@ClashClash899 жыл бұрын
As much as i admire this series of "Arma 3 Guides", I gotta speak out against the Dylyecxi's advise of engaging Aircrafts from the Sides or the back. The reasons for that are simple: a) Aircrafts are not really armored, therefore it doesn't matter where the missile will hit b) shooting a missile at a target heading in your direction will basically decreade the -travel-time of said missile (->short reaction time for the pilot) a target heading away from you will subtract the target speed from the missile speed (->longer reaction timing) c) your missle is heat-seeking and will go for the "next best target" not for the "prettiest around". Therefore: if the aircraft is facing you and pops the flares to its back the next best heat signature still remains the aircraft. Even if the missle goes for the flares,it will be more beneficial if the arc is behind your target instead of in front of it. At least that is my impression after launching god knows how many missles in KotH.
@Tomo-1.09 жыл бұрын
+Clash Cornholio it has to do with how missiles achieve and follow a lock, and their maneuverability. any missile that seeks, whether it's active or passive, has a specific FoV for it's tracking. if a missile is fired towards an aircraft heading directly at it and the pilot dodges it, the missile WILL lose the lock, and will no longer be useful, where one fired from behind will be less likely to lose lock since it will be able to react quicker and keep it's target in it's FoV

@ClashClash898 жыл бұрын
+Thomas Crowton Well. I never saw any Pilot (in Arma) being able to doge a front on missile, but plenty loosing the missiles behind them with flares. Soo my argument still remains the same. Also i can only imagine the FoV to become a problem if that missle gets so close that its basically already passed its target, or if id would encounter an unbelieably manouverable plane. I honestly cant even imagine any plane that may keep up with the manouverability of a missle due to the huge difference in mass and inertia. It seems to me as if you had to fool physics altogether to achieve a loss of lock due to FoV. But I'm not a real-world expert on this matter, and merely wanted to put my own impressions and experiances from Arma to discussion, as it is quite the opposite of what Dslyecxi mentioned to disussion.
@Tomo-1.08 жыл бұрын
Clash Cornholio yeah, im not dismissing your argument. and yeah, managing to dodge a head on missile would be difficult. my point was that if you DID manage to dodge it, you nearly immediately break it's lock, vs a missile that will continue to track you, if you manage to miss it from behind.

It is almost impossible to camp without being spotted in arms 3. The landscape, grass and bushes do not render. I mean even though i have the terrain rendering at its highest setting, and the object quality as well, grass and bushes seize to exist at 50 meters or further away from the player. Is this an Arma imperfection or is it something I can fix or download a script for? Does anyone has a solution?

Haidar Ghazal I guess you have trouble with your graphic card. Rendering at distance is defined by "distance draw" setting, which you can adjust in the options menu. If you put it at max it will exploit your cpu and gpu maximally, but also draw everything to a maximal visible distance. Also, I don't have the same problem because I already set the above-mentioned setting to max.

I disagree that launch AA from side of aircraft advise. missiles can only turn so much due to it's shape and thrust. if pilot dramatically speed up as missile approach the aircraft from the aircraft's 9 or 3 o clock, aircraft can easily dodge the missile especially when done with flares. 2ndly, it's easier to hide behind obstables if pilot see missile comeing on the radar. if you are facing the missile, or missile is coming from your rear, you cannot do much about it other than spraying flares.

I suspect the licensing costs may be part of the issue, but also research and accurate modelling costs may play a part as well. This is possibly the primary reason they set their sim in a fictional future time. But that may not be the whole issue, having a fictional future setting allows for both some cool cutting edge weapons and gear as well as getting the game away from sensitive political aspects that might arise from setting the game in a contemporary location within contemporary politics.

What he meant is that the sniper doesn't have to shoot in order to cost a lot of damage. Snipers doesn't have to take priority targets if the squad can take it them either dead or hostage. The only thing I find for a sniper to use bullets is if the ground team in pin down or if the mission is by two scouts.

Actually he claimed that snipers are scouts only while in reality scouting is only one of various roles a sniper can perform! It highly depends on the mission if snipers are executing high value targets, slow down enemy movement by shooting enemy infantry or scouting enemy positions (just to name a few)! Therefore there is no "true role" for a sniper, present or past, because in some cases it´s even part of the mission that a sniper fires a shot!
