Arma 2

Any tank related games you want to share with us? Maybe if you can play it online, you could organise an online battle!

Arma 2

Post by doc larsson »

Hi Guys,

was wondering if there were any tankers in here willing to try the above game and help me out in my clan.

http://www.527th.co.uk/

We are growing steadily and will now be looking for some armoured support and also some helo/fixed wing pilots. Driving tanks requires a driver, gunner (main and .50cal guns) and commander/radio op. Flying requires a pilot and TAC officer in attack helos. Chinooks etc require pilot,loadmaster and 3 gunners for cover.

The game itself is quite ram intensive so you need a good pc. We also use teamspeak to communicate with each other out of game but in game we will need teach you to use military radios, as the missions are set in a 144sq km map. Tanks include T34/85, T55 and 72 on opfor team and abrams on blufor team. There are gun mounted suvs' bmps strykers,m110s humvees,landies.motorcycles.quads, bradleys and also recovery lorries etc. Flying side has: warthog a10s raptors,harriers hercs (which you can also para from !), little birds apaches blackhawks hinds super pumas and chinooks.

As for grunts, there are loads of roles to fill. Squad leaders, medics, snipers .infantrymen have a whole load of weapons. Every assault rifle you can think of from everywhere in the world. these can be adapted with loads of scopes, (thermal/nv etc). As a sniper you will be required to learn windage, distance ranging and camouflage and concealment. We also have artllery spotters who can call in artillery/air strikes !

It may sound quite daunting but the game is huge fun with some missions lasting 3 hours or more ! We do advise new members to come to training sessions and offer in-house training. So anyone who fancies giving it a try pm me or come on our teamspeak. Ohh you will need headphone and a mic !

Hi!! there are also a couple of mods available for Arma II that are WWII based, Iron Front which lets you play as Russians or Germans on the Eastern front from '41 to '45 and features tank battalions and infantry in huge mass battles and Invasion '44 which centers mainly on the European theatre with even more units and places think they are working on a Africa mod at the moment.
you can find out about all these mods at the strategy informer website which is a cool place to find loads of WWII pc games.
hope that helps someone looking for better games than World of Tanks :)
hmmm tanks......
