You're kidding, right? They actually included the little bump sites on the top of an ACOG for use? In case you've never used one, they're impossible to use. You're better off learning the BAC or just pointing and shooting at close range. Some guys use a little Dr. Optic on the top, and while that is hard to use, it works about ten times better than the ACOG BUIS.

I did try and search for an answer. I have a unit randomly placed in Northern Sahrani, with a radius of several thousand meters. Since his spawn location is randomized, how do I get the opposing AI to search the area for him? I tried putting a Su34 on the map with a seek and destroy waypoint placed directly on the unit (a West unit), but it appears that the Su34 will only search a limited area within the center of the western unit's radius of possible spawning.

I'm curious how far the RHIB can go without re-fueling. Can it start on the far side of Rahmadi, then circle Sahrani and return to where it started? That must be 40 or 50 miles (or whatever, I can't tell and don't care to figure it).

Nope, I just want to know how far it will go. I'm putting together a mission for some more hard-core folks who probably would choose an 30 minute insertion by boat over a 3 minute insertion by helicopter if it meant giving them surprise. I'll try it out tonight and let you guys know how far it goes.

Just make each magazine hold 999 rocks, and make the ROF like 14 rounds per minute.

Rofl, they must have JB Welded them on there

This is one of the things they should have added. A range of kits to pick up (separate from the gear screen) that would facilitate diving or swimming. SCUBA, re breather, etc. It would make over the beach operations possible. The other thing I think should have been added was a pack system. Again, separate from carrying your rifle, AT kit and pistol, and all the stuff already on the gear screen, actually making packs useful for carrying things would have been nice. For example, they could have made a GUI for your pack similar to the gear screen. Different rucksacks, 3-day packs, assault packs, medical kit packs, etc. could have been included.

I know you cannot model them currently and put them in game without the SDK tools... but I didn't think he was talking about just another rinkydink re-skin.

Why would you have them wearing skateboard helmets? Newer generation combat helmets are lighter and provide the same contact protection, while keeping the ballistic protection. Not to say there is no place for the skateboard helmets, but they seem to be used quite a bit less nowadays. Please, don't take BIS' lead and make all SOF with skateboard helmets, that is pure lunacy.

Hey, That picture of the "navy seal" that died in rahmadi is fake. The picture of them with acu is a bunch of bogus. i asked my uncle "do you wear acu?" and he said "nah, we just wear woodland/desert bdu, olive drab, diving uniform/black" ... so yeah. It's a fake? I really don't think so, considering that isn't the ONLY time i've seen pictures of them wearing ACUs... What exactly makes your uncle the end-all, be-all knowledge resource of Navy Special Warfare?

Just make them in the most common. I've seen pictures of NSW in ACU, Woodland, DCU 3 color, and solid nomex jumpsuits. That would make me happy. Make them all!

Can't tell about the mount, but that does not look like a S&B Short Dot. The parallax correction turret at the rear of the body gives it away. I don't ever remember S&B's having those.

So, who would support my idea for a mission? Anyone remember the little included mission with the BAS KLR bikes in OFP? The little race through the mountains and stuff? Well, I want to take that idea and run with it- across the entire North and South. I want to make a Baja-esque land race with several classes, such as the off-road pickups, military vehicles, etc. My plan of attack is this. Everyone will start at a place on the map, probably a small town. The next checkpoint will be somewhere on the map, requiring use of both road and off-road driving skills to arrive. Of course, being ArmA, there will be limitless possibilities as to how you make your way from point A to point B. I want to keep the checkpoints fairly drawn out, so there is more of an incentive for a team in a vehicle to map out their own route and navigate it. Who would like to see this happen? I ask because my scripting skills are quite unrefined, and I would need support from the community to add a timing/scoring system, and other various features. Any takers?

Regardless, the way the Insurgency team modeled it is still wrong compared to the way you actually view it with two eyes open.

Wow I wonder how you guys know what they wear. I am impressed, you must have a contact person inside Delta Force Actually, smart ass, while at the Q course @ bragg, a few instructors were D boys, or whatever you'd like to call them. The SOF community as a whole various a lot, so far as what gear they wear goes. It's all mission-dependant. Delta force isn't meant to be used for such things as would occur on sahari(sp). They are the US version of the SAS, and focus on other things. SF teach, etc, while rangers are for seizure of airfields. If you'd like to argue, raise your right hand, swear an oath, and go to fort benning, and so on, then you will have a valid arguement. That just goes to show that maybe I'm not the biggest asshole on this forum, afterall. Oh really? What kind of things happen of Sahrani or whatever you call it? Are you up to date with the various skill sets trained or the operational tempo over the past 10 years of SFOD-D? You're drifting out of your lane, I think.

You don't actually see the tunnel of the optic like that if you were actually looking through the optic...

As long as that is true, JAM can never be realistically modelled after real-life interactions between the ammo and firearm. ArmA should have incorporated these features into the game, realistically, in the first place.

Gene is going to be pissed you modeled his Denali rig...

Yeah, it will catch on fire as soon as it mixes with air. Putting a bullet hole into the side of a full gas tank isn't going to do anything but let the gas leak out. It might catch fire as it is spilling out, but you cannot burn liquid gasoline so it won't spread into the tank unless there is empty space for it to mix with air and vaporize.

There were two HUGE flaws with JAM that I hope will be fixed in ArmA. First of all, you can't take a G3 magazine and fit it in a FAL. Or take a FAL metric magazine and use it in an imperial receiver, even though they are both capable of firing 7.62x51. I hated that. The second is, all the values for each round are the same regardless of what they are fired out of. I could take a STANAG in JAM and fire rounds out of an 11" carbine and then use the same magazine and load it into an 20" M16A2, and the values stay the same. This is not the case in real life. There are so many variables (barrel length, rifling, twist rate, etc.) that contribute to the actual physics of the projectile.

You can shoot a full gas tank with all the tracers you want, it won't explode. The fuel needs to vaporize and mix with oxygen in order to burn. An explosion would happen with pressurization, for example, if the tank was filled with only a little gas that would turn to vapor and mix with available oxygen. The tank would contain the rapid pressure buildup caused by the combustion until eventually it would rupture/explode. Hollywood is not real life.
