Noticed they FINALLY fixed the unbuttoned crew when player is SL. That was really a deal-breaker for a lot of my mech squad missions. So, how about the pistol thing? I removed every handgun from my missions and don't want to continue that if I don't have to.

Thanks,

EDIT: Huh. There are more people viewing the DayZ thread than the Arma2 one. Guess I'll have to check that out eventually.

wasnt even aware of any pistol bug :S i've certainly never seen the AI useing a pistol during our missions. RPGs against humans is still there mind, allthough you could argue that for certain factions thats accurate as certain turbin folk do it.

AI will draw a sidearm if an enemy is very close, maybe only near buildings, not sure. The pistol bug involves AI units equipped with such to draw the pistol and then cease walking altogether. The only way to undo it was to switch to that unit (if he was playable) and change back to rifle. It wouldn't always happen, but often enough with my setups. I used to give my snipers/marksmen a pistol. Not anymore.

I think the RPG firing at humans is more of a scare tactic. They should keep it for militias, but not the pros. The AI isn't that modular, I guess.

I just noticed that driving wheeled vehicles is sooooo much better with the latest build than it was a year ago. Nice.

Not sure if the pistol bug has been fixed.. but it has been a pain , and surfaces in many missions where the designer had given pistols as side arms to troops in game.
Many times when being attacked, AI troops had pistols drawn instead of their rifles, so mission builders had to leave them out, or you as the user had to make sure before the start of any mission, you had dropped all pistols, (apart from the one your character was using)..
