestions Pretty sizeable project for someone like me, but I love making stuff so I don't mind. If you have any suggestions or feedback, go ahead. Cheers.

We strive to not only set up the foundation for an outstanding Milsim experience but a brotherhood of gamers that can span into a variety of other games outside of Arma. If you like videos such as Liru the Lance Corporal or Karmakut then we aim to provide an excellent mix of the both, providing a true milsim experience whilst maintaining the casual gameplay aspect.

Who are we? Remaining together for more than a decade, the 242nd has defined itself as a mature, dynamic, and decisively stable community. We value skill and success over flash and paperwork, always seeking to improve ourselves against both AI and human opponents. Join us to participate in our vision of an aggressive, agile and hard-hitting team of teachers. Over the 10 years for which our community has stood the test of time, we've avoided the drama that has claimed the legacies of so many other clans. We've chosen to eschew the flashy "sir-yes-sir" and useless "Training courses", unnecessary paperwork, over complicated or poorly done missions of the typical arma experience, and have instead chosen to challenge ourselves to succeed in the game, raising the bar in how we can apply both individual and team skillsets. Gameplay Loop Ranks are dropped at the slot in screen. If the unit leader ends up as a fireteam member of the team you lead, then he follows your orders. Training allows people to specialize and focus their gameplay, but you'll be expected to master all of the basic weapons and roles of an infantryman first and foremost. In any given session, expect to play the role you're given, but also expect to be given many roles over a session. You might start your first mission as a grenadier, but end the night having flown a helicopter, lead a fireteam, or driven an IFV. Agility and skill are the cornerstones of what the 242nd is about. ArmA is a game of vast possibilities, and while we follow stringent procedures for organization, we embrace these possibilities. Expect a great deal of time without a magnified scope. Our missions are rarely if ever Zeus curated. Our mission makers painstakingly craft different experiences using the Eden editor. This allows us to maintain peak server performance while well as truly rich and interesting scenarios. These missions have a real failure point, and tons of replay value. Expect to see yourself and your unit lose on occasion. Expect to come together with your team and discuss what went wrong and how we can improve. Expect your contributions to matter. Don't expect it to be easy. Joining Process You can either opt for an interview by joining us on teamspeak and contacting the leader, CPT. Helios, or any NCO, or you can drop an application on our website and we'll get back to you very shortly. Once accetped, you'll go through a no-strings attached application process. You'll download the mods, and play with us in our operations as a fireteam member. If you don't want training, you don't have to take it yet. If, at the end of two weeks we find that we're not suited for each other, then the process stops there. For most people who walk through the doors, that's where the fun begins.

Disclaimer: 3rd Special Forces Group is a newly formed Unit, which will be based on maturity, cohesion, and tactics. No fancy ACR's or Quad NVG's. Good men, and good games. We are veteran owned and veteran operated. What We Strive to Accomplish: The 3rd Special Forces Group (3rd SFG), will be a small tight knit community centered on good laughs and realistic game play. The core focus of the group will be small unit tactics and solid communication. We do not use a ranking system and will follow a chain of command based on position. Training: We are looking for the best we can find. We will accept no less through our doors. We have a small but rigorous selection process for our unit. If you pass you will be selected as a Candidate for our group, with full permissions. Once you prove yourself and earn an MOS, you will complete a culminating exercise known as "Robin Sage" and you will earn a permanent spot in our ODA. There is no basic training here, if you don't know your stuff, you need not apply. Operations: Been to CLAfgan 50 times this week to fight "ISIS"? Not here. Operations will span the Arma Verse and put our members up against Conventional and Unconventional Threats. From Ultra Nationalist in Chenarus to the Cartel In Tanoa. We will have a wide variety of mission based on the specific Special Forces skill set, not one of an Infantry Company. Requirements: Everyone will be considered on a case by case basis. I am looking for Active/Former Military/Police or VERY experienced arma players. You must be 18 or above NO EXCEPTIONS. You must be patient and willing to help, we are a small group and we plan on staying that way. Everyone must bring something to the table. If this sounds like something that might interest you, join our TS 104.207.145.126:9198 Or contact me on steam.

173rd Airborne The 173rd is a professional 'Military Simulation' unit; priding itself on professionalism, realism, accuracy and maturity. Through the guidance of both former and active service members of Armed Forces throughout the world, the 173rd meshes real-world tactics with the Arma game-play mechanics. Through these ideals and principles the 173rd strives to act in a manner that is, above all, other levels presented in other environments and communities. About Us We, as the 173rd Airbone, are seen to perform operations ranking from situations including direct action insertions, Air assaults, and dropping behind enemy lines. We pool our resources to create new content for all to enjoy, allowing a constant stream of feedback from our members to guide our direction. The mutual respect between members, regardless or rank, experience or status; is what allows for us to form a cohesive unit and to truly get the most out of the experience. Furthermore, our reenactment of the 173rd Airborne does not impede the enjoyment or structure of online game-play: We do not require for members to refer to each other by rank, sir or to fulfill unreasonable demands, as well as having a deep understanding that personal issues take precedence. That said, we require a basic understanding of hierarchy whilst in-game; meaning that each soldier must endeavor to perform as their selected role and commit themselves as a member of a team. Our training schedule is a method for continuous improvement across the entirety of the roster, as newer members may offer a wealth of experience, which veteran members may not have had access to. In essence, our focus is to bring all members to a basic standard and build upon existing systems, in order to create a more enjoyable and immersive experience for all. As well as this, we also see ourselves performing a variety of operations ranging from scheduled Campaign Operations; Field Training Exercises; Brief Missions & Co-Operative Scenarios with other Realism Units. Requirements Minimum age is 16 years Must be available for Friday 2000GMT, Saturday 2000GMT Must have a clear, working microphone Must have a legitimate Copy of Arma 3 Must have Teamspeak 3 How to contact us Website: 503inf.enjin.com Teamspeak: 151.80.230.238
