Two, Five, Six - Use silencer and stay quite!
AI attaching silencers and behave self quietly

+1 for this feature

you can accomplish this via scripting, but at minimum units should use silencers if equipped and set to stealth...

The new command should be "Weapons silenced/Weapons loud", which would include switching to silenced weapons if possible and ROE set to hold fire if not silenced.

The general open/hold fire should not override the above but instead enable you to prepare and execute a silenced ambush. You could even have your team assault but still using silenced weapons only.

It's important to be precise here and you might consider adjusting your ticket.

@camcerouspete

obviously you can script lot's of things, but that's not the matter. We need an option to ingame order your subordinates to use their silenced weapons.

I have noticed that that the seventh menu ( Clicking seven ( 7 ) after selecting some of your soldiers) lacks the option associated with five ( 5 ) and goes from 1 to 9.

The option I suggest fits perfectly in this menu(The menu options could be reordered), adding these two options: (As an option could be allocated in number zero ( 0 ) ).

• Use silenced weapons
• Use non silenced weapons (OR any negation of the above.)

It fits the menu because it's the one that includes subordinates behavior options like stealth, danger and aware.

After thinking some further:
The command should be "silent" and "loud". This way it would combine the order to use silenced weapons and to behave silent and whisper.

@Surfer

I think it is specially needed to separate the command "stealth" and the commands "silent" and "loud".

As I conceive it:

-The stealth command should remain as it is now. Soldiers behave quietly and try to remain hidden, but they use their default weapon.

-The "silent" command ( As I named it in additional information: "Use silenced weapons" ) should make them use their silenced weapons if possible. This command would also make them behave quietly as if the stealth command had been activated.

-Last, the "loud" command would order the use of specifically non-silenced weapons.

Anyway, In my opinion, the combat modes (Stealth, Aware, Danger, Relax) should not be modified at all, and the two options we mention should be added, i.e. you should be able to use the "silent" or "use silencers" order and still order them to behave "aware".

Absolutely agree!

Possible radio protocols:
"Go loud"
"Suppressors off"

"Go silent"
"Go quiet"
"Suppressors on"

Great idea i think Arma 3 could use this very well. EG when you elert the bad guys you are able to tell your team to take off the SS and go loud. up vote
