General Discussion (dev branch)

The last 2 updates have not been very sexy :(

Err, what were you expecting?

[pillpopper123 10]

Didn't Dslyecxi make a video showing left handed shooting or was I dreaming?. :)

On default controls: Left control + A to lean left, and while leaning it automaticly switches your weapon to the left side.

You know, some weapon resting here, maybe some grenade improvements there, altis ... what a wonderfull thing is dreaming :cool:

â—¾Added some delay between throwing 'nades

The other stuff you need to keep dreaming about :). 1 thing is for sure though (unless it changes :p) is that you wont see Altis unless you are on the dev branch and even then it wont be until very close to the release date of the game.

[Tyl3r99 41]

You should be able to hear what you and your comrades nearby say even with a radio volume all the way down, shouldn't you? ;) (wip)

But definitely, http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=9827 , so you can choose less drillinstructory voice ;)

so can we choose other speakers now?? and they work??

â—¾Added some delay between throwing 'nades

I wonder how much delay, actually.. because it's still possible to throw one grenade per second, which is kind of too much

[katipo66 94]

cool animation when in sitting and giving the ability to slowly shuffle, nice work (Smookie?)

I dont see the difference, maybe it was 1 grenade every half a second before, and now its delayed to 1 grenade every second..

That issue is windows running out of virtual memory. Nothing to do with your ram per-say. Turn on, or increase the size of your PageFile.

Thanks for the pointer. I checked, and good God! I had no pagefile on any disk!!!! I have no idea why or for how long that has been the case.

I'm with VanZant! There's a morale boost that comes with new content and features (not taking away from the documentation on AI improvements etc...)

Just me but I'm really not that interested in a drone (which appears to be coming. We still have no Nightvision or thermal scopes for rifles, No shotguns, no static defences other than mortars, No high command etc...

I think a few juicy additions every week or so keeps the interest level high.

[goldenfiver 11]

I hope we see changes in cockpit / driver seat unused screens.. (check the independent helicopter for unused MFD screens)

All of those blank screens / static low quality pics makes the game look dated. I think GPS should be sidplayed on those unused screens.

[Kemeros 1]

I personally love the updates. They come in a lot quicker than i thought they would. A lot of great fixes. Content will come.

[sqb-sma 66]

Hmm, I love the AI changes, but I really loved how AI went crouched when engaged. Now that seems to be less prominent. If you observe human players (or indeed people at airsoft fields, where contact is close and fairly constant) you'll see they spend a fair amount of the time hunched or crouched to make themselves less visible, even when sprinting. The AI often stand around like posts, at least with that dev build they crouched like... couches? Fuck I don't know.

[pauliesss 2]

Why on earth you change to pistol once you get a new weapon from a body or crate?

This is really annoying and stupid...there is a ticket for this(vote!) http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8137, assigned to Vespa. Last update from Khan:This issue was processed by our team and will be looked into. We thank you for your feedback.

I don't like the fact that you can destroy heavy vehicle like panther with granade launcher in ifrit. I'm not against the fact that you destroy the gun, or the tracks... but the hull and then it explodes?

You can destroy it even with machine gun - thats the famous HP armour since OFP

wat

I thought that was fixed in Arma 2 times.

The Namer is as heavily armored as an MBT. Even autocannon fire will not penetrate unless you hit the rear door. 40mm grenades should not hurt it either... Devs?

[byku 13]

Actually you can't ;). I've tried 2000 rounds of 6,5mm OC-30 gun and 7,62mm gun of AH-9. So it's not THAT bad, but some improvements would be needed. I understand that they've made the new apcs destroyable by grenade launchers to "balance" stuff.... but it's soooo wrong. Ok.. sure, the guns are more fragile(especially the remote ones), they are certainly not as armored as the hull, so imo it won't be bad if by granade launchers you can DISABLE the apc(tracks or gun) but you SHOULDN'T BE ABLE to blow it up! It would also "balance" stuff so marid against panther wouldn't be totally useless, yet it will bring more AUTHENTICITY(Bis favourite word ;]).

Oh and yeah, the Marshal... or to be precise the vehicle that it is based on, had frontal protection against 30mm autocannon AP rounds.

Vote(or not) for disabling "magical" radar in APCs: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=11925.

They did a good thing with Marshal and Merid, but now with those new apcs... i don't see any logic behind that.

Amen - still one of my pet hates. .... aside from not being able to get your gunner to fire on a building etc... anymore (since Arma 1 I believe.... grrrr)

[katipo66 94]

Maybe they still working on it? I couldn't completely destroy a panther with an explosive detonated right next to it, it just took out the wheels, I believe I could before? You could still enter vehicle so probably it was still repairable.

[runekn 3]

You sure about this?

Just did a quick test where I constantly shot it with the Kamysh's 6.5 machinegun for around 2 min, with time set to x4.00.

It didn't recieve a scratch.

[xx-LSD-xx 10]

I've noticed since the latest update that when I get into a Helicopter and start it up it instantly gets damaged as in the main rotor flies apart or it just explodes killing all aboard. Same happens when other players try to fly the helis.

Doesn't happen all the time but I'd say more often then not. Glad everything is with in driving distance. Has any one else had this happen?

P.S. I run ASR_AI for A3 on our server and the latest AI update is simply awesome. Major improvement. Good job BI Devs keep it up. Wish switching back and forth from the stable to the Dev wasn't such a pain in the ass. Should be able to run both via a shortcut. JMO.

Byko's right - I used all the 50 cal ammo in a hunter and didn't manage to destroy the panther. Grenades are more effective though - approx 20 or so and it's toast
