Jesus, whats with you people and realism. Games aren't made to be realistic...
But now I'm just confronting myself, because I love Arma.

Dude... they dont have to be realistic... but it helps... Its like going into an RTS and saying i know what will spice this up... lets take away gravity... Realism isnt necessary but for the game to have any credibility it must have at least some degree of realism... and seems as it is an RTS with historical elements to its races and such realism is definitely a plus... But as said previously, gameplay often wins over realism as sometimes the fun of the game must come first

Gameplay > Realism = funnest.
Gameplay == Realism = fun.
Gameplay < Realism = fun then boring.

i say it would look more realistic there should be a victory dance when a team wins a battle like they do in football for new zealand

OMG YES.
Silly idea (wandering animations, not taking away gravity; that's perfect).

If I stationed my units somewhere, I want them there. I don't want them wandering about. They were placed there for a reason. There could, and should be animations for idle units but on the spot animations, not wandering about. Whether they sit, stand or sleep doesn't matter to me, but I don't want units wandering about. Frankly, that's not even an RTS to me. The 'S' is being taken out. Real-time indeed.

What would be more beneficial towards the realism of the game, without detracting from the RTS element, is to have adequate start, stop and turning animations for all units.

Wow i can totally imagine units floating in the air with no gravity.
THAT'D BE SWEET.

Building castles in the sky...

[LiTos456]

Thats what dragons should do..
Or just me

[MrBlack103]

Fine, you can have floating castles. As long as I get castles in alternate dimensions, where no-one can attack me unless I let them in

[Andy Joslin]

Making a floating castle would actually be relatively easy. Just create an invisible 'center unit' with a lot of hover and slow walk speed and have that wander. Then make every unit in the castle constantly teleport to a position relative to that center unit.
