Overview

The Arm Battlecruiser next to a medium tank and some peewees

'Not OTA', or NOTA, is a re-imagining of the TA universe with an emphasis on realism, scale, and strategy. Units have been altered, scaled, added, and replaced to create a consistent world: infantry kbots are smaller than tanks, aircraft use fuel and have a variety of distinct roles such as ground attack, air superiority, interception, and strategic bombing, and ships are not small boats, but true, full-scale ships, with subs for raiding the enemy's economy, destroyers for hunting subs, and capital ships for engaging enemy fleets. The result is a cohesive, believable world that very much resembles the one seen in the original TA intro video.

Getting Into NOTA

The NOTA channel

When you are playing spring you can type "/j #nota". This will join the NOTA channel which has the current links for NOTA's assets. The channel is important for finding hosts and players. Just as important; the NOTA channel is where the newest versions will first be available.

Team Speak

NOTA is the most active and nearly the only mod/game that fully uses Team Speak. (TS) Team speak allows for outstanding communication. TS can also let team mates lead and teach noobs, removing the common noob problems.
