It would be awesome if the spawn points for the ammo shells from the BTR-K's main gun could be adjusted so they don't spawn out of the barrel and especially if those shells could be PhysX objects, colliding with geometry like the "MachineGunCartridge" from the AH's M134 :)

Speaking of which, how many objects currently in game are effected by physX ?

Also when oh when are we gonna get closure sound class back again?

TrackIR is working again

[byku 13]

New Commanders view in Iran's tracked APC, comanches rockets are also laser guided(they can be controlled - awesome)... at least this for now. Still checking ;)

Good changes to the armor system :)... although 40mm HE granades are overpowered to frontal armor of apcs.

guys is it still in progress or working as intended? the uh80 ghost hawk light beam is just a flat sprite with no actual glow, and you can't really swith it off, the moonlight is weird too (if there's such at all)

[progamer 14]

There is a 'CRV' version of the Panther model inside armor_f_beta.pbo and a couple of texture files for it - one of which appears to have textures for a dozer blade and a crane.

Whether it'll be able to function as a proper recovery vehicle using PhysX etc. or whether it simply behaves like a standard Arma 'repair' vehicle, remains to be seen.

Hopefully the crane can acually lift and possibly tow damaged units while the dozen blaze could push wrecks off of the road and such?

[NeuroFunker 11]

woo, free look is working again! Doesn't turn you around anymoe. Both 1st and 3rd person view!

woo! Tracks do produce noises now, and also squeek, if your drifting!

[themaster303 22]

testet the chopper and they are again sticking to the ground as it was in alpha. last verion you could land with a little slide.

its really strang to land and stick to the ground. it was really better in the patches before!

i am glad that trackir works again !!

BMP still unble to swim on water? Why would russian engineers, unlearn their BMP's to swim in 2035?

[royaltyinexile 175]

441MB just started dripping inn here :)

i wonder what it brings us :)

A cavalcade of Splendid progress (I hope). :)

Best,

FIX: Tank shells now has visible tracer.

Erm did someone forget we dont have Tanks yet :p

do we? *Looks at my shiny T-100, just after tank wash!*

[metalcraze 290]

FIX: Ifrit GMG now has 96 grenades instead of 64.

FIX: Hunter GMG now has 96 grenades instead of 64.

FIX: Strider GMG now has 96 grenades instead of 64.

There is no artificial balancing.

Because BLUFOR's Namer can't swim either.

Can devs comment if these are planned units or just left overs from development?

I can't check right now, but I guess you won't find it under NATO or CSAT. You could try Independent -> TROLL though.

[petek 62]

Anyone finding that the Marshall is now broken for troop transport? Can't get in and units can not be placed in cargo using the standard scripts? Turn out still not working on the panther (commanders head pops through closed hatch. Incomplete view on the turn out for the Marid driver and gunner (nice that the drivers hatch opens) Like the new inventory in vehicles - sensible!

I'll keep looking

cheers

Ah yeah the New Troll Tank i see thanks mate

[roberthammer 582]

For some reason i cant look around in commander seat on Panther , also on BTR-K i can look around but there is a glitch in that view - for a few sec it is normal , then it glitchs up and repeats

anyone has the same problems?

This effect is going to be tweaked soon. But collisions of those shells are the same as the collissions of MachineGunCartridge already. They collide only with the ground. :)

[L3TUC3 32]

Well, if they're basing the weapon off the true to life GMG, all they did was add another belt. There's just no reloads or belt change so I'll just assume the belts are linked.

I'd prefer the Ifirit at least to use a different weapon entirely though.

does this bluefor swim irl?

btr-k ai driver, has bad path finding. Made simple mission, apc marid leader, btr k troop member, set marker to drive from A to B, column formation. When marid driver, does a perfect job to drive on the road, btr-k driver always getting offroad, stuckng at stones, or got stuck at airfield entry road shield.

It weighs 60 tons. You´d need a lot of helium to keep that thing afloat. Also, was there an update today? My thing doesn´t show anything for some reason...

[NeuroFunker 11]

something wrong with btr-k driver. Now i have made him the leader of my small convoy, he just stupidly stays at same spot.

so, the "logic" is, if bluefor heavy personal carrier can't swim, so shouldn't opfor apc, which is based on BMD4/BMP3, but can swim in real life?

A related point is that the effective strength of the grenades has been reduced to represent more realistic (authentic?!?!) values. The previous state was inappropriately effective.

I can certainly check on the motivation to increase the ammo count, but I'd note that those jumping to the firm conclusion that it's to cater for some sort of E-sport-twitch-shooting-arcade purpose feels a bit err...

Best,
