Arma 2 Addon request thread

[kyfohatl 10]

I really enjoy playing warfare missions (e.g. War Welcome), especially in coop mode with my friend. But since we're only 2 people, we have to rely on AI to fill up the game. My problem is that after some time into the game (30 min to 1 hour), the AI begins to spam APCs and Tanks, completely ignoring other light vehicles and most importantly INFANTRY. It makes the game kinda repetitive and pretty easy, since all we do at that stage is to equip our squads with javelins and then blow vehicles up from across the map. I no longer move in fear, constantly scanning the surrounding in fear of an infantry ambush (vehicles are much easier to spot and hear) and I no longer have to think about getting the right balance of troops: I just spam AT units.

So I was wondering if anyone was willing to tweak the warfare mode - maybe in the form of a mod - to prevent the AI from spamming APCs and tanks later in the game, and change the balance of units to having mostly infantry, fewer APCs and light vehicles and even fewer tanks (I would do it myself but I don't know how to).

Cheers

Imeni Makhtumkuli, Turkmenistan (Caspian Border from BF3). Or, if there's any existing island that resembles Caspian Border, that'd be great too (if you suggest anything, don't suggest Chernarus, Lingor, or Panthera, as they aren't like Caspian Border). Basically, it'd be nice to have a generally green map (no orange, brown, or yellow vegetation) with a large relatively flat area with some buildings and hills, and woodland with roads/paths cutting through. Like Caspian Border.

May anybody make some training and COIN aircrafts (both jet and turboprop) - EMB-312/314, PC-9, A-37, O-2, OV-1, OV-10, Hawk, MB-339 etc? I suppose they will be very useful in arma scales.

i will update the PC-9's cockpit someday with the one from a harrier maybe, also i feel like adding a flir cam to it

its still in Irish Air Corps colours :rolleyes:

What about Chernarus, Lingor and Panthera? I'm not sure if you've considered those.

No, I've tried those. Neither of them really have the right land shape. Chernarus doesn't have the right colors (should be all green), Lingor isn't really all grassy, and both Lingor and Panthera are too foresty.

It's grassy, bumpy, but relatively flat terrain, sectioned off by groups of trees. Not foresty with pockets of flat terrain.

"bumpy" = flat?

If bumpy = hilly, and my eyesight = true, then your eyesight = false.

[Tankbuster 1744]

bump < hill, noob.

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Bumpy < hill, however...

If # of bumps > # of flat areas, then bumpy does not = "relatively flat".

[max power 21]

I think he's just saying that it's not mountainous but has small, rolling hills.

+1 rep for not rising to my clearly sarcastic bait. :)

Im looking for a missile object/large static launcher which does not need to be functional for use in a mission

(Like the ones in the film The Rock)

I have searched but have had no luck, anybody know if such a thing is out there?

[evil_brownie 17]

To Darkhorse 1-6, about the Mohawk, there's one from A1 that works very well on A2, i use it in fact, can't seem to find a link to it though anymore, i'll edit this if i do.

As for DiscountAnubis: it was an Evo AFAIK (can't remember which model) : P

If you want, check this, it's an Evo IX

But if you want a white subaru there's one aswell, search for civy car park over at armaholic.

EDIT: Here it is. Enjoy! http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=5010&highlight=OV-1

Again, as far as i know, i've never had problems using it with A2:CO + RFT (and quite a few extra addons)

I also tested the Bronco a while back and the only real issue was the cockpit glass textures from the inside view, they were quite hard to see through if you know what i mean : P

Haha- Subaru, Mitsubishi, I fear I'm not too familiar with Asian car manufacturers.

(Says the guy who drives a 2010 Toyota Yaris)

I get the feeling that both would end up the same way when faced with a pack of Jackals and a few hundred rounds of .50 cal, anyways. But now I can test that in a (barely) scientific environment! Thanks kindly!

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Brownie, I know about that...

PMC may update the OV-1 and OV-10 for ArmA 2, or maybe Cheyenne will.

PMC did their own version of the one Cheyenne originally ported, I don't know which one plans to update it, but I'm pretty sure it will be updated to A2/OA standards eventually.

MICH Helmet Pack (MICH-2000, MICH-2001, OPS CORE FAST Helmet) with eye protection, in the place of glasses.

What is the best Zombie Mod for Arma 2? It should be playable in coop.

Thanks!

Thank you, I will try that!

[evil_brownie 17]

Galils exist. Search for either vilas' weapon packs for it (it has a couple of'em) or a standalone galil pack i saw just the other day.

request for original specfor units (blufor and opfor), not taken from standard BIS units or johnny's sf (no offense but they've been used to death), not a black variant of the marines or re-skin of Force Recon units. Along these lines:

Feel free to suggest addons if there are any that I missed (as in ones that actually look close to the pics I posted). I'm not looking for addons that make the game more like Modern Warfare, just would like units such as these for urban specops scenarios.

[Gerwazy 10]

Few weeks ago I started to look for a soundmod completly different from all ingame sounds and soundmods. I know JSRS and RWS adds the best sonicracks but the sound of weapons is realy unrealistic(too much clean for me) and the sound of explosions is not enought loud. I'm looking for something moore like sounds from this video:

Also I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEcjd...h_response_rev - but I think this addon is not avalible for community.

[SPC.Spets 21]

If someone makes Arma2 sounds like the first video, I will give him some oral sex.... not really.. but you know :p

This!

And a big city map, not like Emita, but more like New York. City with high rise buildnings

What a magnificent sick feeling to go trough a city like that with your soldiers, everything is nearly destroyed and heli's over you. Then suddenly, another strike from OpForce.

I know, MW3-rip, and do not comment "Wait for MW3" or something like that. Arma 2 and MW3 is different. Making your own missions in New York.
