    Are you talking about an "armor commander" in your group doing this?  I mean, I can't possibly regulate how players choose to play their roles.  I think the only thing I can suggest here is that you offer some kind of suggestion for how to alleviate this situation.

    In my opinion the armor crews aren't really fit for I&A, alot of newbies play it and it's a casual game mode, it's not AWE. For me, I&A is a game mode you can jump on and play solo or with a group depending what you want, that includes playing armor solo. In I&A 3 I can do a sides until i get an MBT and enjoy solo crewing it. In I&A 4 if I want to play armor, I'm forced to join an armor crew and people that I might not know/ like, or simply never play armor, because I prefer and many others do prefer to play solo. Not forced into a group. If I wanted to play with crew/ in a group, I'd join a group in I&A, or play AWE. If the reason for armor crews is to limit the amount of armor pieces, just limit the amount of tanks allowed at the same time. Also, I believe this would make APCs be played more. Since choosing a specific role for playing armor and then choosing the Marshall isn't very common.

    Right now, any group leader can lock their vehicle, as long as it's a land vehicle; air vehicles can't be locked as you could create problems transporting players, and attack vehicles don't have enough seats to justify locking.

    Everyone in the group can buy vehicles, so why can't everyone in the group lock them? The owner of the vehicle should be able to lock it, not the SL. The Orca, Hellcat, Kajman and Xi'an all have transport seats, and it could be annoying when you land at base and someone rushes towards the chopper, gets in and starts asking for transport.

     

    That is, of course, what I prefer and my opinion is.

  2. I doubt it's possible to make a laser designator use data link send, since in order to send and receive data link you need to have some sort of sensor on the vehicle. I believe all helicopters have data link receive.  So usually when there's an UAV around your sensor fills up. But if there isn't a UAV around you most likely wont see anything on the sensor. I believe most vehicle has data link receive but not send. About locking onto the laser, first the DAGR needs to be selected as an weapon, since the minigun can't target it. And it has to be directly on it, not just close to it directly on it, so it's quite hard to lock on to it.

    So you're better of to dump fire your DAGR at the target or wait for it to get hot (If it's a vehicle), a good way to make AI turn on the engine is to shoot at them with the minigun or close to them, it usually makes them move around start looking for you.

    So, you can lock onto lasers you can't see on the sensor and that you can, but you can never lock onto it using R (switching targets from the sensor) sins it's only a RWR sensor. So either way it's gonna be hard to use lasers with the Orca.

  3. If you read the link Lindi sent you'll understand it. But I'll give you the short version.

    You were flying the Orca on an CAS mission, there was an lase but your sensor didn't pick it up. But you still remember being able to see one some other time.

    All the the transport choppers has an RWR sensor, the RWR sensor can pick up active radar threats, such as an Tigris or an Shikra with the radar on. The range is twice that of the radar range of the vehicle. Say for example a Shikra is facing you, the Shikra has an active radar range of 13km that means your Orca will pick it up on the sensor 26km out. But the RWR sensor is limited to seeing only active radars, hence why you couldn't see the lase at the time.

    But for say there would be an friendly vehicle that has an laser and strobe sensor close to you (I.e. some sort of UAV) that happens to have data link send. It would send it's sensor data to your vehicle (as long as your vehicle has data link receive) meaning your sensor will show both what it can see itself, and what the UAV can see. That why you can see lasers on your sensor some times.

    But even with data link a RWR sensor can't target something by itself, the only way to achieve a lock on lasers or vehicles with an Orca with DAGR is to directly look at the laser or vehicle in first person and press T.

    That's unfortunately the curse utility choppers are stuck with. A vehicle with any of the other sensors such as active and passive radar, visual, IR and laser sensors can directly target stuff from the sensor input, but they are limited in other ways such as weather.

    My English is nowhere near perfect, so please don't mind any errors in the text thank you.

  4. It's very rare to see the Xi'an from side missions, you see more CAS jets tham Xi'an. While I do understand that there's a few amount of pilots that can fly the beauty, but I really enjoy flying it and it's way more fun when troop transporting. And if it's too op, than at least make unarmed one more common.

    Who do you think i am? Some kind of hard-working guy? I'm the laziest man that has ever existed

  6. I know there's been added more enemy air (if theres 40 players online 1 jet will spawn per AO). Thats good, but now theres like 0 enemy choppers. I would like the AO's to be more alive. Sometimes per AO there comes a transport chopper that transport a enemy squad of inf, the enemy CAS planes actually do bomb runs (As far as i've seen the CAS versions of the enemy planes never actually do CAS they just attack our choppers.) 

     

    And this idea is off the topic above (idk if it's possible) if it was possible you guys should've already added it. But is it possible to add a arsenal directly to the vehicle inventory (AT soldiers often load up prowlers with missiles) and would it be possible to access that arsenal from the driver seat and load up the vehicle instead of first filling up a backpack then going to the car and filling the car up. 

     

    Sorry if the grammar or spelling was bad my English suck.
