Is Arma 3 authentic?

[Smurf 12]

Where I can get that mosaic with multiple facepalm pictures forming one big Captain Picard facepalming?

[purepassion 22]

Obviously, I am familiar with that :D

The Kaiman is based on the KA-50 and the Mi-28, this means there is no exact real counterpart atm. Looking at a picture of e.g. the KA-50, apart from the coaxial rotor system, one can see there are not many similarities. If you look at the Mi-28 however, you can see it serves as the base for most of the Mi-48's design and thus it is suited best for a comparison and to show how the Mi-48 uses mostly elements from the Mi-28.

Anyways, I appreciate you pay attention and if you find a better suited comparison shot, don't hesitate! :)

The mix of the helicopters does sort of make sense because a few years ago there was rumors of the helicopter companies in Russia potentiatly merging (RT has a video about it on YT) and maybe this went ahead in the Armaverse and so they got the best of both helis?

[slatts 1978]

Want you to fool us? ^^

Believe me.. I know all about planes/helicoters and the "Mi-48" doesnt't exist (maybe on the paper or thoughts)

The picture that you have linked as "Real Life"(http://www.abload.de/img/0_63dda_974c0c00_xxxlfrie0.jpg) is just the Mi-28!

The fictionary Mi-48 from ArmA3:

Your picture (http://www.abload.de/img/0_63dda_974c0c00_xxxlfrie0.jpg) shows a Mi-28! Just play "find the mistake" and you will notice it^^

slow your horse there mate :p i was using it as an example to that bloke as to why if BIS made a game full of new vehicles and not current day ones, the backlash would be much greater

Alright, you have me with the MP-7 and stuff like that, yes they're Euro companies (SCAR is actually made by FNH USA) but those are all SOF weapons (minus the AT4 and M9 but US models of those are made in the US) and not conventional army stuff.

[max power 21]

s1zzl3, if you're going to participate could you at least read the thread? We have covered that already.

[Steakslim 1]

There's also the M240 that was designed and made by FN.

[daellis94 1]

Well technically the M-240 is an American machine gun based on the Belgian FN MAG, manufactured under license in the US.

[Steakslim 1]

Still it's origins are foreign, and is made by the US counterpart of FN. Just because it wasn't designed by Browning or Stoner doesn't mean the US won't procure it, it just takes a sacrifice to the blood god with the first born child of an unwed teen mother. Hell many years ago, short of some lulzy political assholery we almost would have ended up with the FAL as our main battle rifle after pushing for the 7.62x51 as the standard round for NATO, and then deciding to keep our m14's while everyone else adopted the FAL.

does it matter if its made in the US? its still a euro design. the F2000 in A3 is called the MK.40 or something, could be made under license but its still a Euro design

[Tonci87 163]

Guess what the American FBI, Police and Security services use the HS2000

Oh and the helmets of your troops are made in Croatia too^^ (among other stuff)

http://www.sestan-busch.hr/proizvodi.html

The US military gets a lot of stuff from other countries.

there's 59 previous pages, I'm sorry its such a sin to not read all of them, I started at like 45 and worked forward.

FBI and Cops aren't US Military btw

And that link to croatia aren't US helments, the ACH, ECH, and FAST helmets are all made in the USA

US military still use european designed/made weapons. even if its made in the US by FNH US etc., its still a european weapon (a toyota made in america is still a jap car)

also heres the stuff about poland etc.

The F-35B SDD prototype currently flown is a hog. The fighter wasn´t a solid design to begin with, and the prototype in many ways was a much better aircraft than the current, overloaded, underpowered, bloated, barely-stealthy-anymore, mega-expensive and completely underperforming showy "Stealth fighter for cheap people".

If the F-35 is the frontline fighter for Nato in the Arma 3 scenario, it goes to show how much the alliance has deteriorated as far as capabillities and technology edge go. All the F-35 has going for itself are gimmicks: the plane itself barely gets outside of the performance envelope of a 1960s era F-105, and was originally designed to perform a very similar role.

So, I don´t mind the look of the plane. Maybe the program got abandoned at some point (As it should´ve been) and the fighter picked up again as an emergency measure, going from the more polished (and stealthier) prototype design, to compete with mass produced, comparatively cheap T-50s and J-20s being sold to the SCOs allies and members.

I´d love to see a J-20 or PAK-FA as the primary opfor fighter, if Fighters are implemented at all.

[mordeaniischaos 3]

Huh, some of the ingame stuff actually looks less futuristic.

[s1zzl3 1]

Cpl Ben Kerry is Special forces, he's in the same team as the main character. That said, I'm not aware of ANY airborne at JBLM, special forces or otherwise. McChord AFB DOES have a ton of C-17s, so it is entirely possible that in the future Ft. Lewis becomes home to an Airborne unit or two.

CPL Kerry isn't SF, he's just a member of his battalion's Reconnaissance PLT, it's different, besides the lowest rank you can be as a Green Beret is a SGT.

[krycek 349]

I saw in screenies they use Fennek for Blufor.BI should be aware that Fennek 2 is out and probably standard vehicle in next years.At least this version can support 3-6 crew unlike the Fennek which have only 3.

Yeah, but TBH I don't see them making the Fennek 2 for vanilla A3, I see the Fennek as a pure "force recon" vehicle with no need for more then 3 crew members.

I hope you're right and is indeed used for recon,I haven't seen any Blufor 4WD vehicle other than the Fennek but BI might show more later.

I have just read the complete tread and have few things I wish to say:

1- I don´t like the futurist armament cause at the moment we have some new weapons that look futuristic and have better specs, I don´t see any reason for not to use those. Examples: ACR, AK200, MSR, Orsis T-5000, MP7, etc.

2-BIS have mixed to concept of chopper building the Mi bureau and the Kamov or Ka bureau to make a futuristic chopper, the same thing as that the previous one; why go for and invention if both deassign bureau have new choppers for the 2012-2020 period of time. Investigate if you don't believe me.

3-The same with the Merkava (the Russian, Chinese and NATO have new MBT that there are testing).

what "futuristic" weapons do you mean, most of the weapons I have seen are real or in testing(not including all vehicles)

2 People have talked and argumented for and against the "Hamok" for hundreds of pages in this and other threads, you can read those.

3 We dont know everything about the merkava, some think its just a placeholder for other vehicles(for either the blufor or the opfor, cant remember)

[dartshinigami 2]

My point is, many peoples don´t like weapons (invented by BIS) if there are some new ones that like you said are in testing or already in the field, that also look futuristic.

And the so called "hamok"; is design if awful and weird not to mention completely lack of imagination they just use a Mi-28 with the helix of Ka-50. If you are going to invent a new chopper don´t go and just recycle old ones(is preferable to use the original) by mixing two of them.

I mean is 2035 it can be that cars fly or Mecha like Gundam are sell to the youngster for play in the back yard or whatever you like. I´m not against future in ARMA3 but if you are gone go future then make it good not some recycling/mixing two choppers to comply.

And with the Merkava is the same, there are other post here that explain why is unlike that Iranian use merkavas. Is more logically that they make their own MBT adapted to future combat, that´s why people didn't like it.

[Maio 293]

Please let's not do this again :(

[Black Cat 10]

None of the weapons are invented by BIS.

When you recycle something, you make it brand new.

Some dev said the Merkava is a placeholder for the OPFOR.

[Smurf 12]

Hey, we hit that loop point again!

There is an anchievement or unlock (like more pics of the Hamok or railgun tank, just for ze lulz) for that?
