blackjacktom added a comment to T77964: removePrimaryMagazines & removeHandgunMagazines.

There's probably a better way but you could try something like this:

{this removeMagazine _x;}forEach(getArray (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> (handgunWeapon this) >> "magazines"));

blackjacktom added a comment to T76989: Add scripting command to add/remove weapons to/from turrets.

Unless there is already a way to do this these commands would be really helpful. People have apparently been wanting it for a long time (earliest request I could find was nearly 6 years old).

blackjacktom added a comment to T72628: The swamp bamboo thickets/bushes seem far too resistant to gunfire and explosives..

Could not reproduce, 9mm smgs worked fine through the bamboo. The auto cannon HE rounds do penetrate but they also have the exploding effect at the point of penetration, pretty sure that is a bug.

blackjacktom added a comment to T72589: Miniguns are too weak. Very little damage..

It's not extended armour. They do the same amount of damage as a 6.5 round. The RoF for the miniguns is extremely low and this combined with the pinpoint accuracy (#0001834, #0001747) they have makes them pretty useless.
The RoF is tied to the framerate (#0009828) so unless they add more shots per frame or add some splash damage they are always going to be terrible.

blackjacktom added a comment to T70828: RPG "Alamut" reticle calibration issue..

Can you please include more detailed descriptions in your tickets, I had to load up the editor to see what this is about.

The problem is that rockets fall short of the ranges when using the marked reticule.
eg. to hit a target at 300m you have to use the 500m marking.

It was definitely working in a previous dev build.

blackjacktom added a comment to T69440: AI gets stuck rearming on equipment change.

When vehicle crew dismount they also can get stuck in a loop, forever rearming from their vehicles or another nearby source.

For a simple reproduction:

Place an AI Marshall APC.
Give it a "GET OUT" waypoint.
When it reaches the waypoint they dismount and get stuck in the loop.

@InstaGoat
Don't forget that decibels are a logarithmic scale. I think an increase 6db is approximately doubling the perceived loudness.

I think what he means is that actions that become unavailable while you are using the action menu become greyed out.

blackjacktom added a comment to T68689: PiP Scopes.

They aren't PiP so you can't have two different levels of zoom. PiP uses to many resources to be used this way.

Personally I think the current 3d scopes are much better than the old 2d overlay.

blackjacktom added a comment to T60382: Helicopter collective ascent/descent rates are not consistent among devices.

Tested in latest build 0.71.107443 using the in game vertical speed meter and a 360 controller.

Collective raise and lower get the same (max) values when assigned to keys or axis as the keyboard inputs.

Analogue collective is a bit weird. Collective up actually covers collective up and collective down nearly entirely. Collective down only covers about the last 5%. So by assigning collective up (analogue) to one axis you can fly fairly well.

I think collective (analogue) should be renamed as both collective controls are analogue and it seems to be confusing people. Also collective up (analogue) and collective down (analogue) controls changed into one.

blackjacktom added a comment to T60382: Helicopter collective ascent/descent rates are not consistent among devices.

There already is a ticket for the roll axis http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=8002.

Both collective forward / backwards and the rudder / pedals seem to work fine.

blackjacktom added a comment to T60382: Helicopter collective ascent/descent rates are not consistent among devices.

You can assign the normal collective up / down to an axis and it will work. It's not just off and on.

And I assume collective (analogue) is supposed to be assigned to a joysticks throttle or similar and therefore works as intended.

This should be marked as fixed, however roll still has the same problem (not being able to reach 100% either way).
