Only recently has russia adopted the 5.56 in their AK-100 series. The AK-74, which has been used since 1974 (duh) has been using 5.45, not 5.56 nor 7.62 This hurt export though, so the AK-100 series also comes in 7.62 and 5.56

It's funny how infantry freaks hate vehicles and fear that they will screw up OFP. Vehicles is what sets OFP apart from GR and all the other crap.

I think it's a great idea. The f16 is also an icon of 1980's warfare. They would keep the current bombers from dominating ground battles. And some serious SAM launchers would prevent the fighters from dominating the game. This way everything would end up in perfect balance

The 5.45 caliber kills just as well as a 7.62, and is lighter/smaller which is good when you carry loads of them. The large caliber is only useful on extreme range, like in the SVD. Besides, the AK-47 and AK-74 are exactly alike in OFP. Same damage/reload/precision etc. cheers

In pathfinder I emptied all 400 MG bullets into the village, while the others took out the ZSU. We came out of it with no casualties. Then I grabbed a PK and wasted the incoming squad on the road. One of them had an AK grenade launcher, which I used to take out the three guys in the grass, before they knew we where coming. When we got to the town, the other had no trouble taking out the second Shilka. I think there was 1 or 2 western casualties during the assault. If you play it a couple of times, you'll notice how the AI fighting ability varies alot. Sometimes your squad is real good, sometimes they suck.

Regarding voices and Red Hammer. CM should let BIS put the russian accent voices in the next patch, so they can be heard and used by all players of OFP. They should also make a female-pack, with women soldiers and voices. I mean, they have stayed politically correct and have all races in OFP, but no women.

Vehicles not great? Get that crack-pipe out of your @ss! He should mention just ONE game (including racing games) that are more fun to drive than the Jeep down Kolgujev mountain!

this thread is actually becoming interesting. Please, do go on.

Plane throttles have also become odd when using joystick. With a joystick connected, it's often not possible to control rudder or thrust with the arrow keys on the keyboard. This is very annoying, as I only fly the Cessna on keyboard (when using joystick, the plane want's to dive constantly). The plane can still be directed with the mouse, but rudders and thrust has to be controlled on the joystick This happens 90% of the time. Sometimes it's possible to use the arrows. Also, when using the joystick thrust, I can fly faster than the planes max-speed. The Cessna has a config max-speed of 300 km/h, but I can push it to 370 in straight cruize (no diving). think this came at the same time as the odd chopper throttle allowing me to fly at 60.000 km alt. Can anyone confirm the plane-bug? cheers

Well, a satchel should be "disarmed" after a heavy hit, but it should not go off. It's plastic explosives - you can throw it on a fire and nothing happens.

I'm waiting for OFP 9.0 !!! Imagine what it will be like if it ever gets that far! Besides from that, it's Deus Ex 2. The first one completely possesed me.

You can also do it my way: Finish school decently, then start your own business where company-lunchbreak is 5 hours long and dedicated to playing OFP!

Heheh ... I still remember the day when I was down the game shop, with OFP in one hand and some other game I can't remember in the other. I just had absolutely no clue what an addiction I was about to get myself into! Welcome to the club - gaming will never be the same again!

I have Red Hammer too, but not the problem. Try removing any unofficial addons with bad or no tags?

Try and rip open one of BIS's missions that works and see why.

I think that is a shame. I can only imagine what battles could be fought if OFP supported unlimited amounts of ram.

LOL, that bomb is just lame! How about civilians with TNT belts running up to you and shouting something religious before they pull the cord ...

I've installed OFP like you, with Red Hammer taking it to 1.30 and then the 1.42 patch. I've just tested those weapons and they work fine. Try reinstalling or look for bad addons?

That is why addon makers should have their tags registered at Addon Depot and use it in ALL class-names

I never use Autopilot landing, but wanted to test out the supposed fix for wobbling Cessnas. Well, they STILL wobble up and down, and furthermore, they don't wanna land with autolanding. They just circle around forever. This is after upgrading to 1.40 or 1.42

One way to get around this problem, until it's fixed (by either CL or BIS or whoever): When you have boarded a vehicle and start to speed up, the scrackling should begin. Then swap your viewmode from 1st person to 3rd person and back. That should fix the sound for your current ride. This is necessary each time you get into a new vehicle, but atleast your eardrums won't explode!

In OFP, the ZSU's range is also shorter, not just the helos It goes for everything, else the islands would have to be 10 times as big. If distances where real, any tank could easily shell loctions at the other end of the island, nomatter where they where at. If you wanna get rid of ZSU's, jump into an A10. That's what they're there fore! They make ZSU's sitting ducks, pretty much.

The guys in the beginning are just schoolkids. They even play I-spy! Then they all get killed in a meaningless attack. Regarding lines, OFP does have a few of it's own, like: Soldier at chopper: "She's nice and warm, just the way you like her." Colonel Blake to Armstrong: "I've been keeping an eye on you, Sergeant. And I've liked what I've seen." Argh!
