I meant a CAS with heli as jets aren't in just yet.

Ok I got the arty and CAS to work, is there anyway to sync it up to an AI leader and have them use it when needed?

I'm also interested in how I can get the AI to make use of mortars.

Yeah the AI doesn't seem to want to use the flashlights unfortunately.

First and foremost, this is a comment from someone that knows absolutely nothing about helicopters or any form of aircraft. After fiddling around with the preview for about 30 minutes, I'm having a really hard time seeing how this can be fleshed out into a full game. Turn on Auto Trim and the flying isn't all that dissimilar from the original ARMA heli's. Maybe I'm missing something but this game feels, by the day, more and more like some sort of April Fools joke that refuses to reveal the prank.

Haha, sounds awesome. Sisak has some beautiful rolling fields that would be perfect for warfare, It would be about the most fun you could have in this place.

Couldn't agree more. One thing I hope they change is how helicopters react to damage. I want to see more dramatic drops and allow choppers to crash into the terrain without instantly bursting into flames. I'd love to see a chopper full of men splash into the ground and then see a handful of said men hopping out a little worse for wear.

Wow, these BIS fanboys have extremely short fuses. I thought the 13 year olds talking trash about consoles could be vicious but oh boy! I've purchased every OfP +Arma game from Resistance to Queens Gambit, correct me if I'm wrong but BiS has never given anything away for free. I don't understand why they are worshiped as if they were gods. This franchise was built by the community based additions. I like BIS, I like their games but I'm not going to worship them like they are John Jones and they have the magic elixir to enter heaven, seemingly like some people here are. Anyway to get back on topic, I just spent $40 bucks on the expansion, yes I'm a little miffed that just a month later this'll gets released, hence my tentativeness to engage my wallet and take evasive action.

Purposely leaving stuff out of Arrowhead and then selling it as DLC? I honestly thought much better of BIS. $10 for a handful of new troops, cars and heli's? I'll stick to the community based addons. Thanks, but I'll pass.

I've tried the same mission (couple of AH-1's vs K-52's) with both Vanilla OA + SLX and just Vanilla OA. The SLX mod mission is always stuttering and lagging.

Has anyone else had FPS issues with the SLX mod? It seems to drop my FPS down by huge leaps!

This'll go perfectly with the MTP infantry! Downloading...

Lol. Inv 1944 was THE mod back in the day! Too bad they had all the promise in the world but not enough man power. Didn't they end up releasing like a half made mod for OFP? If I recall they had the highest quality WW2 U.S + German soldiers with some pretty nice cannons as well. Such a shame.

So I put the dash infront of the Nosplash and it did change a lot of things, unfortunately I'm still experiencing the mod without any sounds at all......

No sound at all. From clicking on the menu to the noise from guns and vehicles are all missing. It's essentially like playing the game without any speakers...

So I took the plunge and downloaded the Mod, got a few problems. There is no sound to speak of. As if the game is on mute, I installed with Six Updater and my launch parameters are as followed " nosplash "-mod=@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_SM" " Tried searching around to no avail.

I really want to try this mod with OA but the overly complicated installation process is completely turning me off right now....

Gah gamestop sucks! Looks like I'll be waiting a while to get my copy..

Hey guys, I haven't been on the forums in quite a while and wondering if there was a catch to Combined Arms. It is apparently ArmA II + the Operation Arrowhead expansion yet it retails for $50, the same price as the original ArmA II. Am I missing something? I know that Operation Arrowhead alone is $40 and ArmA II alone is $50, totaling at $90 yet I can seemingly get ArmA II for just $10 when bought with Combined Arms. Regards cautious buyer.

This has probably been answered a million times so please forgive me. Will addons work in Arrowhead if you don't own ArmA2?

ARMA 2 just isn't fun for me, sure the graphics are nice but overall the gameplay just feels somewhat boring. 90% of the time you can't even see the enemy only to find out your getting shot at by a squad of guys on the other side of a hill. I don't know how to narrow it down but before in Arma it felt like you had so many options to choose from. I'm trying to like Arma 2 but its just too hard at the moment. Not to mention there is still no inclusion of a kill book when you die, like the one from OFP, and with such drastic bullet spray and long distance shooting, its almost as if you did nothing at all the entire time.

The AI still cant drive and they crash into tree's more than ever.

OK I was able to play Arma II this weekend and the main thing that stuck out to me was that there wasn't anything new in terms of editor stuff (like proper heli rappelling and eject options instead of using scripts) Now I've been playing the Bis games since OFP and if you take a look back to the original OFP then look at Arma II, there is literally nothing new other than graphics and units. Maybe I'm missing something. Also, why do the planes still not use their bombs so now we have to write scripts to have them work accurately as well? I love the game but calling it Arma 2 was way off, more like Arma 1.25

Oh wow cool, so there is no way the AI can use it independently?

Yeah the U.S sucks for the Bis OFP/Arma franchise, Bis feels the need to like dumb down or give the game a gimmick to sell it to American audiences for some reason. And steam is generally good, other than the fact that your paying full retail and don't get a manual, box or CD which is kind of dumb that people still buy digital for RRP. But generally when I buy games off of steam (HL, TF2, Pirates! ect ect) it downloads at around the same time it would have taken me to go to the store and get it.
