As long as TAB lock is there,playing OPFOR or BLUFOR won't make a difference in term of vehicles !

But it's also the least to have a feedback :D

It's a config problem that the dev doesn't want seemingly to fix until we find some source on the KH29L saying that when you lock a target ,the missile will hit it !

But BIS has its own indicators ... if DLCs are sold like cookies,then why not repeating the same stuff again and again ;)

No way ! for 15 m targets,you don't really need a crosshair ... maybe some huge crosshair that will be useless at long ranges . The current crosshair gives no advantage to a sniper against a guy with M16 at 700 m ... actually it makes no difference between a guy who played the game for 2 years and one who bought it yesterday ! in a situation in which the player should have some quick reaction,the guy who got used to play without it ,will have the reflex of shooting at the exact spot without switching to iron sight...

Actually,not only kh29 ... also ATTAKA . because they have just improved speeds and did nothing for maneuvrability !

As a website said,the best thing in this game is the installation process ...

Paying for the game is the best "thanks" i can give ... I think people are just getting too excited :p

Just want to say that 90 % of this community cries for extremly detailed scopes and some RTT solutions that will have performance impact ... Well,if done properly why not removing crosshairs at all difficulty levels !

Yes,preparing for an eventual Dollar collapse ... then they gonna use 100$ bills to heat up themselves !

I have a better one ,if your money doesn't have intrinseque value then you have nothing :D

Well,yes ... france just paid 5 milliards of $ to save DEXIA bank

Do you guys know that in France ,people started to rob butcheries and soldiers/policemen have 7 or 8 months non paid (salary) ^^ No guys,seriously ... you really think they're there to save people ? ^^ ,you really need to get out of the ArmA stuff to see what's really going on ,this is not a simple "Jackal ... give them hell !" I live in the area and i know the setting,but i will start with a bit of history : (All my statements can be verified if you use google correctly) The area (Mali,Niger and Algeria) is very rich when it comes to natural ressources,we're talking about huge mines of gold,silver and Uranium ... but still the population in the area is among the poorest (niger is the last one in the world) and people dont live more than 50 years in average ... The area also knows the expansion of big companies specialized in the extraction of fancy metals like Avera and as you can imagine a lot of people die in mines due to the conditions they work in during extraction process ,and meanwhile those companies pay presidents there to keep their mouth shut and dont even participate in any charity projects to help the population a bit (a real economic monster). Any president in Africa who had enough of this and tried to play it independant to make the people get profit from the country's wealth got assassinated : i can remind as an example President Lumoumba or Modibo Keita etc ... in Mali they removed this last guy and placed a puppet called Moussa Traoré who was a real dictator serving France's interests ... and paying Islamic Fanatics to shut their mouth too while the population is living a hopeless life ... Then came the Coup d'etat during which Moussa got removed by military guys and some elections were done,well let's say unfair elections ,population manifested against the results but ofcourse media-silence on the event and was never shown on TVs ...( Now , i need you to imagine the atmosphere,). In this chaos,people had to turn to someone and it was those fanatics in the north (which have been financed also by France to fight against Kaddafi earlier lol), so they took the area ... while in Bamako,there are manifestations against the war which media don't seem to cover ! This is where France intervened,in a cloud of huge propaganda which consists of hiding the real objectives,making of the apparent ennemy a huge monster ,monopolising the information (have you ever heard Aminata Traoré or Ouma Mariko talking on TV about the subject ?) and also asking the wrong questions like "Will Mali be another Iraq ?" and stuff like this, which is jumping over the real question "Was the military forces the only way to do it ?". The funny thing is that,countries like the Qatar who financed some special forces in Lybia to take down Kaddafi and is still financing separatist movements in the middle east and africa ! work hand in hand now with France and is supporting it in their actions there under the cover of war against terrorism ^^ USA is also in the game but on a higher level since they're making sure that chinese don't get in the area and "hijack" their profit by bringing their companies there ... and this is the exact reason why AFRICOM was created ! My country also lets the french planes to go over the territory and fly to there ... maybe,it has its share of the cake too since we have some serious economic problems too . Well,concerning algery ... after the death of the president you will see how things will go to chaos :D This is the new colonialism and countries exploitation,which started with Degaulle and the president of that period,that is the conitunuity of what we used to call enslaving ... the core is there it's just changing form to look beautiful for the audience which is naturally iconoclast and politicians know this very well. Well the story is as simple as the story of the low-cost w**** that is being abused by predators like France and China under the eyes of corrupted parents in order to get fancy metals and save the economy of their countries while the population there will always stay in poverty ! and the media is manipulating the audience and orienting them to false debates to deceive them ! ... and is also exploiting the fact that masses are too busy with their jobs and stuff and don't have maybe the time to stop for a while to think about what they're being spoonfed ! Maybe we need to start asking questions on who are really the monsters in this story ! Forgot to mention the double face west is wearing .... sometimes helping the fanatics and sometimes fighting them lol !

Well ,i would like to say that NASA failed on detecting this too ... shows how weak we are right now :P

Well,BBC is not that bad :D I cross fingers and wait what will happen in Mali ^^ I want to add something about Hududs : Even the prophet himself acted strangely when there was a case of adultery ... the woman at that era came to him and asked for lapidation ... he said go back until you put your baby and maybe you will also change your mind ... she came back after with the boy and bread in his hands (to show him that the boy can feed himself now) ... apparently he had no choice (the prophet) and didn't want her to get the punition ... but she insisted,and during the thing someone was insulting her -.- he told him to stop it and that she earned a redemption that can be divided on the whole city ! Same happened with Jesus ,when jews brought him a woman that had illegal relation ... he asked the most righteous of them to shoot the first stone ... they all left and let the woman with him ... he asked her to simply leave ... The moral here : it's not really a punishement just for the sake of punishing,and most likely (my personal opinion) can't happen if the guy who committed the sin is not convinced that he was wrong ... and god always says after stating this punishements that if you seek redemption then the god will accept it ! It's really a dissuasive punition to keep a safe society !

Ok, I am happy you're asking questions ! I can tell you that nothing can justify ( i mean really justify theft),but i will return the question to you :A guy working in a mine 10 hours per day and gets his salary at the end of the month,quits the mine and gets stolen on the way to home ... how would you feel being that guy ? he doesnt have insurance ofcourse ! It's not really a matter of a day or two before you can give a judgement,and it's a matter of saying it one time ... it concerns people who are insisiting on accusing other people ! First,Islam is considered by muslims as the last brick of a house :),muslims believe in all prophets from Adam to Muhammad. Islam didn't come at once ,it took 23 years ... at the begining it was not forbidden to drink at all... then started getting prohibited progressively ! Well,if you see Tariq Ramadan's conferences,you will understand that applying Hudud nowadays is not anymore possible,since they will punish the weak guys and let the big heads :) ,like what's happening in Saoudia. Let's come back to Mali ... i will answer the question,i myself asked and you seem to ignore ... Why Mali and not Syria ? Because people in Syria say ,beside Freedom and Dignity, in the name of allah ... and that's why it's worrying everyone ,because of some geopolitical issues in the area ... if you see what i mean :P

Well definately,i have some gift at locking threads :D I will answer you anyway : Yes,Sharia is what it is ... but you're most likely badly informed (like BBC audience most likely),that part of sharia you're mentioning is the Hudud,people who harm the 5 important things in human life (Religion,Life,Honour,Reason and money) diserve a corporal punishement if all the conditions are met (only applicable for muslims) ,and yes this is not radical islam ,it's just the justice seen by Islam. Thief ==> gets his hand cut ! Fornication ==> flogging if you're not married and Lapidation if you are. Banditism ==> getting killed,exil or losing left hand and right leg ! Accusing people of fornication ===>(i dont have the word) but similar to lapidation Drinking beer (this one is hard eh ? ^^) ===> flogging All this is really harsh as punishement ... and conditions are very hard to meet ( 2 righteous witnesses for fornication,which most likely will never happen ... unless you do it in public),so it's more a dissuasive stuff than punishement ! Human rights came with Islam long time before,it's just that people are too lazy to read quran and prefer getting cooked informations from BBC ^^ @Mattari Well ,to be as neutral as possible :D I would say that being a****** has no religion,so that man thought something and tried to spread panic among people ! i don't know if he is right or not ! i can't tell what those vaccinations have inside of them,i mean other than what the ticket says ... same goes for all medications ! But there is a simple rule that i use in these cases ... let's avoid a big catastrophy by going into a smaller one ! in worst cases,if he is right ,i get a disease but i am safe from thousands other diseases :D So,unless he invents some kind of alternative and stops talking ... let's keep using the current vaccinations ! Last point,to be a muslim you dont need a leader ... it's probably the only religion in which you can praise god without any medium ! The religion is innoncent of what idiots might do with it ! and this point is very important.

Dialog is the key,why no one cares about Syria then ? it's the same thing ... people get murdered everyday there ! Besides,there are no tangible proofs of people suffering in Mali as you said,just french guys running around and a bunch of locals crying for "freedom" ... has anyone tried to hear what those what you call "radical islamists" have to say ? France is suffering a big crisis,they needed to go there to make some deals ! PS:(radical islam is a concept that exists only in media for me,no law in islam foments killing innocent people,there is not even a room for interpretation).

Yes,a word of truth ... Are you serious ?! :D

That would be too "naive" ... check Africa's history !

Yes,everything in arma is calculated in real time ..it's totally normal for complex missions !

front or back ... useless to try something else ... take also into consideration that they slow down very fast,so try to shoot at close distances (or install last beta,it fixed this ^^) Just keep aiming at the plane until you hear a continuous sound then shoot !

I waited for it to end and then deleted local content of Arma 2 But i have this line on my OA startup params : -nosplash -world=empty -showscripterrors -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion Which means you need beta installed ... well maybe use steam beta ,maybe it will work too ! You can also cancle the download ... but launching arma 2 alone will cause a CDkey problem !

Why steam is redownloading ArmA2 ? i am losing space on my SSD What's going on ?

My point was somehow to show that it actually matters where you shoot tanks in arma ,realistic or not is another story :P
