Welcome to Coalition! Just follow a few easy steps and you'll be able to join our Arma 3 sessions in no time

Download our Modpack

- You can obtain the modpack by either of these two methods: Arma3Sync or Swifty 3.

Both of these programs are community-developed projects that allow you to easily download, install, and keep the mods we use on our servers in sync.

NOTE: Recommended startup parameters:

 -nosplash -noLogs -skipIntro -hugepages -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -enableHT -world=empty -maxmem=12800 -exThreads=7 -cpuCount=4

CONNECT TO TEAMSPEAK
- ts3.coalitiongroup.net
- Teamspeak info can be found here: http://coalitiongroup.net/wiki/index.php/Server_Information

AT SESSION TIME, JOIN THE SLOTTING CHANNEL AT THE BOTTOM OF TEAMSPEAK

The slotting channel can be found here, at the bottom of teamspeak!

- Click "Join" on Swifty or A3Sync
- When a mission is being slotted, you will slot when you hear "Recruits and Public Players"
  - If you join a mission late after it has started, please take a "Join in Progress (JIP)" slot at the bottom.
- NOTE: As a Public Player, you are limited in the slots you are able to take:
  - Assistant Automatic Rifleman
  - Grenadier
  - Rifleman Anti-tank

For new ARMA players

If you are new to ARMA or the mods we use (like ACE medical, or ACRE radios), we can give you a short rundown of the basics before session. All you need to do is ask in discord or TS! We also suggest you attend pre-join 45 minutes prior to session start. During pre-join you can test the modpack on our server as well as ask any questions that you might have!

NOTE: Recommended startup parameters:

 -nosplash -noLogs -skipIntro -hugepages -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -enableHT -world=empty -maxmem=12800 -exThreads=7 -cpuCount=4

Next Steps

If you enjoy Coalition and would like unrestricted slotting, and the ability to slot as Medic, Leadership, Pilot, or other specialty slots, visit our website and apply to become a full member.
