Welcome Good to see another mount and blade fan around

+1 for this if it would be possible, would make piloting so much easier without having to repeatedly check the map for markers etc... Might stop a few crashes as well!

Hey there!

I think that updating the in-game FAQ with Amentes' method would help a lot because people are still trying to use the old and now ineffective method that is still there. This leads to either UAV's exploding repeatedly and being wasted or one of us having to explain to each new Operator the revised method. I don't know how difficult changing that would be so maybe this is an unreasonable request but I thought I would just throw it out there.

+1 Would be nice too see better British Weapons!

Here is the quote about how to start the greyhawks without explosion just in case you missed it. All credit goes to Amentes, this is his work not mine: "2.81 UAV procedure: 1) Ensure the landing gear isn't clipping the ground: Take Stomper Drive up behind the Greyhawk you wanna fly Bump it a little bit 2) Start-up: Open UAV Terminal Select the bumped Greyhawk Place Waypoint 1km+ away from Greyhawk Take GUNNER position Observe engine startup 3a) Engine start-up: Await UAV movement Take control of Driver immediately once it moves on its own If it parks itself into a wall, use your Stomper to push it 3b) Engine fails to start after a minute of waiting: Take control of Driver Best of luck! 4) Take-off Flaps down full Taxi to runway Apply speed until it lifts off on its own" I hope it helps!

It is possible to both lase and drop bombs with the same greyhawk, which makes them far more effective on EU1. Honestly I am only speculating as to why the respawn time is so long, but the same reason was given for not adding in armed aircraft other than as rewards so I assume it is for the same reason, only a staff member could give you the proper answer.

I see, I have found that nudging the greyhawks has meant that they almost never explode although there do still seem to be some problems. In terms of the respawn time I believe this is to avoid making the greyhawks too powerful as this is a game focussed on infantry fighting, which is also why any other aircraft with air to ground weapons are rewards, as this means that the AO is not simply cleared out by aircraft before the infantry can even get there.

As far as I am aware, the guide at the very bottom of this post, by Amentes, gives an almost 100% success rate when starting the greyhawks, or at least it has with me: http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/topic/3140-how-to-use-the-uavs-basic-and-in-depth-guide/.

Hey there

I believe that there was a problem where a lot of teamkills were being caused by people using thermal scopes because you can't see the uniform being worn, and also that the thermal scopes were being overused, even in daytime where they are completely unnecessary.

A good way to start improving the tactical level of play could be to encourage people to read this: http://ttp3.dslyecxi.com/ . Its a really good guide on how to play as a co-operative, tactical group and is divided up into sections covering everything from the basic rifleman to calling in air support. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in having a more 'milsim' like experience.
