Vanilla:

Mortars
New MI-8 and Huey variants, armed.
New Soviet and NATO IFV (NATO has an amphibious IFV now, similar to the BTR)
Rank requirements for weapons and apparel
Point capture changes (can't respawn on contested points, and capture rate depends on how many friendly points connect to it).
Structural destruction (eg: buildings and trees)

WCS (probably the most popular mod pack along with RHS) also has new stuff coming with this patch:

New weapons
New vehicles (inc. Mh6 variants, tanks, new IFVs), some of which are armed with new stuff I think.

I never played ArmA before Reforger, but coming from Squad it feels great. From my understanding of common gripes long time ArmA players have with Reforger, it's a bit less milsim, so take that into account if you want to jump in.

The vanilla community doesn't seem to be always onboard with milsiming or tactics in general, , but as far as the mechanics and capabilities of the game I think you can get miles closer to simulating than we have in Squad. I love reforger and would recommend it to anybody.

Definitely. I love the freedom ArmA gives. It allows to really engage with any objective as you see fit. The structure of a typical AAS or RAAS match in squad doesn't really allow for that to happen.

The day before yesterday a buddy and I managed to round up 4 people to come with us to retake Cabin on a WCS server. W After that we went to Chotain. While the team took farm, we went on to take Laruns, then quarry while the team took Camurac, and then Penant's . We went from losing Military Hospital to the enemy team struggling to even field helicopters to the western coast.

Haven't ever gotten close to that in Squad. Though I will say that rounding up enough volunteers to do that is kind of hard.
