    If Rock's A400M is anything like the real one we could get it late and have to pay for the privilege of having it;)

    Just been playing around with the Tiffy Rock and there seems to be game crashes when engaging certain units, e.g. BRDM-2 with CRV-7 HEDP/Mauser/PWII or the Mi-8TV Medevac with the Mauser. Just a freeze and the only way to get out of it is to press 'esc' to go back to desktop.

    This is on the Helmand Valley map running Combined Operations so that may be the problem but I see no reason why the game should crash just by engaging targets.

    All said and done though, it does at last feel like a proper aircraft with proper handling. The BIS models all feel light but with mushy steering.

    Edit: Bugger, wrong thread:o

    Yes but most of those vehicles are now designed/modified with IED threats in minds. I'd love to see BIS implement some form of better damage system rather than hitpoints. Also the ability to plant IEDs in the tops of door frames, sides of walls and in portable objects (i.e. wheelbarrows, and yes this has been used to effect before, sadly).

    A better medical system is something I'd also like to see. The Coalition in Afghanistan and Iraq put an absolutely huge emphasis on extracting casualties whether they be military, civilian or enemy. For instance Stage 1: Secure the casualty and administer basic combat medicine at the scene then extract by land or air to a main base for advanced surgery. Not having to do the advanced medicine but things like tourniquets and chest compressions would add far more to the immersion of the game than *First Aid* and one minute later the guy's running about like Linford Christie.

    If BIS is going for the MilSim arena and basing the game on the current theatre's of operation then medical care needs to be taken a good look at as well as IEDs and just how deadly they really are.

    Rather than the vehicles which are generally just knock offs of widely used US equipment, already in game. <- That might be controversial. : )


    MWMIK Jackal
    WMIK Landrover

    I guess you can tell, I'd like to see the British Armed Forces (all three branches).

    Is this game really for you? Honestly, single-seating a twin seat attack helicopter? How do you expect to support your team on the ground if they need cannon fire on a specific target?

    The Apache is not just a fire support platform but a machine with fantastic observational capabilities. You've got no magnification or thermal imaging, your cannon can only point straight ahead as opposed to ±120° in azimuth, ±30/-60° in elevation and you also have to fly 'down the barrel' to hit any infantry, effectively exposing you to small arms fire, which you shouldn't have to do.

    And jumping between seats... :j:

    Its strange that even in OA their is no Brit soldiers, we all know wherever the US goes our government decides to follow. :rolleyes:

    ;)

    This might not need to be a spoiler but just in case:

    In the last cutscene of the OA campaign it says that the British are sending more troops to the area to reinforce the Allies 'very soon'. A few months would be my guess.

    Sorry for the off-topic.
