Revelation Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Are the vehicles able to rearm? Reloading seems to be automatic, what happens when out of ammo? Is there a place we can go or be near supply vehicles? I imagine you would need an ammo truck nearby just like for AI. I'm almost done on my downloads and I will give it a try.

Ali Fish Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) So...anyone up for a quick review? I'm bursting at the seams to know what it was that had some testers burst at the seams. Some kind of feature surprise? ive bought it and installed but not tried yet, too busy with the p51 updates lol. i really like the idea of the games master spots. and the varying levels of participation. from simple observer right upto games master. this is epic, but maybe i see it wrong. the way i see it, its like having live missions. a real commander. what limitations there im not sure. but i cant wait to delve into it, at a modernish conceptual level. give them cockpits and "wow" i think it could have gone one step further than a dynamic campaign. or indeed it is a dynamic campaign of sorts. or am i wrong. all that triggering and mission scripting. that hassle is now a playable hassle lol ! what wonderfull stuff.

Esac_mirmidon Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I´m testing the new features coming with CA and it´s really impresive. RWR works perfect when i lock a friend´s plane, the same when i turn on off the radar but i have one question? If i use a vehicle with lasing capability the LWR of a Ka-50 will burn up? I was making test in my squad and all runs perfect , but no Laser warning in Ka-50 cockpits when i´m lasing it. Maybe some vehicles use laser for buddy lasing that are not emiting in the frequency that the LWR of the Ka-50 works with? Or maybe some vehicles can tilt up the LWR and others not?

Can observe and play as JTAC and control ground units for both sides. The Game Master can view all units. As a Game Master, you can dynamically alter the ground war during the mission. Note 1: Although there are both Red and Blue side Game Master roles, both sides act the exact same and both control units from both sides. Note 2: For Head-to-Head multiplayer matches, it is best not to enable any Game Master roles. Ground Force Command (CM). Can strategically control ground units in the battlefield. This includes indirect fire systems like artillery and multiple rocket launcher systems. Also has First Person vehicle control, including JTAC capability. JTAC. Has First Person vehicle control, including JTAC capability, does not have strategic control over ground units. Observer. Cannot play as JTAC or control ground units, but has unlimited camera access to observe the action. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weltensegler Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Great new Module overall! I can't aim with smoke really though. Always lands miles ahead or behind the Target. Anyone tried JTAC with AI? I can lase or beam a target but I didn't find out how to tell the A10s yet :) They so far bomb what they want and don't care a penny about my beam or laser :) Rather seems they save my marked target for last and take out everyone around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY_ccyDM-eY Also when leaving the JTAC view the targeting seems to maintain but when jumping back its off. Changing laser target forces me to lose target to push the set button and then it crashes. Guess atm its more convenient for MP and Teamspeak comminication.

jib Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) My first impressions are that it is really fun. At first I tried the mission at the top of the list, I had real fun when I found out how to fire the guided missiles from tanks. I killed alot of the enemy tanks with the Smerch MLRS that was alot of fun. But playing single player on that mission got a bit boring fast. So I took the Stronghold mission from the KA50 deployment campaign tweaked it slightly and it was fun to play the ground units advancing with the support of AI air support. But then I took the mission online and that is where the real fun began! Having human controlled ground units is so much harder and more fun to play agiants and then when you call for human air support and it comes in and kick some butt it is like something out of the movies! Taking my BMP into an enemy held village was really scary because you don't now what is around the corner unless you have some eyes in the sky. Making missions is going to be so much fun when you can play them from any role. I haven't tried the JTAC properly yet about from throwing a load of smoke around. I have found that you can still drive a vehicle from the F7 outside view, which is good but it would be better if you could still control the rest of you group with the G ground arrow from outside like on ARMA ( I will put it on the wish list) and it would be cool if you could still fire from the outside view just for aesthetics!

TurboHog Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I got a laser warning yesterday. Pretty certain it was my squad mate. I'm not so sure. Yesterday I was doing Tunguska vs me in the Shark. Whe he used optical guidance mode and thus, the laser range finder, no LWR lights lit up. Missile came totally unexpected.

Druid_ Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not sure about that Nate as it can also engage ground based targets, found the following on http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product1806.html television-aided sight and laser rangefinder which together with the radar and digital computer system form an optical-radar fire control system (ORFCS) operating in the passive mode both day and night (moonlight at a quarter of the moon) away from pc so can't test in game atm. i7-7700K : 16Gb DDR4 2800 Mhz : Asus Mobo : 2TB HDD : Intel 520 SSD 240gb : RTX 2080ti: Win10 64pro : Dx10 : TrackiR4 : TM Warthog : ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Guidance is performed by the gunner who uses the 8× magnification (8 degree field of view) 1A29 stabilized sight of the Tunguska to track the target and the missile (using a flare or pulsed beacon) is automatically tracked by the optics. The deviation of the missiles compared with the tracked target is used to calculate guidance commands, the tracking radar being used to send radio commands to the missile, making Tunguska a semi-automatic, radio command, with optical line of sight (SACLOS) system Cheers.

159th_Viper Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah, no laser. For Optical tracking the Tunguska utilizes a thermal imager for target acquisition and tracking, and an IR tracker for terminal missile guidance. The Pantsir-S1 however uses inter alia a laser for Optical engagements. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!
