Community Radar #28

Welcome to the latest Arma Reforger Community Radar, or as we also call it, #COMRAD. We're excited to showcase another incredible community content for everyone to enjoy. Let's blast right into it!

COM-ART

Starting us off strong, we’re dropping into the field with British forces in this great shot by aiboyswich. The framing, gear detail, and overall setup made this one an easy feature.

In the chaos of battle, no one gets left behind. Taylor John Pine captures a great mid-fight scramble here, with soldiers pushing through the smoke to pull an ally to safety. Well-composed shot, and we’re looking forward to seeing more like it.

This next shot from Médicos do SUS really pulls you into the soldier's expression. That calm, serious stare does a lot of work, especially with the armor sitting quietly in the background. Simple setup, but it packs a surprising amount of emotion that is cool to see.

Moonlight, muzzle blast, and a whole lot of steel. Armor warfare has its own subtle beauty, and Hauptmann shows it off beautifully here with an Abrams framed against the fog, sparks, and that massive moon in the distance.

Someone get this man some support! Joshad2891 gives us a bit of visual storytelling here: a soldier pinned down, on the radio, and probably begging everyone on Platoon net for help as things fall apart around him. 

COM-DEV

Vietnam-era ops are getting a serious upgrade in Reforger. S&S Vietnam brings the classic Service & Supply Vietnam experience over from Arma 3 as an official port, rebuilt with support from the original project creators for players, mission makers, and fellow modders. They’ve also brought back SnS: New Wave, adding U.S. military clothing and equipment from the late 1970s through the late 1990s, with U.S. Army and Marine Corps gear now in the works and Delta Force equipment planned later. Try them out on the Workshop!

AI helicopter support just got a serious boost with REAPER AiHelicopters by r34p3r. This mod lets AI pilots fly, transport troops, land at designated zones, engage targets, and work with both vanilla and modded helicopters through Game Master and the Scenario Framework. Their latest 1.0.6 update adds hover waypoints, better landing logic, multi-weapon loadouts, WCS armament support, and simulation configs for a huge range of helicopters. It’s a great tool for mission makers and Game Masters who want more dynamic air support, transport, and attack missions without scripting everything by hand.

Solo players, this one’s for you. LONE ACTUAL: No Longer Alone gives you a full AI squad the moment you deploy, complete with roles like MG, AT, medic, marksman, and RTO, so you’re not stuck fighting the whole war by yourself. Your squad mounts up with you, dismounts when you do, replaces fallen soldiers with same-role reinforcements, and even includes extras like a faction truck, supply-free arsenal, and UH-1H support if a helipad is nearby. No dependencies or setup needed. More details can be found on their website or the Workshop.

K9 Max brings a fully scripted military working dog into the game, complete with commands for following, searching, attacking, detecting explosives, riding in vehicles, and even airborne deployment. Players can customize Max with collars, goggles, camera helmets, and tactical vests, then deploy him through kennels or Game Master setups for multiplayer operations. It’s still a work in progress, but man’s best friend just became your squad’s newest asset.

Modern REDFOR armor is getting a major upgrade from RHS, with the Kurganets-25 IFV and T-90M alongside a full suite of modular vehicle systems. Beyond the new armor, their latest update teases features like active protection systems, engine smoke, fire suppression, guided missiles, hunter-killer targeting, radar, thermals, and fire control systems. That’s a lot of tech that could make combat feel a whole lot more dangerous. Also be sure to watch our recent Q&A with the developers behind RHS on YouTube!

COM-OPS

In case you missed it, Community Manager Nillers recently teamed up with the devs behind Galactic Forces for a live showcase of the mod’s original sci-fi universe in Arma Reforger. The session brought futuristic warfare to Anizay with robotic forces, energy shields, flyable dropships, orbital laser strikes, and plenty of community chaos in a live Game Master scenario. Check out the full VOD or catch other perspectives from BlueTheRobot and DunderBerit. You can also try Galactic Forces for yourself on the Workshop and join their Discord to keep up with future updates.

COM-VIDEO

The 1.8 Major Update is here, and Azzey is already digging into what’s new. His latest video breaks down the update’s key changes, including Far Hiding, AI detection, barefoot movement, squad roles, and some expanded fortification options for WCS. Check it out to see how these changes could affect your playstyle and the flow of battles.

Five stars, questionable survival rate. JereZiii takes on the noble duty of becoming an Uber driver in an active warzone, picking up passengers, dodging bullets, and somehow keeps moving. Check out the video for a funny trip across the battlefield.

Bringing a WW1 bolt-action rifle to a modern firefight is definitely a choice, and BobKaladin makes the most of it. His latest video drops him into The Eastern Front server with a Mosin Nagant against modern automatic weapons, leading to plenty of close calls and the occasional perfectly timed jinx. Check it out on YouTube!

Who says a coordinated effort can’t clutch the match? Aadix and his team throw themselves into some of the most intense fights we’ve seen, pushing through contested ground and enemy-held territory to turn the tide against opposing forces. Check it out for some seriously heavy firefights.
