"Grass now provides concealment also in distance" <- finally

lets hope most servers start to force the grass on .. i havnt noticed any difference in performance with grass on or off, it just gets a billion times uglier with no grass .. and looks dated like some 1999 3dfx-game without grass .. and makes me depressed to run around in a counterstrike environment .. maybe .. uhm ..the later part belonged to another thread

Okay, first impressions:

My test system at work had errors updating, the game system at home not.

Everything seems to work fine, I do get the impression that I have a slight new "micro lag" when moving around fast.

AI engagement ranges are trough the roof compared with 1.04, seems as good as the Zeus AI mod. Warfare mode has been improved (as in the beta). What hasn't been improved on is that T-90s still get brewed up with about 120 .50cal hits (slightly more than a single magazine). This is a SERIOUS problem since it renders OPFOR tanks about as dangerous as two or three M2-Hummers.

The Apache is an absolute beauty. The view distance improvements (same as beta) are nice.

All in all, no big surprises for those who played the betas, but a solid update with some sweet extra content. Still no magic "performance bullet" though, FPS killer trees still present, and the T-90 bug was known to the developers, should have been fixed by the "Minimalhit" value but isn't.

"new Suppressive fire command"

In one of the beta patches they mentioned the command was removed because it "did nothing", has a working version of the command returned? Don't have the game with me right now so can't try it.

edit: perhaps I should post less impulsively. Already a thread dedicated to it: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=92248

Looking pretty good so far and seeing mostly positive feedback regarding BI's support in comments sections..

Suppresive command...well I can not get it work. It looks like it is functional, but in fact, it does nothing for me. One thing is clear, it doesn't work in that way you point somewhere for suppresive fire. Units don't fire a single bullet.

Can anyone please explain how it is supposed to work? Thanks.

btw Apache is beautiful.

I can't get the suppress command to work either.

On a different note, does anyone know if the "CDF_Soldier_AKM" and "CDF_Soldier_AKS" classes were deliberately removed from 1.05? They are no longer in the editor and you get a warning if you try playing a mission that used to have these units in it.

I really liked the minicampaign.
