What if the 'Persian power' that is portrayed in ARMA III is actually able to steal military secrets and develop the turret of the real world Merkava from the alternative to Isreal in the Arma-verse in secret... or ....With advances in tank technology stolen via cyber attacks by 'Big Red' - which is then sold on the open market the new hybrid tank is developed. After all the 'Persian power' being portrayed in this 'ARMA-verse' could have made alliances to allow it to harvest stolen tech to then grow a formidable force that could conquer the region and move west...it's all speculation after all, so who knows. One thing that we do need to keep on top of is that what ever we are seeing in this next instalment is going to be 'fictional'. The Merkava influenced tank is likely to be have tech and design influences from different sources. We need to be mindful that there is likely to be a Hybrid centric design aspect to all the concepts that BI are working on for ARMA III.

I don't think they are trying to hide anything. I believe some have mistaken a TEASER for a TRAILER. The current video is a Teaser I believe therefore something made merely to tease us...the bast**ds!!! ;) Looking forward to more delights...who knows maybe it will be there just in time for Christmas

There seem to be two Dams...I thought there was only going to be one. Bonus! Though it's a pity that we have two and can't blow them up...there must be some use for them in game...some kind of easter egg? Hope so. Nice, nice, nice!! :D

That is pretty damn gorgeous! For the Brits: Who's going to be the first to make a David Belamy nature mod! :D

Damn my ageing eyes and tired brain...having re-read it I believe you are right; at least we've seen the pictures :confused: ... Edit: Hang on though, don't people generally dam up rivers...I guess this isn't the thread to talk about it...apologies for bringing it up, just an after thought.

I know we've seen images of unconfirmed rivers in the past, but seeing it mentioned in the new Chernarus update is very interesting "When the valleys of the Burnaja and Svetlaya rivers were inhabited...". Very interesting...

Good luck guys, hopefully you continue with the work, it'd be a shame to stop. Completely understand about no public releases. Sad for us, but I guess we [the 'community'] have to live with the consequences from the actions of the (few) W*ANKER$ that roam this world and these forums!!!!! (Please excuse the language...) Can you please at least keep us updated on the work you do so we can admire what you are still doing...sounds a bit pointless, but I'm so F'ing nosey I can't help it:don3:

A very sad day indeed. I'm somewhat gutted by this, I was looking forward to finally playing ArmA with UK kit after a long long time; my rig got stolen sometime ago by some scaly so haven't tried any RKSL or UKF stuff! Theft is a sad thing, it takes a lot of desperation to do such things, it's sad because the people who do it realise the only talent they'll ever have is to ride on the shoulders of giants and claim credit for something that isn't theirs. I guess RESPECT has died in modern society, no matter where you live in the world...all very depressing. There is one thing certain in life, no matter where you are from or what language you speak...there is always a git somewhere who will spoil things for everyone else!!!! All the best RKSL, you were true gentlemen to have shared your amazing talent and the amazing work YOU created with us.

Dslyecxi, I think you should stay on topic mate and not post any more of these RL reference photos; its not clever, it's not funny and is really a waste of time, if you have access to A2 screen shots please share those with us and not these RL pics! I don't know...some people ey! :biggrin_o: That's more like it! The quality of the pictures look awesome, the shot of the two marines show arm hair!!! I mean Arm hair (or should that be ARMA hair) - now that's detail for you...have you thought about working for tiscali - or at least outsourcing your rig to them so that they can show the potential with A2?

If one were to create a fictional story that is set in the future, surely it would be plausible that, based on information available at the time, one could surmise that an F35B would be available in the story. I guess they can take artistic license as the reason for their choices.

It's a little late where I am, so let me clarify from my initial rantings...: Fictional name for the ship Flag: Thought you meant the the game box...there is a white star in the background... edited my initial comment to clarify that part. Think I completely confused you with my intiial comment re: flag...apologies... ...Any way back on topic... Surely the quality of the game is not represented in these images!? Will have to look closer at the other previews that come out...not too sure about the 486dx system that Tiscali seem to be using for some of these somewhat random images!

I think that's the US Army(?) White star...don't ask me why it's there...:confused: sorry not sure if you mean the game box...but having looked closer at the boxes in games (in the screen shots) I think the answer is obvious...everything the freakin' universe is made in TAIWAN!!!! I think since it's set in the future, they are trying to keep things fictional, but to some level contemporary too.

Excellent work!! Looks gorgeous!!! As soon as i saw it though I just started to think about Fred, Barney, Wilma, Betty, and Dino kicking (literaly) up some dust in it... :bounce3: Always a pleasure to see UK stuff on screen. :)

WTF!!! I won wast mi monie on sheet u BI monie graba steel mi cash with dis Crap. You still not put american flag the right way on chickens wing patch!!! --- Ok I'll stop, got to love the concept though. Just imagine Farma2 on the Wii! Can't wait for the UKF mod - FARMA2 - When Mad Cow's attack. Or the Operation French point Mod - FARMA2 Â - When Farma's strike! - inc. exclusive mission: Port blockade! (no offence intended, simply humour inspired by the entente cordiale) Promising news about the grass! Things are looking good! Â

That's part of the reason why I did it. Think addon makers get enough stick as it is. I'm with you there regards Real Life being more important, but I am hooked! The tenterhooks-cold turkey thing was a really bad pun, it is Christmas after all - plenty of crap jokes in the crackers! Back to ironing my shirts for work tomorrow (Yeah real life is really important - some things are anyway ). <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>Sorry for the</span> off topic!

Hey guys, Anyone else on tenterhooks about the next update and are starting to go cold turkey (ho ho ho) for the lack of news, I just saw this on the RKSL site: http://www.rkslstudios.info/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=55 Just thought I'd pass on the news (hope you don't mind Rock, et al). Â Looking forward to the next update. Amazing work so far guys (as usual)!!!!!

That is seriously impressive! I was blown away the first time I saw the proof of concept (with the Japanese sound track) but this, this is something else. Love the fact that is 'tweakable'. You sirs, are a group of certified geniuses. I loved the animated drop sequence (C130's)- If you had a group of para's in the back would their exit be animated as well, or are you going to leave it as the standard Mongolian-Cluster-F**k exit sequence that is default (no offence BIS)? Also re: the chutes, is there a drag chute for vehicles in the works? ROCK, UNN, VXR, et al, I salute you all.

The cat's feet aren't the only thing getting wet, my pants are slightly moist too after seeing this! What a Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just saw this puppy (pussy?) flying in the 'new' VBS2 video on the VBS2 site and it looks awesome (those who haven't seen it, it's a 'new' UK Content video. Lots of things in that video, a UK ARMA fans wet dream! ). I think I mistook this as the 'Future' Lynx in one of my previous posts (it was a very small picture). All I can say is that your daily posts do cheer me up after a hard days work! Good luck with all your work guys, it's always nice to see the results of peoples hard work and dedication. Till tomorrow!

That's a hell of a model for a WIP, with refinement it'll look even more awesome! Man you are a talented bunch at RKSL!! Was there talk in the ranks of the MOD of turning the AH1 into something more 'Naval'? Would be interesting to see a Naval-ised, Zebra cam'ed Apache ready to support the Bootnecks! (That wasn't a request by the way) Keep it up guys!

What a bunch of crazy nutters we all are, all getting our knickers in a twist about a game...I love it!!! Arma2 is looking very exciting and I loved the video trailer (in all it's HD glory). Nice little demonstration of what is to come, and I'm sure like most trailers, it's trying to show what it's capable of and not the finished product. It should have been popularly termed as a teaser to save on all the 'emotion' and 'bad blood'. I've read in a few of the developers posts that this is W.I.P. (Work In Progress). It's obvious that this post is (ahem) a bit off topic now so I'll get back to what I wanted to say... Looking good, though obviously not polished and a few place-holders; overall though it's got me excited and a whole lot of people in an emotional tizzy. What more could a company want in terms of promotion and marketing... In the immortal words of Swiss Toni "Making a computer game is like making love to a beautiful woman..." Lets all relax, and wait and see what happens. Besides there are more important things happening in the world right now that we should all be far more concerned about (Important News )! Really like the new pick up animation and the movement (though it is a tiny bit vomit inducing). Can't wait for more...'NEED MORE INPUT!' BIS ROKZ OK!

Wow! You guys are definitely busy! I've been away from these forums for so long and have come back just in time for Christmas to see these lovely little titbits. Looking forward to the next WIP'ing session and all the rest of the kinky updates you ladies are going to offer...ooh matron! In the spirit of it all...<span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>(Warning TWAT Alert! To the tune of that oh so popular carol: Do you hear what I hear?)</span> ...Said the night wind to the little lamb, "Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb, Do you see what I see? A (<s>Future</s>) Lynx, a (<s>Future</s>) Lynx, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite (it's not that big), With a tail as big as a kite (seriously, it's not that big)..." <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>...weeeee...amazing what you end up writing when you've been drinking sh!t wine...*hic*</span> Keep up the great work RKSL. Looking forward to the next 23 days even more now! <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>Edit: this sh!tty wine is making me see things, it's not a Future Lynx!</span>

I'd love to see an OV10 Bronco in game. I feel it would an ideal platform to conduct all sorts of Air-Air and Air-Ground operation. I feel a Bronco would be a great weapons platform. I'm no expert but I think it would fit in and feel 'right' for the RACS. A low cost aerial weapons and observation platform that would be highly effective against infantry and light armour. Â Â (Source:www.maneyaircraft.com/img/ov10.jpg) I still remember the DKM Bronco in OFP and remember how great it was for CAS And Recon missions. (Source:http://ofp.gamepark.cz/) Check out this more 'modern' set-up: (Source:www.cow.cc) More info on the net obviously, but would love it if one of the teams out there could make a one or even a few of the variations out there. Wikipedia: OV-10 Bronco

Would be an interesting asset to have in a Spec Op type mission. Imagine having HALO'd near a compound and then sneak into a camp only to be foiled by a pesky pooch who'd 'sniffed' you out and given your position away to the guards! Would also make escape and evasion missions interesting with a dog's being able to follow a trail...though all this would need a lot of serious scripting and likely a pipe dream! Impressed with the WIP at the moment and obviously there are some place holders so a matter of wait and see. Keep up the good work BIS!

Hangover...I'm going back to bed...I'm not fit to do anything today!!!!!!! Er...back on topic, please...nothing to see here...

I doff my hat in sheer admiration of your individual and combined talents sirs. The <s>NH90</s>(dumb ass) EH101 looks stunning; what are your thoughts on the 'Zebra parttern' camo scheme for the <s>NH90</s>EH101? You mentioned a while back that this was something you might consider. Please don't take this as being a request, I don't tend to make many, Just being a curious cat that's all. I'm guessing the scheme is mainly used in a maritime role; do you think the RM's are planning on using/adopting <s>NH90's</s> (again a dumb ass) EH101? Best wishes to you all and looking forward hearing and seeing more development news. EDIT: Corrections; my mind is elsewhere today!
