Arma 3: Confirmed features | info & discussion

[Max255 59]

If you look closely that name appears also during vehicle & PhysX part. Only vehicles there were M-ATV and Namer APC.

EDIT: Ok, I got it - M2A1 Slammer is a Merkava.

I assume that is mission specific?

Actually no, I watched the presentation again and it seems the M-ATV is called Hunter. So Hunter RCWS will be M-ATV with weapon station :)

And the Patria is just called AMV ;)

Hmm - RCWS system is big for M-ATV , i bet it is somekind APC with RCWS ;)

[Max255 59]

Well, RCWS in not one specific system (like the Rafael RCWS-30 you showed). Basically every remotely controlled gun is an RCWS (Remotly Controlled Weapon Station).

Updated . If I missed something give me a heads up .

M2A1 is a WWII howitzer... 105mm?

Something like this... but why slammer?

M2a1 is a Bradley IFV. Slammer might be a callsign.

Don't be ridiculous. Logic like that dried up here a long time ago. It's clearly a goddamn hover tank.

I dont think that's a Bradley , mean in ArmA 3

for example

in arma 3 the FS2000 is called Mk20 ,but in our reality it is this Mk20 , Mk20 mod0

edit: I was replying to someone asking if M2 was a ww2 era howitzer, and what slammer meant. Someone edited his post :p

@3:30-3:32 - Lord Buchta looking at "Merkava" called Slammer M2A1...

Clear enough? If not there's a second time in a part with Comanche...

The RHIB's front cannon apeared to be some sort of RCWS and it was pretty small, the operator could have been the guy sat behind the RHIB's driver.

Bear in mind an Apache's cannon is a form of RCWS.

I guess the big, pretty screen we saw on RHIB pictures might be related xD

Thanks for the links, from there i found info of the XM2010 ESR it would be super if it also was included..

[rye1 21]

.300 WinMag with the XM2010 would be nice to see ballistically modelled.

[Max255 59]

And if we keep going - since so far US forces seems to be all SF - Remington MSR, newest version of ESR chambered in .338LM - most likely to win competition for new sniper rifle for SOCOM ;]

btw Remington MSR and XM2010 - aren't almost same?

Remington MSR

XM2010

EDIT

lol my bad - they are from same company :D

and MSR is basicly newer version of Xm2010

Edited June 10, 2011 by RobertHammer

[Max255 59]

Almost... MSR have some slight changes compared to XM and has changable calibers, with .338LM being primary and .300WM and 7.62x51 possible.

[-GR-Operative 10]

I know changing the optics in a rail interface system is really easy and all, but in the video (maybe for demonstrating purposes) he do it too fast (like 1-1,5 seconds). This is probably an unpolished, still being tweaked feature. Just pointing.

[danny96 79]

Nice to see 3D editor on the list !

[rye1 21]

On some of the trailers (esp german one) you can clearly see 'MK20' when he's putting on optics and changing them in the scroll menu. And you can cleary see 'Reload 45 Round 6.5x39mm' which is the 6.5 Grendel round with great wound profiles. Certainly would be used in an urban environment in a future war.

This trailer.

Inform me if I'm wrong.

[purepassion 22]

its actually 6.5x38mm ^^ but you are correct with that it clearly says MK20

[roberthammer 582]

Very interesting caliber - 6.5x38 mm Grendel - never heard that much about it ,but sounds alot better than 5.56×45mm

http://weaponland.ru/images/patron/4/6_5x39_Grendel-6.jpg

Middle one is Grendel

This would be a nice addition too imo. :)
