We’re incredibly excited to share our first official blog post and take this opportunity to thank every single one of you who has supported us on our journey so far.
🚀 Master Arm officially launched in December 2023, and in just 18 months, we’ve grown into one of the most trusted providers of DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) servers in the community.
What started as a small idea has evolved into a comprehensive platform, offering powerful, optimized, and customizable server solutions to pilots worldwide.
🛡️ Trusted by the Biggest Names in the DCS Scene
Over the past 18 months, we’ve proudly sponsored and supported some of the biggest DCS events, including:
ACES Tournament – where competitive edge depends on milliseconds of ping
SATAC 2024 and SATAC 2025 – the most respected air combat tournament in DCS
ACWS Tournament – ongoing, with world-class squadrons flying under our server infrastructure
We’re proud that organizers continue to trust Master Arm to deliver the performance and reliability these events demand.

Stay safe, stay sharp — and let’s keep building something incredible together.
Hi! when subscribing to a 4 slot server does that mean that only 4 planes can be in the air? like me and two friends and then one AI plane? Or can it be as many AI planes as we want and we can be 4 real players on the server? Probably a dumb question, but we are wondering before buying.
Hi! That’s actually a great question, not dumb at all!
When you subscribe to a 4-slot server, it means you can have up to 4 human players connected at the same time. The server itself uses an additional slot internally, so you actually get 5 slots total — 4 for players, 1 for the server process.
As for AI units, you can add as many as you’d like in your mission — there’s no hard limit. However, keep in mind that too many AI units can affect your server’s RAM and overall performance, especially on lower-spec plans. So it’s really about finding the right balance based on your mission design.
Let us know if you have more questions, happy to help before you decide!
