Lunatic

There are some very naive comments in this thread. Firstly: The Military now works on force multiplication. Force multiplication, in military usage, refers to an attribute or a combination of attributes which make a given force more effective than that same force would be without it. The expected size increase required to have the same effectiveness without that advantage is the multiplication factor. For example, if a certain technology like GPS enables a force to accomplish the same results of a force five times as large but without GPS, then the multiplier is five. Such estimates are used to justify an investment cost for force multipliers. A force multiplier refers to a factor that dramatically increases (hence "multiplies") the effectiveness of an item or group. So what do we currently use and where have we come from since 1993. The Bosnian war lead to an uptake in PGM (Precision Guided Munitions), such as paveway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision-guided_munition This required a lasing platform and an attack platform. Where are we now, with the likes of JDAM, the bomb does all the work using GPS. How has this multiplied the force, in effect one plane can fly to a target, designate and fire and forget a bomb. One platform free to do other tasks. In the first gulf war there was a significant uptake of the Apache, this also needed two platforms, the Kiowa as a spotter and the Apache to attach, since then the longbow has been developed, which melded the Apache and Kiowa into one frame. WRT robots and the military, we are using more and more drones, including toy like helicopters. With miniaturization (think of a 1993 mobile phone Vs todays), the looming nano-tech era will again bring smaller and smaller more capable devices, leading to new interesting and novel ways to use tech in defence. So the likes of Big Dog, UAVs, Stealth UAVs, the arming of Reaper etc, who knows where we will be, but do not think for a second that there won't be more robotics in the military, if it's a force multiplier, it will be there. What we can say, is that until true VR exists and robots can replace the reactions and speed etc of a man, then without these two being joined in one item, boots will always be needed on the ground, just less of them.

But neither is the iron sight Zeroed at 200m. That's what the battle sight is for and I think you'll find that's what the sticky up bit is on top of the ACOG and the SUSAT. Bearing in mind that scoped weapons have glass in them that can be damaged rendering the sight useless, so a back up is always given.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/122_mm_howitzer_2A18_(D-30) here is the list of know munitions for the D30, and only two ICM canisters are known, 1 Israeli and 1 chinese. M335 (CL 3153) and Norinco Cargo respectively. There is 1 other, egyptian but name not known.

+1 for this, seasonal changes would be good, but yeah mainly summer and winter.......just think, gravity is already modelled so skis could be made....down hill Arma2 ski championships, the amount of possibilities would exponentially grow if we had winter..

The offical terminology as taught is "The rifle". Which is kind of unisex if you like as it could be any rifle should we get a new one. Other nomenclature are, "my weapon", "Gat", "Gun" and as you correctly stated "SA80"; all of which are equally viable.

Eurrgghh, the thought, "mind if I join him?" that really is taking team work to a whole new level.......a little bit too rainbow for me! StalkerGB the textures of the weapons are looking very good.

If you have a dead guy in a vehicle, the blood effect keeps pouring out onto the floor underneath, it doesn't look too good. Can the effect from the vehicle be removed?

Did no one tell you that "not" jokes just aren't funny, and that bad attitudes towards people that are trying to offer help and support is ignorant and arrogant. Your attitude stinks, you are obviously a bad ambassador for Americans! You need to heed advice when offered and you need to post suggestions in the suggestion thread. Grow up, get a grip and sort your attitude towards community members out! Otherwise, please refrain from posting shit!!

Bump deleted as we cant bump. Any news?

It was a joke, but now I've had to explain it it's not funny. When will you lot start to get sarcasm.

FFS have you not seen saving private Ryan?

@StalkerGB can you put the dust cover down, it would be better to have it open all the time than to try to animate it opening on the first shot? But other than that that animated bolt is pure porn. ---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ---------- What do you need on fighting patrol that you couldn't fit into 58 pattern webbing? BTW you had some boring exercises!

Bergans would be too much of a reminder of those bad times at Sennybridge. Partol sacks fine but bergans...our survey says X X X

Cant get the M203 to work with this mod, maybe i'm missing something but the grenades just don't seem to be in the weapon. Also you can't stop dragging someone once you've started using the original first aid module. Some of the anims are very jerky, but don't know why. A good start but that WIP for you.

It seems to me that most of you have never held a bayonet. Bayonets are more of a psychological weapon that and actual stabbing implement, they alter the mentality of the man who has it fitted to his weapon and scare the crap out of the man being charged by said uber pumped up this is it i'm gonna stab the whole world if you so much as point a stick at me man. Imagine yourself about to storm a position, you have the bayonet fitted, you throw a frag into the position, it goes off, you get up and charge, you reach the position and start hosing it down on full auto, you get a stoppage, you see an enemy move who is two feet away, what do you do next? Run away to fix your jam, attempt to fix the jam before he brings his weapon to bear or do you ram that pointy bit of metal into his rib cage 3 or 4 time? I know my answer, if your answer is any different from mine don't join the army, or play mil sims and tell me you know better than I do.

It makes me laugh to read all these comments about gore etc, wtf do you think happens in real life, aren't simulators supposed to be real? I'm all for people loosing limbs etc, thats not glorifying war, thats bringing home harsh realities! Go ask a vet whos lost a limb if people should be shielded from the atrocities of war, I guess theyd say "hell let em all have a dose", at least politicians wouldn't be so naive about it all. As for rape etc, not so sure, depends upon the context and the way it's portrayed, if done correctly and isn't just porn, then maybe, it would be a case by case basis.

You could relive that scene from 28 weeks later....awesome

Bayonets are used by the military FULL STOP "ARMA IITM: ULTIMATE MILITARY SIMULATOR" Quote from back of box. Bayonets are being used on an almost daily basis in Afghanistan, right or wrong I don't care. If this is the ultimate mil sim, then bayonets need to be added PERIOD

works fine for me, nice addon:yay:

Sappers don't use iron sights any more, all Brits on ops use SUSAT. Other point for info is Sappers normally have the visor clips for mine visors, other than that the only thing you could put on his belt kit is a mine prodder. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/British-Army-Issue-Helmet-Visor-Helmet-Attachments_W0QQitemZ370247658301QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Collectables_Militaria_LE?hash=item56347aeb3d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_500wt_1182 http://www.abprecision.co.uk/EOD/EOD_mine_prodder.htm http://www.eliteukforces.info/images/24-commando-regiment.jpg although the numpty has his trf on the wrong arm you can see his Susat.

My Squad like to keep it real, and I would like to produce a mission where by they experience the In-Direct Fire (IDF) that I did in Iraq. To that end I need to place a radar unit of some sort in a Forward Operating Base (FOB) and have a pre recorded sound play when it sees mortars or rockets being launched at the FOB giving between 8 to 9 seconds for persons to take cover. Bearing in mind I'm no script kiddie, if you have a solution could you please explain each part of the script in detail so that I can learn from your help. Thank you in advance for any help or advice offered.

Stalker, You have my support and best wishes. BTW the mod looks fucking a1, can't wait for it to be released. Hope your feeling better soon. P.S. The biggest travesty would be to let all your hard work go to waste.

Placebo, you cryptic git :) So when is it coming?:p

Can anyone give me a script that I can initiate by trigger that acts as a trip flare?
