I'm new to ArmA but a vastly experienced gamer and I am working my way through the missions in Operation Arrowhead. To say that it's a bit overwhelming is an understatment. But I am willing to learn and hone my skills so I can have the same experience with the game you veterns do. That said, I have a couple questions (I'm sure more will come):
1) I'm in my tank as the commander and one of my retarded squad mates in another vehicle crashes (sent him ahead to scout, he runs over a pile of rocks instead of going AROUND it and flips - oww, I'm injured, help me). I pull up, exit my vehicle and kick him right where it hurts. Can't call a medic so I turn to re-enter my tank and - WTF? - it moves away from me. I move towards it - it moves away. I go the opposite direction - it follows me. It's like a bad dog - it stays just out of reach. I can't get in MY OWN TANK! Am I making some sort of newbit mistake?
2) I'm on the helicopter training and I can't controll nose up/down with my mouse (Microsoft Sidewinder). The nose will move up/down but won't stay put - it goes back to level. If I use the keyboard it seems I have to rapidly tap-dance the w/s keys to even remotely have a prayer of maintaing attitude. With auto-hover on I can move to my checkpoints but trying to land is giant fireball. So - any suggestions on my mouse issue? I'll never survive any missions at this rate.
