Description
OLD SCHOOL TACTICAL ESSENTIALS is a collection of mods deemed necessary for most tactical experience in ArmA 3. Most of these mods are mandatory on tactical servers today.

I have originally created this collection to accompany my Tactical Community Gathering Guide found here - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=952382019

Please support tactical gaming in A3 by rating this collection as well as sharing it with your friends.
