FIRST IMPRESSIONS:v0.86

[Rick Bazooka]

the point is you have new animation as a collaborator as you can see its very usefull for making movies
don't be serious take this with humor

3 things I can instantly think of:


1. You can't choose a weapon during mission briefing, and that's quite anoying.

2. Rally points still get destroyed when enemy is nearby. The number of enemies has even been reduced to two. I still can't understand this change. Isn't it possible to just disable the rally point when there's a bunch of enemy nearby, but they still have to destroy it by hand?
It's very annoying for both sides:
- As attacker, you don't know if you have destroyed the rally point if there is one
- As defender, some ignorant troops walking by can overrun it.

3. Headshot still don't kill

With the new AR, PR is scary! And that is good, we should all use cover, to get from A to B.

Must say, its suddenly so easy to command people around, havent seen any lone snipers yet, hihi! Im glad.

Really like the new design and the auto join button makes my day.

Havent tried Mechanized Infantry yet, looking forward to that.

Thank you devs for a patch.


The AR is really powerfull, no more people walking around in the middle of the street without dying...

First impression?

- I love LMG's and the new focus on the Machine Gunner and the Medic

What you have to remember is that the 2.5inch rockets (not missiles) that the attack helicopters use are unguided and are for want of a better phrase fire and forget. You aim, you fire, then they do their own thing depending on wind and weather etc.

If you want to view this video and go to exactly 1:50, you will see that they behave in PR just like they do IRL. YouTube - Cobra Action in Iraq (its only a short clip, 1:50 in, for about 4 seconds)

LOL! You can't say that at all, especially if your evidence is a 4 second video without any context. They're more realistic before but they still need work. Unless youre hovering they're very inaccurate. On the huey, they dont hit where you aim at all unless you get really close. On both Muttrah and Karbala, the helis with the 2.75 inc rockets were flying very low and very close to get accuracy. The modern 2.75 inch rockets are accurate arent they?

There's something wrong with the crosshair when you're flying. Maybe I just have to get used to it

Note the altitude of the helicopters or planes from the following videos and also their accuracy
YouTube - MH-60 DAP Black Hawk Gunrun
YouTube - Apache Rocket

I guess it's not a big deal, it seems I'm the only one bothered. I did go 29-0 today on Muttrah with the attack huey, but that's cause the other team had zero AA.

WRT Civilian hands up - Its useful for flagging yourself (visually) as a civilian and it more or less stops BLUfor trigger happy nuts to think twice about who's in their sights.

[Bisshop]

Oh yeah, another bad change is the RPG change.
That thing uses HIGH EXPLOSIVE rounds you know.
And the penetrating rockets from the Apache have a 4 times bigger splash?
Come on, those RPGs send shrapnel flying for over 20 meters, not just 6!

-Turning radius of truck is just completely retarded, you can't actually drive it on roads anymore...

[ozliam41]

0.86 is great just don't like the new hydras but i will get will get to like them.
TY DEVS REALLY LOVE THIS MOD

[Raufbold]

Same goes for the turning Radius of the chinese Jeep, its way too big, even a truck would turn tighter in RL
