Adding/integrating ARMA2 purchase with ARMA2 OA

[slack 1]

Have not found an explicit answer to the question (and owning a copy of Take On too does not really make it clear).

I own ArmA2 OA as a Steam app. OA alone is great - but sucks for mods, as a large number of good mods need ArmA2 in addition.

So I want to get ArmA2 (on Steam). However, will this suffice for mods requiring both ArmA2 and OA? Or do the 2 games need to be specifically purchased as a bundled game? Or do the 2 need to be integrated in some fashion after (separate) installation of both?

As a bonus question (cannot hurt to ask I hope), how do I fit Take On (non-Steam) into this for providing a somewhat realistic heli sim when flying dustoffs and CAS in ArmA2/OA? ;)

Any pointers/URLs will be much appreciated.

You can get Arma2 seperately and it will combine with OA, no problem. :)

As for adding Take On - I haven't tried that, but I know it's supposed to work as of the latest patch. However, you won't be able to play with standard Arma2/OA players.

Pity. A helo should behave somewhat like a helo - which is what Take On does. Always wanted a combat sim with proper helo support.

Appreciate the response. Thanks.
