I downloaded and installed patch 1.52 and now when I try and launch it from steam I get a securom asking for a DVD? How can I fix this, I'd love to play my new game. Chris

I am exploring the "Close Combat" multiplayer scenario. I can get into the BTR-90 and drive it but when I switched to gunner it boots me outside the vehicle after about one second. Any ideas as to why? Thanks! Chris ---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 AM ---------- Nevermind I figured it out. When I tried it as a team leader I could man the guns just fine. Oops! My apologies.

BIS has made an awesome game/sim with Arma series. I hope you guys will consider adding some penetration tables to make it even better :).

I really wish they would do this. It is the biggest flaw in this "simulator" that penetration is not even modeled.

Or any fire for that matter? Thanks, Chris

Good! Thank you.

Does the AK-74 have the same accuracy as an AKS even though for former has a longer barrel and should be more accurate? I read where someone thought that the ballistics of a shot are determined by the round fired and have nothing to do with the rifle it was fired from. I find this hard to believe as Arma 2 is supposed to be realistic. Can anyone clear this up for me? Or, for another example, is a 7.62x39mm round trajectory exactly the same no matter what it is fired from? Thanks, Chris

See, that is awesome. WTG BIS :)

Still hit points eh? Crap, that quote misled me then. Oh well, still a great sim anyways.

"Building on 10 years of constant engine development, ARMA II boasts the most realistic combat environment in the world. It models real world ballistics & round deflection, materials penetration," This led me to get really excited and think that, yes, finally, Arma will have some realistic armor fights! I lost interest in Arma 1 because of the hit point system. I immediately bought Arma 2 thinking that things had changed. Was I wrong? Or when I fire a T-72s main gun at another T-72 is there "real world ballistics & round deflection, materials penetration,"? Thanks for any info! Chris

Too bad they don't just model penetration. I wonder why they don't just put it in? Even if it takes awhile it would make the game twice as good if there was penetration modeled.

Excellent combined arms sim. Is it the Holy Grail? No, but closer than anything else. Nice work BIS.

Yep, I would say that is the biggest flaw.

The AK74SU has the same trajectory as the AK74? That is a bit lame... ---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ---------- Why go through the trouble os making the 3D models if ya can't even adjust the different ballistics?

Ah ok, that is cool. I would love some realistic penetration physics on anything armored though.
