I really like the look of the OPFOR in ARMA3 and wouldn't mind playing as them. I don't in the previous ARMA's as I don't really like the Russian hardware in ARMA.

These look badass (anyone wanting to start an argument over how disgusting it is that BI are doing near-future please go elsewhere...)









I like the look of the tanks too but not sure which faction these are with but presume Soviet as there is a Havoc flying over one in a screenshot.



Like the sloped turret like the Israeli Merkava.


EDIT: actually looks like both sides have similar tanks:

Yeah, I'm getting the £20 Alpha version too, nothing of any real value for me in the next one up. I have to wait until Thursday to get it though frown

IIRC the background story is that Iran is the big bad wolf, and having earlier conquered Israel they now have Merkavas (including the Namera APC version smile2 ) as well as Tavors if the first picture is something to go after. There is also the Russian coil/rail/something-gun tank that the OPFOR get to play with.

I fin it strange that the Iranians are using Israeli equipment in this game but that said, they look great.

Looks very 'tron' smile

I'm sure that gun is going to slice through other tanks.

Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.
