Overview
Preface
NSWDG Arma-3 aims to be an authentic historical recreation of select components of Naval Special Warfare Development Group, along with associated support elements, set during the mid to late GWOT. This is a hardcore mil-sim environment with extensive skills development. Operations will be long, immersive, and designed to reflect the pace and complexity of real-world special operations.
Operations/Gameplay
Operations will be full-spectrum and persistent, meaning we aim to simulate as much of our JSOTF and its associated elements as possible, frequently operating from an airbase with a realistic operational tempo. Heavy Zeus involvement and player-driven OPFOR/roleplay will be core components of what we are trying to achieve. Rather than running generic Zeus-made missions during deployments, we aim to simulate an entire JSOTF area of responsibility, creating a living and breathing environment where dynamic gameplay opportunities and realistic tactics can shine. Almost all of your experience, from the interview onwards, will take place within Arma-3 through TeamSpeak, in-game documentation, and our custom systems. Discord primarily serves as our communication platform for announcements, support, and community discussion, while our personnel portal handles scheduling, attendance, leave requests, training management, documentation, intelligence documentation and personnel administration.
Trainings/Scheduling
Training will be extensive in the capabilities it provides the element; however, we recognize that very long qualification pipelines can be limiting for those with busy schedules, so we aim to make the process as efficient as possible. That being said, we expect members to participate frequently, with the goal of conducting 3-4 four-hour operation blocks per week during deployment phases, alongside 3-4 primary training sessions during Green Team and ProDev/work-up phases. Members are also encouraged to hop on whenever available throughout the week for additional training opportunities. Should this training tempo be maintained, a class of experienced Arma-3 players could complete Green Team in as little as a month. Our environment is focused on authentic operations; we do not conduct PT sessions or military ceremonies. All we ask is for a group of people dedicated to authentic tactical and historical recreation to a high standard. Dual clanning is generally disallowed.
Mod Development
We have, and will continue to, develop custom gear, weapons, and equipment to accurately match the periods in which we deploy and train. Additionally, we develop custom systems, training assets, deployment assets, and vehicles to enhance both realism and the overall experience. These include quality-of-life improvements, tactical stance systems, killhouse training systems, navigation equipment, intelligence systems, vehicles, and much more.
