I always wondered, do you carry an mg that way. I mean in ofp the soldiers all carry the mg's the same way they carry a lighter gun.

Â The objective is to destroy two well-guarded Shilkas, and seize and hold a town. Â You start with 2 squads. Â And you start in front of the first Shilka. Â It was a massacre: can you imagine what 4x25mm rapid-fire cannons does to infantry? Â I managed to get past this one by hiding in a bush and letting all the AI infantry get slaughtered, stole a LAW from a fresh corpse, got the Shilka, and ran. Â But now I still have to destroy a SECOND Shilka and capture a town crawling with a platoon of Russians?! On top of that I've got at least one squad of really pissed off Russians chasing me from the site of the first Shilka. That's FUBAR. It gets better. Â There was supposed to be a second squad to help me take the village, but they got slaughtered just hopping out of the M113. Â So la tee da, I'm by myself again. Â There were some Ah1's buzzing overhead, but after only immobilizing some armor (I had to finish them with the last LAWs), they didn't do much. I guess the bottom line is that the friendly AI isn't up to the task for these scenarios either. Â A lot of the scenarios assume that the AI squad doesn't take very many casualties, but they always get slaughtered.<span id='postcolor'> I found killing the shilka's easy and lost no men until after I got the second one. Then they all got massacred and I ran into the bushes and attacked from behind. Eventually wiped them out and that was pretty much it. Though it did take me a week.

Prefer m21 to m16 especially when I'm in charge of a squad. Gives good range and it's not like you can only use it at long range, works when they're standing right in front of you too.

Are you thinking that the resistance or civilians might use it?

All I'm saying is there are more people for than against.

I'm probably just being dumb but how do I get things off he ground. Like for instance bringing the compter up to table height?

PS2 sucks.

I always thought a mortar was a weapon which consisted of a launcher which sat on the gound and lobbed shells. What the hell is this thing?

Glad to see there are a lot of people out there with half a mind left. I don't know where these loonies get the idea that anyone wants to replace the existing kit. Also I think some chinese gear would be cool I just don't know of any so I haven't suggested any. Any sugestions? Come on put in the next update you know you want to.

It's just annoying that every game that comes out is America against the world(or more commonly America against Russia). I'd like to see British units as well as the existing ones.

Owning no joystick I use mouse-keyboard but find it nigh-on impossible to control anything. I have been getting the hang of it and can eventually bring down airial units after a while but only if they don't move from side to side to much. It would have been nice to see a different control method that would be easier to pick up but then you just have to make do don't you?

Has anyone made skins for british soldiers also wondering if there were any helos or planes reskinned with british markings. If anyone knows where I can get them post the links here please. Also I can't get to codemasters(restricted college access) or the other site (i forget the name so no links there of any use to me. Thanks.

Naval battles would be cool. Especially aircraft carriers.

So does no one know of anywhere else?

Is it just me or is a game that's all about realism that doesn't include openable doors just not very realistic, I mean could they just not be bothered to write the code, just like the dodgy water? Most games include this basic function why not the so-called realistic ofp?

nuff said.
