* When i fire FFAR in to the light blue sea ,the splash fills up the windscreen, this happens from all altitudes! [http://dke.belgianeliteforce.be/blems/a10.jpg Image]
== AI Issues ==
* Tanks engines start up again when i fire and when i switch to gunner or commander the engine keeps running. MrD 1.08
It's a new feature of 1.08, it's the same if you "eject" from all ground vehicle, engine still on :) -[[User:Paul-Hewson|Paul-Hewson]]
 
==General Issues==
* Sometimes player(s) are unable to get out of chopper (except pilot slot) -[[User:Paul-Hewson|Paul-Hewson]]
* Sometimes when you take ladder you are blocked, but also when you take the ladder when on the rooftop your can man run straight ahead fall from the building get injured and get back onto the ladder (you still wounded) or you die.. (happens me 2 times on Pita red building rooftop)... after few test i've identified how to reproduce the bug, it doesn't matter what ladder you want to go down, it happens on prone position and the crounch position. Temp solution is to always been in normal position when taking ladder -[[User:Paul-Hewson|Paul-Hewson]]
 
==AI Issues==
In the second mission where I have to be an AT insurgent and must destroy 5 tanks:
 
I fired 3 ATs. Got 2 extra from an ammo dump.
Killed a man guarding the route to the 2 last tanks I have to destory.
After getting his ammo I don't have my US automatic rifle in my hands. My hands look like I carry the rif;e but I don't see it.
However I can should - I see a cross. Yet when I use my visor nothing shows at all and I don't know where to should.
Again I can should shot, but I can see the file.
 
After getting an AK from a dead enemy I can see the weapon visually.


Of course the AK is'nt better for good aiming.

* Since 1.08 patch, tank are getting their low part inside texture.

* Since version 1.08, the Javelin isn't well placed when in the back. Few part is in the soldier's head, that's not very annoying but that can be improve maybe ?

* In the Difficulty settings panel there is an option to Enable/Disable Rifle Tracers. This option is not working at all; regardless whether it's enabled or disabled all rifles (including even sniper rifles) fire tracer rounds. Please correct this issue. The new add-on sniper rifles that came with the version 1.04 do not fire tracer rounds (Russian KSVK and American M107 Beretta). The stock sniper rifles on the West and on the East side are all fit with tracers - a gross oversight from the point of view of realism which BIS is trying to portray. -SluggCDN

* M4A1 QDS ComptM2
== Weapons ==
Since the 1.08 patch, there is a bad aim with this weapon. When you switch to ironsight mode, you can see the bullet always hit over the red dot where all other weapons will it where you aim. (that's doesn't depend from the distance except very very close wall shot for example)
-[[User:Paul-Hewson|Paul-Hewson]]


* M136 (all AT Gun ? AA Gun ?)
{{GameCategory|arma1|Troubleshooting}}
Problem when M136 ammo get to 0, the soldier put the AT gun in the back and when you try switching weapons it can do various thing (switching between weapons even if you stop hitting keys, switch to the gun when you ask for the rifle.. that kind of bug)
If i remember right, before 1.08, the soldier keep the AT gun in his hand even if he doesn't have missile. Maybe that could be cool to put it back like that. -[[User:Paul-Hewson|Paul-Hewson]]
