Should next ARMA series go to full sci-fi?
spooky lynx replied to mr_centipede's topic in OFFTOPIC - Games & Gaming
No variety in Cold war era? I'd say opposite, much more of it. -

What model it will be? "A" or "E"?:) -

I wonder why noone bothers about real-world user-made locations such as Fallujah, Vietnam regions, Afghan provinces? IMHO devs shouldn't pay any attention on some morons like Lemnos govt and make whatever they want, including real-world locations. -
Unfortunately I know how explosion of hand grenade nearby looks like and how does it sound. And I know how does look explosion of 120-mm mortar or 122-mm artillery shells (and seen the results of its explosions). So I can say impact of 'piggy' (120-mm mortar shell) or D-30 shell is way more horrible than lots of but small bomblets (if you are hiding in the building). It's more horrible when the building starts shaking and falling apart after hit of 122 or 152-mm shells than some grenades bounce around.

Away? ~10-12 h of driving by car (with stops for dinner:)), 1184 km. I shouldn't say it's very far.

Aye, how do HEAT projectiles work and penetrate the target? Read it please. Why should I ask anybody if I was not so far from that places?:) If it was so then our army would use much more cluster munitions in the urban warfare. But IRL they suppose ordinary HE rounds more suitable for collapsing the building with hostile forces in it. So does most of other armies (never seen much cluster rounds fired when some more or less hard and heavy building has to be destroyed). Only JDAM with HE warhead or FAB-500-like bomb. Cluster bomblets have too weak warhead to damage most of solid and hard buildings. Even there are many of them they won't give the same effect as heavy single warhead hitting the roof or wall. Small projectiles can seriously damage building only when they are placed in most vulnerable places and detonated simultaneously. It's good to strike a block of houses by cluster only if you know exactly that there's a lot of uncovered soft targets, stored ammo and vehicles on the streets between them. In other ways it's a waste of bombs/shells and most of bomblets will hit nothing valuable. Again why should I believe somebody who may even hadn't been there if I saw many things they talk about by myself and can compare what is shown and what was IRL there?

Here are some of them: http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enc_tech/4300/%D0%A2 http://btvt.narod.ru/5/t55am_amv/t55am_amv.htm http://btvt.narod.ru/5/t62m_mv/t62m_mv.htm http://itech.io.ua/album157381_1 (2&3rd pages)

I'd say it will burn the skin, maybe cut some fingers. It's not HE-FRAG grenade or RPG-like projectile with enough explosives inside. I've seen a man that lost his hand while trying to dispose RPG-18 while being drunken, but it has much more heavy warhead than RKG.
-
These projectiles are similar to RKG-3 hand grenades. And RKG may be thrown from near the vehicle you are try to hit.
-
Nope. Such small HEAT projectile can not bring much damage and blow leg or hand. Using cluster munitions against buildings is useless and is waste of money. It will bring significant damage neither to houses nor to those who hide in them. They are effective only against some weak shelters or somebody 'in the open field'. So please leave that fairytales about bad boyz shooting cluster shells at hospitals for the children. Documented examples? Like those depicting Russian tanks advancing Gori in 8th of august?;)

Watched video in HD again and didn't notice any exact detonation. Will watch it one more time with sound on (I'm at work for most of time and don't have any speakers or headphones unfortunately). Then, those submunitions and RBK hull seem to be brought there - because there's no craters. Those bomblets fall with rather big speed and they must leave a crater after impact. Also bomblets that are shown on the video are anti-tank HEAT PTAB-2,5 munitions - they aren't effective against any soft targets.
-
Let's read this article a bit carefully. At first, all that is said by AJ must be taken with the grain of salt. Strikes taking place near. But not exactly at the town. BTW... Why there's no photo or video provided with the report? Cluster bombs banned by most countries? Didn't know CBU series is banned;)

I live in nearly the same country but try to buy as powerful hardware as possible, because of one reason: you buy better hardware now -> you don't need to have upgrade for a longer period of time. It's better to spend one sum once in a 5 years than spend not so much less but once a 2-3 years. -

Some days ago my VGA driver died, and another built-in videocard (in my MB) helped me a lot in reinstalling drivers. So I'd say some simple built-in videocard is quite useful in such kind of situations. -
Because that bloody tyranic regime can't do anything than killing innocent people just for lulz.

Yeah, I suppose it will be cheaper and faster for you, Vilas, to visit Germany and buy what you need in some local store. And then return home and assamble new PC:) -

Small question from me - I think about changing my DDR3 RAM from 4Gb to 8 Gb. Will it give me significant performance increase in Arma2? -

If I'm not mistaken they were rearmed with BMP-2D and BTR-70. 103th VDV division during Afghan deployment even had T-62M company in it. -
Free addon that is repainted and sold to fans? Great...
