Best Wasteland version by far. Such a shame it's only on a handful of servers. I encourage all hosts to switch to Sa Matra as it's 1,000 more fun. Keep up the good work.

Well I used a green camo M1A1 Abrams tank (the one from Arma 2) in the editor and it does have thermal sights. It's an Arma 2 vehicle so I assume other Arma 2 vehicles can be given the same treatment.

Awesome, as long as they have thermal imaging then that's fine.

I already own 2 copies of arrowhead. But OA doesn't have LAV-25s, Cobras, T-90s, etc . I guess a work-around would be for someone to make an LAV-25/Cobra/T-90 mod for OA with working thermal imaging.

Well, if said addon required the client to own both Arma 2 and Arrowhead then it would be fine yes? Basically the addon would only work with combined ops.

This is a addon request; Is anyone considering giving Arma 2 vehicles thermal imaging? The current stock of T-90 tanks should have thermal cameras; "Early models of the T-90 were equipped with the TO1-KO1 BURAN sight but later models (T-90S) were upgraded to use the ESSA thermal imaging sight, which allows for accurate firing to a range of 5000–8000 m using the CATHERINE-FC thermal camera produced by Thales Optronique". I was thinking there are many vehicles like the T-90, AH-1 Cobra, Ka-52, LAV-25 etc that should have thermal imaging sights. Perhaps even some of the Arma 2 rifles and guns should have thermal optics as well? Does anyone know of a mod or is working on a mod that will do this? EDIT; Zeroing all scoped/sniper weapons in Arma 2 and zeroing vehicle guns would be nice as well. This feature works so well in Arrowhead and a port over to Arma 2 would be great.

So in that case. Arma 2 wasn't realistic at all. Because I could drive just as aggresivley in that without any trouble.

Tried launching Arrowhad in 'combined operations'. A command promt window opend for a second and then nothing happened. This 'fix' hasn't worked for me.

lol off-topic much?

To add to this discussion; it seems like other vehicles also suffer from excessive bouncy-ness. Driving over bumps will fling the vehicle into the air and make it do barrel rolls. Happend in strykers and a BMP. It just feels like Arrowhead has the gravity turned waaay down. It was never like this in Arma 2.

Oh Dev Heaven deals with vanilla Arma issues? I've only used it for bug reporting in ACE.

Bump. Anyone noticed this?

The ATVs in A.C.E 2 were fantanstic. Did you ever try them?

Well I think my first post wasn't clear. I'm not hitting obstacles. Not bushes or rocks. Just lighly undulating terrain.

Playing Domination, driving the Stryker MHQ around the deserts. I was taking damage as I drove over bumpy terrain (not from collisions, just driving around). I eventually died without warning as I'd been taking damage as I drove. Unless you are on roads, you'd better have a medic on standby when using a stryker. Additionally, the Strykers armour doesn't stop small arms fire. I was taking some M4 fire from team mates and was killed. And yet the vehicle remained fully functional, as if I had been shot out of the driving seat. This happened a few times.:confused: The Stryker should have a bulletproof ceramic skin to protect from these threats, but the ones in Arrowhead do not.
