RHS Escalation

As in AGM thread, I’m going to take the opportunity to hype everyone to new RHS Escalation update. It brings loads of new stuff. I don’t have time to look all of it right now, but I’m definitely going to compile my list of favourites. Just from glancing the changelog I can see it’s going to be very exciting.

As promised, here are some changes that have caught my attention: (Keep in mind I haven’t tested anything I’m just reading changelog)

  • Added sight folding on AT4
  • Added slingload ability to CH47 & UH60
  • Added: New sounds for all US weapons and heavyweapons
  • Improved M68 CCO hex texture
  • Added tracer every 4 rounds to M249 mag
  • Fixed silencer for M4/M16 family (now uses 5.56 silencer instead of 6.5)
  • HMMWVV driver sits very high
  • Added FFV to appropriate vehicles
  • Added armed HMMWVVs (M2 and Mk19)
  • Added patchless infantry model with insignia support

One thing I did not find is if they have fixed the bullet drop on RHS weapons.

Ooooh new sounds, thats great!

Yesterday when we started firing in the woods and it sounded like you are firing from a toilet. I hope they fixed it!

4

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[center][b]AT4 has zeroing from 100 to 400 meters in 50 meter increments!!!

You can shoot from open vehicles and helicopters!!!

BlackHawk and Chinook can use sling load rig!! (blackhawks are bugged, so after 30 seconds of flight it destroys ATRQ)

You can actually aim and shoot at something with M68 CCO scope!

Machineguns have tracers in their belts which is great for adjusting your fire!

No more annoying 1stCav insignia patch on our shoulders!
[/b][/center]

I like the new weapon sounds, but one thing they still haven’t fixed is bullet drop for M4 weapons.

5

The AT4 can zero? Gods, I feel like I should be crying!

6

fangirling intensifies

7

So far I’ve exclusively been using the M249 and not being quite able to tell where the shots are landing is a pain in the ass. Makes me all tingly

8

Still no drop… Well that’s okay I’ve been missing anyways might as well continue to practice with no drop? Looking forward to testing the new scope in hopefully Friday mission if you need some help testing all the new updates Clarke were always there for you

9

I feel like I should clarify; There is no date set for our repository update yet. Do not expect these updates before we officially announce it. Clarke is currently very busy atm and a lot of mods have been released in meanwhile, meaning there is a lot of work to be done on top of usual workload. We will be sure to announce when the repository will be updated.

10

I am going to announce some testing dates in the event section in order for us to update our repo safely but as soon as possible. Among the NCOs we’re currently discussing how we’ll organise the testing to make things go over smooth and effectively.

11

There should be more emphasize on the findings. I’m pretty sure we’ve seen the AT4 problem over a week ago but nothing changed and that got us rekt during the last OP…

12

If you’re referring to two AT4 shots on MAV on last operation (AAF Mora), it was not due to AT4 but due to AAF Mora itself. I’ve been doing some testing in editor and I found out that Mora is completely unaffected by AT4 shots, but will blow up if an RHS M2A2 Bradley gets hit and destroyed by AT4 shot, right next to Mora. In other words, we found what actual problem is and we are working on it.

13

YAAAAAY NEW TOYS!!

Yup, they’ve finally released more toys. From their initial change log they do not specify how many for each side, but let’s hope for the best. I’ll try out new packs tomorrow. In meanwhile… http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27139

[quote name=“Armaholic”][list]
[] Countless new vehicles: tanks, cars, IFVs and APCs for both sides to use, as well as atmospheric objects like radars.
[] Completely new soldier models and dozens of gear objects make for over 700 possible unit customization possibilities. Use the supplied virtual ammo crates to quickly make your own custom setups.
[] New weapons and attachments. Have everything at your disposal to take on your enemy.
[] Realism enhancements: full PhysX support and realistic configurations, complex Fire Control Systems for applicable vehicles. New user interface items representing control and awareness systems of vehicles to increase atmosphere and gameplay dynamics. Also our constantly expanding and improved decal system has even migrated to the US side.
[] Fully ZEUS compatible.
[] Fully ALiVE compatible. Many thanks goes towards ALiVE team making sure RHS Evolution can be enjoyed using ALiVE Framework!
[] Fully Task Force Radio compatible. Many thanks to the developers of TFA and their effort making sure everything was in place for you to enjoy it right out of the box! TFA will even contain new radios made in the style of our units!
[] Future-proof: sling-loading will work once they make their way to the stable branch. If you are playing on development branch you should have these features enabled already! FFV will come later as releasing it now would cause problems for those of you playing on the stable branch.
[*] Many many more…
[/list][/quote]

Sweet! Love more toys :smiley: Getting horny already!

15

Here are the two full changelogs:

US Armed Forces
Russian Federation

It’s a heck of a read. A ton of things we were griping about were addressed, for example M113’s wobbling above 60km/h etc.

16

These are my little finds. It’s not as much as they hyped, although I haven’t had time to read detailed changelog.

M113, has updated driver seat. Driver has greater visibility when turned in through PIP screens, which might be heavy on performance for some members. Another good thing is that driver, when turned out, is properly modelled and only his head pokes out of the vehicle. A weird thing is that once M113 gets moving it will on his own speed up and hold it’s speed of 26km/h. Don’t know if this is meant and if it is like this in real life.

M2A2/3 Commander seats haven’t been nerfed, and currently still have 3x zoom.

MRAP vehicles are included. They are carrying 8 passengers (1 driver 1 co-driver and 6 passengers) and 1 gunner for armed version. Interior is non existing, I haven’t made the screenshots, but it’s even less than in trucks. They show some potential for usage.

Trucks have also been included. Like MRAPs they seem to be WIP, but show great potential, like 5cal on top. There are four versions in total. There is lightly armoured and heavy armoured versions, though only driver cabin is armoured, not the truck bed. And then there are two different sizes of each version, one carries 12 passengers in the back +3 in cabin, other has 14 in the back and 3 in the cabin.

C130J, many of you will be happy with this, and I think it will give us some options too, but not that many though. It can carry 24 passengers and 3 in cockpit. It has a huge space in the back so you can fit 1 and a half humvees (I don’t know why you would want to do that I’m just saying it’s that big). However, the space in the back has no apparent usage. Advice, do not load a humvee in C130J, get in air and then open the loading ramp in mid flight.

FUCKING RUSSIAN ATOMIC BOMB ARTY THINGY, I see a lot of mission potential for this, as in for us to have targets to destroy like from Bond movies. Advice here, stay at least 5 clicks away from the hit site when using 9P123-1M (9M79-1-B).

New uniforms, have been introduced to US side. 3 new uniforms with matching helmets. However vests come only in old patterns. I like new patterns very much, desert and woodland camo look so much better, hopefully we’ll receive matching vests with next update.

Russian AK with UGL, has fixed iron sights. But it’s OP in regards to RH M4’s UGL, as RHS’ AK’s range up to 450m, while RH’s M4’s have only range up to 250m.

These are just most prominent changes, or changes that we are going to notice the most. There are couple of new weapons on each sides, but nothing awesome.

17

Looks amazing ! Looking forward to what we can do with these new additions :smiley:

18

[justify]Yay!

RHS just received a new update to v0.3.7. Mostly performance stabilisation, bug fixing and compatibility with Marksman DLC - but there’s also a couple of new toys to play with.

Changelog Russians

Changelog Americans

We will most likely upload a repo update after tonights training, really depends on whether I get enough time to test the mod on the server first.

EDIT: omfg new BluFor helos UH1Y and AH1Z :-o

EDIT 2: "Added category class to vehicles (fixes ZEUS cost module recognition + 3rd party mods may use it for better vehicle class recognition)" –> I’ve been waiting for this a long time, hope that now the vehicle markers in Zeus will show a tank as a tank instead of infantry. Was sometimes very frustrating to find an AI vehicle on the move as MCC.

EDIT 3: "Added Kimi HMD for various helicopters" –> I really hope this will be optional because many pilots dislike the Kimi HUD as it blocks vision a lot, especially when zoomed in.[/justify]

19

[justify]Was not able to conclude the server tests fully. The update will be ready for download a couple of hours after Fridays operation.[/justify]

20

I’m amazed we didn’t notice this before. While testing some RHS fixes today, [user avatar=“https://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/12211388/avatar/small.1649779431.png” name=“Bull”]12211388[/user] in joke asked if I can roll down the windows. I said; of course not… wait what.

You can roll down the windows on hummvees and passengers can shoot out!
