teaser 0 Posted January 7, 2007 hey guys, i have just been thinking about armA while i waot for my new AMD 64 3800+ 1 gig Of ram and 7800GT videocard. so my question was .. i have played AmericasArmy and cs, with AA being my fav game..and i begain to think that if i shoot a soldier in armA into the leg... will the bullet hole be exactly where i got him or it will be rendered.. as in it detects the hit point on the leg, and it automatically puts a hole and blood in a random position on the leg. =D ..just asking. if the soldiers gets hit in his left side of the brain.. will the bullet hole be exactly rendered there, or will it be just a premade hitpoint on the head..yeah so thats what im trying to get at..because in some screen shots i saw prerendered and real ones.. lol just asking and trying to kill the boredom while i wait for my new pc.. lol and while wer on the topic, can u tell me iff ill be able to run game on high setings, soem low some medium, or everything low etc.. lol thank you for your time.

Jack-UK 0 Posted January 7, 2007 umm werent u told to stop making lots of threads? :P Use the 'What do you think about arma?" thread or something like that... And i dunno about the answer to the question.. if its anything like OFP its a premade 'hole' which appears in the head if you hit them in the head... i havent checked though...

MehMan 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Please unlearn AOL speak and learn to type normally. And no to the last question and first. Also, this might be one of the most useless things in ArmA. Does it matter? Are you going to notice? I'm guessing no, in the middle of a battlefield you're not going to stop and look at what you did to that soldier. You'll be busy shooting or running to cover.

icebreakr 3159 Posted January 7, 2007 Hitpoints are Arma's weakpoints :/ a) shooting a soldier twice in a leg gets him killed b) m60 gunner can trash BMP-2 if he's persistent & sneaky enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you hit the fuel line fuel will drain out of the chopper, eventually forcing the chopper to land/crash. Also try shooting at the back rotor, enough damage will cause it to fail meaning the chopper spins humourously in the air and forces the inhabitants to eject and/or crash.

walker 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Hi all Shoot soldier in legs they are crippelled and can only crawl Shoot soldier in arms their gun waves around. Head shots tend to be one round kills Torso tends to be double or even triple tap. Density of material you are behind provides varying cover from fire penetration. Hiding behind a wooden fence when enemy knows you are there is no longer advisable. Bullets can and do ricochet of street walls but do not expect to bounce machine gun fire off one wall around a corner and hit anything. You might do it but probably not. Yes you can shoot drivers and indeed gunners such as M113, and car gunners. Particular pasengers can be shot. (useful for assasination mision scenarios) Yes a hit to fuel tank causes a gas leak. But no; one shot to the gas tank does not make it explode ala silly holywood movie crap. It takes a bit more than that to blow up a gas tank. Yes shooting the rear rotor on helicopters leads to blackhawk down style incedent. Shooting gun on tank remoes ability of gun to elevate, shooting tracks causes inability of that particular track to move (driving in circles) Destroying both tracks leads to mobility kills. Shooting Front body of a tank wounds and kills drivers while leaving the commander and guner OK. Shoot turret and the oposite happens. Have not checked tyres on cars but in OFP shooting tyres lead to a flat presume its the same in ArmA Kind Regards Walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaser 0 Posted January 8, 2007 lol very nice walker, just the kind of review i was looking for lol if you have any more post them here. see? my teacher was right, we do learn something new every day. stupid hollywood movies and true crime game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted January 8, 2007 shooting wheels on the cars destroys the wheel... in practice the effect is the same as in ofp but you don't get that cool flat tire effect. Instead, the wheel shows damage with that burnt-out-car texture overlay. I guess this is sensible since not all military vehicles have inflatable tyres. Sometimes they have solid cores, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaser 0 Posted January 8, 2007 ehh still pretty cool..got any more ppl? shooting trees? what ahppsn etc lk all of that stuff lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted January 8, 2007 Trees can be flattened by driving them over with a tank or another heavy vehicle. Dont expect any 'tree physics' like Crysis, they just fall over. But its better that completely static trees like in most games (you can also shoot them over, however if you want to do that with bullets you need to bring alot of bullets with you, ive done it with HEAT shells though ) EDIT: What the hell was this post supposed to say? I edited it a bit but it confused me as hell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easty 0 Posted January 8, 2007 It's no head shot, it's a left eye shot. I agree with above, Shoot, confirm and move on. Injured people do look so very nice though. It's nice looking at someone in a vehicle considerably worst off than one's self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
