NOTES

There's something of DayZ in sandbox mission Wasteland, both in terms of mechanics. I bought Arma 3 awhile back to play Dayz but none of my friends had the game so I never really got into it. Finally after showing them videos of the different mods including this one, all my friends decided to buy Arma. They are looking to me to be the expert on what we need in terms of mods and maps but I really don't know. Free Arma 3 Mods 2. Usage 2.1 Using map tools. To use map tools the Map Tools item is required. Open the map M (Arma 3 default key bind Map). Press the self interaction key Ctrl + ⊞ Win (ACE3 default key bind Self Interaction Key). Select Map tools. Select the type of tools you want to use.

Does anyone know of a B52 or B2 stealth bomber mod for arma 3? I am dying for one, especially for a little 'Arma movie' I am spending time on. Anyone know anything regarding a B52 or B2 bomber? Iv been Playing arma 3 exile for a little while now and iv figured out that Full ghillie suits make you very difficult to see in thermal. However there is still the face that lights up in the thermal imaging.
