FFN MOD

[TonyRanger 0]

In real combat this action is possible,I have firends in Army,they know it.but don't worry, in this video,I've count where the grenade dropped before record,that's why I can just pick it up in hand at one time.But in real game play,we only have a litte chance to do so,I think it's still balance.

[manzilla 1]

I hope that the grenade throwback is very hard hard to do and happens rarely, its a bit unrealistic.

I wonder if there is any accounts of someone trowing back grenades in real life combat?

Absolutely it has, does and will happen. It's a very real thing.

There's really only two options when stuck in a situation where you are close enough to touch a live grenade:

Become a causalty or throw it back.

If you are close enough to pick it up, you are probaly too far from safety. The only real option is to kick it or pick it, and kicking it isn't always the wisest idea.

I'm not sure if you will get many first hand accounts on the forums if there are people around. Combat isn't something many like to talk about. I'm not sure how others feel but it's really not something most can relate to. That's just my personal feelings though. Someone may though, you never know.

I also hope that the "dragging" will be stabilized for the AI, I really didnt like the SLX version when soldiers were more focused on dragging wounded enemy instead of going for main object

[TonyRanger 0]

Don't worry,in my MOD,the AI only drag wound when he feel it is the time.for example,if 2 squads shot with each other in the open ground but with long distance,the health one would drag nearest wounded back to formation.but them won't do this in danger zone,like street combat etc.They will only treate wounded after combat.

Seems these AI are tougher then the original.to fight with them,we need act fast and deadly,don't let them deploy,don't let them fire the first bullet,just kill them before orgnized.Then,things will become easiler.If not the combat could be hot.

note:enemy shot may reveal our location to their squadmates.

If we act slower then AI,they were able to deploy and have time to use their tactic.

To fight this situation out,we need stay foucs and use more tactics like grenade suppress or something else.

note:the grenade can break enemy suppressive fire.once you got pinned throw a grenade to enemy,they'll stop shooting for a short time and look for other cover.remember in combat even 1 more second could save our live.

note:kill an effective squad leader is also a way to suppress enemy,they can only reorgnize attack after 90 seconds with the new squad leader.the one sending hand signal is the effective squad leader

note:grenade is less effective in open ground,because enemy can easily spread out there.

ouch, that was pretty cruel at the second video ending

its just you working on it ?

This is going to be a great mod!! It will deeply change ArmA and the way we play... it's a much needed mod

[MehMan 0]

Hmm, could you make a vid showing 10 AI vs 10 AI fighting?

[TonyRanger 0]

sure,I'll make a 10 vs 10 later and even 30 vs 30

in fact,I'm now on the vehicle and support AI,infantry's AI is almost done.

[kremator 1064]

This looks BRILLIANT. Remember to keep it XEH compatible please so that we add other lovelies into the mix !

Can't wait to get playing with it.

you know whats gonna be the greatest joke? when Arma2 gets delayed again to catch up with FFN. anyway...

is there going to be any difference between night and day tactics used by AI controlled squads?

[Rak 0]

Just incredible Tony. This surely will be a must have mod for all ArmA players.

Looking forward for what you have for vehicles

That wouldn't be funny at all. A small company like BIS can be effected greatly by delays. Delays can mean an increase expenses, in turn effecting the capital structure of the business. Revenues get delayed and return on invested capital can be greatly reduced, thus the profitability goes with it. This can cause trouble with future projects because financing may be harder to get, that is if they require it.

Regardless, delays are not a funny thing at all. It may bother the community but it stresses the developers and employees even more. The greatest impact delays have are on the people involved in the company. They have the most to lose.

Moving on....

Yeah I'm curious about the day/night AI as well. I'm sure Tony's got something up his sleeve.

This thing looks very promising, keep at it TR. Thanks for all the videos and info.

The fact that peoples lives can be negatively impacted is far from funny to me.

[Deathstruck 375]

I guess that they will hire TonyRanger (Yup, this happens all the time to great addon/mission makers = Gaia etc) so bye bye AI enhacement for ArmA 3    

and yeah, I would like to ask if AI in night is affected too ?

You know I made one mission, its pretty dark night (0: 12 pm to be exact), and Marines without NVGs are able to spot me, while I am crawling 100 meters from them ....

i said its gonna be a joke, there wasnt anything about "funny stuff". please dont let the ignorance to be this radiant and learn to read. as a rightful vengeance i havent read your educational blast either.

Excuse me? I simply provided a serious retort to your comment. Don't come around here insulting me or any one. If you are going to act like that, man up and send me a PM.

Give us a break, that sure sounded like a shot at BIS. You didn't make that hypothetical. "gonna be a joke" and "would be a joke" are two completely different things. As is "when ArmA2 gets delayed" versus "If ArmA2 gets delayed"

As I said before, I don't find that funny at all and that wouldn't be a joke at all.

Tony,

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Night flares would be great. How about a flare that is only visible through NVG? I'm not sure if that's possible in ArmA but it would be great to have.

[Deathstruck 375]

will the night affect AI more ?

crawling 2 meters reaaaaly quitely behind soldier shouldnt be a problem ?...unlike in vanilla ArmA

one more thing, are the scripts you use new from scratch or is it a compilation of existing material?

to manzilla: oh, yeah ... stop trolling will you? it really looks like you only beg for attention. no offense, peace.

edit: this fun ends here, share your deep thoughts via pm. im watching this thread for FFN mod, not troll porn. hope you are old enough to understand.

[manzilla 1]

Is it necessary to keep talking trash to me? Once more, if you got something negative to say to me send it via PM. This forum ain't the place for that.

honestly, you started to act like some whiny doosh bag

I dont recall/see any offensive terms at manzilla's first post, so your "ignorance" and "educational blast" was here at the first place

now guys cut this cr*p, I want to watch FFN news, not your flame-bait
