They pickup an AT weapon, their label is updated to indicate that they're now 'AT'. Athena displays and updates an ORBAT in real time: one of your units picks up an MG, it updates their representation to indicate that they're an AR.
Athena supports the private sharing of 'ink' or 'map drawing' with other members of your communities, again, in real time and with a great degree of control that exists outside of ARMA. Athena supports the generation of shaded 'height map' views for any ARMA map and again, that's both vanilla and custom. Athena supports the automatic import of any ARMA map and that's both vanilla and custom. Building a cockpit and want several map screens? Athena will let you do that without any additional performance impact on ARMA. As of 5, this mod is BattleEye compatible.Īt it's most basic, Athena is an application that you can run on your 2nd screen that provides a very highly accurate representation of the in-game map and displays icons for friendly units in real time: a 'blufor' tracker that runs outside of arma on a 2nd screen whether that screen is literally a 2nd monitor, a laptop, a Windows tablet or a Microsoft Surface but that's an oversimplification of what Athena offers.
