ArmA 2 OA: Apache Gunning & FLIR Sniping

Why does that video look different to this one, i mean the gun sights and whatnot (im not talking about when he's using the drone btw)?



Also can someone confirm vehicle FLIR? Im sure its there but ive seen a couple of the videos and noones used it yet.

Wow.

I played for a few hours last night and I must say I'm really impressed with OA so far! What a smooth ride this is. Becuase let's face it - no previous Bohemia game could ever be accused of being smooth, am I right?

But this, this feels different and it runs so much better than ArmA 2. Maybe my quad is allowed to work as it should, finally, I don't know what it is. And I don't really care becuase I'm just enjoying the hell out of OA right now.
Love how the campaign kicks off as well (I haven't played more than a few missions yet).

Even the editor feels faster and smoother now. A pure joy for mission makers like myself

The FLIR is a epic win of course.

The weapons I tried so far feel fresh and there is a lot to choose from. Good stuff.

Radio comms don't sound as stiff now, at least they seem less 'in your face'.

new era of the super realism.
T-55 against HMMVV.

Russian HEAT ammunition can not damage the super car of Americans.

But from the HE ammunition immediately death.

Bug or so conceived?

Most probably a "feature" called penetrability - check if you hitting engine or something hard and unpenetrable. HEAT round has different settings than older HE rounds (speed, caliber...) too.

• The PEQ box lasers make things a bit more interesting.
• And the thing that surprised me the most was how your character now moves when you are driving or flying, that was so cool even though it was a very minor thing.

Could you (or anyone) please elaborate more in this?

Uziyahu's video only shows the use of regular NVG. The second video shows the use of FLIR sights by the AH-6X (white-hot, marking targets) and the AH-64 (black-hot, 0:59 onwards). Both vehicles (along with many others) can switch between these two FLIR modes as well as regular NVG.

Is this feature only available to the HE rounds? Or does it also extend to other ammo types such as the 5.56 and 7.62? Would be cool if so, thus preventing the destruction of armored vehicles with these small calibers.

Either way, those HE round parameters seem to need some tweaks...
