    No terrain changes are planned.

    Both the Do 28 D-2 and L-410 UVP are STOL capable aircraft and can take off using 500m of any cleared surface. The roads and fields are perfectly suitable for this. Where there are power poles on the side, you can either clear them in the editor using the "Hide Object" module or give players a task to clear them away with the right engineering equipment (either flatten them with a truck/tank or apply explosive charges.) The highway is wide enough to comfortably accommodate either aircraft.

    So far I have not had troubles landing these birds in the countryside and taking off again. That was exactly their design purpose and why they are still today popular with emergency relief organizations.


    Regarding the terrain:
    We did indeed choose to keep the terrain as historically accurate as possible. Two reasons led us to make this decision:

    - The Inner German Border has never been accurately depicted in any game before.

    - We do not miss airports/runways, since the aircraft that would require them are - in our opinion - misplaced in Arma, since the game does not provide the necessary scale to give them meaningful purpose.

     

    The nearest West German jets that would reach Weferlingen at that time were F-104G. These were stationed just 8 minutes travel time away in the West. At Mach 2 (which they were capable of) it would take them 29.85 seconds to cross the map entirely from west to east. The trusty old prop planes here zoom along at about 300km/h. 🙂

    Regarding other military installations:
    Mariental-Horst was in fact an Airfield, but only in WW2 and afterwards disbanded early on. The remaining military structures there were then converted into public housing.

    There is a small installation south of Volkmarsdorf that was occupied by the mobile early warning system of the Luftwaffe, and a listening post at Bahrdorf that was at the time operated by the French.

    Further, the Bundeswehr was prohibited from approaching the border any closer than 5km. (Some sources claim 3km, but my source who served with the West German Bundesgrenzschutz said it was 5km). The closest combat unit to that area was stationed in Braunschweig at the time, some 30 kilometres West of Weferlingen.

     

    I hope this provides some context and insight into the route and decisions we took.

    Heya, I've done a quick test:
    Firing KBA 25mm APDS-T at a sideways parked BMP-1 at 550m.

    It took 15 rounds (aimed at the center of the vehicle) to force the crew to eject. Shortly after the BMP-1 exploded from an internal fire in the ammo compartment, wrecking the entire vehicle.
    Same result after 11 rounds at 375m. A bit of randomness factors into this, so I'd have to up the sample size by an order of magnitude at least to have some average values to report. But in no cases did the BMP-1 fail to be destroyed after just a few rounds on target.

    Can you describe the situation and setup where you encountered a BMP-1 that survives 25mm hits? This would help us taking a closer look at what could possibly be happening.

    The GM 1.1 Update is now released!
    Find the full change log here.

    We have also prepared a dedicated game server where a GM specific CTI (Capture The Island) mission runs 24/7. It's a quick and easy way to get into some MP action with GM assets, and your progress and gear is saved between sessions until the mission is completed.

    Indeed, our research indicated that the PSO-1 is only compatible with the SVD mount. Accordingly it is in GM not possible for it to be mounted on the AKMN/KM-72. We did introduce the ZFK-4x25, which is made for the AK-74N.

    Regarding the RPK: It was very easy for us to provide an RPK with a wooden furniture, so we did. You will notice that in the Polish squad templates (Groups) that none of them come equipped with a RPK to correctly represent their equipment of the time.

    Heya, thanks for the feedback:

    1. Can you be more precise? The uniforms do carry rank patches on the shoulders for all combat suits.
    2. That could be a very easy fix.
    3. There are versions of the M56 with and without net in the arsenal available. There is no gameplay feature that lets you change this other than changing helmets entirely.
    4. Deliberately done since the snorkel would deform very badly during any sort of character movement, especially when prone.
    5. We're saving the Chemical Suits for a future update to both sides of the Bloc.
    6. There is a Seitengewehr attached to the belt. Maybe you mean something more specific here?
    7. Thats again a deliberate choice. We'd rather have the backpacks available than not. You can, as player, of course leave the backpacks back in the vehicles before disembarking, or equip the AI accordingly.
    8. Yes? Whats the issue to be precise? No default units from GM are issued with the Drum Mag other than the RPK Gunner.

    Heya Formtapez!

    Once the AWOL is triggered, this ends the campaign.
    I think the problem lies somewhere else: In order to redo the mission, you'll have to use the "Revert" button to set the Campaign's progress back to before that mission. Currently it thinks that mission was completed with the AWOL ending, and thus terminates fully. The "Replay" button simply replays the mission without changing the outcome of the campaign's next step.

     

    So I suspect you're attempting to fix the outcome of the campaign by using the Replay button. Try using the Revert button instead.
