This is true, they switched in '05 to ACU but I still like the BDU's myself. A patch after this possibly?

Yes the new units look good, the last ones looked goofy.. I could care less about precise placement of grenade pouches on the vest just so long as it does not look totally unrealistic. Â In the new patch are there going to be less tracers? Â And if not at least not red and green? Â Yellow or something..

The current vest

what is with you people and fat body parts... looks pretty normal to me. when I was in the field I would always have my cargo pockets crammed with crap from maps to MRE pieces. A very good point. The textures in the game right now look MUCH MUCH better. The straps on the vest look like they are very worn out (light green color) and the rest of the model looks like he just walked out of the PX with new camo. Not a good combo.. I think you need me as an advisor I was an 0311 for 8 years.

Patience, all good things are worth waiting for..

Another real life experience.. no we never used tracers except for occasionally on the rifle range (we started a brush fire btw). They would only be useful at night and even in that case they would give your position away "tracers point both ways", and then there is the pac-4, kind of an ultraviolet laser type thingy, you can only see the beam with nvg's on. so ya..

Not all American forces use those. The only reason my unit used them was for squad identification at night. And we had to sew them on ourselves.

reinstall it

Correction! Problem with BAS, Â Says bas_bttr is missing addon bas_OPFOR.. any help

Lol, the funny thing is I was just playing with the tractor today on the desert island and thought how cool would it be to slap some weapons on it.. very nice.

Get the new FFUR, this whole thread is about 2006 2.0 anyway, not the older versions..

At 500m using a standard issue M16A2 service rifle with open sights I can get a head or body shot about 7/10 times. Prone position of course. I might be a freak of nature but it is very possible in real life and should be so in the game.

Wonderfull looking update Now one thing. Is this lagging the crap out of anyones comp? I have a really good graphics card, pentium 4 xeon @ 3.08 ghz, and 512 ram (which could be better), but ya its very laggy. Might it be better if i reinstall ofp without 1,000 addons? Just wondering, want to play this thing but hate lag.

Like I was saying, IRL attack helo's are not going to be straffing over large platoons like they do in the game. Â They keep a stand off distance of several kilometers and do shoot and run missions. Â I wish we could replicate this in the game using AI. Â Would be a great improvement and bring alot more realism. Â We are just limited in game in terms of scale of battle due to lagging the hell out of your comp with all the support units a front line unit would have with it. Â Its just annoying flying into an area and then have 8 tanks all turn their fire on you and have it be spot on shots. Â You go down pretty fast. Â Then it all comes back to how real you want the game to be.. Â

In real life it is very very rare for a tank to ever shoot at a helo of any sort. Like someone else said the chance for a shot like that almost never happens. In OFP we like to fly right over tank platoons without a second thought, IRL this would be a bad idea b/c there are typically anti-air units in the area. It is very unrealistic that they shoot at you in game, dont think that should be added agian. This is of course unless we start using more assets provided ingame like the vulcan and soilders with AA weapons. Which would increase realism quite a bit btw. But then that borders on how fun you want the game to be. Article in foward air defense

I found a brand new copy at a used book store for $6.00

If someone would be interested in designing this for me it would be greatly appreciated. Going to be used for a mod in the design stage. give me your thoughts Image, clicky

It says the AH-1 will be replaced with the AH-64 So is that the update or whats up here?? More like is the link for the download on the first page the updated version..

Almost 8 hours... come on tb we are HOT So close...

Terrific, looks very nice. Thank you very much

Beh, if anything there should be an artillery system included with the next update.

So I should asume no one wants to do this and move on with life eh.

I prefer modern all the way but I wo0uld give it a try, just b/c FFUR rocks in general

That answered a question I have had for awhile

Just out of curiosity did you just start playing? you have like 15 different threads asking for all sorts of different addons
