Firstly countering a flame with what you call "self defence" is not allowed, since it means flaming the other person back. If you see someone making posts with what you consider to be flaming, use the "Report" function, and we will look in to it. Responding in an inappropriate way may get you into the same position that the other person is in. "Street" rules do not apply here, the [Forum Rules] do.

Secondly discussing the moderating policy in public is not allowed, as you would have found out by reading the [Forum Rules]

looks like really in BIS BMP2 is something wrong, yesterday i was checking
i need 2 shots of RPG to destroy BMP2, total nonsense
so in next VIBI i must include BMP2 too as it seems, cause it cannot be that way , that vehicle with armor=200 survives attack of weapon with hit=600 and in real life RPG7V penetrates 250-500 mm of armor (V, VL) and BMP2 with avaerage armor lower than 25 mm survies attack...
probably after some patching BIS touched something in model or what ? something must be wrong in orginal addon

[SaS TrooP]

SO you should just make a BMP weaponholder with changed defences. That is not so much work and you dont need new model/textures.

[vilas]

small info about updates:

i have just updated WPN and WPH files

WPN now:
- contains new LAW textures
- HK G33
- fixed errors in ammo boxes and few others

WPH:
- fixed errors in tank crew
- new webbing for Soviets
- added small addon of weaponholders using 1.14 patch units

[Stavrogin1980]

"in real life RPG7V penetrates 250-500 mm of armor" - yeeees!!! BUT do those bloody BMPs ALWAYS blow up when hit by RPG-7???
No, they don't, and that's exactly what we have in ArmA - and you are talking about OFP-style balance

[Rewan]

Take 250 bullets of 25mm, 2000 bullets of PKT, Some AT5 without forgetting fuel and engines and launch a PG-7V rocket on it.

[Stavrogin1980]

"Take 250 bullets of 25mm..." - heh, yes, well, bullets usually don't explode, rounds do, and BMP2 has a 30mm gun etc.

[Rewan]

Well, since english is not my native language and because I'm trying to write in english without a translator you must try to understand (even if it's hard) the global meaning...

[Stavrogin1980]

Rewan, ur English is pretty good. Actually, I think there was a version of BMP2 with a 20 or 25 or 23 mm gun - somewhere in Eastern Europe.
Russians normally use 30mm guns for IFVs. The firepower of those things is amazing - almost as strong as the 40mm Bofors!

After a quict test (and it's not like we did not know that before):
BIS BMP-2 after one (1, ONE!!!) AT-4 hit - status RED, as the RED Hammer Mod, VERY red, but it won't explode,
the crew ejects, the passangers bail out, some are injured. Usually one track is so badly damaged
that the unit can no longer move, or shoot, if it was a frontal hit. ANother AT-4 rocket will kill the poor thing.
BUT BIS AI AT soldiers don't always score a DIRECT hit, let's keep that in mind,
as the result sometimes it takes not one but three or even four AT4 hits to take
out a standart BIS BMP-2.

BIS T-72 after one AT-4 hit - status "yellow", like "Yellow Submarine", some parts can get more damage,
and turn RED \ be disabled (after all, that T-72 is an early modification). The crew will almost always
eject and run away screaming. Usually it takes 2-3 AT4 round to blow up this tank - after the second round
BIS T-72 may not explode right away, but eventually it will, in about 6-10 seconds.

The poor SHilka needs only ONE AT4 to detonate... One hit - one kill.
Why? Maybe becasue it has no passangers?..
BIS BRDM-2 also won't survive a derect AT-4 hit... That's not very realistic, since I don't remember
seeing any large boxes of TNT inside a BRDM-2, but it's a Russian\SLA LAV, L as "light"...

The results are similar when u use BIS RPG.
BIS M113 won't blow up after 1 RPG hit, well, sometimes it explodes, after about 6-10 seconds.
This delay gives u enough time to get out and run away

It's the same thing with all BIS Strykers.
Are you not happy with this sort of balance???
in your wonderful pack ALL bmps explode without any delay, and they need only ONE RPG\AT4 to be destroyed.
But I did like that T-72B + ERA needs more than 3 RPG rounds to be destroyed, AND the crew won't even get out!
Very nice! that's howit shoud be.

[vilas]

in my opinion BIS made something in strange way than...
i use BIS model released MLOD and i only added details on LOD 0, i used copy of BIS BMP2 config just making it strenght for 50 (from 250 to 300)
so i don't know why this behave in other way

in fact i saw that BIS BMP2 blows up after 150 fires from BMP2 30 mm cannon , is it real ???
in my opinion - BIS screwed something

[vilas]

Stavrogin - as i tested, making BMP2 from BIS released BMP2 model MLOD BMP2 blows up too , even if i use config from BIS without ANY changes
but when i use BIS ODOL model, it is 1.5 times stronger
in my opinion there was something wrong and when BIS was making binarisation, maybe some elements in Fire geometry LOD dissapeared (binarisation can make strange things)
i was looking for armostructural, material=XX, nothing helps and nothing changes effect
so there must be something bad with BIS model

this game is insane, i have tested BMP2 and T72
to destroy T72 - 5 long series of BMP2 cannon,
to destroyM113 and BMP2 7 series !!!!

this game values are total mistakes
and you told me my vehicles are wrong ???

BIS vehicles are wrong

if T72 is stronger than BMP2 and M113... no comment

hello

I would like to inform about some updates:

1) weapons pack:
> it contain new models, old G3A3 for 85 purpose, RPG-7 using different warheads (tandem, thermobaric, V, VL)
also I changed BIS AK74UB model's silencer for valid model, cause BIS AKS74U uses silencer from AKM family

2) vehicles "ViBI" addon:
> new model for BMP-1P
> reworked and more balanced armor values, because BIS made BMP2 so strong, that using 30 mm long serie it takes easier to destroy T72 than BMP2, now BMP and M113 are weaker, while my Bradley and BMP2D stronger

3) weaponholders addon:

> including few models more
> including SLA Militia and bonus addon with reskin of UAZ Van to "Militia", but bonus requires VIBI, it is bonus for VIBI users

4) BW addon :

> reworked model of German flak vest, added desert class and now my addon's soldiers use weapons Lowland Warriors mod addon of PZF-3 (included in archive)

5) NPL addon:
> modern Polish soldier in tactical vest added
> some vehicles reskins added (from old POL addon)

6) PWP addon:
>added MiniBeryl weapon (not 100% accurate)

all under OFP.GAMEPARK.CZ links, from first post of this topic


thank you all

@Vilas:
1. explosion of BMP:
- check your CFG of BMP. Maybe there is problem with "secondaryExplosion" property:

secondaryExplosion=-1;
// value<0: calculate from fuel/ammo cargo + tanks and multiply with abs(value)
// value>0: use value directly as hit in FuelExplosion

If this will not help then check convexity and naming of components in fire-geometry LOD.

2. damaged models after binarisation:
- use MLOD models for ingame testing and you can see all bugs on model in "arma.rpt" file. If there is no major bugs then binarisation will be OK.
"c:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA\arma.RPT"

Maybe this will help You.

[vilas]

not this, BIS BMP2 is stronger than BIS T72

please put in editor both vehicles, place another BMP2 to fire from it, use long series from cannon 30 mm (AP)

to destory T72 - 5 series, sometimes 5 and half...

to destroy BMP2 - over 6, explodes with 7-th serie

[MAA]

@Vilas:
hups.. sorry... I didn't read all posts correctly.

[Stavrogin1980]

That Ah-64A you are preparing... I am not a big admirer of that helo, but maybe it's a good idea to let the Community test this addon before
you add it to whatever pack or mod?.. After all, it's a a complex project.. So that there won't be any uber-weak BMP bugs etc.

Just saw your M230 for AH-64A - a very good addition, no doubt.
