Bohemia Interactive has given Arma Refork with the new version 1.3 an extensive update.
From now on you can download the new update for version 1.3 called “Fire Support” for Arma Refork – and that is quite generous. Bohemia Interactive donates new vehicles, weapons and gameplay improvements.
First there would be two protectors: the LAV-25, which is equipped with a 25 mm car canon M242 and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine rifle M240 and offers the US armed forces a powerful new front line with a 7-fold optical visor for a large distance, as well as the BRDM-2, a lighter educational vehicle that is with its 14.5 mm KPVT machine rifle and the 7.62 mm point reinforced the Soviet and FIA forces. In the future, the helicopter UH-1H and MI-8MT will no longer only be vans, but also combat helicopters with removable rocket capsules and advanced collimator target devices for precise goals.
Realistic mortar systems are also newly introduced, which are intended to help suppress enemy advances in the game and to interrupt care lines. The Soviet 82 mm mortar 2B14 and the US 81 mm mortar M252 require coordination with spotters for a maximum effect. The battlefield itself will become more dynamic and realistic in the future thanks to decaying trees and collapsing buildings.
With “elimination” there is also a new single player mission, in which she slips into the role of a US special command, which is supposed to switch off a high-ranking Soviet officer in Regina. There should be several ways in the mission that lead to the goal.
Further revisions according to official information:
- Extended vehicle logistics: Transport vehicles (M923A1, Ural-4320) can now transport up to 1,500 supplies. New transport and freight variants of the UAZ-452 improve mobility and supply capacity. The FIA forces now have access to UAZ-452, BTR-70 and BRDM-2 vehicles. Civil variants of the helicopter UH-1H and MI-8 were also introduced.
- Higher ammunition supply: Players: Inside, a higher rank must achieve in order to gain access to more advanced weapons and equipment, which balances the arsenal system.
- Conflict mode improvements: Players: inside can no longer spawn on contested bases, which makes strategy and planning even more important. The conquest time now depends on the radio network connection, which increases the tactical depth. Smaller conflict game modes were introduced for faster battles.
- AI improvements: AI soldier: Inside, movable goals can now pursue better, take it more effectively, carry out counterattacks and carry out flank maneuvers, making it a more fatal and realistic threat.
