![]() Many also prefer the TFAR idea of long range and short-range radios. ACRE promises to be a realistic radio simulation, TFAR offers a simplified and reliable radio experience. It is hard to say which mod is better in this aspect because both mods do what they promise well. RadiosThe crux of the mod, probably the single most important factor of these two mods. So very quickly if you are using TFAR 0.9.12 it is by far the worst option you have to date with the exception of using the Vanilla in game VOIP function.Ĥ. TFAR Beta in it's initial release had lots and lots of bugs.Īnyway, I could go on and on about the more recent history of both mods, but I'm sure most people have stopped reading by now. However, we all found that a 1 man development team had issues. Dedmen Miller brought over to the TFAR all the functionality and reliability of TFAR but added a modern twist to it with ACE support, the same coding for proximity chat for ACRE, vehicle intercoms (that were found in ACRE) and whole bunch of other features. It has been fully integrated into ACE3, has Zeus support and a tonne of extra features TFAR does not have.Īround the beginning of 2017 a german modder by the name of Dedmen Miller took over the development of the TFAR mod promising to develop it into a full 1.0 release, to this day it is referred to TFAR Beta.

The original ACRE 2 releases were buggy, unreliable and for most users a total pain in the ♥♥♥ to get working.īasically, the ACRE team were caught sleeping. And for quite sometime the only choice.Īs the ACE devs moved over to ArmA 3 and started developing AGM (Authentic Gameplay Modification) and CSE (Combat Space Environment) the ACRE mod was left at the start line.įrom what I remember the ACRE team tried porting what was effectively ACRE for A2 over to A3 with very little success. This is where TFAR came in, it was the first radio mod for ArmA 3. ![]() They instead continued to develop ACRE for the A2 Milsim community.
