AirShark

very nice mod indeed ^ ^ however, i found that the driver view of the Ka-97 is a little bit higher than the Hud as it should be... pictures: current position: https://imgur.com/cLJC4vi this how it should be: https://imgur.com/4xSqG4n

Yes it would indeed be more logical this way and the reason why i was thinking of excluding none armed helicopter(s) without cargo unit(s) from being requested. Guess i have to re-think about it.  but also will remove the nice feature that I discovered today.. Air relation between Recon and Armed helicopters, which is impressively realistic and good for milsim gameplay, if you can't find a script to prioritize it I think we shall forget about it and keep planing for the size check 😛 i mean if the Ai is not capable of the enemy after calling the Recon Heli they will call the gunship for it .. EDIT: actually it makes a lot of sense the Ai group need to locate the enemy with the Recon helicopter first before calling the gunship to check and confirm the hostiles and their destination as well as collecting the necessary informations I think it's great as it is... I feel soo idiot to think the opposite while I already explained it above yesterday Moreover that's how they do it in real life anyway i think i will reinstall the whole game... none mission loaded just placing units in the editor

no im talking about Ai in general ^ ^ don't you think that prioritizing the armed vehicles first to be requested in combat... im mean its Logic why calling empty Taru while you can call Gunship ? thanks for the tips ^ ^ can you add an option to deactivate it... this has disadvantages more than advantages because it will prioritize hearing than watching i found it a little bit off.. i mean why they travel all the way to see a wreck while there is combats going around... i prefaire pushing them to combats in order to support the other groups 😛 maybe good but only when they don't have visuals on the location of the explosion I will do more tests about it... later ^ ^ could be an issue with my other mods maybe... however, they don't have any relation with Ai 😛 one thing i tested today which actually surprised me... is the capabilities of the Ai during night time in Arma 2 the Ai skills like the spotting time/distance are reduced during night time the same for accuracy... unlike Arma 3 where you can get sniped from miles away by Ai even if they are not using night visions... its really weird where an Ai without night vision can spot you very fast while you cant do the same to them and sometimes even when using NVGs/Thermals Ai is overpowered during night time with incredible super vision EDIT: I have some Errors that pop up for some reason... though I don't know why I'm the only one getting those... they appear even when none other mods loaded >_> pictures: https://imgur.com/fmHVzfp https://imgur.com/yy9xtoZ https://imgur.com/EnUbyHZ https://imgur.com/kqGpq2r

Hi Snk! Great job with the update it really did the change ...however, during my scans, I noticed a lot of cool and strange things 1- the accuracy... the Ai has 0 accuracy when I get too much close to him... he wasted 2 magazines to finally scratch my face (i tested it by putting mounted static ai and when I get close to him he disembarks and starts shooting... he missed a lot and repeatedly) 2- the Ai sometimes take forever to react with engagements... all of them try to quickly find cover while none of them covers the other 3- when they attack they do it all.. when they walk they walk together... when they engage they engage together sharing the same task which gave me the opportunity to snipe them one after the other and vice versa 4-Ai groups move to the crash site even when the vehicle is destroyed and the crew burned on fire (i saw that when Ah little bird falls from the sky and explode in the ground while a whole platoon running to it trying to check if the pilots are dead... they wasted a lot of time by doing that) 😅 5-you did a fantastic job with the static turrets ai was engaging when spotting the enemy and take cover when getting tight as well as disembarking when i get too close to them the best feature so far 👏 6- i found the Taru flying above me... she exposed me... the whole platoon was running towards me and the Mi-48 finished me I was impressed by how that Taru was cooperating with the Kajman each time the Taru discover something the Kajman will follow it.. but i thought you excluded the big birds 7-losing the control over Ai... this what was afraid about it sometimes they don't apply to my orders (when they shoot and order them to move they keep shooting they became all leaders) 🤭 8-some of them take cover behind other Ai and aiming at the bottom thing... this one is old but in the latest updates actually increased 9-they take cover a lot, but sometimes in the wrong situations... when trying to chasing me for example or tracking other Ai which makes them very slow by doing that.. this actually confused me to see their behaviour they were attacking but at the same time defending 10-reinforcements: the Taru somehow is prioritized than the Kajman during my tests... each time the ai call support the Taru comes first 11-sometimes when the reinforced transport helicopter try to unload the units... she touches the ground and fly again before the units got unloaded which makes them disembark in the air ...i forgot the other things i think I'm getting to old, i will try to remember them later >_> however, i tested that in CQC... i will check CQB now 😛 im using the dead bodies as cover... i know you do this for optimizations but i would like to see the Ai using dead bodies as cover like GL4 if you remember = ) ...i really miss the GL4 features... are you planning to port them... i know they require a lot of rewriting in the codes though but they worth it 🐺 EDIT: sorry I misunderstood can you tell what this feature is made for... is it for Debug ??

yes but actually that's not the issue... the issue is when they try to do it when the enemy is 1 foot step close; looks completely unrealistic its like using sniper rifle in CQB Lol ***and They always keep track on your direction... throw a grenade on them and they will keep doing that lol you can also try to plant C4 behind them... iirc they don't use Hearing feature when they are on static turrets 😂 ^ ^ ^ i will do more tests on this one... i tested it on Arma2 only 😛 b t w i never said they are slow... they just mustn't try to be superman and get themselves killed when the situation gets tight don't forget that im using version 1.0.21... if you tested that on your latest version remember that you 've changed a lot of things including Skill calculation and stuff... that's maybe one of the reasons that makes them soo fast for you >_> Not anymore, I don't like FSM conflicts inside my mods folder Lol, i used to do that with GL4 editing the pbos of every Ai mod to make them compatible... but I'm very tired to do that... i think I'm getting too old Lol same for AA, snipers, marksman, engineers, Repair and explosives specialist, medics... none of these have Roles in the Air... all of them should be in the ground Tbh I don't see the point of this feature EDIT: except for special forces... like in the MH little bird I know... not hard but may take a lot of time and days of work within hundred lines of scripting to be compatible with the other features🙄

@snkman when I was playing I noticed that the Ai is calling MEDEVAC vehicles (non-armed Medical vehicles) as reinforcements during combat while they should call it after combat when there is no enemy nearby... putting them in the field just increased the casualties unfortunately, I can't find a solution for it so I will be glad if you give me a script to exclude specific units from being called as reinforcements... ...for excluding the helicopters as reinforcements I recommended boundingBoxReal instead of boundingBox many forums said its much better and precise , however, I didn't test them yet but if you will use axis variants it will be cool if you can check the maxWidth only (Xs) instead of X, Y, Z because (the bigger the helicopter is the bigger the main rotor will be) like the Taru in the CSAT forces have huge main Rotor blades due to its size... and also because some Recon helicopters are very high like the OH-58 Kiowa have huge sensor above the main rotor... technically higher then the chinook ...other Recon helicopters have a very Long tail for some reason... i mean its Logic even Fat humans have extra width than the others 😂 I also noticed the Ai sticking too much to the static turret... it will be soo cool if hey dismount when the enemy is soo close (>5 meters away) for realistic results because that's what would happen in real life or any other video game to avoid being flanked or thrown by grenades... rotating the Static turrets would take some time especially when the enemy is very close ... it will be very slow to aim at target that close enough especially moving targets during CQB.. the results would be Fatal to the guy in the static turret I think I already reported this before... I was actually turning and trolling around an Ai that mounts AT Static turret and he tried to aim at me instead of disembarking and shooting me 🤣 ...it will be awesome to add a script for Ai mounted Static turrets to actually disembark when the enemy is extremely close and take cover if possible ...you mean the Door gunners... I guess they are part of the helicopter crew according to wiki they must stay on the helicopter, however, I don't understand the word "may" in the changelog Edit: you mean the units that can shoot from the passengers seats… I wonder how this work this will divide the squads if the units needs an AT guy in the ground... and suddenly finding him chilling in the sky... they would be all dead and crushed by tanks... there is a reason for all of them being needed in the ground because the squad leader needs all of them in combat... I think if someone needs units in the helicopter to support ground units... just assign new group for it ?!

pretty much every 5 minutes its always open in my browser you can make it random because it depends on the situation, to be honest, they are more in the Air during night time while in the day they quickly return to base but for helicopters like chinook it has a huge size which should be excluded or add small random chance to it... it depends on the size of the helicopter as well, as i said above, light/small helicopters are the most for recon.. you know like little birds, but the big ones are used on Recon for emergency situations only where there is no Recon vehicles/Helis around Chinook doesn't have a low profile capability and very slow to be used for recon (only if the duty calls) 😛 nothing is waste... just improve it with Random values and expand it... Good luck Edit: or maybe you can make a script to check the maxLoadMass weight for helicopters to categorize them in order to exclude some of them if you want to go that deep 😛 (the bigger the helicopter is.. the heavy it will be, and the chance for it to be used for recon reduced)

the unarmed/non cargo helicopters like the Bell OH-58 Kiowa/Little birds are made for Reconnaissance support to spot the enemy locations and collecting some data during combats... very useful during night time some of them have thermal/NVG support and advanced avionics and they are used as reinforcements in RL to reveal hidden enemies or report the situations and states as well as calling airstrikes/artillery strikes collecting pictures/videos jamming radars filling the sky with flares to help ground troops at night... and even more = ) ...they are not made to just fly around Helicopters without armament and cargo space have their own special role... becuase of their reliability and low profile... widely used by special forces it would be cool to be requested by Ai if they share the informations and datas with the ground troops and making it loitering on the enemy positions these helicopters are more useful than the armed once in most situations even the civilian looking ones that are used for military purposes, they can sneak into enemy territory with civilian profile and ruining their day... 😈

Hi Snk i made more tests today = ) i found that the machinegunners are extremely slow to aim and shoot during CQBs (pretty much forever)... not sure if it was fatigue or another issue i will make more test for it later :3 however, i played with Ai for the whole day and i found that they are not taking empty/stationary vehicles as cover... during the test when the Ai got suppressed and pulled down by the enemy i drove my heavy truck to them in order to cover them and block enemy suppressing... they just ignore it and pass it away and getting shot by the enemy 🤨 i wish if you can add objects and stationary vehicles as cover for the Ai that would make the whole difference :p ...good luck with the v.1.0.31 cant wait for the release 🤭

weird !?, are you sure i didn't customize the unit... just placing it in the editor ^ ^ ...maybe if im not mistaken its on tacs_weapons_rhs_usf.pbo, the optional addon that replace vanilla weapons with RHS ones on Theseus Services it could be RHS bug as well... if it really belongs to it (not sure) However please check again i didnt edit any loadouts = )

first congratulations for this unusual mod ^ ^ ....i got weird reloading animations with the NSVT-12.7 in the Land cruiser

i found something wrong :https://imgur.com/0LLUJ37

congratulations ! very good indeed 😉

Hello Snk i was testing TCL today and i found something ^ ^ first, error message that pops up randomly... https://imgur.com/qP0Yfxb ...and i noticed that Tanks rarely fires on enemies in close range, and when they flank they move to much close to the target that they couldnt shoot especially in the bompy hills and mountains, maybe because the gunner cant lower the cannon when the driver is 1 step close to the enemy 😀 However i will do more tests Later....

yesterday, i did more tests and the results was amazing ! the Ai split, few of them took cover and mount static turrets others advanced and engage however when i flanked them they somehow got confused and all of them start engaging on one side even when they knew the situation and the position of the flankers... i noticed something... one of the Ai mounted AT turret (static turret) while the enemy Ai s where infantry side only, no vehicles in the field... he stays there till my Ai s group killed him 😄 im sure it will happens with the AA (static turrets) too, however i will do more tests next week 😉

after the updates sometimes i get this error picture: https://imgur.com/8MXpiba

hello, im getting these Errors: pictures: https://imgur.com/JzsR11y https://imgur.com/DB0QkkQ

nope, i tried it even without mods only (CBA) pictures: https://imgur.com/A7JgnQt https://imgur.com/oTsLFFd https://imgur.com/S5nivPZ

and if there is no driver like in turrets ? so when the driver dies the gunner will disembark... iirc i saw that happens in GL4 I killed driver and the gunner disembark while he could finish me with his heavy machine gun... disembark with combat behavior is an issue here unless its in safe/aware im currently using this code to keep vehicles crew in _veh = vehicle _x; _veh allowCrewInImmobile true;

there is an issue with WMO.. when climbing vehicles and get down you can actually get through them pictures: https://imgur.com/xjoF1db https://imgur.com/gjUQbYQ https://imgur.com/rqkqoHq https://imgur.com/WVtEt6Z https://imgur.com/VKgG1UQ https://imgur.com/yBJC4tt https://imgur.com/sX3bG6D https://imgur.com/q5J2SxJ

i was getting the same issue with arma 2 when I used GL4 so... RHS is using arma 2 configs because most of their stuff are ported from vanilla A2... same for cup and 3cb factions 🤔 I tested it with ZSU-23... which is configed as a real turret and the same thing happened

its not only with RHS I tried it with 3cb factions... technicals and cars were more likely to disembark when I tested however maybe your right some 3cb faction units are using RHS class names... maybe RHS is using different configs they add a lot of stuff into the game wich leads to incompatibility sometimes even with vanilla but this bug is known from GL4 wich put aside the suspicion of RHS so it's definitely TCL thing.

thank you very much for the T-55s main weapon class, however im unable to find them in the config viewer right now im searching for the Hilux ZSU-23... I also tried to find the "UK3CB_D10TG" in the config viewer but couldn't the same for the Hilux ZSU-23.

where can I find the class names for the vehicle weapons... im searching for the T-55s cannon class name
