Standing up and Insurgents

[Curious 0]

You should be able to stand up when firing RPG/Stinger

All the "insurgents" need to have a more causal stance when firing, hip firing like Iraqi insurgents and such, basically not too professional.

That would require a whole new makeover of the animations, when i think of this i think of that Black hawk down movie with the enemies shooting from the him legs spread far apart.

You should be able to fire those things while standing up, kneeling, or prone.

I wouldn't recommend trying the prone position with the RPG ;)

AT weapons should not restrict stance. As for firing from prone, it can be done. The body just has to be positioned correctly to avoid backblast.

Been there, done that - with practise and live ammunition. You get the most steady shot from a kneeling, sitting or prone position. Of course, in the prone position you have to be the most careful about the backblast = how you situate your body in relation to the recoilless rifle.

You also can't fire all recoilless rifles from a prone position without an additional support for the launcher. However, conditions permitting, prone position would be the most accurate and steady position, especially with models with large caliber or high muzzle velocity.

I have to say you wouldn't need a whole rework of anim system as it would be just some more entries and transitions (nothing that huge)

Now such work can be easily added since they made it possible to have seperate torso/legs anims (you can notice the difference like MGS2 -> MGS3 : try crawling and turning !) ; we are now able to take leg anims from "rifle stand" set and just put "rocket to shoulder" from crouched launcher anim set. With 2-3 settings, this (IMO !) can be done, at least a lot faster than actually with OFP/ArmA anim system.

ACE did this for ArmA, so it is perfectly possible to do for ArmA 2.

Would anyone in here fight "casually" if they became paramilitary insurgents? The desert guys do that because they honestly have never seen the proper handling of firearms or they have an IQ of a suicide bomber.

We're talking about East European rural people. They most likely have internet, heavy military presence and many of them hunt more or less occasionally.

Very true, i've trained in militia tactics and guerrilla skills, and I'm not going to be the guy standing and shooting my ak-103 at a tank. Pretty much everything a real guerrilla does is ambushing. You'll never see a conventional assault using guerrilla tactics, nor stupid hip firing. Infact, red dawn is a pretty realistic movie in some instances.

Shooting rockets prone or standing or whatever is cool and everything, but I'm really looking forward to being able to put the rocket launcher between my legs and thrust with it before firing with it that way. And maybe after that you could have animation where the character does this little giddy up dance and runs off with it like a hobbey horse.

We are most likely talking about culture also. Not being afraid to die is big manly thing in some locations, sure in west also but not as strongly. For example Gurkhas in british Army seems to have reputation of keeping their head up bit too long just to show to their comrades that they are men.

Then again we see pretty casual fighting from western troops also in some videos. Why? Because they are shooting at something and that something isn't shooting at them. Same with most insurgent videos also, i'd believe. For some strange reason those who actually have fought against insurgents doesnt' seem to be telling that all what insurgents did was firing from hip in middle of street. I find comments like "aiming for the head", "dangerous" and "skillful" to be used more.
