This addon adds in game big (more than 150) pack of tactical signs, which are accepted in designing work map of a commander in Russian Army, which can be set on a map as markers (F6). Befits for easy creation of your own missions on the base of tactic of subdivisions of RA. Following markers entered in set:

• Armament and armor vehicles.
  
• Artillery, aviation, rearward services.
  
• Knots of connection and management points in a range platoon-regiment.
  
• Positions, actions, battle-orders of motorized infantry and tank subdivisions in a range platoon-battalion.
  
• Mine-explosive barrages, actions of airbourne troops and diversion groups.
  

Demo missions are not included in this version. See version for Armed Assault.

1. Installation and system requirements.

system requirements - any version of ArmA2

To install, copy folder @DK in a folder, where your ArmA2 is installed, for example, "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA" folder. After that, add to your ArmA2 shortcut mod=@DK. If you have some mods already installed, then it may look like this "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA2\arma2.exe" -nosplash -mod=@FDF;@STUFF;@DK

Or you can just put dk_znaki.pbo in your ArmA2/Addons folder (not recommended).

2. How to use.

In an order to place markers in an editor press F6 and choose a sign you want from a list.

In RA it is accepted to use next colors of signs on a map:

Red - all what belongs to Friendly forces – subdivisions, armored vehicles, positions, actions, HQs and etc.

Black - designate the Friendly artillery, air defense forces, contacts, engineer and mine-explosives barrages.

Blue - mark all information about Enemy – subdivisions, positions, character of actions and etc. Including his artillery, air defense and other.

By default, colors are proposed for Friendly forces, but the color of marker can be changed by opening his menu.

Remember (!), that signs can be scaled. Some markers(such as “battle-orderâ€, â€squad in defenseâ€", minefields and other "long" signs) must be set on a map in scale not 1:1, but 1:2 or 2:1, they must be stretched in length or in width. Scale is choosing in the menu of marker.

Addon contains built-in support of the Russian and English languages, so they can be used for creation of multiplayer missions.

3. Realism in addon.

Unfortunately there is no possibility to inflict the signatures of different colors to signs. Except for it, I didn’t include possibility to plot the bars of fire and sectors of fire on a map – on ArmA2 map it won’t be pleasure to watch on it.

In other, the set of markers ideally befits for creation of realistic missions, based on tactical tasks, which can be given for subdivisions of RA.

Field manuals of military forces or Russian Federation for motorized infantry and tank subdivisions foresee two types of action – offensive and deffensive. The enclosed demo missions contain the decision of two tactical tasks of motorized infantry subdivision with given and support forces.

They, except for it, can be used as example of making “commander’s work map†and brifieng.

Briefing and map contains:

• Information about a situation on the area of action.
  
• Known information about composition and character enemy’s action, available data about the location of his points of management and fire weapons.
  
• Composition and task of our subdivision.
  
• Information about neighbours and interactive subdivisions.
  

These information is also plotted on map as conventional tactical signs, whereupon, a stage-by-stage standing before subdivision task follows in a kind "objectives".

Awesome. Thank you! This helps me in lots of missions. Downloading!

Interesting addon. A pity that there are no demo missions for the Arma2 version (I don't have Arma installed right now to check out the demo missions). But anyway nice to see an addon being released with demo missions included. I wish every addon would be released with demo missions...

[dead kennedy 124]

Demo missions would be in future.

I just in a hurry. Many people, including mapfact, ask me for these signs before new year.

[zwobot 22]

Mapfact? And I thought they quit (not all of the individual members but the site/team itsself).

Well I was wrong: I still had Arma installed and I tried the demo missions. :) They were fun to play and I liked the briefings and how you setup the movements in the attack with a flanking squad.
