Many roles {{Emdash}} and sometimes it's specified for a whole element {{Emdash}} have something called a ''march load''. This is the '''maximum''' weight a kit for that role may have. This is set to balance firepower and stamina consumption. You should meet this load as closely as possible. You may intuitively believe that being very underweight is a positive, but it's more likely you will cause yourself problems later. | Many roles {{Emdash}} and sometimes it's specified for a whole element {{Emdash}} have something called a ''march load''.

Sometimes, especially for leadership roles, a person will operate more than 1 radio. This is usually a combination of short (e.g Baofeng, 343) and long-range (e.g 152, 148) radios. One can hear as many radios as they can carry, but ACRE2 only lets you have a key to talk on 3 at a time. | Sometimes, especially for leadership roles, a person will operate more than 1 radio.

A common idea shown in media is that a car door will stop bullets. Aside from vehicles designed to be armored, a car door will ''not'' stop a bullet, and so in that scenario the door is concealment. The same goes even for (non-brick) walls {{Emdash}} the walls of modern residential buildings likely won't stop a bullet, and thus they are concealment. | A common idea shown in media is that a car door will stop bullets.

Video games represent these things as cover because it is easy and is expected behavior. However, Arma does ''not'' follow this trend. Bullets can and ''will'' go through non-armored cars, (some) walls, and other kinds of material. | Video games represent these things as cover because it is easy to develop and is expected behavior.

Cover should always be preferred to concealment when possible. Concealment is more-so used when staying on the move, or bounding, and access to cover is spotty. In a firefight, proper cover should be prioritized immediately. | Cover should always be preferred to concealment when possible.
