Saturnalia

Loved Flashpoint to death (particularly the Soviet Campaign) but the lack of join in progress tended to limit the replayability of the game (though that RTS mod certainly helped). Now that ArmA has a few patches out and a US release, I was wondering how the following bug and features turned out. 1. Join in progress- Does ArmA have it? 2. Weapon switching animation lock- You switch to a rocket launcher to kill a BMP and then try to switch back to a rifle when you notice troops on your flank, resulting in your death while you continue to set up your LAW/RPG-X/etc. 3. Multiple "radio" channels in a vehicle- In Flashpoint you would give a command to your gunner to fire on a target and then be forced to wait until new targets are announced before your gunner would fire, due to a lack of multiple "radio" channels (target reporting, orders, etc). Has this been fixed? 4. Any RTS mods available for ArmA yet? Appreciate any replies in advance, thanks!

Just trying this mod on a LAN by myself, is there a way to force the AI to take command, rather than dumping the burden on me?

Short listing of goodies I would like in the mod: 1. The Dragonfly copters 2. "Realistic" weapon mods 3. The A-Team van

It think the last two scare people off. BTW try OFP tactics in CS and you will be called a camper (and worse ) while in the end its just sane and sound tactics of not running suicidally at your enemy but first waiting for them to fuck up and if they dont you can always still go in. Oh well Besides i cant say i have seen a nicer more mature gaming community then OFP's which i think wouldnt have been possible if OFP would have become as popular as CS.<span id='postcolor'> Mind you, jumping around the corner and getting a headshot with an AWP requires slightly different skills than OFP

And theres some other Russian plane, its a heavy bomber.  It has an open cockpit, and looks sort of boxy.  I forgot the name, but it looks really cool too.  I think it was the T-3 or something, I dunno. And the British Hurricane looks really awesome too.  In fact, I'm looking forward to all the lend-lease planes. Now I need to buy a new joystick!

What, you mean girls can fight while not wearing tight shorts and E cups? Will wonders never cease...

If memory serves, plans exist to equip the F-35 (JSF) with a 100 kW laser capable of air and possibly space attack. Macross Plus anyone? Link #1

I would just like the oppurtunity to use a 12.7 mm rifle in this mod. Little thing, but might be fun to snipe at APCs running all over the place.
