    I HOPE aswell as penetration bullet impacts will look more realistic when hitting different materials such as buildings, tree's and metal. Not the same brown, measly, unsatisfying puff out of everything shot.

    I know its forum suicide but to heck with it anyways....

    TAKE BF2 FOR EXAMPLE smile_o.gif

    The best effects so far are in GRAW but BF2 style will do also. wink_o.gif

    For example before the Stingers the Hinds operated almost at will without any restrictions but when the Stinger came in they started to either fly either lower inside the Afghan valleys or very high altitudes which as you can imagine reduced it's offensive effectiveness since in those condition it's much harder to spot and therefore attack the enemy. So the Stingers weren't that effective in terms of shooting down enemy aircraft (Launch to Hit ratio) but they were effective in terms of reducing their offensive effectiveness and it was here that the war turned into the Afghan guerrilla favour (even because the Hind helicopter was the most important weapon system for the Russians in that war).

    It's not exactly as there were thousands stingers available and afghans just waited for choppers to show up. Other than that the majority of kills were made near airbases when choppers and planes were taking off. With introduction of some of the anti-heat seeking measures the role of stingers became even less important. Favourable for afghans ? Ok, let's say chopper is ineffective now. What about soviet shilkas ? Artillery, grad systems, tanks, etc ?! All what stinger did is to make soviets work a lot more than they should have been. But in no way it allowed mudjahineen to counter offense the soviets. Also, after soviets left in 1989 the pro-communist puppet government was able to function and be in power until 1994 when Taliban came to power.

    If they use ropes I think it's possible to jump from hind. Also, it is not unusual for chopper to fly high. For example, in Afghanistan Soviets used to fly very high in order to avoid stinger fire. All who think that stingers changed the war during Soviet invasion are fools. As soon as stingers were introduced Soviets changed their flying tactics, thats all.

    I would recommend to get barebones. You can save a lot of money by using your old stuff in new computer. I got my comp, A8N-SLI Deluxe, AMD 4000, 7800GT, 550W PS, 2GB ram for $1000. Plugged my old drives, mouse, keyboard, and now I have brand new comp...kinda of.
