-HUNTER-

Thinks about a inflatable dome structure, on the inside very nice white screen effect... This is awesome, is it much harder to shoot the enemy with a real weapon then the mouse with the simulated weapon. And you mentioned above you "could" be able to buy such a system with vbs software... How many digits are we talking? 4 atleast right...

at acecombat Your alive! and on topic P4 3ghz Dual Core 1024mbDDRII X1950PRO 10:6 widescr but I usually have poor performance with turning arround so it has to load a new bunch of objects. The object needs time to load, and therefor it gives low FPS which is annoying since my pc should be able to play atleast at high settings. It runs like a dream in any other game. Does anybody know a good explanation of what all the features represent and do. Not in high tech langauge but for the noobs among us. And not only what the settings in arma does. But also the usual settings for a 3d graphics card. Like AA and all the harder things. I want to know what improves arma performance and what doenst. So I can tweak it, Ive tried allready offcourse but didnt manage to get any good effect.

I think its very strange to loose all the weapons. I might be a bit realistic that you cannot swim with a javelin on your back or something like that. But also loosing your pistol or main weapon is strange. Especially if you want to do high speed low drag beach insertions and raids from the sea.

Personally I think it would have been better to change the blackhawk for the UH-1N helicopter. Because you'd have support coming from a LPD offcourse for instance. With harriers and UH1N and cobras as support. Change the stryker into a LAV and give the soldiers the marpat camo. Then your also done! Because the stuff that the soldiers are wearing is mostly based off usmc equipment like the hat of the officers, only its in ACU camo. The whole storyline and idea behind it, is more a marine corps mission then an army one imo. But anyway, thinking about the future, we will have all the needed addons at some point. BUT to get back ontopic, I think this apache is waaaaay better then the old one from OFP. I was glad to have it in OFP when it was released because the model is much better, and the avionics and all the gadgets that came with the plane are much better. I also like the Koiwa together with the apache. And about weapon loadouts, please dont do idiot layouts like 4 mavericks, or sidewinders and those strange weapons. Just stick with the most used loadout with 8 hellfires, 38 FFAR, and 1200 30mm, and possibly 4 stingers, its much better and more realistic then 4 freaking huge mavericks...

Lots of people dont fly in smooth lines and good curves, they want their reticle on target asap after every pass.

Should do something like with a taser, you hit the dude and he goes setcaptive true

Yeah, but at 250 a plane should stall out... Just fly faster its easy really. Besides think about the weapons underneath the aircraft at that speed. Its a heavy piece of metal! With even heavier pieces of metal strapped underneath it.

Why, why why would you want a mag with less capacity...? If I would go into battle and I could choose between the 20 and 30 round mags. I wouldnt have to think about it. MO ammo!

HOLY SHIT DUDE! Now that is a good idea to change the human instead of the grass. If your taking a knee and when your standing you can lean left and right. If your on the ground you could roll the "die hard" way. How about they cut out that die hard stuff, and change it so you can raise or lower your upperbody while prone? You can also duck behind objects quickly when fired upon! Like when your prone behind rocks or fallen trees and whatnot!

How in the name of poop cant you have lag... With those pc specs? And how much does FRAPS decrease the overal FPS? Im trying to find out why my 3ghz p4 running at 1024DDRII with X1950PRO wont run like a dream. Considering somebody like you with lower pc specs can film such action shots as in the movie? ty

I would rather have a section like Research and Development Test, Talk, Contribute, share ideas even though you cannot work on those ideas yourself. Like the fact that, has anybody tried making a boat like object which can be made into a bridge! (bailey bridge yeah)

HARD Because its not undoable but then again its not easy aswell. If the AI knows where you are, your best off moving quickly. THE thing I dont like in ARMA is that the AI can see you thrue trees and bushes, while you dont see him. And that sometimes the AI shoots such good shots its unhuman allmost. But the fact that Ive been outflanked and shot from behind several times is a tribute to the improved AI. I was sniping during some EVO and I was shot from behind at point blank allmost. How the hell that dude got behind me is a mistery but I got pwned baaaad..

has ANYBODY thought about the fact that the aircraft isnt fast in real life... And its supposed to do ground attack and not all fancy high speed turns, and that is usually carrying a f384load of weapons, and that really its not the A-10 thats slow, but the harrier waay to fast compared to the A-10, well the GBU harrier atleast. The aircraft should act on the way they are loaded. A bit more power would be nice I agree, but then again, you know its underpowered so just dont do the stuff that will make you stall out. And a CCIP would be very nice, not for the gun imo, but for dropping bombs! The loading of the A-10 in lockon is good, but it can carry far more bombs then that. Ive seen pictures where its absolutly filled up with the triple racks of m-82 500lb bombs... We need those things underneath the A-10, and also some LGB's, combined with mavericks, and ffar pods, aaaand working ECM! Then maybee a little bit of increased power settings and your done. Make longer passes if your stalling out in turns. Oh and every aircraft will stall out if you turn very sharply.

Agrees with above, this whole topic is useless from the start. I wouldnt have posted the same kind of second post. But I must admit I was thinking it. AH-1 or AH-1Z or Cobra Helicopter in google all show the 4 bladed Z version on the first page! especially if you knew that the helicopter was the Z version of it, you'd get this page. Click to go to google page So, JUST KIDDING!!! *jumps in bunker No but seriously it must be a great improvement to have more then 2 blades. But why have they come up with this idea so late in the cobra's development history??? But good to see it getting updated for the future because its a nice helicopter.

Yeah a LRF would be awesome. Not only for soldiers, you could use such a device on all sorts of vehicles. Then again a flashlight and a laser on the weapons would be awesome. But I would settle for a frontgrip placed 3/4 back towards the mag. So not in the middle, but nearer to the mag. Maybee a mag pouch on the stock of the weapon for show... And how about a Eotech scope!

For me its definatly the shilka, I get shot down sometimes from extremely long distances, while I was just peeking up from behind cover with either the blackhawk or cobra... Its really not about a vehicle, but the weapons mounted on it. And then I would say the heavy mg's make me shit my pants the most. Mounted either on UAZ, BRDM, T72, Shilka, or just static. Rip apart the whole aircraft in seconds. The vehicle I fear the least is definatly the Mi-8!

Now THAT sir is f**cking awesome. And not only is it the best ARMA video yet in terms of graphics and camera work and music. It has a extremely good plot. However I would have liked seeing massive nuke launch from the US on all three country's... Just place the scuds behind a hill or something. And let 30 fire at the same time... Anyway awesome video, and how paranoid I might seem, this shit will become reality some day im sure. Maybee not exactly like this, but the general idea behind it, and that region of the world. best video yet! 11/10

Can you only set 1 sound for the bullet crack "event" so to speak...? Because you could have both, depending on the range of the shooter towards you. Just an idea, could that be done like that? Sometimes I think the crack is really good and it sometimes does nearly shit my pants ingame. But I think some whizzing is good for the special effects. The ones that make you duck behind your computer. I saw some video this week of a soundmod, it had much better sounding crackle/whizzing sounds. IMHO the standard BIS sounds are pooped in general for allmost all of the weapons... Bit like OFP really... I would LOOOVE a proper sounding m240, or a SAW that doesnt sound like its going 392048 mph...

It would be seriously cool though, because actually for some roles ingame it would be mighty fine. Like being a sniper with m107 and having a extra m4 laying arround for when the buggers start coming close.

Going to try this right away, I wonder how it will work with 203 grenades...

OOWH HELL YEAH! The apache is much better then the original OFP Bis model... very cool news!

Maybee its also an idea to make a LARGE battle out of the paraiso battle. Fortify the whole city, and put snipers on rooftops, maybee some barbwire here and there, sandbags, bunkers, mg positions... Make fewer battles but bigger...?

I just use the mouse for driving, and for sharp corners or when parking or such I help a bit with the keyboard keys.

going to buy asap! keep it up

How about using something like a proper Anti TANK weapon for the job instead of a heatseaking anti AIRCRAFT missile... M136 or RPG will do the job when shooting somebody in the arse.
