To be expected in PR v1.1?

Sounds like Real life is turning PR into a regular shooter?

a new reason for the sniper to relocate after firing

but 4 sensors means only a real 2d map given to the user

 

the ones "ive heard" used on hummers can give much more better direction of incoming rounds

 

funny thing is the simple use of putting water on the ground before combat which stops the kick up of dust and firing from deep cover means you can easily prevent the enemy from finding you.

Off the top of my head you can see/hear this or something similar being used in the documentary restrepo.

 

Only problem it tells you about all of the shots going out and well as coming in.

 

*Disregard I just read the article the ones in the doco are vehicle bourne not infantry based.

I saw these things they were testing about a year ago http://www.bbn.com/products_and_services/boomerang/

Much like in PR, fire from bushes and watch the ants scatter

Anyone else see a problem with this:

Thats where they were IED'd on the road and it was saying they were taking shots from 8 o'clock when it was more like 3 o'clock or something? It picked up the .50 on the rear hummer and the commander was just screaming at the gunner to engage front or something...

im also guessing it only works if your guys are not firing
