As an option - maybe. But I have only negative Steam experience so please don't make it Steam-dependable.

- Better warheads simulation (KE, HEAT, FRAG). - Realistic penetration system. - Realistic story but not some megamix.

Will some plain green version be made?

Any other 'actual air force' except Russian, Chinese and Indian may be outnumbered by existing fleet of fighters. And, because of and restart or begin in a hurry F-35 program these planes won't suit potential WW3 with involvement of Russian, Chinese or Indian AF.

Here are some words from Russian writer and orientalist, who lives in Syria (in Russian, may be translated via Google).

Surprise! Not only "democracies" may enlarge and protect their spheres of influence.

Thank you captain obvious;) But please read my posts some more times and realise that air superiority over some third world country may be gained by any current USAF fighters. They are upgraded, they are manned by well-trained crews, they are in significant numbers and require less complicated mainetance. No need to use F-22 against few dozens of Iranian Tomcats and MiG-29s or against few Syrian MiG-29s and -23s. USAF can outnumber Venesuelan Su-30s too. And the main future threat is not military but economical collapse.

Real city in ArmA? That's easy to make but impossible to use. Because only few gamers have PCs that will be able to have at least 30 fps on the map representing at least city with 250K population, with at least half of the buildings enterable and significant amount of AI (both combatants and civilians) and armor units, cars etc.

Real big stick that saves lives of your soldiers is Warthogs, Harriers and F-15/16/18. They put the bombs on the heads of talibans, they did it in Iraq. Maybe they will do it in Iran.

Make good soft and people will buy it just to thank devs. Make good films and music and people will buy it. Make good things but not one-day trash.

I guess that somebody thinks that Cold war is not over and it's necessary to build newer jets no matter of economy. At the same time disbanding 5 squadrons of really viable aircrafts because of bad financial situation. Well, it's their choice...

Yes, adult people sometimes act like kids. Didn't you know that? Sure. Every new fighter may be a potential threat. It's so much expensive and complicated than the rest. It suits neither for current possible wars with much weaker opponents nor for hypothetical WW3. Some years ago Tiger and Panther were very good tanks but their users lost to those who drove massive, simple and cheap T-34s and M4 Shermans. And Me-262 lost to P-51s, Spitfires and La-7s. F-22 is multirole fighter with limited air-to-ground capability as I know. It's too expensive to clean Iranian airspace, it's too expensive to be used instead of current fighters in anti-guerrilla warfare and it's in limited numbers so it won't clean Chinese or Russian airspace. And I doubt that US can afford extra 200-300 Raptors in short terms in case of hypothetical war with the country like China or Russia without significant economical losses. Oh shi~ 13 days of action and a month of maintenance then?! Isn't it awful?

1) Marketing and advertisement. I've seen huge and colorful articles promoting Raptor long before it went to serial production. 2) It's a new aircraft so it's good to have some true info about it. Who knows when and where it will be used... 3) It's unfit because only few countries have fighters that may compete with F-22. Raptor requires complicated maintenance, so it can't be operated from all airbases. So who may be its counterpart? Looking at US enemies, it is quite enough to use current 4th gen fighters, they can do all the work of Raptor for less money. They are in large numbers, they are easier to maintain, they can operate from nearly every airbase, they are supported by AWACS and ECM aircrafts, they can use the same weapons as Raptor does. Maybe they are less stealthy but they can see their enemies at the same range through AWACS and J-STARS as F-22 does (don't even try to tell me that F-22 will be ever operated without AWACS support during any serious war). So, Raptor is too expensive for using it against taliban-style guerrillas and Iran-style countries and too small in quantity for being used against Russia or China. It's just 'look what we can produce' thing.

USAF acts well because it has great cooperation between all its branches. And not because it has some stealthy uberwaffes in its inventory. I think many 4th gen foghters + AWACS + ECM + command & control planes and all them with well trained crews will crush some 5th gen stealths which are without proper support. So is there really anything to worry about?

Can you post some screenshots with it?

Late production version - with tail rotor on the left side?

Very glad to see that this warbird is on the way to release! What skins are planned for it now?

Really? Sounds good!

I have at least two photos of Georgian -60s: this one is depicted in Zugdidi in 1992, and this - near Kodori river again in 1992. Both are from Armor Collection journal.

There was BTR-80 addon for ArmA1, maybe it's possible to port it in ArmA2 with the permission of the author.

Sorry for misunderstanding, I meant up-armored BMP-1 model. Would be glad to see it in the game.

You're right, but as far as I know there were no BTR-70s in Georgian army at all from the very begining. Only -60s and -80s. So it' better to use BTR-60 IMHO - as some vehicles taken from stocks in case of serious conflict.

Any chance to see this in the future?

Helicopter's fuselage is too soft and has too many voids, and generic SABOT will pass through it like a hot knife through the butter and won't give any significant kinetic energy to the chopper. So average chopper can fly with lots of holes made by bullets unless they hit any cable or power plant part. True. Explosion and pressure.

Big thanks for non-ACE version! It is even better to use BTR-60 instead of -70 (I haven't seen any photo of Georgian BTR-70 IRL but seen -60 in 1992). And if you want to make T-72B again, it's possible to contact its original author via flashpoint.ru forum.
