The good thing about being Russian is when doing nothing they repair themselves, the Iraqi and US units need a repair vehical. Russian structures also repair themselves. The SCUD is just great! BIG mushroom! Would having the BTR 60 in OFP matter to anyone? Same as BMP I suppose. Its good in WW3, amphibious like BMP. Shlika goes throught water as well.

Nice pic b.t.w. drewb99 <span id='postcolor'> Actually it could be something to do with drinking alcohol as well. But I'm not nuts about it I just have no life. Don't mind me.

About the alien abductions no I suppose not. There are other signs. Just like to keep an open mind about most things. But the dreams about my legs like that might be as you say... my lifes going nowhere and its my own doing. The US Government and UFOs? I won't go there. But hell some of my dreams make no sence! I had another one recently! Remembered it when I woke but now I forget it. But from what I remember it ended with someone looking like Marge Simpson sucking blood up this straw! (at least thats what I feel it was) HAHAHA and it seemed a little pyhcotic! Like she couldn't get enough of it (was getting enough tho). I'm smiling as I write this because I can't believe I'm saying it it seems so bloody stupid! I wish I remember the rest of it! I rarely dream but when I do its messed up! What mine are like is theres something going on and then something will happen out of sync. Like one of them dreams your after someone then a cartoon figure shows up (like Marge) or some shit like that. I can't for the life of me remember what the HELL I was doing before THAT happened!

Much more often did I find myself micro-managing individual units making sure they're attacking the enemy army instead of their harmless walls/buildings.<span id='postcolor'> World War 3: Black Gold does something similar to this. Each unit needs rearming. Choppers do it automatically so you don't worry about that, as long as theres choppers and a supply depot. You also get more control over your units too, like giving them orders to fall back when damaged or out of ammo, or fight to death. Also order them to hold fast, stay in the immediate area or give chase, fire at will, hold fire or return fire. Situtation is realistic too. OIL. Everyone wants it. Americans might not like it because the Iraqi missions involve terrorist activities in USA. But the fight is for oil. Its an ok game got T80s, Shilkas, Abrams and other real weapons in it, can be American, Russian or Iraqi. Good how units are brought onto the field by chopper and transport plane. Without oil you have no money to build, so thats not easy like having unlimited money or whatever, but its good.

That's priceless... Â Â Â <span id='postcolor'> Yeah little grey (some of them tall) stick humanoids with big heads and large black eyes, emotionless, telepathic. Flies Type 2 ship with an SEG drive(I think its called) for light speed. Type 2 like an Oero cookie but when active creates white magnetic (right word?) energy looking like a bright oval light flying throught the sky. Type 3 craft are triangular shaped with a big light in each corner on the under side of the craft. Air strip kind of lighting effect down the middle of it on underside as well. Many other types but all are similar used by different subspiecies. Unstable legs: Due to the speed of the craft that the human on this planet is not used to. Causes dizzyness and disorientation. Loss of time: half hour to many hours unacountered for. "Guess where I was today..." Implants: Small device inplanted into the body in different places, chest, head. Most likely reason: research, tracking. Causes pain when active. Here you go, some more "priceless" information for you Off topic and probably a bit odd for all of you but who cares, its in the off topic section and it a free for all forum.

But still any nuclear weapon that is used will damage the environment and live in the future in that area will be affected. Take Hirojshima for example. I am not sure about this but the effects there are probably still felt through illness (said I am not sure but I read it somewhere ages ago forget where) from the bomb. After the explosion the whole area is contaminated for a LONG time so saying it won't affect the world as a whole is not really good. Having ANY part of this planet exposed to nuclear chemical and biological weapons is a big no no, no matter how small they are. While I do not concern myself with this (it matters not to me) most other people would. Personally I am not worried about nuclear attack. Its not suicide or anything like that but what is the point in worrying about something you have no control over? Well this is for me anyway I am not trying to dictate to others.

I tried putting Red Alerts Hellmarch in OFP and it makes the right mood for a tank rush through enemy positions destroying them as you go. Well that music makes the right mood for me but I know everyone is different. For me its good tank battle music. I also put the full Soviet Anthem in and had it blaring out loud as I in a Russian attack on rebals with infantry and Russian T55Gs verse the same units on the rebal side. Sounded good while destroying the enemy. Makes it patriotic I guess but it made the mission good.

It is easy to put MP3s into FP just need to convert the files using something like WaveGate I think it is called or some converting tool, then use the tools on the Editing Center web page to extract the Music.org and replace the music with your own whatever rock you want making sure to call it after the file you replaced then using another tool to stuff it back into the music.org file and run OFP and enjoy your Heavy Metal or whatever you like. Its all on AvonLadys web site I think, how to do it all.

I have 1.46 but I can not remember what happened in 1.30 (the version I bought) but in M1 Tank Platoon 2 using SABOTs to take out choppers was always the way to go provided the chopper was not moving or you were a good gunner. But not shooting choppers because they fly to fast is a bit off I think for the M1 (in the game anyway). The Abrams attacks the SU25 and almost always takes it out just like a Vulcan or Shilka. But it left choppers alone until realism patch found its way into my addons folder. Altho I have not used alot of the units like the choppers, only the Russian ones. I tried the Kiowa once and that was it. Like the Cobra but never use it so I that might explain why I have not seen this.

How about making it so the tanks take less hits to the rear? Could not that be done in the config file? That real Abrams still takes 4 hits to all sides and some said before that one SABOT could do it real damage when hit right in its rear. From what I have read and heard the M1 in the rear is nowhere as strong as it is in the front. Even an RPG could damage it, aimed well enough. I would not know about the crew would they suffer more injury from a rear hit too? Ammo and engine all there.

I was playing Search and Destroy with the method of piloting the two cobras and taking the place out that way, and it seems like T-80s (i'm sure Abrams too) have a little bit too good of AA capability for what kind of unit they are. Maybe i'm wrong, and of course you can always just get better at being a pilot and taking them out before they can. Â <span id='postcolor'> Its great when you can defend yourself But before the realism download the Abrams only attacked the Su25s and that was it. Never seen a T80 taking on Shilka duties.

I downloaded the Armor Realism pack and set 3 M1 platoons vs 4 T80 plattons and I was in a group of 3 Hinds. Far from map (desert island) as soon as mission started the Abrams left the T80s alone and all fired their guns at us in the air. Now the AA from these tanks was way worse than its EVER been in FP. The Abrams would shoot at an SU25 but not choppers. Just a hail of lead like a welcoming from Vulcans but they shooting at us left the T80s to finish them off. A few times a few of us were shot down, there were 3 platoons of the bastards aiming at us!

Altho it is not realistic it still makes the mood better, I guess. I probably will try it with music off but I only really mess around in the editor recently. Music is ok in tank battles (slow blades mostly for some reason) but sometimes I leave music out of it. Voted yes, of course it is obvious I do listen to music in OFP.

Like most people I'm sure have dreams of stuff they did in the day or something they saw or thought about, but mine would come out of nowhere and make no sense. Like what I said about that Zulu guy altho that was years ago when I was a kid. I heard somewhere that dreams where you can't walk right or with unstable legs in my case (not disabled in real life) has something to do with alien abductions but I wouldn't know. Just heard.

Thats what my dreams are like when I have them. HAHAHA when I was a little kid I watched Zulu Dawn and went to sleep and I had a dream where this stupid Zulu tried to stab me with a RULER!!

I rarely dream at all but I remember one dream I had a while ago about OFP. I was the gunner in a T80 facing an M1. Now I don't remember what happened but in my dreams when its time to die I don't. Or the vehical I'm in does not explode. I'v had dreams where I'm shot and god knows what else happens but it never hurts. I remember having this dream, just not remembering most of it.

I'll just copy and paste what I had before. "Don't know if anyone else has done this but I just go to the User folder and go into my folder in it and open the userinfo file with notepad and go down to where it says Speaker="[name]" and changed the name to any of these names... Aleksei Andrei Boris Georgiy Ivan Nikolai Oleg Ruslan Sergey Vadim Vitaliy Vladimir I'v only tried Ivan but I'm sure the rest would work (only just done this). I know the names because I extracted the VoiceRH.pbo for the russian voices and they were all there. Just an attempt to make the game more realistic Russians sounding Russian There was another way that someone had on an editing page but certain words were not used so you would get "1: 9 o'clock enemy ....... ....." "1: target .......... ......." but with this way all the words are here like in Red Hammer. The voices also don't work if you go to edit your character like voice pitch at least for me it didn't and you'd have to go retype the name in." The names all work I tried them all now.
