I've found no cases of forest fires ever being used as a tactic in war. This could probably be regarded as a war crime.

@p00d73 which doesn't happen in real life? First OFP had these civilians being shot-dead by soviets...
It can happen not only on forest trees but on other vegetation/grass as well. There is known modder that made an addon to the ArmA II which made it possible, certain ammunition could even ignite the fire. I wouldn't mind moderate after battle fires here and there sometimes.

Dont worry - it will be in ArmA 3. Modder that made addon for this in A2 said on the BIS forums that it will be in A3 - vanilla or made by DMaverick :)
