I've noticed some problem with US SF units. Some of them are available in the editor only through placing a groups. If I hit F1 and try to edit some of them they appear as OA German units in the unit menu (F1). And if I scroll to the Unsung SF units list there are only some of them (only armed with AR-15s, M60, M63 and Grease guns if my memory does not cheat me). Other units (armed with such weapons as BAR, Sterlings etc) are not visible in the 'Units' menu.

I'm not familiar with modern gear, so may anybody help me with one question - what do FAPC and VAC mean?

It requires Vilas' P85 mod. Do you have it?

Please be patient, this young boy must show some muscles among his own people to get respected.

Ole good mines and other explosives, AKs, PKs, RPG-7 and DShK. It's easier a lot to set a minefield or IED if you live in that place and know all the spots that are best for it. Oh the irony... Many people say that late 80's Mujaheeden were barely managing their survival too:)

But still Talibans equipped with obsolete weapons are potent threat to ISAF, and they fight for already 12 years against enemy with up-to-date equipment. Making coffins fly to Europe and America and being a reason for giant amount of money spent on this war. So I'd say peasants with obsolete weapons but with great knowledge about theatre of war and idea to fight for were and are serious enemies.

So is the latest release unplayable? May you post some screenshots of errors?

ArmA3 will replace ArmA2 only when three things will happen: 1) Steam-free version of A3 will be developed and released 2) all the mods that are released for ArmA2 will be made for ArmA3 also 3) ArmA3 will be polished enough and become real ver.1 game build, not neverending alpha-beta-gamma-etc.

How could you read my thoughts?:D Some weeks ago I've made some play about such scenario with CSLA Airborne and Recon troops.

I've noticed that OT-62 TOPAS-2AP has only 2 cargo seats. Vilas, may you change its interior to make it with more seats? As far as I know, installation of BTR-60-style turret takes space for two soldiers in compartment (in BTR-60, OT-64 for example). So TOPAS-2AP may have almost the same carrying ability as unarmed TOPAS (and it's rather large amount of troops).

My thoughts? There won't be any war. Norks have no power to take the South. Zerg rush is not so successful nowdays. South has not enough funds to make Northern infrastructure at least half of their own and at the same time it will have to drop significantly its army budget after reunion. USA will lose its long time scarecrow and excuse to have huge amount of forces at the Far East (and also drop the defence spending - no more crazy Norks missile threat). So current status quo suits well for everyone. P.S. If North will take over South it will collapse too. All its ideology is based on possible war. But what will be after its end? They don't say anything. They will fail to explain why their people still live in poverty after crush of evil Southern capitalists.

I saw some tuned AK-74 here in future addons topic.:) Are there any plans for tuned AKMS like these ones? http://www.goodfon.ru/wallpaper/299650.html And especially this one: http://i2.guns.ru/forums/icons/forum_pictures/6/006621/6621131.jpg

Very nice mod. I always like to play with real armies in ArmA:) My suggestions after some play: 1) M-84 wheels textures are far more accurate than T-72 ones but on the other hand T-72 smoke grenade launchers are more accurate than that of M-84. So can you combine them? 2) MT-12 has OA ballistic computer, but M-46 does not. Can you add computer to M-46 too? IRL this gun is used for indirect fire mainly, unlike MT-12. 3) Flag at some T-55 models (either VRS or HVO) looks like it is made of plastic sheet:) I think it would be better to remove it, if someone will want to add a flag to the tank - he may do it via init command. Also some T-55s have additional armor from T-55AM on the front part of hull. If I'm not mistaken T-55AM-stlye upgrade was not used in former Yugoslavia. 4) ZSU-57-2 wheel bondages are green like wheels themselves. May you paint them in darker color?

Finally! Thanks a lot.

I may have any interest I want but without any legal tool and written agreement all I may get is "When it's done"© until ArmA4 comes out with its own payware DLCs.

I'd like to see the licence agreement which states that BIS ought to make any DLCs (at least one) with sane terms of making:) And then give any DLC for free to those who buy 'Supporter edition'. Otherwise I think it's too naive to pay for something that may be done no one knows when. Or may be not done at all.

I prefer to pay for already completed product, not for any alpha or beta. Yes, some BIS 1.0 games were like something between alpha and beta but with full price tag;) but still I'm against any pre-orders or similar BS. I don't believe in a promises like "buy now - get later". Plans can be changed, terms can be moved.

I'd better give more cash, but for truly finished and polished product when it's finished. But not waste now nearly full price at something that may be finished somewhen.

I'd prefer "Gonna play it first then decide" variant, but likely I won't get alpha free. So I'll wait for full release. Don't want to waste full price on some incomplete software, as I did back in a days of ArmA1 and ArmA2 release.

"Purchase" and "Alpha" are inconsistent words for me, so no, thanks, I'll wait for full version release and some feedback.

It hadn't taken much time and resources to make non-Steam Half-Life 2 & Episodes and CS:S. Why should it take so for developers themselves? Moreover many of us agree to wait for good polished game rather than buy de-facto some kind of incomplete beta with tons of bugs quicker but then wait for a number of patches which will make it more or less playable *cough*ArmA1 and early ArmA2*cough* ---------- Post added at 15:41 ---------- Previous post was at 15:36 ---------- You have to keep Steam running at background for playing. Speaking about performance hit it depends on your PC and the game you run. I hadn't any problems with HL2 or mods, but some lags may appear with ArmA which can't be named resource-friendly game.

Hm... May anybody be kind and provide non-SU link? Upd.: is it available on Playwithsix too?

Disable update of Steam itself? Where I can do it? I use Win7, hadn't reinstalled Steam, because there will be too much time spent on it, together with reinstalling the whole HL2 group I have. Exactly. Software has errors so why should I use even more of it? Windows errors, the game errors... Isn't it enough? I don't want to have some more software the errors of which can corrupt my gaming.

The same question was asked by an officer who served many years on T-64 with RWS and saw old HMG station at fresh new T-80. Answer he got: "After some years we will reintroduce the station from T-64, but that will be upgrade, and someone will get a reward for it". Oh and don't forget about hard design bureaus struggle with each others. RWS was from Kharkov.
