Looks Great! You guys are going to change the default East and West units, like in update 1? If you are, then to what extent? I remember you didn't change all of those units in the last release.

Hey man, awesome work! As was written before me, detailed, beautyfull units. Hope it's not your last work.

The Merkava affair is not so suprising actually. When our current chief of staff Dan Halutz, was still the Air force commander he said in an interveiw that we should by cheaper American M1A1/A2 and use the spare money to buy more F-16's. Now he's got an excuse to do it: The Lebanon War. (Not to underestimate the Abrams, it's just cheaper to buy than to produce usually.)

Ok it's not exactly a database but all the units are listed here. IDF Tags Note: 1)Some of the tags represent reserve units, who are not in active service right now. 2)The IDF spokesperson tag is wrong and is no longer used. The military radio tag is the correct one. Hope it helps.

Hey people. Not everything depends on the type of missile. Take into account the tank types. In Lebanon we recently used Merkava mk2/3/4. The Merkvava mk2 is a vehicle from the 1980's and it can probably be penetrated by a TOW/AT-5 maybe even the AT-3. The only weapon that has penetrated the Mk4, our newest tank, is the RPG-29. However from my reading in Russian websites (www.Rusarmy.ru) this weapon has extremely low range: 100/200 meters. If true it means that the RPG-29 is harder to effectively deploy and fire. The Hizzballa do have the "advantage" of being mentally ready: fire from 100 meters and die instantly from enemy fire. Hizzballa don't care about their lives.

You might want to use Berghoff's Nature pack 4.It's in middeterenian style and the island coming with it has a pretty good terrain too. Other than that.. got to love those Hizzballa pics. And their bomb making skills in a particular picture.

Great units TB84. Good decision on those BDU vests. Gameplay wise, this can help the U.S players to better camuflage in woodland environment, while remaining true to realism with the ACU camo. The ACU itself looks good too. Anyway about that animation problem in 3d party addons: Why won't you add a HMMWV with a TOW launcher to your mod. That's probably the main reason people use 3d party HMMWVs with FFUR. You can add the BRDM AT-3 (by mecha_stalin I think) to the Russians as counter-ballance.

Hey man, maybe you'll release it standalone too? A lot of people badly miss a good AAV7 that will match the marine addons currently availibale. It seems to match pretty good on your pic.

Well another solution to the Abrams vs T-72 problem, might be to implement the T-72B model in ArmA. It has reactive armor and it can launch ATGMs from it's main gun. T-72B Picture

Someone wrote here about the Ka-50. It's one of the best combat-choppers in the world. So mabye BIS wants the U.S to have better tanks, and the NS to have the better gunship. In comparison to the AH-1 the Kamov is less stealthy but heavily armoured and even more heavily armed. If the AH-1 relies on stealth (bassicly) the KA-50 is true "assault helicopter". If BIS gives the KA-50 it's real-life weaponary (Sturm/AT-16 supersonic laser guided AT missile) it wiil prove more than a match for the M1A2.

Great work! From now these are the standart U.S SF units for me. My only isuue is that there are only tan vests. If you could update and add a woodland vest or just to make them all ACU. Because like this they are perfect for desert, but not for European islands.

Well i have the same thing with the MP5. But O.K I"ll use 3rd party addons. Thanks for the reply Captain.

Sorry if it has been posted, but I've got a problem with the silenced weapons in FFUR. I shoot with default silensed M4 that comes with FFUR. The shot is going above an enemy soldier in 100m distance and who is with his back to me. The soldier turns around, goes prone and kills me. The problem presists with east side spetsnaz too. Anyone else has this?

Or better with the RPG-29. One hit, one turret off.

Hey let's compare: In 1999 NATO had an air campgain in Kosovo during which a hospital, a market and the Chinese embbassy in Belgrade the capital of Serbia were hit. In Iraq there is violence every day. And so on.. The point is that in every conflict no matter what Israel or other countries do, civilians will die. Because even the most precise bomb has a blast radius. And if we don't use bombs than Hizzballa will fire more rockets at us and our civilians will die. We don't have much choise here. That's why we want to adress the root of the problem and that is Hizzballa. If Hizzballa stays at power this will happen all over again in a few years/months and in much more massive way. Which mean more civilians dead. We are making sure it won't happen again. Hence you have the massive air campgain.

Huge thx FFUR team! Your defenitley keeping everyone busy utnil ARMA arrives. Downloading now.

If this release will be popular, logically they might do an upgrade. I think the desert will probably be the first one, because most of todays conflicts are in the MidEast which is desert for most part. (And people want to play in those conflicts obviosly). But that's just an assumption.

Murder accurs when dealing with innocents. And any Hamas member is far from being innocent. And IMO being happy when terrorists suffer is the same as being happy when Nazis got blown to bits in WWII. Terrorists are the Nazis of today.

Well it's not the end of the world. Thaks for the fast reply Sanctuary.

Hey there. Just to remind people that we had a quiet border with Lebanon for 6 years, since Hizzballa abducted 3 soldiers in 2000. Than out of the blue, and before those Lebanese were killed, Hizzballa abductes 2 soldiers and starts a rocket attack on northern Israel. The point is that no matter what we do, there will always be somone wanting to destroy us. If it's not those 235 than it's someone else. That said, the decisive majority of the Israeli public is against TARGETING civilians and no one will justify such actions. (excluding some Israeli-Arabs who support Hamas and extreme right wingers)

A question to the DMA team. I've got a problem with the Toyota Wars unit Replacement. I've activated the Toyota Wars units replasment with ECP, and put King Homers M1A2 (V3.1) on the Lybia island. Once I got ingame I noticed that crew positions are not normal. The tanks interior seems to be above me when I'm inside. I can still aim with sights and see the tank from outside. This does not happen on the same map and tank when activated without the unit replacement (@toyotawars;@ecp). That's why I don't think the problem is with the tank. ......Suggestions?

Thanks for the quick answer Red Kite. I think I found a temporary solution for the Man 5t truck. It can be used trough "jam3 - vehicles". The driver's G36 fires like an M-16, but I guess I can always put a normal soldier inside trough the init line.

Hello people. I got back to OFP lately and was really impressed by the FFUR packs. My favorite is the European pack but I have a small problem: In the editor I don't have a truck for European forces. When I launched the 1985 campgain I saw that it supposed to be a Man 5t from BW mod. However I only have the wolf, wolf MG and Unimog (which only houses 3 passangers) in mission editor under "German - Cars".  Any help is appriciated. Also a question: Why not use the DKM's Tunguska instead of the shilka on the 2005 and Europe packs. This is what the Russians use today for Low-level air defence. Look in This official Russian site for more  info on what the Russians offer for sale (and use)
