    But even when you're working as a team it's very likely that you're still going to die in a game-world as dynamic as Arma 2's.

    yeah but if you have like us people who work as a team ie you have an assault element and a covering element, air support there is always someone who is available to pick you up we had a fair few pubbers on last night who enjoyed it this way and they even thanked us for it as well.

    I suppose its just what your personal preferences are when your looking for realistic tactical play and thats how we like to roll sure some people were put off but the majority enjoyed playing this way.

    Say what? That's over 23 minutes of waiting! :eek:

    I get the idea of promoting teamwork, but 23 minutes... That would just promote boredom. Especially in a game mode like Domination...

    Its only boring if you die hence working as a team means sticking together covering each others backs and like the wookie said get on comms its a hell of a lot easier to work as a team.

    TF BLack Jack thanks for the post we always aim to help members of JSOC although sometimes not to everyones liking. If your ever looking for a game or need help you know where to find us.

    As for the 10th SFG we currently are looking for potential recruits to join our unit, i aint going to kid around and say send us an app and your in there is a deep process to go through first including time as a candidate then time as a trainee. But if you put the effort in you will find yourself part of one of the best units out there.

    We are currently putting together a few campaigns for us and members of JSOC to go and pit our wits and tactics against. All made by our inhouse mission makers. We also have some of the best addon makers working alongside a few of our unit on some addons for the 10th and other JSOC units.

    So if you think you would like to know more either PM me, hop onto our website or jump on our TS3 ts.jsoc-gamer.org port 9988 and have a chat with some of our operators.

    I was wondering if there are any british/UK units out there that fulfil a special forces role, mechanized infantry or air assault role. I have experience in the upper echelons of units and also reallife experience as well. I dont mind starting off as a grunt but that is not where my heart sits its at the fore of the fighting leading from the front.

    If any one can help me i would appreciate it im 25 and have been in American units a fair while now and i have enjoyed it but obviously i want a change.

    heres the thing most servers out there are ran by units/clans/communities whatever you want to call them if you see a few people on there and try to join and get booted head to the website of that unit/clan/commuinity and get the comms system they use TS3/2 vent whatever and ask this is not hard to do im only 6 months into PC gaming and i didnt find it hard because i wasnt scared in asking for help. rather than posting such a stupid post as saying YOU CANT PLAY THIS GAME IN MULITPLAYER which if he went CAN SOMEONE HELP ME IM HAVING TROUBLE FIGURING OUT THE MULTIPLAYER he would of had a lot less negative comments.

    WOW so you insult people for their style of play now well thats one way to get noticed.

    They play the game for its realism aspects and yes a lot of them are service/ex-service men/women stick to your OFP my freind if you feel this way. I never said ARMAII was perfect theres always something that can be done to every game to make it better for me and a majority of the community the game works fine and with the MODs that are released by the great guys in this community really help the game out as well.

    If it is such a fail as a game please tell me as to why the Project Reality team have decided to work with it. so there is obviously something there that people like.

    This game before release was advertised as a realistic milsim game which as standard it was OK but wasnt realistic in any way really, and before you start mouthing off about if you want realism join the army i did 7 years service in the british armed forces with multiple tours in Iraq/Afghanistan accumalating to probably 5 years of my service. im off on my last deployment this friday actually before i leave the forces for good.

    But as i was saying the game wasnt cutting it really but with them allowing the community, and there is a big community out there you just aint looking in the right places, to modify the game it has brought it on in leaps and bounds. The biggest one is ACE2 this Mod has made the game what it should of been out the box, and before anyone says its a pain in the ass to install it took me two minutes to get it downloading through YOMAs ADDON SYNC (a great tool if ya ask me) and after a hour or so i was rocking round in our server with ACE yes it was a pain to begin with with all the updates but it was a beta so that was to be expected now it has a stable release.

    JSOC our unit umbrella always have people on one of the servers be it 10th/20th SFG, 1st ID, USSOCOM.

    Like someone stated always do research on a game before you spend money on it, this game for those who dont really play these games are not really good for the arcade COD type run and gun players (im not dissing COD heck i play it sumtimes), If you have questions ask, the community is here for a reason and that is to help new players who are struggling with the game all the units out there are very helpful and i personally have spent a lot of time with new people who try to join our server and have something not working right or something and they hop on our comms and ask for help.

    IF YOU DONT ASK FOR HELP YOU WILL NOT GET IT ESPECIALLY IF YOU START DISSING THE COMMUNITY WHO THE MAJORITY WORK AND PUT A LOT OF TIME WHICH THEY DONT GET PAID FOR INTO THE MODS/MISSIONS YOU SEE IN THIS GAME.

    So i suggest go reinstall your game try and get in touch with someone and they will give you a helping hand.

    How will PR fix his broken installation? :confused:
    It wouldn't have broken it in the first place :)

    Right now he needs to reinstall it and follow a tutorial on how to install all those mods ACE CBA etc etc etc.

    P.S @Magnum0311 are you using the modified shortcut that six updater provided?

    @User my freind ACE has not broken anybodies game i personally and ill say 90% of people have had no trouble with it, yes early on there were a few stumbling blocks but what do you expect for a BETA mod as big as ACE2 is, it would never be perfect they will always find something to make it better thats the whole point of it.

    Sickboy or anyone for that matter, the interaction key ok is fine but it will not map to any of my other keys it stays at my left windows all the time, a few members of the 10th SFG have no function with the window keys and when they remap the keys in the config it still wont recognise the key they mapped it to.

    I was wondering has anyone else had this problem or is there a ticket already up that i havent seen (i check regulary but i do miss some stuff they act upon quickly).

    Cheers for the hard work lads,

    I was just wondering if anyone was working on an Early Warning System for Arma 2 aircraft? For ex, a 'lock tone' when an enemy aircraft or AAA has you locked up, and then a 'lock/buzz tone' after they fire. It is simply too unrealistic that enemy fighters are able to lock and fire without you knowing about it. I'd even be fine with a random system that only alerts you to maybe 4 out of 5 locks. This would be a huge enhancement to the Arma air experience.

    Mando missiles does that mate have a look at it.

    Iv searched low and wide and cant find the answer.

    I have a gather intel action on a crashed huey to remove the blackbox, what i need is that once the intel has been gathered by the player and the hint has shown i need the trigger to active a create/setmarkerpos.

    iv already used the create/setmarkerpos on act line before so all i need is the on act for the gather intel to activate the trigger

    Here is the remove blackbox action

    this addAction ["Remove Blacbox", "Intel1.sqs", 0, 0, true, true, "", "(!(captive _target) && (alive _target) && (alive _this))"];

    pls help me.

    The WAH-64 (modified by AugustaWestland) always carries its longbow radar system as daniel said its terrain mapping capabilities really help during the infrequent sandstorms/fog encountered by our pilots out in Afghanistan.

    As i beleive from a freind over in the US who works on these beautiful bits of machine, the US usually deploys 2xAH-64s and 1xAH-64D also usually with a OH-58 Kiowa scout as the longbow and the kiowa can designate targets for the 2 standard apaches these guys pop up fire then drop and are in danger for a matter of seconds.

    But what i would love to see is the WAH-64 actually implemented so that you can tell the better power capability of its engines so more fuel, better speeds and actually having the different rocket options open like the flechettes.
