    dear naivety :rolleyes:

    is a medium tank and not light.and...is the biggest ***amphibious*** vehicle avaible today.it has a 105 mm cannon(enough to kill or disable everything)and since is lighter than normal tank it has a max speed of 85 and autonomy of 1000km.that means is a beast and pretty much the best on his category.can be transported by c130.

    Way to be a jackass. Darkhorse said that because your post is fairly ambiguous as to what you want, a link to some information along with the video would improve your chances of seeing somebody making.

    Insulting the person who's attempting to help your request does the opposite.

    "Your post is just spam..." if that's help, he can have it.

    and now your over the top saying its an "ambiguous post" in his defense.

    ambiguous in what sense? its a helicopter- i dont want just the sound- i dont want just the pilots, dont want part of the helicopter- i want the whole thing.

    theres a link to a helicopter- its badass, i want it.

    crystal clear enough sunshine?

    and links? most people don't even post any with their request, now youre soloing me out because i only posted one?

    you both got issues that are beyond me, i posted a request that was far from instigating anything towards ANYONE, so back the ---- up.

    edit: i checked out the link again and to add insult to injury, you were confused with my link how? the TITLE of the video is "India's New Attack Gunship"

    Hi Vilas!

    Thanks for the post. The AK has been left untouched from our ArmA 1 release. I assume, what you are referring to is the Chinese made Type 56 Assault Rifle (buldozer shot) which was copied from the Russian AK-47. It had a stamped receiver and a permanent (cruciform) bayonet. The color of the wood is a bit lighter (name escapes me right now; type of wood that China uses) than that of the Russian cousin because that is the type of wood that the Chinese had to work with when they copied the AK. So it is going to be lighter in color...

    We are planning on having multiple types of AKs and CT56s in the next release. To have JUST the AK-47 would not be accurate or as eventful.

    Thanks for staying on top of us! :butbut:

    i own a chinese made SKS, or type 56 as you put it(among many other firearms in my collection) and if you guys need pictures from any certain angle that you cant find online just give me a shout

    also looking forward to the m-14 more so than the m-16, my old man was issued one in basic, and had it while he served in nam

    ;1622975']As a former officer i say no real world conection at all...

    Only thing i would recomend is leadershiptraining.

    Maybe some logistics but other then that..Nope..

    "doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures during squad and platoon offensive, defensive, and patrolling operations."

    but id agree its far from immersive, and lacking so many things(not complaining)- it is afterall just a game

    i find radio chatter to be highly inappropriate because modern radio headsets reduce the static and volume of the communication so that the soldiers can hear them individually.

    they will not be broadcast over the woods like a walkie-talkie worn by security guards. immersion killer.

    Negative, its all sent out the same, all radio frequency's follow the same law.(you can have higher and lower, but they have auto frequency things on them now, radio towers in the 30 used to distort the molecules around it, would look fuzzy when they were transmitting) not to mention the difference between AM and FM is just the frequency's.

    they have some newer satcom(satellite comms) stuff, but for the most part, lots of comms are still radio. and you cant hide frequency's ;]

    so, immersion killer? Nah, get your facts straight.

    edit:i havent tested this, read people saying the volume should be lower for when youre talking.

    well no, you shouldnt have ANY incoming frequency's while sending out transmissions, when you talk it should cut out all radio chatter. youre either sending or receiving

    Please don't talk rubbish, especially when by your own admission, you have no actual experience with SLI.

    Everything you have said above is flat-out wrong, from scaling to being able to use DX11 if you use a DX10 card for PhysX with 4xx series cards (PhysX is not tied to DirectX). You can even use ATI's 5xxx series cards in conjunction with an Nvidia DX10 card for PhysX (with the hack) while running DX11.

    Too many people read reviews/articles on the net and take it as gospel. In most cases, unless you have actual experience, it's best not to offer advice. Anyone can read reviews and regurgitate the information however wrong it may be.

    PS : PhysX is only used to any great effect in about 3 games so it's really a non issue and Metro 2033 is the only game that uses PhysX and DX11 at present.

    id like to also add his PSU remark was complete bs as well, im running sli with a 750watt.

    First link shows part of what looks like a prototype. The dashboard and the rest have been changed in the pics namman found. The 2nd link shows something that isn't an RG-33, and it doesn't show seating or radios, radio mounts etc.- just 3 stretchers.

    just linking usable references- or by all means let namman use the ones he found.

    edit:ignore me if i come off abrasive

    Hi, you could also add some sensor cells, they don't look that bad with 'em, something like this:

    wip_m1911_30_04_09b.jpg

    Let's C ya

    the sensor cells would look better if they were scaled smaller(so theres more of them) and made more transparent(so although theres more, its not taking attention away from the main fov)

    Pre-911 - Military didn't really care about tactical ladders.

    Post 911 - Took some growing pains, like ladders made out of wood that broke and fell apart when a fully kitted guy climbed on it.

    To where the military is now, tactical ladders of all shapes and sizes. Obviously they are used in urban areas, mainly for roof top teams or climbing teams. Whether is was sniper overwatch or a roof entry team, many types of ladders were used. Buildings with walls around the main house were secured by guys using short ladders to get their weapon over the wall so they could clear the courtyard.....like what is typically found in Iraq & Afg.

    Little Giant ladders were also used to scale spans from one roof top to another. Break the Little Giant ladder into 2 pieces and 2 guys carried it.

    Some guys even made these foam hook that velcro'd into the shoulder strap of the body armor shell that they hung light weight ladders on which made it much easier to carry.

    I think the ladder script is an excellent idea!

    i was going to say that tactical ladder is nothing more than a little giant knockoff, or vice versa, but youve beat me to it

    Indeed.

    Future of Arma 2 is going to be very bright with the release of Operation arrowhead.

    2 new islands (3 maybe unconfirmed)

    New factions, tons of new vehicles and weapons

    FLIR/ lasers PEQ flashlights

    rucksacks and backpacks

    Dynamic Town generation

    New Rebuilt sound engine

    Performance and optimization(s)

    Better voice overs and AI talking system

    Vehicle countermeasures

    Maybe the release of the 3D editor

    New Mp modes and new SP campaigns and scenarios

    Im probably missing a shit ton of features still

    I really cant figure out how BIS pulls it off, and the previews from all the Press seems excellent.

    GO Bohemia Interactive! :dancehead:

    Arma 2 has a hidden 3d editor as it is, at the main menu press Alt+E

    and yeah all that stuff does sound awesome, cant wait

    My dear boy Vick you should know your facts before you go on and on.

    1. The part of BOHEMIA that makes the software programs for government contracts is not the same section of the company that makes ARMA did you know that. If you know anything about business budgets and profits are not shared:eek:.

    2. Yes BOHEMIA does have a working version with some issues right now. This is a fact. You are right somethings would need to be limited but the overall gameplay could still be the same. That is the point any ARMA game will still be better then all the other FPS on the console if you wanted this type of gameplay. You don't have to play a console game you have your PC version. The truth is you and all the other PC players are very scared about a working copy for the console because you think bohemia will see the light and make bigger profits with a console game and will turn away from the pc market the is the bottom line for all the hate.

    3. You right most console games get old real fast and the new big game comes out most of the people move on. The potential for BOHEMIA to make money on download content is unlimited with new armys,weapons,vehicles ect. This game will never get old because of this as well as ARMA is more designed for COOP PLAY and with the mission editor unlimited. Yes the PC has all the community MOD's but this is not about the PC. This is about what the console market can give to BOHEMIA and what BOHEMIA can give to the console community.

    4. Nobody said consoles can outperform PC's. We all know PC's can handle a lot more but have some major downsides as well. ARMA2 on the PC has some major issues just look at the thread WHY THIS GAME IS NOT MORE POPULAR and you can see what some of the major issues are with ARMA on a PC for the community.:(

    5. FPS are played more on consoles and games will always sell more on a console then a PC if both are made. Just look how many OFPDR sold on the consoles it was more the ARMA2 for the PC and OFPDR was a incomplete game that did not work right from the start.:mad:

    6. If you think BOHEMIA does not want to make more money then you need to wake up. The problem with bohemia is they have a very small budget and never make that much money to really make ARMA games so much better. Don't get me wrong BOHMEIA is best but if they had real cash think what they can do with the next game engine and game. Why do you think the games are never completed when released. Why does the community need to fix as well as add major elements to the coregame LACK OF MONEY AND MAN POWER to get the job done the way it should be done. BOHEMIA does a great job with what they have to work with but think what kind of a game could be made if they had more money. :bounce3:

    7. ARMA game will never out sell a COD but who cares. It needs to sell better then it does just look at the numbers:cool:

    1. where do you think that budget comes from? thin air? its a big decision and alot of money. you throw it around loosely like its no big deal- and you can bet a predefined percentage of that profit goes back up the ladder.

    2. no facts all opinions, still null from your end

    3. you're arguing profits again - downloadable content would be easy for them to fill, and the editor would be well accepted sure - but to what end, we've already seen what happened with the previous go at it. short lived, to be expected with any console port. its happened well more than once.

    4. was giving facts to support what i said about the console not being able to have arma2 for what it is.

    5. fps are played more on it because consoles lack any real decent mmo(do they even have one?), rpg, rts, etc..

    6.firstly, you say theyre great- but previously claim they arent in the league with the 'big boys'

    and hurting for money? theres an interview somewhere, where someone said unless youre talking about trading into the oil industry he wont be selling out- made some farma jokes in it too, its out there somewhere.

    and 10years on the engine- with improvements along the way- regardless of man power they've had the time to make it work, and they have- game breaking bugs? never had any problem that deterred me from the game, ever, have played since launch.

    and you apparently dont know what greed is, its when you go from your needs to your wants- sure everybody wants(needs to for certain priorities in society) to make money- but as i stated greed is infact genetic(its a trait that can be passed on- gained and or lost), it can actually consume the decisions you make and for what reasons, subconsciously i believe, but it may dwell consciously, don't know, either wayyyy pushing the decision blindly to port it to the console in an attempt to make money off a bunch of ungrateful/disrespectful kids could be a bad option for the business.

    profits are the point of a business- but short term and long term need to be taken into effect-

    profits increase short term during launch- product flops, company loses pr- next game release- no profit, loss accumulated - etc etc

    or it could go the other way, and they make great sales but i just fail to see that happening.

    had to type all that out because you failed to see how greed can be bad for business, most people wouldn't argue that.

    and hate? i dont hate you for wanting a game, i think its human nature to be aggressive with disagreements- unless you're arguing with an apologist

    speaking of flops and bad pr, hows the other companys rep doing?lol. i know ill never spend one red cent on a product of theirs. same thing could very well happen all over again- the console just cant handle all of the elements that make arma 2 great.
