Still the best gang to ever touch the server back in 2020.

It's a level 2 vest
people don't like armor stackingOnly really matters if it were lvl 3. If the armor doesn’t add up to lvl 5 then it doesn’t make you any harder to kill using a 762. Plus as lub said cops already have lvl 4 armor if they have unlocked pilot covs and use a police vest. So it probably also wouldn’t hurt to add the regular lvl 4 vest? 🙂

The monthly average gives you a pretty good idea. The peak player count is between 25-28k in recent months. There is not way there is 20-25k people on a day with averages of 12k with a 25k peak.
The 24 hour peak on the steam charts rn is at 20k lol. Plus that’s only counting for the amount of people playing at one time. Not the other people in different time zones that play around the time we start to get off.

Its honestly entirely expected to be at a single server at this point. The only one running multiple servers at this point is KOTH.
During the time of 4 servers Arma 3 easily Avg'd 20k-22k Players 46,000 - 50,000 Peak players. (All time peak was 56,000). Now Arma 3 averages 12-15k peak of 25k. So you have half as many peak players and we also allow in 40% more players to a single server. I know people have thick nostalgia glasses but lets not even pretend all 4 servers were always full. Granted i never tried to play S1 at that time as it was always full. But 2-4 could easily be entered. Players also are just not sinking in the same amount of time. Back then players were frequently dumping 8-12 hours on the server. After 6+ years of playing it's unreasonable to expect that they would play the same # of hours. And its not like Arma 3 has done anything to entice new players to join. Id actually wager that during those "Free weekends" they actually lost potential buyers as every server was just constantly and instantly blown up by some hacker on a brand new steam account with $1 cheats.
As of right this second we literally have the most players in ALL of arma.
So either just every sinlge arma 3 server has shit communitys/administration. Or its natural progressionI’d say the amount of people playing each day is closer to 20k-30k. Atleast it was like that for awhile this year and before.

Its locked behind a rank that only 10% of the APD hold, your point of rebels being able to escape would imply that they should get away 100% of the time.
not exactly. plenty of other ways to follow a group of rebels escaping an event. you just shouldn't be on their necks with Armor 24/7 because you have a frit and they do too

They already have an advantage though, I don't understand your point. They get to defend a point vs push a point. They get access to every piece of gear, weapon and vehicles that 90% of the APD doesn't have access to..
it needs to be a civ only vehicle. the purpose of the cops not having it was so the rebels could escape. the APD has more benefits than they have ever had before so it's turned to trying to make it more of a fair fight than a advantage. also idk what you mean by you don't have access to 90% of the gear civs do. you have access to practically everything and more it's just locked behind ranks.

Your argument doesn't make sense, If you truly want a even playing field then everyone should have access to the same gear and vehicles.
Its not suppose to be an even playing field is the point REBELS ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE. 2016-2018 era APD did not have frits and they performed fine.

Remove Frits for Civs as well if you want to make it fair. While your at it give all ranks MK1s so everyone is on the same playing field.
Rebels are meant to have an advantage. As I said when I play cop I have a blast fighting fed events. it boils down to it being a skill issue at the end of the day.

Lol I think there's a grand total of 2 LT's who willingly pull Ifrits. If we really wanted to reduce the Ifrit count, then make a limit of like 2 per LT so ifrit spam doesn't occur. But limiting it to 1 per Captain who gets on every blue moon is absurd.
And yes, we aren't supposed to win every fed event. But without ifrits, we've recently been losing nearly EVERY SINGLE ONE to the point the economy started feeling the affects. Ifrit's give us a slightly better chance. You start losing, and come here crying. You aren't supposed to win every time either pal.
You can't handle a bunch of players with maybe 100 hours dropping out of ifrits (that they've maybe never even driven before) but you can handle 1000+ hour cartel players rushing in 7+ frits? Sound's like you just want to make fed event's slaughterhouses. With dwindling APD numbers, this is NOT the answer. Taking from the APD is a god awful idea currently unless we want to kill the APD off completely @RoguePilot
2016-2018 was a prime time of asylum. Cops didn't have frits back then. you shouldn't be given hand me downs to compensate for a skill gap. you should force the bad players to get better. Wokka and RDM cqc servers are open 24/7 for people to play on and practice.

It's boring to fight rebels sat on a roof that's borderline impossible to push because the stairs throw you off half the time and kill you. But we get told to suck it up.
Anyway, I'm happy to talk about removing cop ifrits but rebels can lose 7.62 as the tradeoff 🙂
the original bank had a ladder you had to climb to get to the roof instead of the stairs. sooooooo

If we remove ifrits what would you give the cops instead? @Dillon
More slots for Swat. as cops with MK's don't matter as much as a frit full of cops with MK's

How would you change the usage of ifirits if we didnt take them away from the APD? @Dillon
Limit them to one captain each. They should be considered highly valuable vehicle

I think it's clearly you who has no idea what you're talking about. Ask any active cop on the server about federal event spam and you will hear the opposite of what you're stating. You have 6.5 hours on cop in the last 30 days though so of course you're extremely versed on the subject. Also using the term "roleplay faction" as an insult on a roleplay server kinda hints as to why you're on this one and complaining about an actual fair fight. You'd rather get those sweet sweet easy kills on people here to actually have fun so you can get that big ol' bounty up.
if you ask any of the old players if its more fun the current way it is or the way it was back in 2016-2018 they will tell you 2016-18. The Rebels are suppose to have an advantage over the apd. whenever I fight fed events on cop I love the fights as they are usually fun. issue with you guys is YOU want to win everytime which you won't which then leads you to complain and then what do you know cops have frits now! Rebels obviously aren't suppose to win everytime either but they should win MOST of the time. it should be made fair not based on giving them the same vehicles or guns but the skill of the people playing. maybe thats why I have more fun playing cop then you and I don't complain but hey thats just me. Also its a light roleplay server if you want heavy roleplay go play garrysmod where you have to do /me's or go and play anzus where after everyfight you have to revive the opposing side.

From the APD Guidebook - Processing > Seizing --
An area must be deemed "All Clear" by the highest ranking officer on the scene before any vehicles can be impounded or seized. However vehicles may be seized in combat if you are at the HQ. You may search/seize contraband from a player or vehicle at any time or place, even if in combat
Haven't you been a cop for a while now? You should know you can seize illegal items/contraband at ANY point or time...
I don't main cop mr ski man cole and I only remember the parts that are required to pass the RA 🙂

The fight would be much more enjoyable if blowing up houses wasn't a part of it.
I think the whole point of trying to take gang fortress is to win, this seems like a pretty pointless argument. Of course the fight is enjoyable, but you're fighting to take control of gang fort for your gang.
no duh the point is to win but if thats all you think about you are gonna have a shit time especially if you lose.

There's hardly enough cops online as it is due to federal event spam and you're suggesting to remove something that actually allows the APD a better chance to fight rebels. Rebels aren't supposed to win every fight and there's hardly ever anyone with the rank to pull ifrits.
lol
WHAT FEDERAL EVENTS? no one is doing anything except banks ur actually delusional. not only that but ur a paramedic so you have 0 clue what ur talking about. go back to ur roleplay faction reviving people in kavala 🤡
