for me its the same when running on my laptop , settings things to low especially terrain causes some things to glitch

okay but here it is , only prototype thought http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/31/self-guided-bullet-could-strike-laser-designated-targets-from-a-mile-away/

This : guided bullet sniper rifles http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23571-selfaiming-rifle-turns-novices-into-expert-snipers.html now that is too easy , removing all the fun from sniping , but totally realistic . Bipods and Weapon resting should be top-priority , there is a mod for that , but this feature should come in vanilla

Well this should be definitely in-game at least for special forces , i saw pictures of vehicle with railguns .. now that is sci-fi ( railguns require an huge amount of energy ) Future Force warrior ( USA ) , GLADIUS ( Germany ) , Soldato Futuro ( Italy ) , Ratnik ( Russia ) ... those systems are current tech ( look for example Google Glasses ) and will only improve in the future ( probably contact lenses instead of head mounted display )

22 years is a lot of time ... especially in electronics , just think how were computers 22 years ago and what they can be 22 years from now even if they're 'greatly developed devices' thermal sensors and NVGs have improved a lot , in the future smaller devices will be more and more capable like current bigger ones ...its only a problem of miniaturization , probably a thermal optic will have the same specifics as a current vehicle one.

Also do not forget that Iran now has a 'time machine' , that's why they're so advanced in-game , in the Armaverse this thing apparently seems to work going against physics . http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/9985757/Iranian-scientist-claims-to-have-invented-time-machine.html

Higher velocity means only higher energy , how and how much this energy will be transferred to the target ? In some cases even a slower bullet could be deadlier than a faster one because it will transfer its entire energy while the faster one could go throught the body exchanging little energy.

you could assume that in 2030s Throat microphones and/or Subvocal recognition are more widespread , hand signals would cool anyway but like metalcraze said are difficult to implement.

Well, top-notch body armour can take multiple shots from 7.62×39 right now, now considering the game set is 2030s and the advancement of nanotechnology and science material , a conventional pistol or smg bullet will have an hard time to penetrate such thing , then add the adrenaline factor .

oddly tank-mounted railguns sounds more like 2142 than 2030 ... ( unless someone could come up with cold-fusion or Iron Man's Arc reactor ) Hard-kill, soft-kill countermeasures seems are confirmed Guided tanks shells also could be a nice addition But as someone has said before , the most of the vehicles is totally unknown ( Iranian jet for example )...so at least we need to wait for the beta .

it would be cool also if you can swap the barrel and the upper receiver , thus allowing to change ammo type and barrel lenght . By now your only option is to carry two rifles. Just take some inspiration from RPGs inventory systems ...

this should be a priority together with weapon resting ... it totally ruins the gameplay

its a difficult problem to resolve but check this it is a graphic engine which use fractal algorithms to render grass and objects at distance with low resources. If BIS engine or a mod could do something like that, this problem could be overcomed maybe. By now sinking with the grass layer technique and improved mid range textures , seems the best workaround . Also the blur the soldier thing is very interesting .

this!... its like a sort of advanced javelin.

oddly , to me Arma 3 , if you consider it is set up in 2030 , doesn't seem futuristic enought at least for some aspects , i am hoping to see some hybrid helos like the sikorsky x2 or the s-97 raider rather than the comanche and more advanced tech to the infantry in the final game.

Resolved , it seems that a mod called mcc_sandbox was causing some problems , now i can save the mission

i think i have an issue in the SP version, i can't save at all even on recruit or regular , in other missions this don't occur , the word 'save' in the menu its unlighted . I already tried to remove and then replace this mission but it still don't work , this is a real shame because this mission its awesome .

For me the Editor is an essential part of the game. By now, placing units in interiors is too difficult , not to mention that you can't customise the loadout without scripting...it should be simplified a 3D editor would be great also

in-game its 80% less damage maybe because they don't have the same armor-piercing capability . Terminal ballistic is a delicate argument ... if there is no body armor sometimes a slower bullet deals more damage than a faster one because the latter can go through the body with relatively little injury , whereas the slower one will stuck in the flesh thus transferring all of it kinetic energy to the tissues.

considering the game setting in 2030 , the use of such protections could be more common than nowadays . Althought it would require a major breakthrough in ballistic protection materials ( such as graphene , engineered biofibers and such fancy materials ) to make facial armor really pratical and useful . Today it offer too many drawbacks and little protection.

I agree totally with you especially for the Night Vision ... it looks outdated even now at least throught special forces ...http://www.elbitsystems-us.com/sites/default/files/imported/seo/esam0079_quadeye.jpg

you complained before about lack of arguments ? And THIS is your argument ? Please......

but many civilian applications have military applications and reverse .... so military technology progress every day indeed because so does science overall. Technology advances but ...at the end to field something you have to finance it ...it cost money to make things afterall. ---------- Post added at 18:34 ---------- Previous post was at 18:20 ---------- no its according to your reasoning, cellphone technology is advancing so fast because of processors (Moore's law) and softwares ....its complete realistic to assume that a 2035 cellphone would have the power of a today PC . It is not realistic assuming flying car in 2035 ( unless as fying car you mean airplanes and helos or something like that) because there isn't the technology ( antigravity ?! ) and the need for it . This thread is asking for more realistic 2035 tech and actual use of the ones that are already ingame ( see the sci-fi looking iranians that probably go around with mock-ups head mounted displays and a mock.up micro-climate suit ...if only we can have also the Qaher-313 )

Wise words here...especially if you consider that putting a Railgun on a mobile vehicle its totally unfeasible now ...Railguns to operate efficiently would require a huge power generator (new form of energy or micro nuclear reactor ) and of course coolant and major breakthroughts in new materials . Okay that is sci-fi . But again its there unfortunately. Railguns on ships or static...that is another story...
