VapoR Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I just picked up Combined Arms in the summer sale. How does multiplayer work? I joined a few servers that had a good number of people in them and I couldn't figure out how to get into a tank (only aircraft spots still listed). Is this even possible or does it need to be a CA-only server? I didn't see any of these in the server browser either.
mwd2 Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 it dependent on the mission! The builder need to add CA slots into the mission and make the ground unit accessible.

VapoR Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Does anyone know of a server that's running CA? Even better if it has CA and aircraft...
Reaper_Mav Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 There should be! The mission creator must have set the battlefield commanders option. Only this way it is possible to join with CA. The group i'm in have some mission which allow for CA but do not run a dedicated server... Sorry.. https://imgur.com/L9Z0yJG.png
Weedburner Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Does anyone know of a server that's running CA? Even better if it has CA and aircraft... Try the Servers of WAR and STP
Wrecking Crew Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Most of the missions on the Hollo Pointe server include Combined Arms slots. WC Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms. All released missions are available for free download, modification and public hosting, from my Wrecking Crew Projects site.
159th_Falcon Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Does anyone know of a server that's running CA? Even better if it has CA and aircraft... 159th has a couple missions whit both CA and Aircraft. Also Huey's for troop insertion and extraction/re-location. Ill have to check what the mission names are though. (you can change the mission yourself once in the server by typing commands in chat.)

VapoR Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks for all the info guys! I'm looking forward to my first time getting taken out by a Mav or Vikhr!
Ukhtral Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I've just got it today too, and will try to play online at described servers on previous posts. Thx
VapoR Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 I managed to get on the 159th once so far on one of the CA missions. Unfortunately there was no one home on the other side in a CA slot so I only saw some action from AI. I don't think any of the enemy CAS managed to get close enough so I didn't get to tangle with them either. But the potential fun of this is HUGE! It's surprising to me that more people with CA aren't online mixing it up! One thing I noticed was that I didn't get credit at all for kills. Now granted these were kills of AI only, I didn't get any kills on human opponents. Is this normal? It doesn't seem fair that you don't get the kill message or any points. Not that scoring points is what it's all about though...
