Hardliner

The Hind ain't too bad at extemely low hieght. I did test it out on desert island and the missiles actually work while just above the ground. Maybe the missiles are like this in real world? Maybe there is no bug that needs to be fixed maybe just needs practice and a good pilot. The M1s I targeted didn't need many rockets to destroy them either or so it seemed. While yes I did this on desert island the other islands I know are not as flat but maybe just requires practice and positioning the Hind right. Maybe when I get a system together that will not make the game so slow and jerky I would be a true tank killer it does not help when screen is jerky all the time. Puts aiming off.

Yeah the auto feature is a good thing to have in certain situations. The Spetz Natz Bizon weapon is better than the AK in a way as it has twice the ammo in one clip plus its silanced

Yes it is good for a change to be another nationality. I like being Russian in any game that will allow me to be Russian, World War 3: Black Gold does. Can even be Iraqi which is what I wanted in a game for a long time, they fight well. Plus its great to be Russian and have one of them Russian voices that uses bad English or sounds like it does.

I feel like a fool. Missiles work at long range I am always too close. No wonder the missiles never hit. I know how it works now. Anyway getting nice and close to an Abrams and seeing and hearing it explode as a result of the rockets is just too good to pass up

Yes I have already figured out that missiles thing. The american missiles seem to just be able to be fired and hit probablity is high where as the Hind requires greater skill I guess or as you say range. Also I only said it was a bug because others said it was, I didn't know until tonight. Them missiles are ok right up close if you fire at the right moment, I'm talking real close. Their pretty good at extreme low hieght too. Yep that was my problem too close. Still right up close and low does get a hit at times.

We had a cat its name was Gizmo. This was a tabby but the name suited it well. Acted like a gremlin at times but its probably not suitable for a persian.

There is never any report, like "12 a clock T80, 500".<span id='postcolor'> This is a problem. Maybe it is something to do with lock on? This is why I like the HIP better than the Hind because rockets don't need a lock on manual fire. The Hind missiles are pretty useless anyway. One time I was in a Hind and fired the missiles at a M1 in a platoon (I was to the platoons right they were in line formation) the missiles flew right over the target tank and hit and destroyed the tank beyond it. Even when aiming carefully the missiles always fly over the target. I would like to see this fixed if the missiles in real life are accurate or if its just me hopeless with the missiles please do tell me.

I don't care for rebal bitches. I did download some rebal terrorists and other rebal addons and that might be ok (ain't tried them all yet) but I like being Russian anyway. Or Iraqi or VietCong with the right addons

I doubt I'll ever get a girlfriend anyway. If I lived alone I'd do it myself.

I hate it when the pages mess up and end up posting twice.

I don't know if the Hinds missiles are as inaccurate in real life as they are in OFP but I would rather see improvments to things such as this rather than another target altho yeah it DOES mean another target. Maybe thats a good thing. The Huey for download on the editing centre page explodes very easy and has a large area of effect when detinated. Great when theres 5 other Hueys near it and they all go bang. Bit jerky for my current system tho. If I knew how to edit FP that much I'd try and fix the bugs myself. Guess theres only one way to learn.

I don't seem to have much trouble with AI all that much in infantry. Mostly because I am one of them grunts that does not always follow orders (well most of the time I do if i can see the target the officer has given me) but in tank missions THATS where I get it tough. No matter what position I am the AI messes the tank up. If I'm commander the driver drives all over the place and the gunner aims the turret to the rear when "no target" is given so when you target a tank in front of you it takes a while to swing the turret around to shoot. Being driver is fine except the commander targets troops with Sabots while enemy tanks are right in front of you, plus the gunner is swinging the turret everywhere. Being gunner is fine but again the driver goes everywhere but where he is suppost to. But infantry seem to be alright for me even with me as commander. Maybe they respect me.

I never dream

I don't run OFP that much. I stopped playing the campaign and haven't gone back since really. I'v hardly run the campaign. Maybe I will play it more when I get this computer fixed up (which should be VERY soon thanks to a friend, I have the 900MHz CPU here just need the right borad for it) this computer gets pretty slow at times. I'v downloaded ALOT of addons like islands and better T80s and SAMs and many others. I ran OFP to try these addons out and got bored with it real fast. I fix that boredom by going back to old games. Altho its not complete boredom as I always go back to OFP. But these addons are still great.

I see that many people do hate certain other people and things but in the end hate consumes everything. I know I have said things that many don't agree with or like but right now I am at the point where I hate nothing anymore. When I used to hate someone or something I would feel sick and often make myself sick thinking about it. In the end hate solves nothing but I see that many would say that doing nothing would solve nothing either. Sure certain governments do things and I have my own opinions about things but hating them and thinking about it all the time is just not right for me anyway. Besides I don't have to hate anyone because there are many out there that can do it for me. Hate, anger, fear and deception all lead to darkness. Did I just type all that?

At last I can be a Russian soldier or a tank commander and actually sound the part! For missions I make and single missions and importantly for upcoming LAN games. All I had to do was edit the userinfo in the User folder. I suppose many of you would have known about this but I'm just happy I can actually sound like a Russian (well use the Russian accents provided) when I am a Russian soldier instead of having an American voice. I no longer sound like an evil capitalist I'm joking here its ok! I'm not starting a flame thing here! I liked having my high pitched American voice before, will probably still use it for western missions. I'm just happy. But if any of you disaprove of it I'll gladly remove it. Sorry if I posted in the wrong area or the topic seems irrelivent or everyone already knows about this.

I suppose many will attack me but law is hopeless really. It protects the guilty and the innocent seem to loose. The law can be very stupid and pointless at times.
