Suggestion For Devs.

Ok I didnt really know where to post this so here is probably a good place. Arma is a great game but there a few issues i think need to be fixed off the top of my head.

1. Scoring when you shoot down a helo. The map evolution relys heavily on your score for advancement in rank. But if you shoot down a helicopter or cause a tank to explode, i mean like say i shot a strela at a helo and it crashed, unless i blew it up on contact i dont get the kill, same for vehicles. If you cause a vehicle to explode, even if its not right that second, you should get points.

2. Motorcycles. They are death traps. You randomly fall off for no reason and its no fun.

Well those are just ideas for a future patch.... just my 2cents as a gamer and BI customer. Thanks guys.

Barely, but I suppose you're right. Sadly most MP servers only play Evo and Berzerker. That point aside, these things should still be addressed. Thats like saying the headlights in my car dont work but i dont drive at night so its ok.

1. Kill scoring. Kill scoring for vehicles might be accomplished via a decent script perhaps, counting certain conditions for contributing to a vehicle destruction like having the last hit or the most damage inside some time limit or whatnot. The hard coded default way of handling stuff is not always the most fair or well thought out, but it's akin to a what is the Nickel impurity in the Stanley Cup trophy. The point of the game (of hockey in this analogy) is to win the championship, not to acquire the (relatively) cheap metal trophy that symbolizes the victory.

2. Motorcycles and helicopters and probably some other vehicles in game suffer from a dedicated server bug that automatically ejects players at random. It is quite an annoying bug that can put an hour's worth of planning to waste when the leader of the team dies on the initial paradrop in a 3 hour coop.

Yeah, the motorbikes pretty much need reworking. They could be so awesome in this game. The bikes in OFP were a little weird but they were fully usable. The one's in ArmA are even weirder and like the above poster quite rightly says - are deathtraps.

If there is random eject bug with motorcycles and helicopters, maybe devs should really do something about it, is there anykind of bug thread for reporting bugs

About that helo thing, I remember bf2 had something like that. If you shot at a helicopter, and then it crashed, you would get the points.

No but the problem is you *dont* get the points often for shooting a tank and then it explodes a few seconds later as per ArmA, u wont get that kill, same with helicopters sometimes, u can shoot em down but not get the kill.

Motorbikes i dont know what BIS were thinking when they were added into the game, u cant go for a few minutes drive without getting thrown off, even if ur on a straight road, going dead straight, u'll get chucked off very often. Cant believe BIS let that slip thru the net and still havent fixed it O_o

I think the first problem would be fixed by removing the scoreboard function

So your saying they should include patches for Kiljoy's Evolution user made mission?

Surely they should include the mission too of course

You don't get points for shooting vehicles in Arma. Only in the missions made by users

The motorbike I can't comment on, I now have patch 1.08 installed I hadn't noticed problems earlier and I haven't tried the bikes lately

Here's the topic for Evolution user made mission, I suggest you comment there for quicker results

The bikes are a really serious problem, a slight bump or small change of elevation in the road, and it knocks you flying all over the place. You then fall off and die. It puts me off using bikes even though I know they can be effective.

[hailstorm 4]

you think that's bad, i have it unlocked in the armory, turns out it can't go faster than 55 km/h over rough ground on it, it's hard to turn, and any rock/bump usually writes it off it if you hit it at any speed. it's impossible to finish the obstacle course with any sort of speed because most of the obstacles on it (like those 'large/small' humps) will destroy your bike - unless you slow to a crawl.

So THAT'S why I can't get the dirt bike to work.

damnit that sucks.

The only mod/map I wanted to make was Excite Bike.

Yeah, that's a big point. BIS need to look at how slow vehicles go offroad. I can understand the Sedan perhaps being bogged down but not over dry desert when using a Landie or Scrambler.

Hi, as sugestion for the developers, i'll sugest:

- Add Female Units (playable).

- Add Better Weapons Sounds.

- Add Flares and maybe Chaff to choppers and planes.

- Add Better Tracers.

- Increase the low game performance.

- Add First Person View in tanks (driver and commander).

- Fix some animations (death *of RPG launcher etc).

- Remove the Camels.

- Release the 3D tools and MLOD sample models + instructions.

Let's C ya

P.S: this must be the most pointless tread of this forums, the

devs don't read and don't care about us and what we want

for sure; but who knows... maybe Jessie didn't died in the

cross... .
