that looks very good, keep it up :D

Thats the thing SR, nations can use the F-15E because it is a good plane, they dont need to waste millions more on an unproven plane. The fact that Rock has WORKED in the industry gives him far more credability than your lines. You forget that even the F-22 has been shot down in mock dogfights, by a french plane (how ironic) and a F-18F. So that goes to show the money ISN'T worth investing. It's a plane made to show off and intimedate, anyone with any brains will go "whatever" and no be concerned. EA-18G Growler shoots down F-22

not to mention that the digital electronics inside the aircraft and the airframe are 2 different things. The F-15SE is the F-15 with basically the F-22 electronics built into it. Also remember the F-22 and F-35 has no room for updates, so while the F-15 will continue to get newer and newer tech built into it the F-22 and F-35 are stuck with their stock hardware, not very future friendly :p

He's refering to useing land based aircraft to defend australia, which is a very valid and 1 of our major points of our defence, a ship takes far longer to go from Syd to Darwin than a plane does.

If you read what I said in the first place I didnt say passive I said IR Pointer, as in a FLIR pointing a laser at a target for a paveway, that does give off a signiture. Yes there are passive systems (which I did mention), but I was refering to the main GBU in use (the Paveway II) which requires a laser pointer. Thankyou rock for pointing out the other flaws in his argument, I cant be bothered lol :rolleyes:

thats rather tough way of putting it. reality is guys that OFP is old and getting older, either update to ArmA (which has alot of the bugs fixed, or improved so its not so bad) or wait for ArmAII/OFP2. That or as suggested download mods, there really isnt much else that can be done.

that would be more the pilots than aircraft, they practise more and are putting the extra effort, also means that chances are higher of a big stuffup that will kill people, their showing off :p If you really look at the F-22 & F-35's capabilities there are limitations to them that really bring in question as to weather they are worth the cost compared to say a F-15E or F-15 SE (for the F-22) or F16 Block II or F-18E/F (for the F-35A) While the 5th generation planes have stealth, that is requireing them to have 0 outboard hardpoint, thus reducing their payload to approx 2 500 or 1000/lb bombs and 2 AA missiles and no extra fuel tanks. Now that gives them a large range limitation and low combat capability. Compare that with the F-15 E which can carry approx 12 bombs (depending on weight and type) and is more than combat proven. The F-16 again has the upper hand of carrying capability over the F35 and can still keep up with the SU-30's (some say the F-35 wouldnt be able to keep up with a SU-30 in a dogfight, however thats speculation for now) Now before you say the F-22 and F-35 have stealth etc, yes they have far better 'stealth' capabilities but they are not 100% stealth, and the way they are stealth is by having 0 targeting radar, which is why the F-22 is using JDAM's and not LGB's. The moment you put an IR pointer on the plane the stealth disapears, its like turning a flash light on in a dark room, you might as well scream out shoot me. So with that you either must break the stealth (thus voiding the point of the millions spent on the plane) or limit the plane to JDAM's and other passive weapon systems which than limits its capabilites (once again, not cost effective). The F-15E can defend itself and with jamer aircraft and AWAC's it can do a far better job the the F-22 ever will, the F-15 E is the workforce of the USAF, the F-22 is just the US saying "we have the best aircraft, and no-one can have it" when the other countries are going "whatever, its not worth it", hence the vast drop of F-35 orders. TBH I wish the ADF grew some balls and told the gov to get what needs to be bought, if we had F-15 E or SE's not only could we defend outselves (for once) but the RAAF could actually be deployed for a useful purpose, other than just to look good :rolleyes: Also for the F-35 C (either B or C, cant recall which is which), the VTOL one, it's the only F-35 with any real use and as already stated its still outproformed by the aircraft its meant to 'replace', so I don't see it going far either. If you disagree fine, but instead of rambling on find some facts and post them.

Have a look at the new site, and some pics of units ingame http://adfmod.ifastnet.com

Thats fine mate, I'm in the same boat Thanks

I suspected it was the airforce that got them

The US Navy dropped their version, so it was either the US airforce or army that took it up, and later ADF grabbed some also

Hey Sigma I've emailed and PMed you about using some of the vehicles but have yet to get a reply, so I'm using a more direct way lol. Have you received any of my msg's? Rico

Just clarifying so people don't start going "we want RAAF ones" lol The RAAF one are for ADF mod and will be released with the next mod release, so be patient for those that want the RAAF ones Thought I would just clear that up Rico

Yes thats the red waterline around the bottom areas of the hull   Great work Crash, keep up the good work guys Â

And it's this sort of attitude that has helped to kill the community  , the guy said that he liked CWC games and was asking if the AI were meant to be that way. Generally their not that hard, the only times u should die is when they 'cheat' (eg shoot though a tree trunk or my favorite is when they poke their gun through the wall and cap ya (u cant do shite lol  )) But mostly it's easily beatable and scripts make them better so just play play play and you'll get use to it mate Â

Well I kinda added to it (it actually reminded me about a question I had, so might as well add it here). Also are cars physics going to be fixed (which he did ask, refering to the controlls)?

I think his point is does BIS intend on improving civilian vehicles/civilians (especially with diversity of vehicles, where the ambulance and firetruck etc), which I must agree to that question

I've been watching the news on ArmA II, and to be frank I'm not seeing anything that compells me to get it Yes its got civies, yes it looks nice, and yes its got some nice command abilities. However, where is shooting from vehicles, fastroping, slinging loads and towing trailers I dont get why the features that OFP community has been yelling for years hasn't been included/shown off, especially since we know for a fact that the engine can do them So in my opinion, unless these features are included I see no reason to even look at ArmA II, I was wondering how many other people thing that atleast those 4 things are a priority? Thankyou, Rico P.S. Don't get me wrong I do like what I see, but it's still missing things that I deem essential

I'm going to be making a recovery vehicle for the ADF mod, finally when my lav is disabled I will be able to recover it Thankyou Gnat! I'll see what I can do about making a tow truck or something for public release in US camo for people to muck around in

Amazing, I take my hat off to you Gnat, a simple yet damn effective work around, no scripts needed

no, I see what he means, however what I stated wasn't a personal opinion it's a fact. The number of different requests for fixing needed in all these topics speak for themselves. Now lets get back on topic. It seems that BIS agrees with me, they've added the ability to tow planes as well as others, glad they are working on the same wavelenght: http://www.armaholic.com/index.php?m=single&id=3757 excelent Â

And thats the silliest part of ArmA, in RL an AK-47 or 74 aint as accurate as a M16, their very reliable, but don't expect to hit much. They were made as a mass fire weapon for a conscript army, have alot of them firing at once and you'll hit something Yep that vegetation fix is about as good as your going to get it, but it's still better then it use to be in arma 1.0 so its improving

I usually play Warfare with a few mates and when I do go on a pub server its only OGN because it's fairly good at keeping the idiots out. Thats not to say accidents dont happen lol

right..... people are so blind that they couldn't see it themselves

That would be a damn nice feature, hardest part for BIS would be the animations
