Hello, I'm referring to a single player scenario, in which the task is to kill a Scud launcher and dispatch all bogeys as well basically I had to do all the mission by myself, because the other two snipers in my team won't fire, and neither did the teammate that should have been covered us (of course they were not ordered to hold fire) thence I've supposed that this is a maybe a bug, so my very question is (as in title): over the teammates tabs there is a blue circled slashed eye, that I did not find what does it mean, and maybe my whole reply is there, thanks (and sorry if I missed it searching thr forums) ---------- Post added at 21:12 ---------- Previous post was at 21:01 ---------- ... I played the mission again, this time the team did its works correctly, no blue icon appeared may the slashed eye mean no line of sight?

(playing Steam release) Hello, I suppose that I have only one armored vehicle to take down with .50 sniper rifle, in that mission yet, meanwhile five shots on target seem to do nothing, in opposite to previous targets, this BMP localizes me beyond 600mt with utter precision (although been prone, in the grass), and I'm dead just after my five shots, with no time even for reloading; moreover, that BMP is capable to shoot even through trees! : - I've tried to shoot at it s engine, only when seeing a a small part of it between two trees: I hit the branches, that don't seem to exist for it) - I've been killed even staying behing a large tree so much for sniper tactics :) any suggestion? thanks

OMAC, I've already moved on to other missions (BAF / PMC single missions) .... in this one I tried only the stealth approach, nothing else, crawling all the way - Carlos Hathcock style - to the most distant shooting point I could find, nonetheless the Klingonian vessel had sensors I couldn't match .... luckily there are lots of missions, and I tend to repeat those where my mistakes have been a factor, and to discard the ones where the fight is against AI or other shortcomings: willing to "live" a sim, my intent is not to play to find the weak spot like it would be in a shooter, otherwise I'd play the shooter :)

I've registered, yet I cannot find :o the vote button............ ---------- Post added at 13:58 ---------- Previous post was at 13:57 ---------- nevermind: found and voted

Hello, in that mission I have thermal optics for .50 sniper rifle, yet there are no readings on the tick marks the rifle is zeroed to 300m please, how do I read the reticule to fire from other (much greater) ranges? thanks

in the end, I've taken the "endmission" shortcut, because it had no more sense to play a sim like a shooter mmm...it's been a couple of years since I played Combined Operations and BAF, .... maybe I've already lived this BMP-2 story .... Hanzu, where is the voting option?

:o this happens when a lot of time passes between gameplay periods ... I didn't remember that zeroing was available, at all ... thanks again (yet tick marks should be there for a reason, isn't it?)

[playing "regular"] Hi, as soon as I start the mission any other suggestion? thanks

Hi, I'm returning to A2OA after a while, and I'm trying to train in the editor with stock .308 and .50 sniper rifles 1 is there MIL DOT actually working or does elevation/windage need only guesswork? (although easy kills at 1000mt with .308 seem not so realistic :), in either case ) in case of real MIL DOT simulation, has the estimate work to be done when the scope is zooming (during breath control), or out of it? 2 are there somewhere downloadable fan missions tasked for snipers? thanks

Hi, I'm - I was :mad: :) - about halfway into Badlands, when I had a CTD, just seconds after a checkpoint save - trying to resume the mission, I have now the same CTD - user savegames are no more available, only a revert from scratch of the mission allows to play without crashes is there no solution other than restarting Badlands? thanks

[playing CO] ...I hope to be in the right place to post ... :o :) Hi, I've just finished stock campaigns and I'm totally new to using mods I've just copied the @CBA folder in main CO folder, and enabled it via the CO expansions feature; on the restart of the game, I have this crash dialog message : "cba/main/script_macros_common-hpp not found" now it looks like I'm stuck as I am not able to find that file, and no similar issue is described on CBA website support pages as well thanks

Hi, meanwhile in the mountains searching and destroying AAs (I had already destroyed 2 ZSUs and one Shilka), more than once has happened that suddenly the debriefing (failed) mission screen appeared, and I was compelled to start the mission over (saves unavailable) what has happened? I did not hear shots on the hull, nor any copilot or instruments warning I was hovering very low in blue territory (IIRC all the times I was maneuvering the ULB) no infantry seemed to be in range thanks

oops, I missed that thread and I miss the sense of a time limit in a seek and destroy mission as well...! so much for realism (again), amd just on the side of arcadish gameplay

how smart these enemies are ... they always find me in the bushes ... so in the end I resorted to my "roadrunner" disguise :D and made it to the survivors group

:) it's not so easy on my PC: silenced HK MP5 is quite less effective than assault rifles, at a distance, moreover I'm outnumbered and normally killed by starting a firefight against 3-4 enemies (that most of times see me through grass and foliage, meanwhile I don't); dashing to the objective seems not to be an option (easily killed), without covering spots ... and that's appreciable: it goes for realism what does not add to realism is this crowd of running enemies - shooter style I think I will camp and wait for the dark...:) ...

as far as I've experienced, the assigned squads are not respawned, you have to rely on HQ factories production

Hi, everything seems to be normal in the plot, yet there is no checkmark on the investigation task may I press on with the mission, or will I encounter some kind of stop in completing Dogs of war? thanks

maybe investment constraints

good point about the value of life, moreover, when there are so large missions, it's very annoying to have to restart them because a bug in the plot or a ctd, especially after the amount of time and concentration needed in the game to take care of ... the value of life :) so the solution seems to be backing up the saves folder before every arma2 session, isn't it?

Hi, I am returning to AA2 after a while, playing 1.05 so far as I've done quite a use of humvee mounted machine gun, I don't remember whether (and, in case, how) it can be rearmed or I have to find another shooting moving platform thanks

:omg: ... :):mad: how many lives must one have, to play this game in the hope of bugs forgiveness?

hi, after bypassing the ominous initial bug of this mission, and after bypassing Badlands corrupted end as well :) , I've found that I've lost all my money and the couple of tanks I bought is there a fix or is this issue unrelevant for achieving the tasks inside this mission? (sorry if I missed the answer inside the many posts) thanks

Hi, I've liberated all four villages, and protected the other little village as well, I've remained with the "conquer the region" task ... :confused: there's a orange marker in Novy Sabor, the easternmost village (the first on the liberation route); I go there, nothing happens did I miss a script checkpoint? ... where? ... hoping that I am still in time to fix the mission outcome thanks

I'd be curious to know whether the money that comes in advance by anticipating the release of a partially buggy (although beautiful) game is equal to the money lost to those that, reading the first users (frustrated) impressions, don't make to purchase at the release time or, worst, adopt other less legal solutions just for tryout...yet the publishers must have made their statistical homework about buyers behaviour.... as a matter of fact: several times I've sworn to purchase later a title (at lower price and fixed as well), or to not purchase it at all...never kept my oath, so far :D .... so far ... what plays the trick in their favour is the fact of the beauty and possibilities of the game ... they win (deserving support) so, moving on with the cheat (and you, BLZ_Meister, better build a bicycle factory, maybe that's allowed :))

the HQ BRDM arrived in Novy Sobor just as soon as it was liberated, and I've already have built a base and factories there; I've already have a BDRM, a T72, and six units should another HQ be coming? (nothing is happening now, in Novy Sobor) .... will I lose a big part of the story, by ending this mission with the cheat option? , so to progress further in the campaign (I don't want to restart this mission too, like it was for Manhattan)
