as a combat vet...i'm not going to get in the prone unless i am actually getting shot at or I'm trying to ambush someone. the best cover you have is your rifle. nor am i going to say "hey there is a bad guy" ... then shoot.

why is it that the AI does not use the MK19 grenade launcher properly? I am sure BIS has glanced at the manual in how to properly operate the weapon. Apparently the AI don't know what they are doing. I love watching my humvee or AAV just sit there staring at an enemy tank and not firing. IF a tank pulls up you let loos with that weapon system. also why do they fire one round at an enemy? Neg you use that full burst. the MK19 is a man killer.

nope they are good you just need some practice. i've hit a moving player directly with a grenade before ;). in real life you can't adjust the range settings. There is a type of optic they use in real life but it was useless and just added more weight to the weapon. also it was plastic and it would break.

yeah...:( my hearing in real life is pretty bad now hahaha.

having served in Iraq and performing combat operations back in 2005. it's a heck of allot easier to shoot someone in real life than in the game...simply because you are in control. and by the way i was using iron sites too. you don't have that muscle memory like you do in real life. one thing is to note however is that I'm not going to stand there and hold a 240G at the ready. not going to happen. though one thing i like about arma II the guns don't make my ears ring and hot brass getting thrown at my face from the guy shooting next to me.

when you buy your AI set it up so they form a proper fire team. Fire Team Ready Assist. rifleman - fire team leader - automatic rifleman - rifleman. I usually use AT infantry but if set it up that way you will increase the death dealing capacity of your fire teams. always always try and have a vehicle providing over watch for your infantry. if they spot something, that vehicle will shoot at it from afar. example a tow system can reach out past 3 k. (not sure if it can in game but in RL it can lol) If you are leading a convoy of trucks to deal with a town. recon it with your binos and spot as much as you can before you command your trucks to move in. you should see a pretty light show as they tear up the town.

Thanks BI!!!!!!

after I start arma2co and click on expansions tab...it shows that i have two copies of arma2 now O_o only one has a sig the other is blank......maybe it has something to do with BE not working.

I agree, That would be one heck of an interesting campaign. I'm American BTW and i would kill for BIS to come out with something like that.

should be USA VRS Canada!!!!! :D Some of my ideas: *a scenario similar to the Falkland war but leaning heavily towards amphibious operations. (puts those snorkels to use on those tanks.) *fighting the growing terrorist threat in Somalia. involving mostly special operations and some ship raids out at sea. *Israel fighting Iran with support from NATO. Iran would also receive support from Russia. *another conflict erupting between Georgia and Russia.

maybe battleye is just crap and we should use something else.

I have windows vista 64bit same problem here with steam.

I hate grenades. the problem in real life there is a chance you get a bad batch of grenades that will cook off in 1 second instead of 5. I had a few of these in Iraq and luckily never had to use them or i would probably not be talking to you today. if you want to clear a house use a mk19 or throw smoke grenades to suffocate them to death.

in training i can load those rpgs twice as fast then they can in game and shoot them. The Javilin missile system needs the top down and direct attack modes. I'm not sure if i am allowed to give the maximum ranges for the javilins and tow weapons systems so i will not. Yes you can shoot a javelin in the prone in RL wire guided systems should have the random event of just slamming into the ground in front of you or flying off into space. (especially after driving over rough terrain)

Has anyone noticed that the original CTI missions tend to be better then the warfare missions you see most of the time on servers? There are a few issues such as if you are commander and you build defenses they will not be automatically filled with AI, you have to build them yourself. I also think the view distance is not fixed but i could be wrong. There are plenty of minor issues that kinda make me go to warfare for multiplayer. The AI in the original missions seem to be much more effective also then warfare. I think the people hosting CTI should give the original CTI missions a shot again.

The answer: you need to go inside that blue triangle (hanger) at the airfield. you can see the blue triangle on the map. from there you can buy your fixed wing aircraft.

FUN fact for all of you. The U.S. military is trained to use the TOW weapon system to shoot down helicopters. Also the Tow's thermal sight sees shades of red, not black and white. The Javelin you see in shades of green.

Not exactly true if the commander is smart. A trick I do is set up a base in the mountains somewhere. build a bunch of AA/AT around it on top of the mountains covering the avenues of approach. Then set up spotters to pick up enemy targets for the AA/AT. usually the enemy wont even have a clue as to what happened. also make sure all your units are set up to watch a specific direction.

have anyone ever fired both rifles in real life? I have. The m16 can accurately (point target) hit a target out to 500meters. while the Ak is 300meters. The ak has a tiny buttstock that feels better suited for children then for a grown adult. Also the recoil will be worse then the m16 because the m16 was specificaly designed to kick up, not side to side or down. hence the muzzle break design on the ak is to compensate for that side to side motion. On top of even that the AK heats up so hot after firing a few magazines that you have to ware gloves to shoot the thing. and yes i'm refering to the 7.62 round when i'm talking about the ak.

well we were playing warfare and some haxor got on it. screen turned black and a message appeared saying you got pwnd frs muhahahahaha. then the server shut down -_-

well who ever gets control of the air first should win. opfor might be a bit underpowered but you need to get those jets in the air to take down those bloody Apaches.

why can't they just put in some real crappy grass for distance stuff like DF2? sure if you use a scope it will appear in nice detail but I don't see the point in only rendering grass in a scope when you can see them from far off. well I know they are behind this bit of grass so I'll shoot at it.

just to bring to light the only defense against missiles the t90 has is the IR emmiter it uses to jam thermal sights. the Tow2 and the Javelin both have a way to defeat this easily. easily as in it's like putting on a pair of shades when it gets bright out.

shielka or zsu-23-4. why does the military want me to call it zsu-23-4 and not just shielka I do not know

first it's not a cow, second nothing is made perfect. In iraq we had to give up our grenades because of a bad batch. It so happens it had a 1-3 second fuse. either way I think my hand would of blown off if I used it. also don't pop the spoon before you throw.
