Awesome "support" BI.Having played around some more it seems it's not even possible to use the choppers do do anything useful for Razor team. If I board, then tell it to go somewhere it just overflies the place. If I make the waypoint an "Unload" waypoint nothing different happens. In fact the only way I can seem to make it land is to tell my squad to disembark. Then the pilot suddenly cottons onto the fact that disembarking troops really don't want to get out at 80 odd feet. I, myself, can't order the chopper to land though.
Conversely, if I ask the chopper to fly to us it remains airbourne. The only way I can get it down is to ask my team to board it. Then I have to make sure I'm quick to get onboard because it lifts as soon as the Razor team members are onboard. I don't seem to count!!
What gives?
Those are some great tips!!
Thank you!

Sometimes in the campagin when i save my game i get CTD and a message saying to many Virtual blocks requested. I have no clue what that means. Anyone??PC:

Win7
Thanks
You're using the maxmem command, right?
Stop using it...
-
Can you use the MEU units to transport you to the island?
I boarded one of the M60's but now I can't get it to land on the island....
-
Apart from obvious bugs, I'm very comfortable with the ironsights/scopes...
-
As most engagements are made at long ranges... at least longer than knifes are useful for, I see no need for melee combat.
Same reason for why there's no CQB....
-
If your support chopper that you use to ferry you around is destroyed....I don't suppose there is anything you can do aside from a reload?Or from then on do you just have to tab everywhere? Or procure transport of your own in the form of a car or something?
Cheers :)
If you're talking of Single Player, yes there are lots of alternative methods of transportation.....

There's a wonderful thread in this section called something like "Weapon ranging and correction tables"...
It's one of the best works I've seen... great props for the creator, Daniel_Malloy!
In there you can find all the info you need... including how to use the scopes and how to use it for effect. All in a downloadable PDF.
It shouldn't be buried to deep... first pages 3 or 4 pages of the general section...
But to answer your question those are mil-dots.
EDIT: Here it is, didn't want anyone to miss it... it should be sticked imo!
-
The CTDs are probably because of a known issue....
In High Command mode if you press the "2" key, the game CTDs.
I usually get 10+ crashes during a mission because of this.... I'm so used to using the "2" key for scanning for enemies, that I forget I'm in HC mode...
-
I have a different question related to Dogs of War. Is it possible to buy other equipment then weapons? One serious example: since the mission is starting almost before the sunset and team Razor hasn't been equipped with binoculars or nvgoggles, how am I supposed to see in the darkness?See the NVgoggles thread...
Some useful tips there....
And yes, you can buy that equipment from the weapons menu... just not in this mission.

;1406493']Hi' date=' you can also just buy a pilot at your main base and order him to drop his nvgoggles.[/b'] Than you can take them and repeat for whoever you want them to. Than you can use those "blind" pilots to ust reinforce some expendable AI group. I myself bought them some fancy static defences and let them guard the base, as it gets quite hot sometimes there and im usually far away to give a dam...That was a great tip!!
I was having a hard time finding the NVs... now towns sell it, no officers killed....
-
Ask for a SITREP.I'm talking about HC teams....
How do you know the composition of the other teams?
-
Build a Light Factory... get some DBMs 3 or 4 is enough... and roll!
-
2. I've made a thread in the troubleshooting section on that bug I encountered during Badlands... sometimes I still forget about it... and there I go CTDing.
5. Logistic gives more money from transport trucks... Defense invests that money into defensive structures...
Ideally, the farther away from the front a town is, the more logistic it should provide...
In the other hand, a town which is close to the line of combat should have it's defense value maxed...
6.
You can select the groups with the F1-F12 keys... don't know if that answers your question though...
I also would like all those questions answered....
Lots of doubt flying around.
EDIT: About Razor, just leave them in the HQ as soon as you can afford more troops.... that's what I did in Badlands!
-
Unless you build the required structures... which I am almost certain you can only build on HQs....
So I guess my answer is no...
-
How do you see who's on other units?
Is there some sort of way I can tell, without actually seeing them, which elements are in a unit?
-
Don't know if it's content related, but it's a bug:
Ignore the 1st post!

Regarding bullet impacts - I find it a problem over very long shots (long range sniper shots). Often I don't see the puff of dust where my bullet (should have) landed. I have a good graphics card (ATI 4890) but I can't set my view distance any higher than about 2500 or the FPS get too low to play. I haven't bothered experimenting to see if longer view distance will resolve it.As for tracers - not sure. They seem random but I haven't paid much attention.
Yeah, that happens.... no smokeys for some extremely long range shots..
My 2 cents is that on they don't penetrate whatever they're hitting... try with the M107 and see if you get that many non-smokers.... my guess is you won't!

At least put up a spoiler warning....

You liked OFP?
Then you will like Arma2.... period!
It's still bugged, but still worth the effort... and as in OFP you know the game WILL improve over time.
I bought OFP and played it several years... even after the game was long gone the campaign was well worth it.
In Arma2 the campaign (so far, haven't finished it yet) is inferior... but in comparison to OFP there are literally TONS of user made missions... there's also a working online mode....
And there's the editor...
There's always something that defined OFP.... and is something other games only scratch.... it's called REALISM.
In Arma2 there is realism... at least more than in any other game.
There's also a HUGE WORLD to explore and take advantage!
No set mission, no set scenario.... you can play every mission and always have different experiences!

I only find it spooky when the Evil Monkey is sneaking through my closet door....

Did you use Win update?
If you did... you may have a virus...
Using winupdate without a firewall is a big no no!
Just an advice!
Saving issue
in ARMA 2 & OA - TROUBLESHOOTING

I asked, because the only times I had that issue was during the time I had the maxmem command line... 2 crahses in about 4 or 5 days of gamming.
After removing it, the crashes stoped.
