Mmm. RK. But the selector and stuff are on the wrong side

XP may look too candy but remove the theme and voilá, not anymore. Windows 2000 was good but XP is a lot better and (at least fopr me) it's really good for gaming. Of course all the real work is done in UNIX environment but at home i'll stick with Windows XPpro.

What a lame idea. btw, I get one shot one kill usually even with the sniper rifles in the game now.

BTR. Anyway, quite enough vehicles in OF already. All of those presented in the vote are just cosmetics. They should add self propelled artillery. search and destroy enemy field artillery that is pounding our stations... or request fire mission to grid x.x, over.... Sigh...

I think you guys should do something useful with your knowledge. I cannot see any use for a nuke in OF. Why not do FAE or JDAM for the jets?

The AN-94 Abakan was missing from the list. That's the only Assault rifle I' want to add to OF.

Yeah right. What a "great" idea. [sarcasm]Now that would improve OF a lot[/sarcasm]

You're finnish, right (somehow I got hat impression)? Where'd you serve with mortars? Did you use the 120mm mothers or the 80mm ones? I was in Säkylä. We shot with those 120mm pounders. It's cool being with the mortars. Not only are you not an artillery moron, but also you are not a ground hugging rifleman... Best of both worlds.  <span id='postcolor'> Oh, Säkylä. I served there in 3JK. (when it was recon company). I was a sniper and the biggest "gun" I got to shoot was a LAW (not the practise but a real one).

I just want to create discussion on what other OF players think about having the option to place troops on top of armor instead of putting them inside to certain death. Nowadays troops prefer to stay on deck so that they have some chance of surviving mines and rpgs. And staying outside gives them better visibility and ables them to use their personal weapons. I know that the OF engine can't support more than one weapon to be fired from vehicle. Anyways it would be cool & practical to have the grunts outside.

I've heard of such 1 000 000+ player and the map was like half the globe. My granpas used to play it a lot in 1939-45. There was a lot of mayhem and they even had all these huge bombers and even flamethrowers. There was just a big problem with respawning.

You're right, the LAW and rpg are the same (except skin). IRL rpg should have different ammo types + better armor penetration with basic ammo not to mention the LAW is a disposable weapon. Same goes to russian HMG, they should have their own weapon (12.7 AAHMG) not M2 east But anyway OF is a dominant masterpiece compared to any other war sim.

We've been creating all kinds of mission for mp. The best ones have been the siege of larche and the aftermath of capturing larche. We also did some triathlon type mp games where you compete against other with trucks, boats, choppers and scuds. The only weapon was kozlice. Kinda fun but I prefer realistic type missions. I've been working on this 20-30 vehicle ambush & getaway mission but it's in someways problematic with so many units. How about you? What type of missions do you prefer when palying OF in mp?

Good point. Where's the russian 12.7 AAMG? Would be great, During my service in the army I had the pleasure of trying it out

Even the heavier 7.62x39 will not phase most lightly armored vehicles.... Now if you want to talk about battle rifles, that's a different matter. 7.62x54R, 7.62x51, .30-06, 7.92x57, etc. will all go through an M113 like it's not even there.<span id='postcolor'> Yeah, it came to mind later that our army uses 7.62 and that can penetrate armor. U.S. and russia use 5.56 or 5.45 and those round cannot do the trick but they do a lot more damage to living targets. Oh, well that brdm in the picture has "few" rifle round holes in it. Sniper rifle, 12.7AA or machine gun perhaps?

Btw. almost every assault rifle and all machine guns can penetrate APC armor quite easily in real life. Of course this depends on the type of ammo used.

By my opinion the M21 and Dragunov are quite well done in OFP. I actually have had experiences with the wind effecting bullet flight path. Swedish mercenary you just need to spend "some" time at the shooting range practising

It's great for patrols and guarding. Not everything has to be armored and armed with 120mm smooth bore cannon to be useful.

Americans already have a jeep W/MG so give the russians UAZ W/MG

Actually grunts just want to stay alive. they have better chances outside than inside incase of a mine or rpg attack. Here's some pics from chechnya.

Nice job with the skins. Excellent to be correct. Tai vois sanoo et vitun siistei Yep. the chechnya conflict for OF would be great. Altought it would need some major modifications. As for maps: -More hills and mountain roads -Urban areas (as in city(s)) -Snow. Units: -Self propelled artillery -VW kleinbus for mujahedin (for suicide bombings -BTR-70 Just to name a few...

I'm just waiting for the BTR. enought choppers in OF already.
