-1 Not enough effort put in I don't believe. There's a lot more you could have put in apart from flexing your account. If you had a proper description I'd update to a +1

I don't say this often and mean it but you're a fucking cunt man. You don't need to pretend you're better than anyone else cause with the current state of the server nobody gives a shit about who you are. You should be taking what you can get. oh wait... you're too far up your own ass to actually see other peoples opinions. nobody can hack if there's nobody on the server, and at the current state the server is, its gonna be like this for a long time.

it was a different server though. different rules. now with the reform they've gained popularity

+1

+1 vast amounts of knowledge of rules

the server is a roleplay server... It's literally in the rules that you need to roleplay. If that rule wasn't a thing I would not be debating you. The whole reason of a life server is for RP

forcing people to roleplay shouldn't drive people away. If you join a life server, roleplay is what you're looking for. Look at BGA, over 30 players every night I've been on so far and roleplay is heavily enforced. No armored vehicles, roles are enforced, and they're still doing better than our server.

that's the problem, this is a Takistan Life server, not a sandbox. As it stands that's what TLX feels like, a sandbox with a few rules and factions. Law isn't enforced properly, Borders aren't manned, criminal civilians are KOS'd. If you don't force people to do their jobs properly then you have a broken faction, and that's what BLUFOR currently is.

not sure if that's me saying "roger dodger" or if someone stole my line

What I'll do is work out preset heights, distances and speeds and post them. Should be much easier for everyone

I haven't seen this covered anywhere so far so I think I might be one of the first people (on this forum at least) to give a guide. Sometimes nobody will have a laser designation tool whilst the battlefield and so dropping laser GBU's is impossible. By using a few formulas you can accurately drop GBU's from 9Km away (on the border of inaccuracy here). This will most certainly keep you safe from AA, you could in theory during war drop GBU's from BLUFOR side and hit well withing OPFOR and Indi territory. Below I'm going to put a couple of formulas on how to calculate exactly how far you need to be to perfectly drop a GBU on target. I have tested this for about 3 hours in total and I consistently manage to hit withing 30m of my target (it is quite difficult to nail the altitude because of terrain being different, hence the large area). Things you will need to know: Your speed (m/s, not KM/h) and altitude t= time in (s) d = distance (the distance parallel to the ground) S = displacement (your actual distance away) formula 1: t = squareroot of your height/0.5*9.8 formula 2: d = yourspeed * (answer from formula 1) formula 3: d^2 + yourheight^2 square root that answer and you will get the distance at which you need to drop your GBU from the target in order to hit. thankfully arma 2 engine does not have any noticeable air resistance otherwise this would be impossible. I'm not sure if TLX server does but single rplayer US army showcase scenario does not In order to do this you must maintain a constant speed and a leveled altitude until the GBU is released, being below or over on the onboard virtual horizon will result in the bomb missing. Possible scenarios for uses would be when you are too far away to see the laser from the designator, when you do not want to be noticed by enemy AA and when there is no laser designation tool. Example: My speed: 183 m/s (500KM/h) my height = 500 t = SQRT(500/0,5*9.8) = 10.1s S = 183 * 10.1 = 1849 1849^2 + 500^2 = 3,668,801 SQRT(3,668,801) = 1915 m so the GBU needs to be dropped 1915 m away from the target. (if you mark the target on the map and drop it when the distance is at around 2000m away it should hit) This guide may sound pointless but this could be abused, especially from an A10 where you could hit OPFOR airfield from within NATO radar range during war (in theory, not tested that far out yet and it would be maybe accurate within 100m of where you want to hit, if you calculated the height difference however, they could hit within 30m. GBU might despawn though) Update: Here is some screenshots of me releasing the GBU and the point of impact as well as the damaged C130. I did miss but I blame that on the fact that I was trying to get a good screenshot (also the terrain, you wont be able to line up a perfect hit)

-1 never seen you before

-1 never seen you before so can't vouch

it's been averaging 50 players, I dont get what you mean by 0 players. sure it goes down a fair bit but when its up during peak times its constantly full

TLX Arma 3 server would get dwarfed by Psysin's and would get 0 players basically
