    Ok really strange problem. Noticed this about a week ago and it is affecting a whole bunch of us who play Arma 2.

    In the past I could fire a SMAW at over 1k range and still hit. Also the rocket would move very fast towards the target. In fact hitting a target at 600m it would be an almost instant hit.

    The problem now is the rocket speed has changed, it moves very slow compared to the past and it also detonates at about 650m Max range.

    I have removed all addons and updated to the latest beta patch (ARMA2_OA_Build_103718) My friend has the same beta patch.

    My friend follows this aiming guide:SMAW Aiming guide For me to hit a target at 600m, I need to move down to the 3rd line!

    What the hell is going on here? Any idea why it is completely different for the both of us?

    Thanks for any feedback.

    Beacuse this is not an MP game only, and numbers are used for orders to your team mates or AI, ain't difficult to try to adapt to the arma gameplay wich is the same from 2001, there are thousands of player never had these kind of problems related to scroll menu, and weapon change, and this is not CoD or Batllefield and i hope will never be or i'll forget forever Arma too, Arma is excellent as it be and as it always been

    Seriously, throwing me the COD and Battlefield insult is really poor. The reason I suggest numbers is because they are a single key press. Think about it for a second, if in real life I want to change from Rifle to Pistol, this decision is made almost instantly. The only delay should be a short time for the animation to complete.

    I have hundreds of hours of Arma 2 play under my belt, so I know how to use the scroll wheel. That doesn't remove the fact it's clunky, cumbersome and much more open to user error than pressing a single key.

    I honestly cannot believe that Primary, Secondary, Launcher and Satchel/Mine do not have number keys set for them.

    1 = Rifle

    2 = Pistol

    3 = Launcher

    4 = Satchel/IED

    5 = Mine

    Why the hell do we need to scroll wheel and select, it's so bloody clunky.

    Also 100% agree on a shortcut key for opening doors or climbing ladders! You should be able to press a single key and when your player is close enough he will move into the animation.

    Just wondering, at what ranges are you having trouble tapping off shots? I have not noticed much of a difference between blufor and opfor recoil.

    Between 150-300m there is a massive punch to the bluefor weapons compared to opfor. It honestly feels night and day the difference between the two sides.

    I am having a hard time with the recoil, especially as blueforces. The kick is huge! I try staying crouched, control breathing etc but trying to tap shots is very difficult.

    Has anyone noticed Opforces the recoil is much less of a problem. I feel much more in control using opfor weapons and it feels more similar to Arma 2.

    Yes there should be Melee combat. I am not sure why this isn't included. I always felt it was badly missing from Arma 2 :) also with the addition of more CQC, it would be welcomed.

    Ahh.. I hadn't even thought of that. I'll make some smaller versions. Stratis doesn't have too much in the way of urban environments so the scope of the missions is going to be pretty small. I'm working with getting some of the new functions fivured out as they pertain to my code and I'll be releasing an update. I am aware of the framerate issues and a couple other issues so bear with me. This game is still an infant so I'm sure some optimizations are in the future.

    Cheers :D

    No problem mate, I wasn't moaning :) Take it everyone has noticed throwing more than 1 smoke grenade kills the server? Even on our dedicated if 3+ smokes are thrown the fps tumbles to single figures. I love your game mode, I find it way more interesting than Blitzkrieg. Was hilarious having the civvies because they actually looked to be enjoying the beach while we tore the town up!

    Morning tvig0r0us, you had your headset muted for most of the night, so wasn't sure how much you heard of us playing. Anyway, we had fun last night. Mission seemed stable, FPS wasn't fantastic but we did have Civvies on plus used a very small map and stupidly kept in 2 planes each faction. So there were bombs and all sorts being dropped destroying the place :) utter chaos but great fun.

    You have lots of parameters to change, so it's very easy for us to tweak and balance exactly how we want the game to play played. Good work!

    Hi everyone,

    Quite new to Arma so my first introduction was from Day Z (don't hate me) I then discovered Wasteland which I am loving and help admin a server.

    Anyway I played some Insurgency last night, great mission. What I would like to know is how to edit the difficulty so that our server has the following:

    1st person only

    Enemy positions on map removed

    Ability to use the map markers kept

    Kill message kept on.

    I think we tried Veteran which kept 3rd person, showed enemy positions on map when close enough.

    Alternative was hardcore? 1st person only, no map markers, no kill messages. So we are ideally looking for an in-between mode :)

    thanks for any help.
