Serious injuries (graphic) - gore/violence
Ulanthorn replied to Michaelp800's topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I think a better surrender module is of much more importance than any gore factor in a military game. Nothing can slow you down better than surrendering enemy Forces and that's just a factor that is as real and neglected in games as Gore...but of more importance if you want things to be kept real. -
No counter against taking fire in the air!
Ulanthorn replied to iWoundPwn's topic in ARMA 3 - BETA DISCUSSION
Because on the ground those "pilots" usually turned into "AT missile sniper saboteurs", very common in CTI and quite annoying. I fact it would be even more of an improvement if you could not board any vehicle crew seat with a secondary weapon at all. -
So it is year 2035 and no Exoskeleton (Human Universal Load Carrier) yet ?
Ulanthorn replied to pawelkpl's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
Don't forget jetpacks and nuclear grenades. To be serious...just look at how much experimental stuff was developed and scrapped after WW2. Western Armies today basically use the same stuff as back in the 80's, the only real difference is the wider spread of NVGs and heavier body armour and the use of 5.56x45. The rest is just fancy BDU cuts, fancy camo pattern and MOLLE that might let you look more modern but technically is nothing but a fashion trend. -
Will there be rivers in Arma 3?
Ulanthorn replied to Eagle 3's topic in ARMA 3 - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I would better not count on a ArmA IV. -
Additionally it would be very nice when the NVG would need a few seconds to have full light amplification, at least the models I know of needed some time to show the full bright image...the higher the generation the shotr it taks but a minimum of 4 seconds is still reasonable.

I think you don't get my thoughts right. I did never wrote that 431 is censored, no the problem is much bigger. Im 40 Years old by know and I can remeber that we used to have much more personal FREEDOM in many, many aspects pf life...but it by it the government, federal institutions and federad agencies AND the EU chew that freedom away bit by bit. Just ti life the life my grandpa did until he died in 1987 would be ILLEGAL by now...that's a hard fact. It feels to my that our governtmant AND the opposition both use 451 and 1984 as a template how they want societey to function. That the whole point in my 451 reference. by the way...a government that hs Secrets is a burocracy not a democracy becaue keeping secrets deny the public ability to develop a advanced opinion. Without a advanced opinion you fall victim to propaganda and currently the propaganda you see from the "Western Alliance" surpassed that from the old "Warsaw Block" in brainwashing capability.

No, it is just a template how europe is ruled. the censored book which are cofiscated whenever found for various reasons are all military and paramilitary teaching books fpr guelilla warfare written in the 40's and up to the 60's....like this one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TM_31-210_Improvised_Munition_Handbook or this one http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_totale_Widerstand and a lot more.A few years ago those books where just banned from public but legal to own, but now aftr 9/11 this books are conficated (and burned?) whenever found.
-
Read (or watch) this too. It is a quite more modern adoption of the topic and closer to what we face since 9/11. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451It is indeed hard to get your hands on some books by now in a lot of nations. (including Germany)

Thermal imaging is not as crisp and clear as you see it in games, thge further away and the more humidity or fog the more the picture gets blurry. at 2000m you might be already unable to get a clear identification of the object simply vecause you only see a heat splotch that only shows the class of the vehicle...not the type. It might be hard to tell a BMP from a Bradley. the less distortion and particles in the air the better the image. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/4842823915_37e4c57271.jpg (117 kB)

DayZ website down, how can I update?
Ulanthorn replied to unbreakable's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: DISCUSSION
DayZ site is still down from last hacker attack, will be back soon. -
DayZ mod and website does not seem to exist anymore

a modern Radar need processing time and focus to identify a target...that's not a instant thing and a Radar can't scan 360° while it locks something the same time. While I never worked the Longbow Radar I have some time with the PARA-RASIT System and I still tend to say Radar is no Magic thing that lets you see all...it is especially troublesome in build up area with lots of buildings made from dense material like concrete or bricks like it is common in europe. A tank platoon in Position near a small village of 2 Story brick buildings is basically hidden the Radar clutter so you need FLIR.

There is a dedicated thred to CCP changes in betas. You can deativate all this changes by settting autoguide AT to "on" in veteran mode. The changes are meant for multiplayer matches since tab locking makes such matches quite dull with vehicles. Tab lock males a BMP-2 as advanced as a Warrior II. The chnages in FLIR were made according to the informations available what colour the Screen in the vehicles has...FLIR colour is simply dependend on the Screen and green is used mostly for Gunner FLIR in armoured vehicles all around NATO at least.

Request - All in one showcase mission

Make it on your own, that's why the game comes with a powerfull editor. -
ARMA 2: OA beta build 77159
Ulanthorn replied to AnimalMother92's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - BETA PATCH TESTING
contrary I like that I don't have to oder them into combat mode when in danger...The covering is better than just standig around upright and beeing sniped away one after the other. In combat you better exspect the worst case, thats what is taught RL too. Sudden Death comes over you when you're at ease. -
It's a simple fact that MBTs are not the ruling Weapons system anymore. This type of warfare was already abandoned in the 90's and since this decade there is a tendency back to mobile infantry and more powerfull IFV...some of them that powerfull that they can fullfill the tank hunter role. IFV are more versatile and fit the needs of a army with global force projection to empower national interest wherever needed much better as 60+ MBTs.

There is already a thread in the forum and a ticket to this issue.

The latest 1.57 patch has this in its readme: Add: camo (replaceable textures) selections for M2A2/3. How is this done in editor? Someone already made a woodland M113 Addon just using this without any modded data. So how is it done with the Bradleys?
-
In fact it this way since armed assault. Operation Flashpoint: resistance had the holstering feature for all weapons including handguns. The Request is so old like Armed Assault.
-
Please keep in mind...a loader (and I had been one) CANT keep up the same loading rate over time...the first five maybe faster...but after 10 rounds loaded the fire rate will decrease significantly. A loader is a human beeing, not a mashine and it is not that easy to load the thing while it is driving...the loader beeing faster as an autoloader is on paper only. The newer Leopards have a loading support device...practically a loader operated autoloader.
-
Note: the G3 is not fully replaced it is still in service and in stock. A slightly refitted version with aimpoint or scope is in use as "battle rifle" and marksman rifle in A-stan right now like the M-14 in the US-Forces.http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Bundeswehr_sniper_in_Chahar_Darreh.jpg&filetimestamp=20101108210611

It did, just here and before your eyes!

Leopard II and M1Abrams do not use the same gun anymore. The L44 (M256) was replaced with the 1 m longer L55 and new DM53 Amunition giving it a penetration in excess of 1200mm RHA and longer ranges.
