On the evening of May 16, 2025, virtual pilots from Val's ARMA Ops Group ("VAO Group") gathered for an ambitious and thrilling event: the "Tora Tora Tora" Friday Fun Op, masterfully crafted by Game Master Typhun, kicking off at 19:00 BST. Recreating the historical strike on Pearl Harbor from December 7, 1941, the operation tasked players with launching a surprise aerial assault on American air defenses and surface targets at Pearl Harbor and Ford Airfield. Despite some hiccups along the way, the VAO Group's passion for ARMA 3 and camaraderie shone through, making the event a memorable success.
The premise was steeped in historical drama. The VAO Group pilots took on the role of a Japanese strike force, dispatched in secrecy to a position northwest of Hawaii. The objective? Deliver a "decapitating strike" against the American fleet and neutralize key assets across the Hawaiian Islands. The briefing promised high-stakes action, with detailed orders to be revealed in-op, setting the stage for an intense and immersive experience.
The mission called for precision and coordination as pilots aimed to cripple air defenses and surface threats. With the virtual skies buzzing, the VAO Group was ready to test their skills in this meticulously planned operation.
As with any large-scale ARMA 3 event, the Tora Tora Tora Op wasn't without its challenges. Technical glitches, or "scuffs," as the VAO Group affectionately calls them, made their presence felt. From connectivity hiccups to minor issues with mission scripting, the operation didn't go off as flawlessly as planned. Some pilots faced delays, and others encountered unexpected quirks in the simulation environment.
Yet, these setbacks did little to dampen the VAO Group's enthusiasm. The VAO Group, known for its resilience and good humor, took the scuffs in stride. TeamSpeak voice comms were alive with laughter, quick workarounds, and encouragement as Game Master Typhun and players rallied to keep the mission on track.
What truly defined the evening was the sheer joy of flying with the VAO Group in ARMA 3.
Pilots dove into the action, weaving through the virtual skies above "Pearl Harbor", aka Altis, coordinating strikes, and pulling off daring maneuvers. The thrill of executing a well-timed attack run or evading enemy defenses brought players together, forging a sense of unity and shared purpose.
Even when things went awry, whether it was a modified approach or a surprise counterattack from American forces, the VAO Group leaned into the chaos. Stories of epic dogfights, narrow escapes, and unexpected heroics quickly spread, turning mishaps into cherished moments. For many, the scuffs only added to the authenticity, mirroring the unpredictable nature of real wartime operations.
Community Member Steve1234100 experienced true terror when his canopy failed to open to eject after American Forces shot him down.
The Tora Tora Tora Op was a testament to the strength of Val's ARMA Ops Group. While the mission drew inspiration from a pivotal historical event, the real story was the VAO Group. Their ability to adapt, laugh off the rough patches, and focus on the fun of flying together made the Friday Fun Op a triumph.
As the virtual smoke cleared over Pearl Harbor, the VAO Group's spirit remained sky-high. The scuffs were just a footnote in an evening filled with excitement, teamwork, and the shared love of aviation and ARMA 3. A huge thank you to Game Master Typhun, a dedicated Community Content Creator with the VAO Group and Thee Adventurer's Guild, for crafting this unforgettable experience.
Here's to the next Friday Fun Op, where the VAO Group will undoubtedly soar again, scuffs and all.

As of March 2025, Streamlabs Music has officially been discontinued, marking the end of an era for streamers who relied on it for background tunes. This change, announced via the Streamlabs Content Hub, means the app will no longer function within Streamlabs Desktop after the end of the month it was discontinued. However, there’s no need to panic, as any music previously used from the Streamlabs Music app remains DMCA-free, ensuring your existing content is safe from copyright claims. For those with the app still installed, you can continue using it until the cutoff date, after which it’s time to explore new options. If you’d like to remove it from your Streamlabs Desktop interface, simply head to Settings > Installed Apps and disable it there.
Fortunately, Streamlabs offers robust alternatives to keep your streams sounding fresh and copyright-safe. Two standout options are the Pretzel Rocks Music Player and Slip.stream, both accessible through the Streamlabs App Store. We’re thrilled to share these options with you as we’re proudly sponsored by Streamlabs, a leader in streaming tools and innovation. Let’s dive into what these alternatives offer and how they can level up your streaming game.
Pretzel Rocks Music Player: Stream-Safe Vibes for Every Mood
The Pretzel Rocks Music Player is a go-to solution for streamers seeking a vast, stream-safe music library. Available through the Streamlabs App Store, Pretzel Rocks boasts a catalog of over 600,000 tracks designed specifically for live streaming on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. Whether you’re setting a chill vibe with ambient tunes or pumping up the energy with synthwave or rock, Pretzel’s curated mood stations like Ambient, Hype, or Epic will have you covered.
What sets Pretzel Rocks apart is its customization. You can filter out explicit content for family-friendly streams, skip songs you don’t vibe with, or even switch to instrumental-only mode to keep the focus on your voice. For creators who upload highlights to YouTube, the YouTube Safe Mode ensures your content avoids Content ID claims. While the base version offers plenty, a premium subscription unlocks additional tracks and playlist creation, giving you even more control over your stream’s soundtrack.
Slip.stream: A Premium Audio Experience with Streamlabs Ultra
For those looking for another powerful option, Slip.stream steps up with an extensive library of over 100,000 DMCA-free tracks and sound effects. Trusted by big names like Clix, FaZe Blaze, and T-Pain, Slip.stream is perfect for streamers and content creators who want high-quality audio without legal headaches. Available via the Streamlabs App Store, it integrates seamlessly into your streaming setup.
Here’s the best part: Slip.stream’s full collection is included with a Streamlabs Ultra membership. This subscription not only grants access to Slip.stream’s entire music library but also unlocks a suite of premium creator tools for streaming, editing, and branding. With an Ultra membership, you can use Slip.stream’s tracks in both live streams and VODs, making it a versatile choice for creators who multitask across platforms. Whether you’re sorting by genre, mood, or theme, Slip.stream delivers a tailored audio experience that elevates your content. Want to try it out?

Moving Forward Without Streamlabs Music

Pretzel Rocks Music Player offers a free, flexible starting point with a massive catalog and streamer-friendly features, while Slip.stream, bundled with Streamlabs Ultra, provides a premium, all-in-one solution for creators ready to take their production to the next level. Both tools ensure your streams stay DMCA-free and sounding professional, so you can focus on what matters most: engaging your audience.
