My tactics are simple. If i ever touch a road it is only to cross it, keep my men in a diamond formation, never move faster than a jog, keep constant vigilance about scanning the horizon, and when I make contact I drop down and engage from there; just find cover and let them do the moving, when they do shoot them for trying it. This basically breaks down into me engaging the enemy then going defensive. The only exception is in the case of static weapons or armed vehicles, for those i usually find some way to sneak in close to them and use what i cant to either avoid or destroy them.

I hate any mission where its just some units spawning next to some vehicles with a bf2 style gameplay; whether it be tvt or coop. Once the mission makers get going you will start seeing missions with defined objectives, specific roles that cannot be changed, and a 1 death only policy. Those are by far the best as everyone starts in a squad and knows what they have to do. Including a real command structure.

You dont need to make the pilot disembark to get him to land fully. As long as the terrain is extremely flat, like the helipad is, the pilot should come to a full touch on the ground.

I wonder if the laser target has to be outside of the center of the model. Can the laser target be seen through vehicles?

You could set up a waypoint and use the moveOut command if you dont mind a bit of scripting.

One didn't have to be Hannibal to see that Carthage was going to burn.

^ No, not a fact. The GAU-8 will not penetrate modern mbts. Every major modern mbt can withstand numerous runs agaisnt the GAU-8. Read up on penetration and RHA values. Testing by the US army clearly shows the GAU-8 is ineffective agaisnt most mbts. Even an upgraded t62 withstood two runs from it.

Well, just be careful. I'm sure placebo will decide if its ok or not.

Well, originally the empty space is just how they dealt with the map ending. However, i have heard of some rumors that an expansion pack would add more map to the current map area. Unconfirmed rumors of course.

I saw that one another forum recently, however the forums rules clearly state no posting of any footage involving real killing.

Tweak the skill settings to get a better result. The ai does think about where they last saw you and how you were last moving. So, the AI probably saw you moving in a direction and fired into that general area. The 1 shot spotting is something i have never experienced personally. However, i do realize that the grass and bushes that are small do not exist to the AI. Try hiding behind trees or big bushes that dont disappear when you turn the terrain detail to very low. Doing this i can generally pull off at least two shots before getting shot at, and when i do get shot at its generally inaccurate fire. There are holes in the AI, but understanding how they work can let you better deal with it. Hope it helps.

Well the warfare missions are tvt (team versus team, you wont find many non team deathmatches out there). Servers that are more tactical in nature play some tvt every now and then. Overall, looking at the mp list i can find a healthy list of tvt servers with good pings. However, i live in the central USA with a 10 meg cable internet connection. Translation: I am in one of the best places in the world for game server pings. I cant help you with your ping if thats the issue.

Ya, once the 5.56 slows down it becomes significantly less effective. 10 shots seems a little extreme even for 800m but i guess it depends where you hit him and if body armor does anything in the game. I still cant decide, sometimes it seems like it does but most of the time not.

This is why I believe its along the Crimea Coast (black sea). However, the arma trailer does show it on the Caspian Coast. I'm pretty sure the Volga cannot transport a carrier group. And so far that is the only connection in and out of the Caspian. Plus, why would Russia ever allow the US to run ships through the volga in order to get them there if it was at all possible.

^ umm yes. That is exactly what i was saying. When we refer to things as "hacks" we are to assume it is either cheating, or causes some form of malevolence to the other players. Or did you mean the addons thing? Yes, you can use addons to hack. Thats why bi keys were released. But unfortunatly the server has to have ever bi key they wish to allow uploaded so I can use my signed addons. Some addons dont even get signed. So ultimately the servers dont keep up with the addons and no one ever gets to use the best ones and vanilla arma is all thats allowed. As far as I'm concerned this is a childish way to treat the situation. A game that is all about mods becomes totally restricted this way. Plus, people just use third party hacks to do it anyway. I wish there was someone who kept up a rar file full of the best and most popular mods that are confirmed to be non hacks. They would keep a rar updated that is full of the bikeys that way servers just had to go to one place every now and then to update the bi key list.

Lol, me to but at least its not an upgraded t72. Well, good luck.

Ya, one of the wankers takes about an hour to get on the helo. Land, sit still, press the plus sign (Not the numpad one) which will speed up time. Wait some more, eventually he will get in then press the - sign (Not numpad) to slow time back down and continue.

I find that when i set up basic editor stuff, just groups here and there, that they do not respond well. But when i make a mission where they are dropped off in a truck or helo, then move in on target that the AI is rather satisfactory.

It is a hack. People spawn a-10's, hack their evo points to fly a-10s and everything else. If this follows the same path that ofp and arma did this game is going to be hacked over and over for the first few months. This is why so many servers don't allow any mods whatsoever. Though this cannot stop a 3rd party hack. It is a shame these hackers have ruined it for the rest of us. Its so hard to find a server that lets me use even a sound mod.

This is so interesting because it seems these uber pc's have more trouble than just the high end machines. The only time my computer struggles at all is in the major cities, and even then it drops from about 35 fps to 25. However, i did hear that warfare causing a memory leak. Well, hopefully a patch will fix this for everyone.

Try doing these tests but not having the enemies spawn near each other. Try making way points which causes them to intersect eventually. I am unsure why, but the closer the ai spawns to each other the more stupid they are. Something with initializing the AI or maybe the AI needs some distance so it can think before acting. I noticed that when i set up battles in the editor when i place an attacking force close, they get destroyed. I would then take the same exact situation and put about 700 meters between attack and defense and the attackers all the sudden win.

I am not a fan of it. Its functionally great but for some reason it just feels weak. Generally, if i snipe at all i avoid the .50s unless I'm hitting at 1500-3000m

m1a2 tusk is a m1a2 outfitted with an urban survivability kit. In short, it was specifically designed to take a pg7 warhead from an rpg7 without taking any damage whatsoever. The only place that it would be effective is right into the exhaust vent and even then it would only immobilize it not take it out. It was specifically designed to deal with rpg and ied attacks from all angles. Now the tandem 120mm warhead is a a lot tougher to stop, and i assume would blow it up quicker.

No. Russian word for white is Beloia (sorry about spelling) word for black is Cherni (again sorry for spelling)

!!! I am now going to play manhattan while playing fortunate son.
