Arma 2 Addon request thread

[Laqueesha 474]

Soviet Afghan war, we have most of the stuff needed.

Try Vilas' Project 1985 Soviet units combined with the BIS OA Takistani militia units. ;)

Sorry I hate call of duty, but is an example of how I whant the camera.

PROTOTYPE 001 Thanks ill do that

Darkhorse 1-6 thanks, im searching for a camera mod, i know that. Becouse the camera of arma 2 is to close to the objects, wen I use - key is ok but I need press all the time XD

[jagheterjan 10]

Tried pressing Numpad - twice? Camera should remain in furthest-out position then.

[Choki 10]

I dont know that! I going to try it! Thanks

We need a good Army Men Mod for laughs. With the Green Soldiers on BLUFOR and Tan Soldiers on OPFOR. The only problem I see is coding them to melt when set on fire or having them shatter when they are blown up. Then on Independent we could have Gray and Blue Army Men or the bugs

Then if somebody does that we will need a proper map to use them on.(A map taking place in a backyard, living room, kitchen, or bedroom.)

Hi everyone,

I would like to have the GAU-8 (main gun of the A10) to have more dispersion, creating some kind of "field of fire", almost like the real thing. Beacause you know, to hit something with the GAU-8 you have to be a "sniper of the air" :D

Even rifles have more dispersion than that.

I think is very simple and easy to do, and also will improve the realism factor of the game. Just imagine CAS :rolleyes:

I already tried but didn't achieve the results i wanted...

I appreciate any effort.

Let me quote Wikipedia:

Designed specifically for the anti-tank role, the Avenger delivers very powerful rounds at a high rate of fire.

and another one:

The muzzle velocity of the GAU-8/A is about the same as that of the M61 Vulcan cannon, but its improved ammunition is more destructive and has superior ballistic properties. Its time of flight to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) is 30 percent less than that of an M61 round, the projectile decelerates much less rapidly after leaving the barrel, and it drops a negligible amount, about 10 feet (3.0 m) over the distance. The GAU-8/A accuracy when installed in the A-10 is rated at "5 mil, 80 percent", meaning that 80 percent of rounds fired at 4,000 feet (1,200 m) will hit the target within a 20 feet (6.1 m) radius circle. By comparison, the M61 is rated at 8 milliradians

I have no problems to hit a tank accurately with it and the spread seems to be rather realistic.

[spectr0 10]

Sure dude, but you are a badass pilot... congrats.

And that wikipedia research (you really spent time searching :eek:) it's just brilliant.

I thought this is an addon request thread... I didn't realize that my request would be judged with this criteria. If you don't want to help, as it seems to be, I think your post it's really unecessary and should be removed of this space, wich is destined for people who have good ideas to make this game even more fun to play.

Peace :j:

The GAU-8 Avenger is designed to fight armored vehicles, therefor it doesn't make sense to spread the bullets over a larger area without significant effect. A plane is a bad choice to fight infantry in general where a higher dispersion would make sense.

And no, i'm not a "badass pilot", just used to know that it takes some time to get used to it. But reading your reply i now get a idea why you request such an addon. Piloteness forbids me to elaborate. Have a nice day.

:EDITH:

So reducing realism of a weapon will improve the realism of the game? Aye, sure.

[sweguy96 10]

I would like to ask if someone could reskin the takistani SCUD to a ChDKZ version.

Why? Because I want it!

[dlang 24]

I request a mod, not a script to tow aircraft with tractor and a cargo module...

I also think that a new F14 with a good cockpit wouldn't be soo much.

[Gunter Severloh 3911]

For Towing no mod that Im aware of, there is a script however and easy to use, its there if you change your mind, but its easy to implement,

here the link:

@Myke

Dude, I really appreciate your wikipedia research, but I still think the GAU-8 in combat situations have more fire dispersion than 6m...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Iz5MwPsfyo&feature=related

As you can see, I'm pretty sure the distance between the shots it's much bigger than 6m. Therefore, increasing the dispersion in the game will improve the realism.

For sure.

And also, have a nice day too :)

BTW: I'm not asking your help...:j:

PS: In the videos you can see an A-10 firing at enemy building (that isn't an armoured vehicle ;)). Be creative... don't read only wikipedia articles.

You can have wider area covered by moving the plane, no need to make the GAU-8 less accurate. In return, people would miss the accuracy if they actually have to fight a tank.

And never ever again tell me to be creative. What you're asking for can be covered with skill easily, no need for an addon.

for one stop disrespecting one of the most talented aircraft addon makers in this community.

2 as the personal witness of many A-10 gun runs in my military career, the a-10 IS quite accurate. I have seen them put rounds on many t-55s and BMPs (albiet cheap iraqi ones) shredding many of them on the forst pass with almost no missed rounds.

I myself am definately not a bad ass pilot but i learned for multiplayer support the best thing to do is gain some serious altitude, use your air brakes, and you can be just as accurate with minute movements of the nose.

If you like PM me and i can make you a simple config creating a greater dispersion of you like.

[Deathstruck 375]

Is there any addon of Spetsnaz units with Maska helmets or similiar?

I am pretty sure that guys either at Red Hammer Studios, OTK, Sarmat or some random unknown russian site are maybe working on it, but it wouldn't hurt if I asked. :P

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

@Spectr0

The dispersion according to the manufacturers data is about 5 milli-radians for 80 % of the fired projectiles, which means that at a distance of 1,000 meters 80 % of the projectiles knock into a circle of 5 meters in diameter.

Please do some research before saying that something will add realism to the game. Also, insulting a respected addon maker is not the way to make friends here.

[-BAC-honzikpen 10]

i want to request an addon that puts the blurry heat effect that comes out of the engines fon the air vehicles like here behind the chinook.

Edited December 30, 2010 by [BAC]honzikpen

[[aps]gnat 28]

Only Just Cause 2 has that effect available ;)

[lennard 447]

Gnat;1823635']Only Just Cause 2 has that effect available ;)

Yeah and a game called Joint Operations Typhoon Rising I played years ago.

Always loved the effect when I was firing up my Little Bird to play some Coop with some friends.

Plus I don't think it's entirely impossible for Arma 2 but then again I'm no expert in these kinda things.

[Laqueesha 474]

Gnat;1823635']Only Just Cause 2 has that effect available ;)

Command & Conquer: Generals, an RTS game from 2003 has the effect also. ;)

[paplate 10]

I think one way to accomplish that effect is to have an invisible square/polygon as the particle, and give it an animated normal map. I know a few game engines use this to do it.

[-BAC-honzikpen 10]

H.A.W.X has it too, they removed it on HAWX 2, idk why.
