I absolutely love the "wave" idea with APCs, tanks, planes, attack choppers.

However, I'm worried about transport boats, transport little birds, black hawks, hummers and their equivalents. Will they be affected by this?

I don't want to see the first wave of choppers get annihilated on Muttrah and have to wait 20 minutes.

Besides those concerns, 0.6 sounds amazing! Can't wait.

are the same opinion good idea

hmm yeh maybe transport could respawn at 10 or 15 min intervals instead...

but still sounds greate, im just woried that that military base will be leveled within 2 mins by both teams since i can perty much imaging that all the chopper pilots would want to see what happens when they shoot them.

The wave spawn thing is currently only in one map as a test.

The SA80 is accurate to 600m with a skilled firer, and 800m as suppresive fire. Although with the average shooting skills of the average soldier (including corps) it is only right to say that the SA80 w/SUSAT is accurate to 400m, and effective as suppression fire up to 600m.

The same as above applies to the L86A2 (LSW), which on average is accurate to 600m and suppression at 800m. Although with a skilled firer it's accurate to 800m and suppression at 900m (the distance where non-snipers tend to FUBAR their shot compension for elements such as windage, travel etc etc).

This issue has already been addressed anyway

I used to be an excellent shot with the SA80 series L85A1. Laid down and calmly firing at 400m you couldn't miss a full sized target. at 600m I'd hit it 8/10, at 800m 2/10.

Really, this means that the idea of suppressing fire in combat conditions means that firing out to 800m might be too shaky when the adrenhalin is up. So 600m would be max range with the L85 rifle for suppressing fire.

Of course, in the british army, suppressing fire is what will hit you. If you are advancing and the rounds aren't hitting you then it isn't suppressing fire

I noticed in the first picture (H.U.D.) that two white flags have the UCB icon over them. Is this part of the attack order and improved AAS gameplay we have heard about? I never have seen a UCB wihth a white flag before.

I also noticed that there is a gunship in this map. I thought such a map would not have air vehicles. This is quite the bonus.
Those tracer rounds from infantry and soft skinned vehicles will be much more important now. Also, I hope the gunships gunner will have better zoom from .5. I guess if the tanks are getting it, the gunships need it also.

Even though not all maps will be able to double the view distance just a fraction of an increase will be much apprciated. 75 meters on this map, 100 on that map. Just that little bit will help things out greatly.


yeah, the battlefield for .6 is looking good.

If the new CO system (which I will fully support as either CO or the SL of the logistics/engi/__XO__ squad when I play) holds up well.

and the new spawn and AAS tweaks hold up;


hopfully teams will be more organized and not acting independantly of each other. Also, hopfully the gameplay will require people to slow down or retire from the mod from frustration of dieing so often.
