Not directed at you, just excitement.

Oh okay, I'm exited as well, especially wondering how it would work on the Steel Viper map, like it would probably be completely out of place as a older British destroyer suddenly being on a river somewhere in a desert.

After the Brits were done with them they sold them to Pakistan. Steel viper is a dried up river/ lake bed. Could have connection to the sea, either way realistic or not it should be fuckin sweet seeing that as an objective.

I was joking about it being on Steel Viper naturally

Well, the Pakistanis call it a Destroyer, even thou its technically too small to be one compared to modern ones, but saying that, the modern Type 45 destroyer is the same size now as a WW1 Dreadnought Battleship

Kind of puts the use of military terms in to perspective, how the parameters of using it changes from time to time. Through what I was referring to was this

Also damnit Rhino, you're usually straight to the point so I don't know when you're pulling my leg in these sorts of times.

Can we maybe just get a little sneak preview of the Argies?

Just to learn their camo's and maybe a little hardware?

Because both factions use the FN FAL right?


Ps. Any other sneaky preview is also very welcome!

Keep up the good work!

This might be what your looking for: The Argies are coming! - Project Reality Forums

There are also loads of other old updates, listed HERE, although some stuff has changed for v1.4, most of it is more or less the same as before and any changed stuff will be shown in future updates

quick question Rhino ?

about the Argies cas or jets regarding take off and landing...

most of us use the vertical landing method in-order to land on the aircraft carrier with the Harrier... (to avoid crashing it)

about Dassault Mirage III or the A-4 Skyhawk while im sure the the Skyhawk is a Carrier based aircraft (not sure about the Mirage)

isn't going to be hard for them to land on their Carrier with out the Hook thingy that grab the plane upon landing ?

does they have a Runway or something...

maybe a stupid question but i never played the old version of PR:F before

idk how CAS worked on Argies side

Mirage/Dagger isn't a carrier aircraft, although yes, the A-4s are, but during the war all the aircraft that took part only operated from land bases, with all fast jets taking off from airbases in Argentina and flying to the Falklands, refuelling on the way from KC-130s

This is what the Argie jets ingame will also have to do, minus the refuelling part since we can't do fuel in PR, let alone aerial-refuelling, and they will have to fly quite a long way to and from the islands

If you look in the bottom left of this mega map, showing the area outside the 8x8km minimap border, you will see the Argentine Airbase Rio Grande in southern Argentina:

Well the harrier shouldn't really be landed in any other way, other than possibly a "rolling landing" (ie, wings providing semi lift while flying forwards but engines also pointing downwards, and you have to come to a short, rolling stop on the deck) but this wasn't ever used during the war to my knowledge and is only a later tactic to allow STOVL aircraft to bring back a bigger payload, but is much riskier and slows down carrier ops too.

thnx for the Info Rhino
