Man this is the problem with new people lol.
Im 99% sure when oly first came out you could do this, then it got removed, and now its back. It wasent a oversight lol sharking like this has been a thing since 2015. The server didnt just pop up the first time you opened arma lol its has some history so before assuming things are oversights you need to remember that this mission file has been worked on since like what 2014, 99% of the stuff in there is intentional.
