just for balance i miss the "bluefor" antiair :/

usmc have to use captured tunguskas?^^

still vehicles looks realy cool

[Stimpak_Addict 0]

Oh. That's pretty neat.

I don't really know what vehicle that is, but to be honest, it looks more like a moving artillery to me

This is not artillery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1097_Avenger

also: This is one of the air defense systems placed around the Pentagon after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The Avenger system has been in use since 1994 when it replaced the M163 and M167 VADS.

So yeah, it will definitely replace Vulcan-s in future

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Shame the USMC got rid of its LAV-ADs.

They'd make a better counterbalance to the Tunguska than the Avenger does, armament wise.

After watching loads of tank video's... I'm starting to think the sliding isn't so unusual...

Nice list so far That AAV7 should be a barrel of laughs!!

[NoRailgunner 0]

Nice infos again!

One big question is: How good AI units are driving, targeting and using different combat tactics?

Cross fingers that BIS made a proper research+development about the different armament systems, fire control and observation systems, self protection systems. At least that every vehicle has its own typical pro's and con's.

Vehicles are looking good. What I'm pleased about is how the scripts and mods for ARMA1 won't go to waste, and can be salvaged for ARMA2. That way we could be getting realistic additions like FCSs and FLIR quicker than we did for ARMA1, because, honestly I don't think BIS will implement a lot of the features we may want for various reasons (many good).

FCS's are even broken after many patches in ArmA, and they require lots and lots of work because of the engine limitations. Plus you have to do the same things all over for new vehicles. I doubt they'll be converted at all.

Now, how about BIS giving us a complete game with a SIMPLE FCS and FLIR rather than putting their backs at the modders this time?

It doesn't say that the t-90 can fire missles out of it's barrel!

And the bmp-3 looks strange, seems to have a smaller turret and lacks barrel details you would see in other bmp-3 pictures. Could just be a weird angle though.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the bmp-3 is now the bmp-3m today I recall.

[trunkz jr 0]

the BMP3 looks pretty nice tho

[An-225 0]

the test model and the pre-production model have many differences

My mistake, its been a while since I had seen an update on the B, and that lift fan immediately caught my eye.

I brought up the question a long time back about the Arma2 F35 being the prototype and not the production versions (totally different fan doors/opening etc).

The answer was 'when the model was made it was using the most up to date information'

GRAD    Still, Avenger's not in the list. which might confirm that not all vehicles are listed on the website.

Yay!! Nice..

Also there is no HIMARS so it's still unknown which MLRS U.S will use

And also, like said before, there is not all the vehicles that will be in game atm, so they might update the list in future, but thank you BIS for nice updates

Edit: Looks like there is new tag in some vehicles name, GUE so i think those will be NAPA vehicles but who knows..  

[Deadfast 43]

Well, if it's mounted on top of a Humvee it is still a Humvee - just a variant of it

The GUE tag stands for guerrilla (NAPA and ChDKZ).

you could say there is 2 guerrila factions in Arma 2.

both the north one and the south one

I think they did a mistake in the Ka52 description. There are 12 Vikhr tubes, not 6.

Nice stuff nonetheless...

[NoRailgunner 0]

Hmm I'm curious if BIS did research on manufactures sites of helicopters + weapon systems too? Ka-52 can definitively load more than 6 Vikhrs and 1 canon.

Btw the BM-21 Grad looks ok for "Resistance forces" but Russia use BM-27 Uragan (9P140) and BM-30 Smerch (9K58) as MLRS.

Hope that targeting+firing procedures are like in OFP with CoC UA!!  

[Colossus 2]

Nice choppers! And I see the MLRS is up and running as well

Quote[/b] ]M270 MLRS -

The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (M270 MLRS) is an unguided rocket artillery system. It is a very mobile unit well suited for the 'shoot-and-scoot' tactic. The system is capable of firing guided or unguided projectiles to distances of 42 km; or ballistic missiles to distances of 300 km.

http://www.arma2.com/tracked-military-vehicles_en.html

I suppose there is a reason they use this instead of the HIMARS, <s>as it could be the CDF's MLRS.</s> (USMC faction article states MLRS.

Still, it doesn't ruin the game for me.)

so again it is a sort of Joint Army/Navy Fuckup here?

If you look at the picture it has 6 missiles on the one side and also rockets. You can't see the other side but i would assume it symmetrical.
