With the new way AA works and the new way aircraft works, I think you may have made them perfect in this mod for combined arms, I don't fly much but now I sure as hell will be ready to get a manpads for my squad and shoot down those buggers!

Can't help but laugh at the folk whos mission on these forums seems to be to shoot everything down

(pun intended) these new changes are awesome especially for teamwork, without teamwork they wont work and thats how we like it

Can't wait to get a squad gathered up and have a Commander (we're gonna be needing more folk like that!) go around lasing static tanks, busting bunkers with bombs ohhh this is gonna be great.
Maybe now the longbow can work as it should with PROPER hellfires

We all know woop woop we can shoot down a chopper with a tank. Try doing that while we paint you, telling the apache where youre facing and then shoot him while he goes above the trees for 1/2 a second, fires, dissappears and before you know it BANG... gone

This is going to be so epic!

Working soflams will mean much better ground - air co-ordination and therefore more teamwork. I can't even count the number of times where I could have used those soflams to get a tanks murdered but those damn lonewolf A 10 dudes couldn't be bothered to find it!

dont get me wrong here now on my critisism, but a few things concern me
one problem i see is that the apache is reallyreally sensitive to banking, it unfortunatly hasnt this nice stability the stock helos havoc and probably wz-11 have. so if it "flips" in the wrong moment, which happens easily if youre below a certain speed, its gonna be really hard for the gunner to acquire the target since his view is only about 10-15° and wont be able to adjust in time
another thing is that the pilot HUD still seems to be stock in the havoc, which means the tv missile indication is off, and for the apache it isnt even there. so while this might promote communication, communicating the direction of the target in that crucial moment can lose valuable time, we talk about half a second max. if the helo rises behind the hill and has to adjust angle first.. youre already dead.
we see the su25 got red HUD.. so it seems its customizable. can the helos get a working tvmissile HUDbox for the pilot?
will the tvmissiles be able to fire against the sky or is that problem still around that it doesnt react?
besides those things im happyhappyjoyjoy

Top notch stuff lads, can't wait to play it.

Have to say it the explosion for the GPS Guided bomb seemed a bit small and quiet, especially as it destroyed all of that armoured column, I haven't a clue how long it takes to improve something like that though, and its only a visual thing.

This looks like being one of if not the best update to PR gameplay wise.

The SOFLAM laser targeting is nice. The GPS bomb, however, seems too powerful for gameplay purposes. Or was that the JDAM with the big reload time?

Only thing that confused me was the GPS bomb dropped from the plane. Like how did he know when to drop it?

Post by **Katarn** » 2007-12-27 18:54

He had a voice that said "locked on" but it was in arabic, so it was hard to discern. GPS Guided Bomb and the 2000LB JDAM are not the same. GPS is dropped by plane, JDAM is commander controlled. And yes, I KNOW that a JDAM is a GPS Guided Bomb, but I'm trying not to confuse people.

just call the jet dropped bombs LGB, easier that way.

i also see the gun-cam screen of helos are still the same. i know its only a visual thing but its still the thing you look at..

Post by **Katarn** » 2007-12-27 19:13

But Rhino, the one that was referred to was NOT the LGB, it was the GPSGB.
