Advanced Combat Environment

[einsena 0]

People who want to play ACE properly and experience the mod in all it's realism and atmosphere are probably the players who have crosshairs and/or 3rd person view disabled by default anyway.

If you want to play Evolution with crosshairs and 3rd person on ACE mod, nobody's stopping you, but for those that truly wish to experience the mod will probably have it turned off as it's a much more realistic feel and atmosphere. Also prevents 'corner peeking' so you'll actually have to properly take each corner, for one example.

Yours,

as long as ACE do not force you to disable the crosshairs i'd be happy. because i think that disabling it is infact not realistic, for example grenade crosshairs, it's almost impossible to throw it accurately without the crosshairs. also high magnification rifles would be almost useless in CQC, because in order to hit someone without the crosshairs enabled we would be required to look through the sights. in reality this is not the case, because IRL our hand eye coordination would do the computing for us. so please make the no crosshair feature optional or server enforced, because making things harder than real life(i think) is not realistic.

Removing crosshair is like putting the gun at the hip

and try to snipe at close range...You are ALLWAYS

nr2 in a cq fight with an AI that way..

Those fictional white crosshairs on guns/rifles are good for beginners and console heros.

Do have A.C.E. grenade launchers working (iron) leaf sights?

Will there be extra units such as radio operator to call reinforce, medevac etc?

[M.Andersson(SWE) 4]

LOL...

Prove me wrong

I bet alot on you DIE all the time in fire fight with AI´s

in close range...You have to sneak up from behind in

order to take them out...If they pop up 30-50 m in front

of you YOU die 100 times of 100...

While I'm all for realism, this is a computer game. In real life I know where my rifle is pointing and can bring it to bear for a snap shot at close range without using the sights pretty well. I like to think that the cross hairs are a game version of this training.

I think A.C.E is going to be something very special, just look at some of the people working on it already....Well done guys, and keep it up!

Ah, while I'm here...Who's covering the audio aspect of A.C.E? I've been over this thread looking for info on the subject (maybe old age is getting to me!) as its an important aspect of any large addon..I guess you could go with a pre created sound addon (Chammy's, FDF, fromz etc)) but I figured you'd wanna go all out and have your own sounds, so any info you could share would be great !

Anyways, Best of luck !

Well one of the countless cool features the predecessor (WGL for OFP) had, was that all sights on any weapons were changed to be absolute realistic/accurate.

So it was definitely possible to aim even with the GP25/M203 Grenade Launchers after a bit learning (just like in RL).

Not to mention the great sights of the AT-Weapons.

I expect this also for ACE - so surely no crosshairs are needed/must-have.

For what in gods name if you have totally realistic and accurate working sights of weapons?

Anyway, the decisions of the ACE Team to let it be decided by the Server-Admin is the best thing.

Best Regards, Christian

You guys making uparmoured humvees and MRAPS? Frag 5 etc

And you guys planning to change the rusty damage textures? Cheers

Bingo.....

IRL you just KNOW...In a game theres now way you can

know. IRL you can shoot from the hip at close range and

still get a fair shot at surviving. The ironsight is mostly used

at long range or if you are hidden from enemy, know exactly

were the are or coming from at close range..

I like the sound of this mod and from some of the early teaser shots it looks like its going to be professionaly done. I hear a lot of people are working it so i will be looking forward to playing it. Keep up the work your making arma history!

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

It looks now that A.C.E. is making more additional Blufor stuff so we gonna get more Advanced -US- Combat Enviroment? Whats your (newest) improvements with AI and other stuff?

[scubaman3D 0]

...It looks now that A.C.E. is making more additional Blufor stuff...

I know this was a "baiting" question but I want to comment anyways.

The US stuff is my "specialty", if you will.

There are other people working on OPFOR stuff. We are also cooperating with other mod teams who are making OPFOR content.

In addition, if you feel strongly about this, feel free to contribute to the mod!

Or maybe removal of the content I made would make you happier.

that GAU-19 sure looks very nice. However the us is, afaik, not using that particular weapon on any of its HMMWV's at all. Isnt Columbia the only miliatary user of the GAU-19 anyway?

Based on the information I have, its used among SOF and is increasingly being used as a replacement for the M134 - especially on SOAR helicopters, as evidenced here:

oh well. My fault there. Are there any plans to create sof hmmwvs for ace? That would be so cash driving around with .50 miniguns...

I would even give you guys some us army sof units to go with the hmmwvs

I knew you'd gone into stealth mode on us. Nice.
