Hello, wouldn’t it be possible to get the opportunity to get familiar with each map beforehand getting right into battle?
A sandbox mode of each map could enable players to run trough or even free fly over and provide some very much needed map knowledge.
That would at least prevent many players from dying countles times and putting together pieces of map information after changing maps over a frustratingly long time…
Really great game so far and very much enjoying it! Just wanting to avoid running around mapscouting in battles while others try their best to win…
Thanks and cheers!

I don’t fully disagree but
You would get even less information than currently you can gather in a match trying and failing on the first times.
You wouldn’t know where the enemy would come.
You wouldn’t know what parts of the map are playable at any moment
You wouldn’t know the objectives, where to cover, where to look.
Etc etc
That type of info, you gather as we all did. Playing.
We don’t loose nothing besides time when we loose a match. So getting used to a map, layout, and so on comes with practice on the batlefield
I would rather have the devs spending some time coding a way for us to have a custom server running the map or settings we want than coding a sandbox only to walk around.
Personally, I would make a invasion with more points to capture, huge times to capture and like 10000(lol) invaders tickets. And me and my team trying to defend the land.
That would bring more life time to this game.

There’s nothing like a baptism of fire! So, take your mass produced rifle, your 5 round clip and charge those lmgs!!!
It would be a simple kind of half transparent overlay of mapborders…
Sure, i agree that try and fail and get better argument… but after having completed normandy (while trying and failing nad so on) and currently playing berlin…I instantly see opportunities in certain corners or buildings! Not in the mood to fail and loose time (waiting for 1 map to come back)and to try out an idea some time later maybe…
Thats why I would be more interested to simply see beforehand like “oh, there is a watchtower far on a flank that IS or is NOT suited from its possible fireangles (trees etc) to build an MG-nest on it” for exemple…
Or just trying out that roof is possible to climb on or that other only if u build a sandbag in front of it…
Such things…
Sandbox on every map will help a lot in finding and recording tons of ingame bugs.

that’s why pve matches should be a thing 
and the solution at the same time.

Nice suggestion, I did not dare to suggest it but was thinking about it since a long while, so if I may extend it with an idea… Sorry for the length.
I wish to have this sandbox mode optionally with AI squads. One such mode could be newbie-friendly, with non-respawning AI defending some fixed locations.
Mode selection could be as follows:
Practice mode, selected map/mode/phase:
- Maisky Foresty
- Invasion
- Objective 2 (+location name here) as attacker
Match type:
( ) PvE - AI squads play like regular players
(*) AI defends specific locations, not respawning
( ) empty map
Options:
[ ] show enemy on map (no XP)
[ ] toggle free fly on shortcut … (no XP)
[ ] ability to freely add opponent AI squads (no XP)
In this AI defender mode,
- AI is forced to protect like 10 locations, preferably more densely where enemy is expected from, but each squad a different place
- AI would not respawn
- We’d enter the map with a single squad but without respawn limits
- Map could show the enemy as well, to make it easier to clean up
- Kills would add XP in non-sandbox cases - but not as much, like half or less of normal gameplay
- Instead of single player maybe even friends could try out this mode, and then one of the players can introduce the map to newbies
It could be perfect subject for speedruns as well. (But unfortunately each AI update would invalidate said speedrun results.)
What is your opinion? (Apart from the fact I’m writing too much? 
)
We need access to the campaign map!In practice, of course.

Clearly, you are not working in gajin\darkflow xD
You need to add something for the PVE mode,something that is bought separately!

add editor mode, make new arma competitive game, bring in clans, more money, more maps more units, add light armor, best ww2 around
Premium units for a fucking PvE gamemode. Okay shitter!
And you need to buy a premium, otherwise the bots will kill across the entire map in a rifle jump, and the bots are machine gunners… well, you know.
What?
I mean only hardcore for those who are without a premium.
