Oh thanks.. didnt knew that even as a vet.

If you want the good old standard way... this is how it works: 1st. Create a folder for example named "Mapfact_WP" 2nd. Do like on this pic. The line must be added with: -mod="foldername" after the exe file. It works for OFP and ArmA the same.

Chris... who would be the man to provide anything ArmA related ? Did you forget me already ? Give me a shout on MSN mate, I can organize it for you... with some good discount for you

Take that as the last off-topic post of mine here. @ Wolfsblut - every single player here has payed for his copy of ArmA which enables the RIGHT to share opinions of ANY kind.

You need to download the 1.05 international version.

Hey! welcome to the forums. Well yeah... it is known that the AI is a very good shooter. This is something you have to deal with... you'll improve more and more and you will cope with situations better. I cant say too much about the scope of the M24 ... but I guess that it is no designed to be accurate. I know that the SVD PSO1 scope isnt modelled correctly. Advise: train, train, train ... cheers!

Aye... I recall playing a mission with BAS addons in OFP some time ago. We had everything done but one T-72 was left. We had splitted our teams and had some forces on the ground which were pinned down and some in the air. Eventually, some of our guys flew in with a BAS chopper and shot the T-72 with the Minigun which is 7.62mm ! After the magazine was almost completely empty the tank really exploded because it was hit by so many rounds.

Amen !! Thanks.. just what I wanted to say.

I think you are missing the point there again. Although I can partly agree with your view that it costs time and money, I can not really agree with it being law confirm etc. I dont see a reason why ArmA should need so many legitimations and whatever other point you mentioned. Your focus is to justify BISs position, do you get paid for it ? The simple fact is that BIS implemented a system for armour values and such ... but still fails to have the values realistic. The earn their money with the copies sold allright, thats how it works. The only problem is that their product is not as it was promissed and not as it was expected by many loyal ofp players. So what exactely is your point ? ArmA is unrealistic, you first call for "destroyable optics" and then argue that it would cost BIS too much money and time to correct their flaws ? Well... simple as that, they are the producers of the game, its their job to do it We are the consumers ... it is not up to us to care about what the producers capabilities are, is it ? I guess you get my point.

Read his post. He wasn't saying not to mention these things but HOW you mention them. Read my post. I said that I reported it on Biki Buglist and I am in a project to improve armas realism.

That was a nice one Im 19 here... started playing ofp in June 2001. Became a Vet in OFp after some years in some brilliant clan and am happy to be back to ofp again. (my rig is old) Well... weird that one can get private on public BI forums, who ever imagined that. Anyway.. Im gonna start to study in a few month.. looking pretty much forward to it.

You must feel compelled to post your "I think ArmA's flawed" opinion at every possible opportunity, eh? Try doing something instead of just bitching, you might be surprised at the results. Use the bug tracker, post constructive feedback, do something aside from just complaining. As to the issue at hand, this has been brought up before in the past. It is no-doubt on the "To Do" list, but how long it may take to get addressed is up for question. I am in fact doing something. You might have heard of Project USTP, there I am a developer bringing in my ideas to provide a guideline of realism for addonmakers and such. And yes I "bitch" about because this is something that has to be discussed. ArmA has many flaws which decrease realism and fun in MP and SP games. Surely this is a reason to complain. How can for example 180x 5.56mm ammo disable a Humvee while 270x 7.62mm (with greater power) do the same ? Shouldnt the 7.62mm value be less than 180x ?? And you want me not to mention it ? I have post it on the buglist too by the way, so please do some more research before accusing someone. The topicstarter complained about the Mk19s recoil and I told him that not only that grenadelauncher but many are things are not okay in ArmA. Why should people play a game with this circumstances and rarely people complain about this basic must. But yeah go ahead and defend ArmA because it has good graphics ...

Well... thats the point. ArmA is supposed to be the most realistic combat simulator and in fact you can have all sorts of vehicles and units in all possible environments but these vehicles engaged do not coform with real life values. So ... it kind of displays the reality but in a wrong colour so to speak. Have a look at this tables: Humvee Armour BMP2 armour I further share the same opinion as MehMan. Expecting that the optics would give away but the armoury itself be messed up, doesnt make much sense. As you can see from the tables many values are simply ridiculous, so before we take any further steps to improve the tank (ie. adding optics that can be damaged by MG rounds) we should get this basic, selfexplaining values sorted. Edit: Those tests were made with 1.02 not 1.05 and some values should definetely be changed!

I am very much aware of the vulnerability of tanks - especially in urban areas. And I agree to every single point you mentioned here. I have a friend of mine as a gunner of the Marder 1A3 IFV and learnt pretty much from him and have also seen knocked out or disbandend tanks in Iran from the Iraq/Iran war. I know that disabling the optics makes a tank virtually blind, but I seem to have put my text down wrongly. I meant that this does not work in Armed Assault. There is no such thing implemended in ArmA and thus no logical way how the BRDM gunner could have disabled the M256 of the M1A1.

Yeah true... still it doesnt make sense to fire at a MBT with that calibre. In fact IFVs (I know from first hand) are ordered to get the fuck out ASAP when they face a MBT and IFVs are equipped with 20, 30 or 40 mm AP rounds which have many times the lethality of the KPVT. But even if the BRDM gunner should fire at the M1A1 ... the gun shouldnt be damaged.

Sorry for using the word but this bullshit !! Simulating a real effect ? ArmA can not handle some simple principles and you want to say that disabling the main gun of a MBT is possible at all ? (especially in ArmA!! I tell you the real reason. ArmA has messed up armoury and penetration values. Almost everything possible in this game, it is poorly done. Although for some reason I can not picture that this really happened. Did the BRDM really turn your main gun to "red" with ths 14.5 mm ?

Glad you found this out, but its only one of many issues that are not realistic in ArmA. In fact ArmA has many wrong and not far enough developed things.

The "Russian" choppers in the Rambo films weren't really Russian. I think it was an Agusta of some sort standing in for a Hind. Well.. they were russian choppers. Although not the Mi-24 but the Mi-35. Because the export designation of the Hind is Mi-35 and the cockpit and some other parts of the helicopters are changed. Of course the soviets used Mi24s but Afghans national army used Mi35 (if they at all participated in the air war). The MI24 is available for ArmA.. made by RHS.

The M107 is the new official US Army Designation of the Barrett M82A1 AMR (Anti-Material Rifle). So its the same thing, still a 10-Round Semi-Automatic .50cal BMG Anti-Material Rifle made by Barrett. Nope, still M107 and M82 are two different sniper rifles. They are made from the same manufacturer "barret" and may have the same caliber and magazine load but they look pretty much different And no .50cals can not penetrate tanks (tanks=MBT) but with the circumstances given, APCs or IFVs. By the way... why did you post a pic of the L115A1 ? Its .338 and not .50cal ...

Hmm yeah your probably right .. Im sorry, didnt encounter the AI tank problem. I didnt touch the armour anyway after I realized how badly edited their configs are. Yeah the priority list should of course be in ....

Well... Ive uninstalled ArmA and sent it to a friend in the Netherlands. I just like the people in this forums, this is why Im here daily and not because of the game, Im back to OFP anyway

I think its just a simple error that occured there... it simple "halt" in the communication of the AI. Nothing too serious, we've had this in OFp too where a tank looked at you with his barrel pointed at you, but didnt fire when you lay still. Simply restart the map ... or the game and they will attack again.

gone gold doesnt mean anything ... In my eyes its rather PR than anything else. ArmA had gone gold too and remember how crazy everyone was ? And ArmA turned out to be .... well you know it.

Most grand video I have seen of ArmA so far. The TrackIr4 video wasnt bad either though The community guys are 1000 times more taltented than the BIS crew. They should be offered a job at BIS and earn money for this kind of professionalism.
