Hi, I'm having a couple of problems with the game. First, I'm finding it hard to hit enemies from the water tower on the Sniper and Convoy mission with the MK12 rifle. I have a legitimate copy, so I don't think this is FADE, unless FADE can sometimes be activated erroneously. I know I have to aim slightly above targets at long distances, but sometimes it seems like I've hit the enemy (no dust puff appears near the ground) but they don't take damage. Is this because of their armour? How many shots should it take to kill them, and should enemies show a reaction when hit in their armour?
After this I'm on a mission where I have to clear out enemy camps with two teams in jeeps... It's too hard since there's so many enemies I just get shot up straight away, or the driver does which leaves me a sitting duck. So I tried to change my tactics and play as the driver and let the AI handle the gun, but he doesn't shoot anything! He's set to engage at will, I don't know what else to do. |

You might want to visit BI forums - such discussions were common there and still are.
When you hit a gun, it may stop a bullet in ArmA. Other than that, personal body armor in this game is just a number of health points, it won't act as a shield. You don;t have FADE - it's just BIS weapons have silly ballisitc settings. AI car gunners (and all other gunners in ArmA) are almost blind compared to you - you need to use your right mouse button to tell them what to look at or Alt+lift click in the direction you want them to watch for incoming enemies. I;ve not even started the campaign - mission making + addons made by the community is the only way to play ArmA for me. -------------------- Good guys play ArmA-1

Those missions are quite difficult, do you have the AI set to überstupid in the difficulty options?

Thanks for the help guys
I've posted this in the BI forums, but I've took the advice of your last post and I'm testing it now, here's hoping it works. |
