    Yeah, I´ve noticed long ago that you can´t destroy churches. You can destroy family dwellings and shoot unarmed women, but apparently churches are a no-go.

    Bis bmp's vs new bmp's

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (theavonlady @ Feb. 21 2003,11:54)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Besides, now that BIS has admitted to the little booboo, I hope they'll update the BMP in the near future. Shouldn't take much to do.<span id='postcolor'> I don´t think it´s BIS "policy" to update their old models, they haven´t done it to the T-72 or ANY other vehicles or weapons. All of the equipment in OFP is inaccurate in one way or another, to be honest. That´s why I voted "yes", since I love addons that improve the realism of old, basic OFP stuff. Say BIS did update the BMP, it would still have a generic "mgun" etc. And they would have to update everything else while they´re at it I have always used AaronAsh´s -R BMP-1 in my missions.

    A question to bas addon studio

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote (#### @ Feb. 19 2003,18:26)</td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Making east addons is not really needed since these are modern U.S units, not units that are fighting in a good olde cold war senerio. The majority of conflicts that deltas and rangers fight in are against irregular troops that are illequiped. Rangers could fight against modern conventional armies but lack the mechanized punch of afv's to back them up. If anyone was interested in making Somali gunmen just take some civvie skins and give them AK's, then do a set face texture for the black guys.<span id='postcolor'> Eh? Who says they have to have anything to do with Deltas or Rangers? Not EVERYONE plays with East units as enemies, you know. Chechnya etc. I don´t think Rangers or Deltas are involved in a conflict like that. But I understand why they wouldn´t make east addons, BAS is primarily an American team and the Russians can make their own units well, as we have seen many times.

    Stalingrad

    If I remember correctly, 75% of Germany´s forces were on the Eastern Front during the Allied invasion from the west. And the Red Tide still swept them away. The Americans liberated Europe by stopping the Soviet Union at Berlin, but they certainly didn´t defeat Germany. Of course, I´m not belittling the sacrifices of Americans, Canadians, British and others. But if we´re talking sacrifice, look at Stalingrad. But ordinary people get their info about stuff like this from Hollywood.

    Sheesh, there´s a thread right under this one that says "40 dead in Zimbabwe train crash" but there isn´t even a second page of posts there. Who cares about Zimbabweans, right?

    Bmd3 beta 0.8

    Aah, I´ve said it before and I´ll say it again: AKM74 0wNz j00! I just love this addon, even though it´s beta! The interior textures are detailed and dirty, looks completely real. Suggestions: 1. Call the weapons by their real, full names. 2A72 30 mm APSFDS (or just AP) AG-17 + type of grenades, don´t remember right now PKT 7.62 mm AT-6(?) Konkurs M ATGM Correct me if I´m wrong. 2. Troops could sit on the roof once the inside is full, but I really don´t know if troops actually do this with BMDs. 3. That pin in front of the driver is going crazy! But great work, as usual! Beats BIS any day Now, if I only had some Russian Airborne to sit inside it... *subtly looks over to AKM74*

    Finnish defence forces

    Yep, study the DKM mod´s RAH-66 Comanche helicopter, it has a missile warning system, advanced HUD and some other stuff that don´t matter for fixed-wing planes. The G8 mod´s Tornado 1.1 has and automatic flare system that actually works! But what am I supposed to do with an Italian fighter plane?

    Roc mod 2.0 released

    Wow, nice and well done addon. There are a lot of retextures of OFP and unofficial units, but they´re all very high quality I want: 1. Terrain 2. Faces 3. Fixed PLA textures 4. Fixed blood textures (ketchup!?) 5. A campaign where I can understand the briefings 6. Real PLA vehicles

    Chopper camo?

    Most wanted choppers

    Ka-60 "Kasatka" (I just love saying that, don´t you? ) Mi-24 "Hind" with 12.7mm gun and retractable gear Mi-28 "Havoc" (the chopper´s sensor "nose" looks ridiculous IMO, but it´s got firepower! ) Ka-50/Ka-52 Mi-17 with 2 less rocket pods (for balance) and one with a door machine gun. You just can´t make any modern Russian SF missions without the Kasatka....aah, Kasatka....

    Rah-66 comanche released

    The other DKM choppers have downwash, the Comanche doesn´t. 2700 benchmark. IMHO.... This is a very cool addon, the cockpit, landing gear, deathspin, computer voice and bay are all extremely nice. I especially like the way the AI uses the bay and gear! But aside from the scripts, the helicopter is slightly...mediocre. The model is good, but it could be better. The textures are toylike and clean and the model is a bit simple. (yeah yeah, I know that the real RAH-66 is pretty flat too) It could be smoother around the edges, and the...thing that the rotors are attached to spins out of sync with the rotors. Shouldn´t it have dark green camo? And the 20mm is overpowered and sounds totally wimpy Why does the smoke from the 20mm fall towards the ground even though I´m hovering? Bugs: 1. Sometimes I can see myself on my own radar. Only in 3rd person view. 2. When I change from laser designator to cannon, the laser is still on with the same crosshair and everything. I can still fire the cannon, but my A-10 bomber squadmate drops his payload on trees if I accidentally point my crosshair at them. But I really want that downwash, why do the other DKM choppers work and not this one!? But overall, a great addon that incorporates a lot of revolutionary and cool stuff! Keep up the good work!

    How the apache works

Ka 52 Hokum - Now thats the best attack chopper around.  Designed to take down other attack helicoptors, dual rotor system, and ejector seats! The Apache is a nice chopper, but they are terrible to maintain in the field. If you forward deploy the bastards, they fall apart without loving care!<span id='postcolor'> Right on! The Apache is ONE of the most lethal helicopters in the world. Even the Mi-24 Hind E has a comparable amount of firepower to the AH-64D, plus it has massive armor and a cargo hold. Not as advanced imaging systems and overall electronics, tough. Technically, the not-yet-fielded RAH-66 Comanche scout/light attack chopper is the most advanced helicopter around, but the Apache is a heavy attack chopper that has more firepower. And the Ka-52 has twin rotors and ejector seats. So there´s no clear winner

    Lav's

    Yeah, and the real LAV-III Stryker can´t fire while moving, has cramped infantry spaces, easily punctured tyres, poor off-road mobility, requires constant maintenance, can´t be effectively air-transported or dropped, costs a bundle etc. etc. Nice for cruising along roads in slow peacekeeping missions, but I wouldn´t be caught dead in one of ´em in a combat situation. Or actually, I probably would be dead in one of them if I got into some real combat. http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/2116/ No flame, honest!

I would however like BIS to correct some inaccuracies though: -change Mi24 30mm cannon to 12.7mm rapid-fire machine gun with 1400 rounds, higher ROF, new sounds -increace Vulcan ROF... i can't believe BIS actually made it slower than Shilka's!, new sounds -change AH1 30mm cannon to M179 20mm cannon with 750 rounds, higher ROF, new sounds -change A10 30mm cannon to GAU-8 with 1100 rounds, higher ROF. WAAAY more damage, new sounds -change SU25 30mm cannon to GSh-30-2 two-barrel cannon with 250 rounds, new sounds -a russian 12.7mm machine gun to replace the "east m2", new sounds -reduce M2HB ammo from 500 to 100, but add several mags -make a proper BMP-2 model. This one is just a BMB-1 model with a new cannon and missile launcher -Replace the OT-65 posing as a BRDM-2 with a proper BRDM-2 model with 14.5mm and 7.62mm machine gun armaments ...possibly a "Sagger" ATGM version too. -make a proper T-72 model, although one has been made by sigma -make a proper T-80 model and have it fire ATGMs altho also been made by sigma -include a "Return Fire" -command in the command interface. -Change pilot's equipment to merely a pistol, mags, flares smokes and NV -Remove grenades from crews -let grenadiers carry more 40mm grenades. -30mm russian grenades shouldn't fit in a nato 40mm grenade launcher! -remove "Burst" from all Kalashnikov rifles -make the 12.7mm machine gun useful on the Mi-17 chin -make AT-soldiers carry more AT-rounds and LAW soldiers less LAWs -have Apaches carry Stingers and if possible, have the rocket pods tilt up/down.
