Arma 3 Creator DLC: Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Review (WirtsLegs)
the CDLC has a lot of good assets and they aren't done yet with more to come, the map is well made, especially for use in armoured combat and one of the largest out there. I have some gripes but most are quite minor, overall a very fun addition to arma 3
Pros:
- Good map for some fun armoured combat
- Every building enterable and the map is huge
- Good assets for east/west Germany and Poland
- Force Recon is a lot of fun
- Responsive dev team on their discord, very willing to help/answer questions etc
Neutral:
- Map doesnt have a border crossing for those undercover missions, as I understand it there simply wasnt one there during the time depicted so this is realistic thus a neutral point
- Map has no airfields, you can place them to use roadways etc and adding one would be unrealistic as the area chosen did not have an airfield,
Cons/wishlist:
- I do wish we had a soviet and US or generalised NATO faction, would be neat to get some bradleys etc in the mix
- I would love to see 1 more tank on each side (not another variant of the Leo 1 or T-55)
- Lack of helicopters, red side has mi-2 only, which is fine but just one more option would be good to have
- No Jets, I get it, no airfields so why bother...but for making missions id love to have them as AI bombing the players or w/e
- Armoured combat is held back by abysmal Arma 3 vehicle AI, hard to setup real-ish tactics PvE missions when the AI breaks if you have more than 1 vehicle in a group haha, this isnt the fault of the CDLC devs, but it does hold back their product
- Night Vision could use a bit of tuning, I've used a lot of NVG options from the era being depicted and they weren't quite that grainy, etc
