Vilman 10 Posted February 4, 2013 Hey ! I noticed several times that in ArmA 2 the enemy can fire on the player from out of the game's viewdistance. So if i set the vd to 1500 meters for example, the enemy fires on me from 2000 meters far. I cannot see him, but he can see and aim on me... :( Is there any way to get rid of this problem ? Thx !

metalcraze 290 Posted February 4, 2013 I assume you are talking about Shilkas n stuff. They got radar and will naturally detect your vehicle/plane out there. But so will you when it comes to theirs. Although ArmA2's radar implementation is simplistic and arcadish (and many vehicles which shouldn't have it - have it) - nonetheless just like IRL you don't have to see the enemy to shoot him down. Because radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Well the tanks still have a magic radar too - just play vanilla A2OA and see how far beyond visual range you can "see" and detect enemy/friendly contacts. Imo BIS would have been better developing and implementing somekind of working ISTAR/C5ISR system instead of using this oversimplified magic radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes you can aquire locks on targets out of your VD range, & kill people/Ai without ever laying eyes on them. It's been this way since day 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vilman 10 Posted February 4, 2013 Yep. Well is there any mod or script or any other thing that could prevent/disable this thing ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisb 196 Posted February 5, 2013 Yep. Well is there any mod or script or any other thing that could prevent/disable this thing ? There are probably a few, but an easy one to slip in maybe, SLX Radar (pbo), removes magical radar from tanks. This may help, haven’t used it myself, so not sure, maybe worth a look. Could probably be used as a standalone pbo if you didn’t want to use the whole mod, just put it in with some other folder. As I say not sure how or if it works, not used it, but worth looking at.:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
