you have to use a script. Such as =BTC= Logistics. Then you can change the script yourself so a little bird can lift a tank if you wanted

Tanks cannot be carried by little birds (weight). Remember there is a reason we have whats called "Cargo choppers" and these such as the Chinook are designed for carrying weight. Also on average you drop tanks from an airplane.

The guy who posted earlyer was only saying with scripting you can make the editor do whatever you wish even if unrealistic such as a little bird carrying a tank when its physically impossible to do so.

How did you do that with a straight-face?

Simple a little bird has not the engine power to support a tank such as the M1. Also a Littlebird frame is too weak to support such stress upon it. I say it with a straight face so people dont get confused and say something stupid as if in real life a little bird has such ablities.

You "Can make a little bird lift a tank with scripting" but ask a little bird to attempt this feat in real life, and it wont even move the tank a single inch

Usually you just need to hover over the VEHICLE you want to lift, and use the mouse scroll wheel to select 'lift vehicle'. Or that's how it was in A2, atleast. I don't think I've even tried in A3 yet, though, so I might be talking outta my rear here.

I remember in ArmA 1/2 in a Warfare mod you could lift vehicles, they allowed you to carry light vehicles such as humvees but the M1 Abrams and T72 heavy tanks were considered too heavy to carry. You could carry artillery pieces as well. It really depends on the mod, vanilla ArmA 3 most likely won't have that as an option but we'll see. I remember a mod that limited the carrying to Chinooks but not any other helicopter...

So is scripting allowed, or is it considered cheating then? I've never understood this,

When people mention scripts it's server side, basically it's a script of code that allows a change, action or addition to the game from my understanding. So if someone added a means to le'ts say flip an ATV upright then they would make a script for it, that way the server knows what's happening and what it needs to do. That's my understanding of it anyway.

As for cheating, if you were running scripts that gave you an edge, did something the servers owners didn't want you doing etc then thats cheating, hacking being a script kiddie or whatever. The cheaters abuse the system by using scripts that they shouldn't be using.
