Good job Baz , is it possible to download your video ?
many thanks.

I second this. I want to download it rather than stream it on that site.

unfortunately I erased all the videos I made because I was out of HDD room... But I do know that there is a feature on megavideo to download them.

but here you go, try this and let me know if it works...

Hi Baz. Love the videos but searching on the Megavideo site they don't show up. Might I suggest you give them an ArmA type tag so that they do?

[Baz]

the only way to watch the videos currently is the video stream on megavideo at the links i provided...

They do have appropriate tags to them:

arma2 operation arrowhead oa commanding ai squad combat mode

those are the tags in my combat mode video for example


I may do a video on fixed wing flight training... Specifically how to land aircraft ranging from AV8B, A10, C-130, etc... On an airfield precisely using the BIS ingame ILS system.

It is actually a very well made system and once you get the hang of it... You can land anything on any ILS approach in the game at any time. It was very challenging landing at night with no NVG enabled... And very fun.

Baz.. good stuff mate, I've relearnt things I'd forgotten, and picked up tips on things I'd never heard of before.

On the minus side though, I'm guessing you aren't in the military?
Some of your descriptions and info on unit formations and why they are used were pretty bad it has to be said.
I know you stated you were doing it on the fly, but even ten minutes research on google would have given you info and even links to official army manuals that would have given you the words you were desperately searching for during your commentary.. lol!

I'm not trying to derail your monumental efforts because you have done a cracking and worthy job here, but I was wincing at times during your commentary on the tactical side, and alot of newbies will be taking what you have said as gospel..

Good work though.. I appreciated the video approach!

In regards to formations it was meant as its usage in commanding AI in the game and how they react... Not actual real life usage of formations, tho I do have to admit I do not really have too much knowledge of other than needing to have a line of fire in a certain direction and to spread or compact the formation.

But I was a cadet in NJROTC and did have some experience with marching but that has nothing to do with squad based tactical movement. And is more of a "show" than anything else.

I think Baz did a great Job spending some time to put this together for the community,
it should be seen, not left for the read already archives of the forums.

that would be nice indeed to have this as a sticky
