Satchels and Explosives

[shadow]

As most you know i like blowing stuff up (who dosent?) but after several
test on AO demo i found some things that should come into consideration while playing

SATCHEL CHARGES are used for destroying tanks, buildings, and sometimes
for breaching enemy positions, also youre max distance for activating satchel charge is 299M after that
the touch off option will not pop up; i tested with some AI in AO demo and found out what will happen in the following range with out cover

*0-18m instant death

*19-24m broken legs, small wounds and agitated

*25m+combat efficient

GRENADES such as the m67 or RGO tactical grenades are used to take down groups of enemy's, breaching buildings, securing MG nest and trenches,i recommend you at least carry one of these with you.
The following ranges describe what will happen to you if found in them with no cover.

*0-10m instant death

*11-14m broken legs small injuries and also agitated

*15m+combat efficient



hope that this becomes good use to you in the battlefield i will be posting launchers with there trajectory shortly
NOTE* THIS WAS TESTED ON ARMA 2 AO DEMO

M32o tactical Grenade Launcher is found on some us weapons and in the opfor M16 this deadly attachment can be
used for small squad of enemies or to fire flares witch come in red, yellow, white, and green. flares will last until they contact the ground. The death radius with the HE rounds of m32o is 1-7 meters at 8 to 9 meters you' re legs will not be able to function while 10m you will have small wounds of debre

Opfore GP-25 also has the same radius and damage as the m320 and has the same type of flare ammunition.


RPG-7v has 3 diferent types of AT round 7V, 7VL, and 7vr. each of these only have a unit
killing radious of 5m.
These are not made for enemy ground units but for armored units and APC's,
to compare these we used the Humvee a US Tusk, Lada, and BTR 30, at a range of 50m


*7v witch was capable of destroying a lada and btr with no issues but for the Humvee it will take 2 rockets
witch gives the enemy time to disembark and engage or spot you, and for the tank it took more then 10 rockets!
i recomend aiming for the gun to make it unusable since it will take to mush ammo to bring it down

*7vl was able to eliminate Lada,BTR and Humvee with only one rocket but for the tank it took
7 rockets to destroy.

*7vr REMEMBER that it takes 3 slots to be carried. 7VR is the strongest rocket for armore for the rpg; able to make the tank into red state with only 3 rockets and able to it has proven to be the best for tank control in arma 2 ao 4 rockets are needed to destroy it but after those 3 rockets the tank is basically useless.Although it is high on damage the 7vr is less accurate since the bullet drop is faster.

US have alot of lunchers to test so im going to start of with the basics such as the m136 and the MAAWS.

M136 is a fully anti tank rocket luncher with deadly acuracy, it has a range of 75 to 2500 METERS and only capable of carrying the m136 rocket. We used the same objects as the rpg and the score were suprising. Although it takes 6 slots to carry 1 missile it eassyly took down light armored vehicles such as the Humvee, lada, and btr. For the tank it made the gun unusable with 2 rockets although it took 8-9 rockets to fully bring it down making the gun unusable should make life easier for the team

The MAAWS is an unguided multi-role rocket luncher witch has 2 types of ammunition; HEAT(High Explosive Anti Tank) and HEDP(High Explosive Dual Purpose). The HEDP has a unit death radious of 22!(more then a satchel charge)
Everyone witch is found 23-30 meters away will have broken legs 30 to 34 meters had extreme wounds but still able to move only 35+ is safe distance for this deadly explosive witch is also able to destroy a lada, and a btr 40, witch demonstrates that this rocket is best for engaging light vehicles and groups of enemy's. The HEAT rocket just like the RPG 7v's only has a death radius to ground units of 5M it is used mostly for armor and vehicles. This was able to take down the lada, btr and Humvee with no problems, now the tank surprisingly took less then the m136 with only 4-5 rockets.
