Hey guys, and welcome back to another Arma 3 video. 2022 has been a busy year, as we’ve seen the launch of Arma Reforger and have been gifted with the news that Arma 4 is on its way, but that has not slowed down the modding community in the slightest, in fact I think it’s reinvigorated a lot of the creators to push the envelope of what's possible. In this video I’m going to cover my personal picks of the Top 25 mods of 2022. Of course there are way more than 25 incredible mods that launched in 2022 but I don’t have the ability to make 5 hour long videos and even then I don’t think it would scratch the surface. Please know that just because they’re higher or lower on this list does not mean they’re less or more valuable. I’ve been messing with a ton of mods this year, and if they made it onto this list, you know it got my pants tight. We’ve seen a ton of incredible new mods this year and it gets me excited for the future of modding as the community gets smarter and more experienced. Now with that, let's get right into the Top 25 mods of 2022.

I gotta say, Arma getting mods for interactive cockpits for aircraft is cool, but it’ll always feel strange to use them for me seeing as I am almost always playing DCS and the thought of doing this in something other than DCS confuses my small brain.
Nothing can top DCS, for sure. Having it in Arma 3 is a lot of fun though! Just adds a little more immersion for players :)
@@Viper1Zero the interactivity is nice, but it feels waisted with armas simplified flight models and physics.
@@Viper1Zero Hey, I have seen you many times using a mod while in an military aircraft. You can move your camera around your cockpit. Can you tell me what mod it is? :D
@@mihai_balan_in_puscarie Not a mod. It’s TrackIR 5 :)

@@bourbon2605 yeah, he just reuploads the same mods but changes year. Cool "new" video
Thank you for featuring our mod! Me and the entire PLUS team are very happy to see the Fire Support Plus mod being featured in another video.
Thank YOU for all your guys’ awesome work!
Awesome run down of so meant amazing mods, Viper! I love that you have such a huge variety of mod types covered here. Truely something for everyone!
Thanks, brother!! Appreciate the kind words, man.
What a way to end the video! The H-60 pack! I love it! Can't fly any H-60 if it ain't from that mod. I get picked on for crashing a lot in high stress situations but I love flying it . I went full in with this mod when learning Advanced Flight module. Truly a work of art
Its probably one of the best mods I've ever seen. Definitely Top 10 ever.
Great to see Mortarius Hunter getting the attention he deserves. If you haven't already, play his Rabid Rat campaign.
With over 625 mods downloaded, I am very happy to see some showcased that I didn't have. That Hatchet Mod though.. she's really making my SF missions pop 🤘💀🤘 As always, splendid work @Viper1Zero 🤘
I was 'bout to miss this! GOOD WORK as always!
It's amazing how people make these mods I hope creating missions in Arma 4 will have a book with all the scripts
Great video as always Viper. We're really enjoying the Hatchet Mod as well. Its fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed! Hatchet really is incredible.
I didn’t even know the A-10 one was a thing!! I’m definitely trying that one tonight!
A great set of mods here. A bodycam mod would be pretty cool. No Mans Land and OPCOM are also really great and I will be checking those out. As cool as the clickable cockpits are, they are way too complex for my small brain so I think I will be sticking to the Vanilla Arma startup, although the APU Startup mod could be a good in-between mod. 2 mods that I discovered from your videos and now can't live without are LAxemann's Align and Immerse, they add so much to infantry gameplay for being to simple. Overall, great modset and I am interested to see what's coming in the next months and next year, including the amazing mod that you know is coming
Thank you for featuring Libertad (again). I'm personnally a huge fan of Cytech and I'm glad taht people still create awesome mods for Arma 3.
Awesome Video as always. That H-60 is amazing, all the modes featured here are A+ Level! Thank you for featuring the Sky Guardians f-16 texture mod! Regards Xram!
Thanks for all your amazing work with the Vipers!! Love your mod (if you couldn't tell).
Great video buddy. Love seeing ArmA 3 content.
I think what make Arma a great game is the mod community they can gift the player so great futures and addition to the vanilla game that the developer will not or simply couldn't deliver. My thanks to all the modder out there for their work and their time. Arma for me without mods could never be the success it is right now.
Thanks for a new list of mods to check out :D
Enjoy!
after 4000 total hours and 857 mods acquired, ive come back to the most simple of all, now after all these missions i come to realize that the more simple it is the better, a few quality of life mods and some effects, thank you for helping me become more simple
That was the realization arc I followed as well. Sometimes less is more.
AC5 music in the background is the best, it was my first plane related game back in the ps2
Downloading this list for use after work. You had me at the kick
That shit slaps!!!
A add on to simple craters taken from the Army Demolition handbook could be very cool. I forget the page but basically you can use these freakishly large shaped charges (like 50 or 60 lbs) you point at the ground in a staggered formation with the larger one's being on the outside and when detonated they leave a 30 foot or deaper sheered off ledge that tanks can't get up. If they can't go around they have to set up machine guns to cover workers to dig it out. Very nasty.
11:25 Dude casually kicking the jet lol
Better Inventory is a must have for me these days. Great video as always
Its incredible. Thanks, my friend!
Thank you for featuring Exocet Inspecting Weapons! Dont forget to check out the latest update for some cool new features =D
UPDATES YOU SAY 👀👀👀
Number 15 looking fire 🔥
That song brings back such childhood memories (ps2 days)
I would like to see more mods with uav/loitering and kamikaze drones. Switchblade is not only one used in this conflict and there is some really interesting weapons. Shahed 136, Lantcet or CUB. In arma not so many even reconnaissance drones. I hope modders will keep up with the times.
Saved the best for last! Jolly/Pedro in the mixxxx
coincidence you put ace combat 5 menu music on here i been thinking about getting back on there lol
Thanks for your work man
Anytime!
Great video! I just wish Arma had native VR by now... It's hard to go back to flat-screen flying after DCS and FS2020
VR would be cool, but I'd rather it be an capability rather than being built specific for VR. Strict VR games are... meh (Except VTOL VR)
Hey, Thanks for the recognition. It was a labor of love. Glad to see it is still worthy.
Bro its absolutely one of the most unique mods on the workshop. I actually submitted to AFSOC leadership that we should get out of the CV-22 business and get the V-280 Valor, but the Army just shut the program down.
Always enjoy your videos... So much Mods I What to try but No System For ArmA 3 I have all my Save Missions waiting ... I hope to be Back in ArmA 3 Soon... and Before ARMA4!!
Glad you enjoy!
Wish it was more VR friendly. Tank, chopper and jets in VR would be amazing 😊
I wonder if Japan in 2035 also had done some shady things like: 1. Trying to contain giant monsters from sea 2. Try to start World War III by framing China and North Korea through cyberterrorism 3. Developing virtual reality world and AI for military purposes in a floating fortress 4. Opening a portal to another world 5. Sending their destroyer back in time to alter WWII
Second! Havent watched yet but surely it's going to be a great showcase
You're apart of the winning team, that's all that matters XD
@Viper1Zero and you're gonna get it ( 19:30 )
@@thevestarr N U T
hey man... i really enjoyed the east wind campaign, i thought it'd supplant operation flashpoint as my favourite bohemia campaign, but it kinda wore out after you have to... run across a... deserted city... it was super lame... that was years ago though, has the campaign been fleshed out/finished since then?
awesome video but i got a question, how do you look around in planes like in 07:42
TrackIR, my guy!
@@Viper1Zero thanks
Very glad to hear A4 is a thing. I hate to say it but they need to keep A4 a pc only game. Can you link where you got the news about A4. TIA.
Ace Combat (04?) soundtrack fuckin brought me back!!! Classic
I play with everything ON in ACE.
A lot of people do! I love ACE.
The mecanic kiking the part on the f16 at 11.25
He has had it with it's bullsh*t
What explosion mods do you use? They’re gorgeous, I’ve yet to replicate something close lol
I use a mod called Blastcore compiled by neetch
Honestly what I love most about this video are all the mods you included that focus on giving a fun, open, Battlefield like experience with better AI and living active maps. I absolutely love this!
Can these be implemented in single player ? Literally download the game last night and messed around in bootcamp abd VR training but am very much overwhelmed w everything this game has to offer. I'm still over here learning M&K 😅😅🤝
Viper do you know of any mod that allow me to put a squadmates helmetcam (first person view) on a HUD panel? (like the left/right hudpanel where you can put GPS, Radar, etc)? Would really like to be able to get my mates first person PIP on my hud for some cool tacticool shit
I THINK cTAB lets you do that, but I'm not 100% certain, you'll have to try it out and see.
Fighter crew chief here love the idea of hearing the proper launch sequence in and out of game😂
Hell yeah! Where you at in the world these days? From what I understand...there is a high fidelity F-16 being developed RIGHT now. ;)

now this might just piss you off im working on the loudest jet in the fleet, the f35

@@robertofernandez9854 I’m at Hurlburt Field, get plenty of 35s screaming over from Eglin
The mods are cool, but I came here to give the proper wink for Ace Combat soundtrack use.
Fantastic content as always BUT SIR.. you neeeed to check out "LZ X-Ray" by Sky Dong You wont regret it
I saw that on the workshop! I had already finalized my script when that dropped, so it’ll surely get included in another vid :)
Hey why does your nuke on fire support plus look so good, mine just makes my screen yellow or doesn't even have an effect at all.
The one from the video was a small yield nuke and thus didnt make everything immediately yellow.
@@Viper1Zero but it had a flash, like a bloom effect, I'm just wonderin if this is a external graphics mod or something?
nice video
will the mods work on multiplayer?
What is that ace Combat Song at the start of the video called again?
I would love to see a global map and fully functional submarines
What track did you use at the beginning? It sounds like Stardust from Ace Combat 4
I found it, it's actually Sitting Duck which has similar themes to Stardust
Yup, it’s Sitting Duck :)
you gotta review pla armored vehicles pack once
You deployed with the HH60G? What year was it? We might have crossed paths.
May - Oct 2016, Camp Lemmonier with the 303 ERQS
@@Viper1Zero I have been to AFG twice, Iraq 3 times from 2010-2021.
11:25 Did that guy just kick the shit out of that poor F-16? 😂
He might have 😂😂
Still got my own column lets go! Very good video as always.
Long asf ass name LOL
The APU mod is cool for heavies, but fighters don't have on board APUs.... They require a dash 60, or other power cart. - Former USAF Maintainer
What would be a Viper1Zero's review without a F16 retexture mod? 😋😂
I'm really hoping for an interactive cockpit eastern aircraft. I'd take a chinse knock-off at this point
One day I’m sure we’ll get one!
I actually like the ace medical stuff for players, but it must be a mod or DLC I use because the medical system for AI’s is ridiculous. Love shooting a unit directly with a tank round multiple times and he just patches himself and gets back up
Yup, my exact issue with it. Also the body armor need some work. Shouldnt take 4 rounds of 7.62 to the chest to drop a dude.
YES
Thank you for the interesting mod list, worth checking. P.s.: russian hostility in Ukraine is since 2014, when it invaded eastern parts and annexed Crimea
Correct, that’s why I said “current” hostilities. And you’re welcome, glad you enjoyed!
I get a really annoying issue the vehicle propeties are really slow to open, I don't know if are the mods to cause it? Anyone have the same problem ?
Now we need an AC130 interactive mod
That would slap
Maybe you can help me… Hi 👋 How can I turn off anti-missiles Traps on Enemy aviation? All My Anti-aircraft defences don’t works 😢
The Hatchet H-60 pack is by far my favorite mod from this list, but I don't like that you need ace to use this mod.
Gonna be honest, I don’t either. Really wish it didn’t depend on ACE, but it was built with MILSIMers in mind, so it makes sense as to why.
Let’s go!!
The Hatchet 60 is a sophisticated mod for sure, but she's finicky in the air. Don't disrespect her or she'll drive you into the ground.
Yeah you definitely have to respect your collective, cant just yank on it like vanilla Arma or even the AFM.
Hell yeah.
new video wooooh 👀
You might have been featured. I dunno 🤷♂️
@@Viper1Zero oh noice~ Saw that 👍 very appreciated it
just wish the graghics were more modern though but cool a hell anyways.
Yeah its starting to show its age a bit, but GOD do I still think Arma 3 is one of the most visually pleasing games anywhere.
What mod features the f-16 @7:40?
Project RACS, releasing soon :)
What explosion mod are you using
Blastcore compiled by neetch
Can someone tell me what kind of mod that leaves a smoke trail from missiles?
AC3 but without all the modules that make it good. kek
17:29 is this for real ? 10k usd on the assets ?
What f-16 where u using when the video first started?
PRACS mod F-16SCJ. Coming soon :)
Hello, how can i play with mods but without steam (Steam offline)? Can i download mods and install manually, does this works for me?
No, you need to buy the game. Non-Steam mods are pretty much dead after the shutdown of Armaholic.
I want to be a helicopter pilot, so I'm open to any realistic helicopter mods. I will probably try out the DCS helis too, but I'll have to buy a PC for that.
Actually the DCS communith UH-60L mod is free and it's fantastic!
5:10 that is super pointless and i fucking love it.
I’m trying to use “where am I” mod and it’s saying game failed to start, a lot of the mods I used to use I can’t play anymore
In Reforger? Yeah a lot of mine broke too, it was the new update.

Does someone know why air support + is not working for me i dont have this options in zeus to spawn
It’s Fire Support +, and they’re split under different modules within Zeus. A few are under the standard “Fire Support” section in Zeus.
Is this the ace combat 04 ost 👀👀👀
You know it is, baby!
Lancet mod when?(
where i can find the B-2 Spirit?
It was part of the old USAF mod, unfortunately. No longer on the workshop.

Sooooooooon!! (I’m waiting too lol)
Just wanna fire m198 howitzer shell at low angle and bang all those opfor

Don't you have shadows enabled? Unless these clips are from other sources. The models in all the videos make ARMA3 look like a cheap 3d promo reel from the late 2000s.
I do, they’re set to 100m (default). Some maps get weird with shadows and GCAM.
