........Even if it does end up in us getting pounded: caught in the relative open by 150+ enemy Infantry, 10 Ifrits, 5 Tanks AND a Kaijman attack helicopter!

That's why they keep making the islands bigger and bigger: so you can retreat longer distances.

Currently Operating in Fallujah

Just a bit of an update:

We have recently moved to Fallujah to operate alongside our UN, US, Danish and Iraqi allies against the growing Insurgency there. We have been having some decent turnouts with 8-14 players in on a regular basis which has enabled us to move from several small missions per mission night to one long mission with multiple objectives.

A few end of mission screenshots from the most recent ones:

and before we moved to Fallujah we retook Utes from some rather unpleasant North Korean chaps - and then once they were gone has a bit of a silly mission where we had a rabbit hunt!

Anyhow, we are always look for some new chaps to join in: its been great having subsimmers jumping in with us again: hope to see some more of you around with us in the near future!

Hi, my name is Arclight and I'll be your designated driver for today. Please keep all blood and guts inside the vehicle at all times, and mind the IEDs while dismounting.

New website design

Hello Subsimmers!
Been a little while since I dropped in here. The 53rd has recently overhauled its website design to help streamline things as best as possible. We now have a one click collection modpack for those using playwithsix and we have made it easier for those wishing to get to know us before joining to do so!

Check out some of our screenshots here:

Cheers,

Thought I'd bump this with a bit of additional information: we are now regularly pulling in 16-20 members for official missions having recruited some former II./JG53 chaps back into the fold as well as a significant number of highly skilled and teamwork focused Norwegian chaps. As always we are open to any subsimmers who wish to get their feet dry, visit new and exotic lands, and perhaps get friendly with some locals!

Some more mission pictures from the last few weeks:

Thinking about joining up. Seems like a good time to play with some people who actually are online consistently. Hooked up to the TS3 server and trying to sort out playwithSIX (doesnt seem to recognize armaIII as being one of my games...)

Edit: Ok, I found the uniform pack on playwithSix, but I can't download the oneclick download button, and subscribing still doesn't show it on my interface

Did you register an account for WithSix? Seems you need to be logged in to be able to subscribe to the collection.

Also, the collections feature was released in beta first, so we had to enable the launcher for beta updates. Not sure if this is still the case, but I'm still running with the beta versions at least. Should be an option under "options>settings>other" for "receive beta updates".

Hi Krauter,
I've processed your sign up so feel free to register on the 53rd forums as you'll probably get a faster response there.
With regards to the mod collection - I believe that there is currently an issue with the withsix server that is preventing one click collections from syncing correctly. I've raised the issue with Sickboy (the chap who runs pws) so hopefully there will be a fix shortly as he is normally pretty good at hunting bugs down in decent time. Until then I'm sure if you jump on TS over the weekend you'll find one of us who is happy to walk though the current modpack contents.
Cheers and hopefully see you on the virtual battlefield soon
V

EDIT;

Krauter, withsix just released a beta patch that seems to have resolved it. Some sort of issue with it not remembering login details. So to get the pack, ensure you are logged in when you subscribe to the collection ,then double check the login again before attempting to sync. Any issues there will be a fair few around approx 19:00 BST on Sunday on TS to help out.
Cheers,
V

Hi all
The 53rd Air Infantry has expanded quite a bit since my last post here - we have gained a lot of new members with a range of experiences from those brand new to simming to those who have been around since the Operation Flashpoint demo! With such a range of new members we have been able to push into larger scenarios with our current theatre of operations being on the Celle map: following recent events upon Everon where the Russians were supporting an anti-western coup the Russians have gone on an all out offensive and are storming through Eastern Europe and into the heart of Germany.

If you are looking to join an organised Co-op group then feel free to check out our website at www.53rdAirInfantry.com or alternatively watch our new trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kpwPhnfDBw

For some videos from our time upon Everon please see the following link to some videos from one of our new recruits eyes: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...A5xGnPK1gVeSN6

You can also find our one click collection mod pack on playwithsix to make joining up with us even easier: http://www.53rdairinfantry.com/mods.html

We will also be hosting some organised public CO-OP play soon: watch this thread for more information!

We hope to see you dropping by to join up with the 53rd soon!
Regards,
V

Hello Subsim chaps!

Just dropping by the share a few screenshots of our current missions and to let you know that next week we will be hosting some public co-op sessions - both modded and un-modded and you are all most welcome to jump in!
Feel free to jump on the 53rd TS: info can be found on the website to click and connect!
I'll post a little more information with dates and times once the schedule is finalised - hope to see some of you online!

53rd Dedicated server - OPEN

Gents,
It is still not 100% setup how we would like it, nor have we finished with making our own missions for the server from scratch - HOWEVER - I'd like to invite all the subsim chaps and ladies to the newly launched 53rd Air Infantry Public dedicated server.

The server is currently running a mixture of:
Patrol Ops
Invade and Annex
Dynamic Warfare

You will find it in the ARMA 3 server browser under the name - 2nd Battalion 53rd Air Infantry CO-OP - www.53rdAirInfantry.com

Or alternatively you can enter it directly via: 31.3.225.43
Our TS3 channel is also available for those who wish to communicate with their team for maximum enjoyment - the address is shown on the various whiteboards in missions as well as during connection to the server.
Kindest Regards,
V

Mission INFO:

Operation HALLOWEEN THUNDER

Recently a fungal disease broke out in the small Greek Island chain of Altis and Stratis.

Despite the best efforts of the Greek medical teams and a World Health Organisation task force the disease has both spread and mutated.

The patients display severe rashes before entering a high fever. Once the fever starts it is rapidly followed by liquidation of internal organs and bleeding from the orifices.

Worryingly the disease has not stopped at killing its victims: shortly after death patients reanimate as mindless killing machines.

The more recently a victim has reanimated to more rapidly it can move; so be extremely vigilant of the freshly dead.

Early encounters indicate that the reanimated can be stopped by conventional weaponry, with headshots the most efficient method.

We do not know why this is happening: as a small Police unit we have limited assets to deal with this situation.

It is vital we scavenge supplies during this operation as we cannot estimate how long it will take us to reach the evacuation zone: if it is still standing.

Mission ASSETS:

Precinct 99 Police Force

Captain: .45 ACP
SWAT Officers: MX 6.5mm Assault Rifle
Police Officers: Sting 9mm Submachinegun
Police Medics: 5.56mm Assault Rifle
Police Marksmen: .44 Ruger Rifle
Doctor VIP: Unarmed
