ArmA 3 cTab First Look - Commander's Tablet - FBCB2, Bluforce Tracker, UAV, and Helmetcam Interface
460Check out the official WIP thread on the BIS forums: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?163030-WIP-cTab-Commander-s-Tablet-FBCB2-Bluforce-Tracker
Today we get a first look at a really awesome WIP ArmA 3 mod called "cTab", Commander's Tablet.
The purpose behind the mod is to create an environment in game in which not everyone can simply see map markers and friendly and enemy locations on the map - Only those with the proper interface device can. cTab is a mod that focuses on a FBCB2/BluForce Tracker simulation, as well as some other really cool features.
Final plans for cTab are at least 3 interface options. The cTab rugged tablet itself, a squad level andriod device, and a BluForce Tracker interface for every vehicle. In addition to the devices, the commander's tablet itself will have the following options:
UAV Camera Interface - The ability to see what the UAVs up in the air are seeing, or even take direct control of the Darter UAV's camera(camera only, not total UAV control)
Helmet Cam Interface - The commander's job can get pretty hectic. To help with this, a helmet cam interface for Squad Leaders and Platoon HQ. There will be a helmet camera object that can be placed into the inventory of certain people, and the tablet will be able to see the view from all currently active helmet cams on the battlefield.

-FAQ:
Q:What are your system specs?
A: i5 Ivy Bridge 3570k; 120 gig SSD; 1tb Standard HD(for recording); 8 gigs ram; nVidia Geforce GTX 560ti (I run ArmA anywhere between 20-60 FPS, on med-high settings)
Q: What do you use for recording?
A: Fraps for video and system audio; Audacity for personal audio.
Q: Why don't you play in First Person?
A: I'm a 3rd person gamer. I hate first person. It's unrealistically restricting. A game has to be extremely exceptional to get me to play it if it's First Person Only(i.e. Planetside).
Q: Were you in the Military?
A: US Army 99-06, Radio Operator(25C). Non-Combat Veteran.
Q: Is that AI or real people?
A: If it's Wasteland or DayZ, it's real people. If it's an ArmA Mission it's AI unless I very specifically state otherwise. The 15th doesn't PvP.
Q: What ArmA mods do you use?
A: For ArmA 2 - ACE/ACRE are the core. Others include: DFS 3rd Person, Instantviewdistance, SMK Animations Lite, ST_Collision and ST_Evasive, and Blastcore WarFX. For sound: Vanilla mixed with JSRS.
For ArmA 3 - Will change often as mods are released.
Q: Can I join your unit?
A: 15th MEU Realism Unit: http://www.15thmeu.net The 15th is always recruiting(Must be 17 or older)
Q: When will the 15th switch over to ArmA 3?
A: When it's proven to be un-buggy, playable, and has all modern USMC assets modded in. In short - Not soon.
