-=Firewall=- 10 Posted September 22, 2009 Hi, I propose to increase the effect of vehicle camouflage in Arma2. Right now, there is no or only a small effect of vehicle camouflage in cooperation with the radar you have got in tanks. What do you think of the camouflage?

vasmkd 12 Posted September 22, 2009 No idea what ur proposing here Are u talking radar jamming or camouflage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmarkwick 261 Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Have you tried the camo netting tents? I don't know if they have a viewblock component, and if it does whether the tents themselves are affiliated to any particular side. If they are, they'll have no effect :D but I remember adding my own viewblocks around a camo tent addon and it was very effective.

-=Firewall=- 10 Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Why have the tanks in the desert a desert camouflage, because a european camouflage would be a absurd. Every vehicle has a camouflage coat, so that they are not so visible from distance. But the camouflage paint of vehicles dont seem to have any effect. In Arma2 it wouldn'T make a difference to paint the tanks in red.... By the way, the radar of a tank in Arma2 is not very realistic...

Inkompetent 0 Posted September 22, 2009 The radar is there as a make-do FLIR. Instead of getting actual working FLIR the radar kind'a simulates all the sensor systems in one package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randir14 10 Posted September 23, 2009 The camouflage is only as good as the person looking at it. Hide your vehicle in bushes and trees. If you're talking about other vehicles being able to lock on easily, it's a way to compensate for the game not having all the advanced targeting systems from real life.

CarlGustaffa 4 Posted September 23, 2009 In Arma2 it wouldn'T make a difference to paint the tanks in red.... Huh? Not always do you have access to hardware or "magical" radars. Getting to a staging area might involve avoiding vehicles enroute, engines running or not. I find the camo pattern pretty good actually. And there doesn't exist any such thing as a 'perfect' camo pattern either :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted September 23, 2009 Maybe against AI it doesnt matter if its red or camo'ed, but thats normal in most games. However against humans its a different story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Firewall=- 10 Posted September 23, 2009 Your right, the behavior of the AI was my intention to ask. Perhaps some mods will add realistic behaviour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted September 24, 2009 There is a camouflage setting in the config which tells the AI how much the object is camouflaged, but this is always the same number so it doesnt change depending on the background. So for the AI it doesnt matter if you walk around in pink trousers as long as the unit is configged with high camo. EDIT: Though they would still show up on the radar, i thought there were other configsettings related to that but i cant remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
