depends on alot of things including your CPU, its not just about how good you GPU is either way yes, thats a good all round GPU

about 5 minutes ago ? as in 1 plane on your team

id like to see more official vehicles, specially planes, as theres only one lol

some ppl i watch have to shift with keys as they've used all the keys up, and i can see why, i wouldnt recommend using the joystick, seriously it wont take long till you get used to using keys, i was a console gamer for over 20 years and im finally getting used to using keys and mouse, just think using the joystick might hamper you later when you start needing quick key response on other keys, sometimes you may need to peek round corners etc so would need to press more than one key for movement, i feel like you too, dying to go online to experience RL squad based play but feel im not good enough yet, personally i'd get some hrs of play under your belt first, last thing you wanna do is frag a team m8 lol i ordered the delux as i could see me playing this for a long time, and whats 5 euros lol

if i was to say your perhaps trying to play arma3 like a console game ? i know where your coming from as i was like this at first, but in RL the enemy do shoot at you and chances are at some point you will get hit, even with a unscoped gun at 300 meters, ive watched alot of videos since getting this game....sorry, army sim and have learnt alot, like you i questioned why i had smoke and not 3 grenades but after watching videos im glad i got smoke, the heli isnt gonna sit around covering you if theres a chance the enemy has any AA and if they destroyed your APC with a AT chances are they have, i nearly gave up on this game/sim but thats only cause i looked at it all wrong after spending decades playing console games, but slowly changing my play style and getting better at this i do agree with you though that your AI suck and are more of a hindrance than a help, just use them as supressive fire, spread them, try to flank with them using the smoke provided, just dont try to be rambo, it doesnt work lol like already mentioned above try putting AI to novice and work your way up till you feel the game is balanced for you

hi, im new'ish too and had a similar post to you a few weeks ago, although i cant really answer your question as im still learning it all myself the one thing i can say is to try and get used to mouse and keyboard, its taken me a while to get used to it, cause im left handed its taken me a long while to find the right setup with the keyboard, but once youve set it up you can save it else where on your pc for when you format, its in your documents folder under Amra3/name.arma3profile btw impressive pc specs, have you though about a SSD ? ive never looked back since getting one and like you i used to format alot but not felt the need to now

i would imagine long range firing is way off because by the time the shell has seen the dot its already too far of course to be able to correct it, think the game trys to over compensate for it and why it falls so far off course, obviously its all speculation cause im no wiz with programming ive noticed when using the mcc artillery its worse and they dont have a firing position, only thing ive found that works 100% of the time is calling in a air strike with the LGB using the mcc console, but feel like im cheating using that

doesnt matter what they are, they all aim the same, even LGB's have fins so they can 'aim' for the target, either way they all should hit the target unless in bad weather

i did some tests myself just, i used the UAV to lock the laser on the enemy tank from 400 meters up, so was definitely on top of the tank and in a fixed position, i was using the Scorcher at short range and the first laser guided shell missed by a long way, but the 2nd one i fired hit smack on top yet i adjusted nothing ? theres definitely something wrong with the guidance system on these shells, they shouldn't be random at all but 100% on all guided shells ? btw PoorOldSpike i will check your thread out

i though lasers went on for ever, ie you can fire a laser to the moon, im no scientist so dont know that for certain, just what ive always being led to believe im gonna do some serious testing, what was said before isnt entirely correct as i gave up lasing a tank earlier as the arty was on the other side of the map so stood up, with my laser left on and pointing to the floor only to find the shell hit me...lol i used the UAV to laser a tank and called an LGB in from a F/A 18 and it hit on target, when my targets missed im fairly sure i was between the target and the arty so it should have see the 'laser point' i though the main point of lasing was so you could hit moving targets ?, give the arty the area you want the shell to hit then use the laser to make it precise, or thats what i though it should do ? on your ballistic arc you mentioned the artillery fires nearly straight upward so would imagine it has alot of area it could changed course during flight ?

ok, will try it like you said, thanks :D

but im far away so my breathing moves the laser on/off target, does that matter ? ive watched some videos on laser targeting, think i got it wrong what i though the laser did, i though it was for the missile to home in on the laser beam, but from what ive watched its to give the arty operator a 'fake' target ?, but if so on later why would you need to give him coordinates ? a little confused on what the laser actually does, apart from fire a laser beam of course lol

so after ive called the arty i can turn off the laser and move on ?

does anyone know IF they did ever release an update for the 360 version, they did say unlikely so it wasnt a definite no ?

i see that 360 owners still dont have an update to fix all the bugs, achievement's and A.I. ? this game has being out for months and shocked we still have no update to fix problems we had from when the game was launched, i understand the pc owners have had numerous updates to try and sort the problems out but surely we deserve at least 1 by now, after all we are paying more than pc owners for the game yet get left behind i understand you have to pay MS to release an update and i know how much it is, but this game has being sat on my shelf for months collecting dust waiting for it to be fixed any news on the update would be good thanks......are we even getting an update ? lol

they know how much it costs to patch a game so perhaps in future gaming company's will release a game that works, im amazed this game ever got released in this condition, they even had to patch it on release date due to corrupt save data, theres no way this game was tested properly or they would have picked that up, so there no one else to blame but them, as the consumer i do have every right to get a full refund, specially as they've confirmed there no longer going to fix this broken game all i can say its im shocked and amazed at the outcome of all this, never have i heard a gaming company say there giving up on there broken product, doesnt show me they got any passion or faith in there product, ive personally lost faith in this company and probably wont buy one of there products again, nor will i recommend it to anyone

they should never have bothered releasing this game on the 360 if there not going to support it, not sure how they can get away with this.....

that is a big shame, can i ask why your not releasing an update fro the 360 ??

is there any news on the recent patch for the 360 ?? im not talking about the one from the release date but the one to sort this crappy A.I out, im getting fed up with waiting, at this rate i will be on the 720 before this gets fixed, pull your fingers out and give us our update god nows how many emails ive sent you asking for a simple yes or no to the update and no reply ?? your costumer service needs to be looked at, or dont you give a dam about your costumers anymore !!

is there any news on the patch for the 360 version ?? im dying to fully play this game, but cant till these bugs are patched

Hi, im loving this game, one of the best strategy games ive played thus far (and ive played hundreds) well, apart from 1 mayor thing, its the control system, its horrendous, both A.I and human input, ive never come across a game on the 360 that is as bad as this, walking forward and it starts to strafe left or right, go forward abit and it lunges forward and smashes into doors, its nearly unplayable, 5 attempts to walk through a door ?, and the A.I control system, is actually laughable watching them trying to get from A>B, ive lost soo many units from there horrendous path seeking, its a real shame, if this had the controls and A.I from say BF or CoD this would be at the top for strategy games (in my list) for me and would recommend it to all my buddies who love these games... ive watched a few pc players on youtube and they mentioned this was being sorted, so my question is, is it being sorted and if so will we get the update on the 360 too ? many thanks

there is no support, i think its disgusting they dont reply with such a simple answer, yes or no ive even sent them emails just asking if theres any update coming out and nothing, no response, from all the gaming forums ive being in this has to be the worst for responding to your questions shame because i love the game and refuse to be beaten on it

thats cool Steve, thanks for replying the update you had was one the released when the game was launched, i think there was a problem with the saves or something ive lost alot of units due to the pathfinding, i prefer to be in 1 of the units with the other 3 following me, the trouble is when im in a battle and need help the other 3 units are no where to be seen, i then usually loose the unit i was controlling, only to find the other 3 are just going back an forth, ive had my carrier pummel a rock till it emptied its entire load of rounds, that was annoying as i had to leave the island and return to get my load back, plus the dmg it takes for no apparent reason, all problems i know there working on and think the pc has has some of these fixed already just want to know if there even looking at fixing this for the 360 or not, if they are i will hold onto it

i dont think ive ever seen a slower forum, is this the official one :/ ? im really wanting some answers from my previous post, sorry for being an ass about it but i posted the same questions months ago and got no response then, i tried my game again yesterday, i really want to play it and enjoy it, but as we've had no updates for it its still unplayable, i keep loosing my equipment cause the A.I are so dumb !! THIS GAME IS BROKEN........it doesnt work how it was intended !! so either can we get it fixed or i will try and get a full refund

i hopes its soon, this long for any patch is too long in consoles games, specially when they normally only have a 6 month shelf life
