Hello before I start I just want to say that maybe you don't know me and maybe I am new to this server, but I am not new to Takistan life. In fact I have 450+ hours played on Takistan life server. And I know that this idea is probably work in progress and/or has been discussed thousands of times but just hear me out please. This server is dying slowly, the reason might be because people are getting bored. Let me explain, let's use the opfor/blufor example so you log in, you patrol, you guard the checkpoint, you go to kos zones, you capture a blufor/opfor zone, engage some criminals and independents and that is it, you do that over and over and over again. It gets boring after a while, why? Because there is no point in doing so, there is no reward for your actions and your bravery. I have no clue about running a community, but I have a big knowledge about running a faction and I know for a fact that without chain of command, ranks and units both opfor and blufor will have relatively low popularity. I was a pilot in VDV's air wing rank praporshchik. And I helped a lot with running that unit within opfor so I know what I'm talking about. And don't give me the power hungry or 12 year old examples, maybe we need some power hungry people to get those factions started, maybe we don't. With ranks and units people would have somthing to work towards and work for it. Without it both opfor and blufor are unorganized and divided, people don't know what to do, and many people are leaving this fancy server. So please just consider this, add ranks, make rules, rule books and organize training for blufor and opfor give every unit a role and orginize them. You might say that both blufor and opfor need to be kept simple and rank-less, but what fun would it be to play as those if there is no reward for anything you do and most of your actions are repetitive after a while. If you don't do something about it more and more people will start leaving, I saw that there are ranks on TS allready, if you need things such as rulebooks or training guide I would be happy to help, just please do somthing about it, I don't want to see this server die. And if there is a plan of action in place about this issue you better start it soon or there won't be anyone that will join anymore. Thank you for your attention and I hope for some response regarding this issue as well as some constructive criticism. -cheers, Morpho.

Have you wondered why the servers population is so low? Around 15-25 people? Regardless Im going to tell you how to change that problem by Increasing the server population. Spread the word! Tell your friends and other players about the TLX ArmA 2 (Takistan Life Xtreme Server)! If your friends ever mention missing the old ArmA 2 Life servers just mention TLX. Share your posts from TLX on social media, If enough people share this server is destined to get a high population. Make a video! If you have Obs or even fraps you can record gameplay and edit it. If you agree with these tips drop a thumbs up and a comment.

Many have first-handedly felt the pain getting through checkpoint alpha, the struggle manning it and just "It" In general. Cpa is just a cess pool of pure garbage. From snipers on the surrounding mountains, roadblock spam and retardation surrounding the checkpoint in general I feel I have the perfect solution. If the TLX community encourages the leaders to have these following additions to cpa it would be much better. Add a canvas roof or hanger style roof overhead of the checkpoint. This would lower the chances of you getting you head shot off. Add more tank traps, cement dividers and hesco barriers. This would in theory slow incoming traffic down and create a more (calm) cpa. Make the checkpoint more valuable. If more important activities were centered around cpa than there would be more people traveling In between creating interesting scenarios Be sure to leave a thumbs up and a comment. I am free to help anyone who has a question. Here's my YouTube channel if your Interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyjqXUPc_ULwh-sTY2F00-g Join TheStrategists [TSTS]

Many players have been whining about the various problems that are yet to be fixed in Arma 2 Takistan Life. So i listed several problems that need fixed to improve combat, roleplay and community toxicity. First we have the heavy vehicle or armored vehicle problem, I cant count on my hand how many times I've spotted or been killed by as an Independent player by a Stryker with a grenade launcher or a Bluefor with a Dmr or a sniper. The point is that the prices on many of the Bluefor and Opfor vehicle prices need some serious tweaking. Also regarding Opfor, when purchasing heavily armoured vehicles, apc's or tanks it seems that there needs to be some more restrictions for when your are able to use them. I can understand that because they are closer to the Indi spawn and are Slavs but the Indis dont even have a chance. Independent players are forced to spam Ai players ,ATGMs, tanks and other derp guns just to have a fighting chance to get out of the south or make money but on the other hand they are exploited. Crazy weapons like the AA-12 need to be fixed or removed, they are just as powerful as a 30mm cannon and can shoot down a hind with one round. If you agree or support what I've stated, thumbs up this post and drop a comment down below.

FREE BUT LIMITED VEHICLES So i'm suggesting that OPFOR and BLUFOR vehicles should be FREE for both sides during WAR. But there would be a limited amount of vehicles so they can be used wisely by both forces agaisn't each other during a battle and not just spam jets or helicopters or ground vehicles etc.I do not really know how far can ARMA 2 OA Be modified but if this is a possibility it would be nice because money wouldn't actually matter when fighting instead, the people who are fighting agaisn't each other.The players would have to think a lot to make a decision if they should use it or save it for later in the WAR. Also most times, the people in each side tend to waste a LOT more money than what they get for winning a war which is 4 million. Forward Operating Base My another suggestion is that Forward Operating Bases A.K.A FOBs should be allowed to be made during WAR Time but not PEACE Time.They would be made by using the barricades that are available to both forces.It would be used as a temporary base for when the Friendly Forces (Depending on which side you are in if you are OPFOR or BLUFOR) start pushing deeper into the enemy territory. These FOBs should be big enough to fit at least one helicopter and 3 or 2 HMMWVs (In case of the OPFOR 2 or 3 UAZs or Military Off Roads.)They should also have supplies such as Medical Supplies,small or large repair kits and gas tanks. The Main base may only be used as a spawn point or to get vehicles or supplies. These Forward Operating Bases may not be positioned near CAPTURE POINTS neither ENEMY BASEs.And they should not be marked on the map because the enemy might see it and fire artillery at that exact location destroying the entire FOB and the individuals inside and that moment. Prisoners of WAR Prisoners of war A.K.A POWs are to be captured when the OPPOSING FORCES surrounds and outnumber friendly forces in a certain location such as a FOB. Prisoner camps should be placed and MARKED inside friendly territory away from the frontlines.The POWs are to be used as hostages by the ones who captured them. It should be noted that Prisoner camps should not be fired upon with artillery or be attacked by Aircrafts.They may only be attacked and captured by ground units. When surrounded the players that are outnumbered may drop their weapons on the ground and put their hands in the air,if they attempt to resist(which in my opinion is something very dumb) they may be shot at or stunned.When captured,they are to be escorted to the nearest FOB or Prisoner Camp where they will be kept as hostages until friendly forces capture the FOB or prisoner camp. Prisoners of war are also allowed to escape when they have a chance. Thank you for your attention -Dereck

Is this already a thread? I’m having trouble getting opfor managed and I wanted to know if there is a current command structure in place? Though BluFor doesn’t seem to have active permanent command either. I’d love to know

After playing in the server for a while i have seen multiple blufor giving high price tickets, over the reasable value for what they should actually be. With this post i am trying to sugest implementing a price limit for tickets due to some players not possessing high quantaties of money in the server and to make it more reasonable.

OPFOR earlier decide that the would get a bm-21 grad and sit at the vehicle service point and bomb the shit out of BLUFOR airfield this meant we could not get any jets up as BLUFOR and if it wasn't artillery we got destroyed by the mi-24's Ka-52's su-35's shooting us the second we got out of the no kill zone. 1. my issue is that they sat at the vehicle service point so the had unlimited ammo which i see as exploiting and they was shooting across the map which made almost impossible to get to it whicch is a unfair advantage to OPFOR. 2. Camping the zone i think the airfield in the way shouldn't be used to fire from or fire into as it is camping as I see it as it is the base and it allows people to leave as its not really fun if people cant leave the airfield if they actually wanna fight OPFOR i think rules should be changed to stop this from happening

Hello guys! I would like to show the cover I made for OPFOR. It's my creation. I'm making it available here for anyone who wants to use it, can use it anywhere, without problems. It's a bit simple but the intention was that.

During peace time operations and for training session for the MAFR it would be great to use a AN2 with dshkm's or other machine guns. Since the l39 is expensive and all the other planes are war time only (Exception of the pcela which is glorious). Plez add daddy

VVS Who are we A small introduction We are the VVS (Vojenno-vozdoesjnye sily Rossii - Military Air Forces of Russia). Our job is to support the ground forces of southern Takistan. We train our own people for war and for peacetime operations. To save lives in northern and southern takistan. and when necessary to deploy a swift and brutal retalliaton. Lore After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. The Soviet airforce was reformed and turned into the Russian Airforce. During the start of the Takistani war the VSS had a rough time deploying due to a lack of airbases. Most jets had to fly from bases in Russia that had not seen a plane take off since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The equipment were old planes from the Soviet era. Most of the pilots used were rookies who had never flown a combat sortie. Alot of lives and equipment were lost during this era. By the time of the capture of the loy manara airfield the VVS had matured. The Combat Doctrine had changed from mass bombings of zones filled with SPAA vehicles to precise strikes from a long range. Most of the current pilots have flown many missions and have been given good equipment. What do we do From protecting Takistani citizens from the terrorist threat to assisting the Takistani Liberation Army during wartime and peacetime. We also try to learn people how to fly helicopters and planes. What can we offer you - Training for Paratrooper operations - Training for Air vehicles - A group willing to rp within opfor VSS recruitment process - Sign up - Assesment of abilities - Training - Ranking To apply you have to Post a reponse to this thread. it may be anything as long as it isn't offensive. Even if you post lol i wanna join cuz blufor master race we will read it. (Probably wouldn't help.). Anything says something about you RANKS GlVEN ON VVS DO NOT COUNT FOR OPFOR! Members Pilots Cmdr. Wolfslayer - Blackjack Capt. Jake Thompson - Salt Machine Lt. Drew - Big Bertha SGT. Spork - Bee Salty Orbz* - Winged Hussar Airborne infantry Capt. Mr. Eyebrows - Pain Train Lt. Domocop - Desync Devil CPL. Unfittoast515 - Anry Boer PVT. Aleks Ssier_ - Big Boris * - Ranks to be decided

Blufor and Opfor have been abusing this strategy and at one point they closed all the checkpoints with no one manning them, really harmful for civs and the role playing involved. If for example indeps have taken control of a checkpoint, the should be able to remove both of the barriers, dont you agree ?

I think OPFOR need Vodka in the General store. All us Russians get thristy on the job and have no time to hit the bar

Fix the SCUD Launcher to where when it fires,it genuinely fires a nuclear weapon. Maybe it could be a way to reset the server stats or something. It should also be an impromptu capture point and if indeps/civ terrorists can hold it for,30 minutes,they are able to fire Tactical Ballistic Missiles at Locations. Exclusions from TBM Fire Sites: (Rasman,Feruz Abad,Any Bases,CPA not including the surrounding Hill)

As an Independent player (most of the time), I think we can all agree that some of the vehicles that OPFOR and BLUFOR have access from the get-go are pretty overpowered. This needs to be changed. There is almost nothing an Independent can do whenever SOMEONE gets an Mi-24 or a L-39ZA. It is pretty disappointing when someone buys one of those things and destroys every single Independent that tries to make their way across the border. The server I was previously on did not have this issue as the owners agreed that it was overpowered and have had it set to be used as a martial law/war vehicle only. This is what this server lacks. Imagine, playing as an Independent loaded up with a RPK and an RPG-7 which costs around 900k, arriving 300 M away from Checkpoint Bravo only to get mowed down from an angry OPFOR with an Mi-24 from 5000 meters away. I feel this would balance the gameplay if such vehicle was not allowed when a war is not in action. BLUFOR has a different but similar story as they can purchase a HUMVEE TOW and destroy anything from crazy distances with only a press of a button with it's lock-on missile. These overpowered OPFOR and BLUFOR vehicles really need to be modified as to when you can purchase them. It just makes people want to quit and not come back when it happens, which is overall bad for the reputation of the community. I really enjoy Takistan Life, but there is always room for improvement. Thank you for taking the time to read my salty-ish post, and feel free to give your personal opinion as well. (P.S, It is okay to -1 even if you use these all the time, I understand ) VEHICLES THAT I THINK NEED BE CHANGED: Mi-24 (OPFOR) HUMVEE TOW (BLUFOR) L-39ZA (OPFOR) Edited for logical statements about some vehicles not being overpowered. List any OPFOR/BLUFOR Vehicles that you think should be changed.

Possibly add a Blufor/Opfor (Maybe Indep) Medic Skin/Slot that sacrifices half of the inventory and the ability to hold a Rocket Launcher for the ability to heal yourself and others without a medikit. Given as Blu and Op are Military Forces,I would assume they would have combat medics ready. Just a suggestion tho.

Why opfor is the best. 1. Its russian 2. Experienced players play on opfor 3. Because were russian
