W0lle 1052 Posted March 6, 2007 US Officer is wearing a USMC cap... And why doesn't BLUFOR use Javelins, SMAWs or SRAWs (like in BF2). Because this is ArmA not BF2. The Javelin is included, just not really usable at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted March 6, 2007 with regards to the marines, I thought the clue was in the name... Just me then? Quote[/b] ] The RACS dont feel wright, BIS should have made them less "americanised" or used UN troops instead. They feel right to me. Considering they're being trained by the US, then their use of old choc chip camo and american gear is perfect. If they weren't being trained by the US, then I could understand your comment - eastern bloc would have been more appropriate. None-the-less the current setup echo's that of the Iraqi's troops, or at least the earliest ones, who all were using the old choc chip stuff etc (But ak's instead of M16) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurvan 0 Posted March 6, 2007 I think it's fine, since a mix between army and marines is explained with the storyline. I agree that it's a bit strange with the old anti-air weapons, though, but I suspect this has to do with balance. An AI controlled Shilka is enough to shoot down my Blackhawk pretty quickly if I foolishly get within range. But if they included any of the more modern AA weapons included in this list, flying would be even more dangerous: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antiaircraft_weapons Also, it's a bit strange that a small nation owns SU-34s, which happens to be the most modern fighter-bomber/strike aircraft in the world! But we can pretend they are Russian test models they got for testing purposes And in the same spirit, the US friendly part should get a couple of Comanche choppers for the same reasons (instead of just putting them in the chopper graveyard). Yes? Yes?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The explanations for the mixture of units are: 1. BIS had a lot of mixed force models and textures laying around and this was the fastest way out the door with the game. 2. BIS decided it was the best idea to use a mixed force to limit nit picking associated with a genuine simulation attempt of one of the brances. 3. They're Czech and don't know any better. Many things have been inaccurate in ArmA, think their military advisers are on vacation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
