ARMA II Thread

[Dowly]

The main problem playing OPFOR is that we suck at everything.
We lack LGBs, we only have two versatile assault rifles (AKM & AKS), our short
and medium range AT is little more than throwing rocks at them, and our long range
AT (Metis) cant take out an Abrams unless you hit it right in the rear. All of US
troops also have NVGs, so sneaking is going to be hard as heck.

All that said, I just played for 2+ hours, working on one side mission and had a blast!
It was painful, as I had to sneak around the target to get a good long range shot
with Metis to take out the Abrams. After that, I had to run back to the MHQ
to rearm at which point the town I used to move around through was swarmed
with infantry, which turned out to be a mini-mission in itself as I sneaked around
trying to clear the area. It's hard, but it's OFP hard, in a good way.

Best war loot ever! (I left and marked the M4 at base, please dont take it. )

I thought the sound I heard was the Shilka I saw at the side target.. then the ground started to shake.


One Metis and two RPG7s later...



EDIT: BTW, are we still using vanilla AI? Because I'm seeing some strange behaviour
when vehicles are damaged. BRDM I shot with a RPG7 losts it's front wheels,
yet nobody bailed out. Also, the Abrams in the last screenshot was damaged
enough that the driver or gunner bailed out, but the commander stayed in.

Well, I looted an M16 from a Yank you shot during the side mission, so I certainly have no right to take the M4.
So I guess the next mission for both of us will be: collect tons of STANAG mags - this way we won't have to club the enemy soldiers to death with our rifles
