NAVY *BATTLES AT SEA*

This mod will come out hopefully with new islands errr not island... Map big ones filled with water and some small island so you can take off from your Carrier or something and go on a mission so far my freind made a Battle Frigit.

So far its coming along nicely?

you would have one gunner probly and have it when he switches weapoons it moves view to that weapon be like moving seats.

thats just my idea those guys with osygen will know whats possible.

maybe but i've never seen that done before. guess we'll find out

Vampire, FYI: it's Frigate. No offense, just trying to help.

[Hilandor 1]

looks pretty cool imo, cant wait, i mind one mission in redhammer that had a road i was travelling along being shelled from the lst quite spectacular sounds and explosions etc so lookin forward to being able to fire some of my own

[Not Bob 0]

Have different gunners. 4 for the cannons (front left/right, rear left/right) A guy for the missles (Tomahawks, and SA missles) and the driver. So you can only use 2 at a time... Unless you cut down the crew. It should be able to slowly repair minor damage, since a frigate would have a repair crew.

[Vampire 0]

This is the Resisitance version of the Frigate. It was originally a NATO ship but after being bombarded by Russian planes, NATO decided it wasnt worth fixing the damage so they gave it to Resistance forces.

This is the NATO version, yet to be textured.

Looks great, but... have you got Oxygen???

[Przezdzieblo 0]

Warships for Resistance??? Lol, give them a Spanish war galleon wreck. Hm, it is rather too big ship for guerillas.

Yeah, frigate. And rocket destroyer. I`m waiting for BB63 Missouri for WEST, Oscar or Typhoon class submarine for EAST and old burned Cacafuego for RESISTANCE... or another wreck, even from XX century...

It's spelled Frigate. There are no "Battle Frigates", rather assault frigates, and the ship you show in your pictures is hardly a Frigate as it's obviously far longer than 136 meters.

From the looks of it it appears to resemble the Leahy class cruiser, though I could be wrong.

By the way, it takes hundreds of well trained seamen to operate a modern combatant naval vessel. A bunch of rebelious guerillas like the Resistance are hardly capable of such a task.

Besides, what the hell is a point of such a thing ? There is absolutely no way to sink it with any current Flashpoint weapons.

If anything it would be nice to be able to call (by radio) artillery fire from that ship and such, though today's navy vessels don't even have the big 16 inch guns anymore, rather cruise missiles and such.

OFP doesn't support multiple weapons firing from the same vehicle at the same time...however

you can do what devil did with the humvee/mg script, have the guns as seperate objects (take them off the boat) and then put them all on as a script, they would all act as seperate entities moving with the ship. guess we'll see

[deathguy 0]

I don't really see the point of the resistance having a boat that big. It's really unrealistic. But both of them are looking good.

[Grokk 0]

Could be quite annoying if u can't fire multiple weapons from one vehicle. The ships look great.

When Przezdzieblo mentioned something about a spanish war galleon wreck i suddenly had quite a cool idea.

A whole new setting for ofp...

The 17th Century!!!

English man o' wars blasting French corvettes to bits, long-range-coastal artillery, stone fortresses, etc.

Only too bad you don't have close combat in ofp, imagine stickin your bajonet into someone assaulting you, capturing ships as some wacko Dutch pirate hacking into others with your sabre      

Could be cool in the present ofp-setting too. In '85 they still used bajonets, or not?

[Jamesia 0]

they look beautiful.

I reckon the boats are the best part of flashpoint.

[Przezdzieblo 0]

Yep. Looks pretty. But unneccesary.

There are a lot of weapons in OF could sink something like those "boat". "Posejdon" can be easily destroyed, just do maximal damage in editor and put about 20 satchels...

[Eviscerator 0]

well once someone makes more planes im sure someone would make an exocet missile (or equivalent)

They are still used today. You can't beat the cold steel!

After taking a good look at the pictures I can see how the ship would not be a good idea for the Resistance. Instead I was thinking we can make the damaged ( cruiser not frigate ) and East ship, or maybe another West ship for realistic missions in which a ship was taken out, or some sort of mission like that. We wont make the ship invincible of course, because if you think about it, the LST is an object not a vechicle. This will be a vechicle and some well place missles will get the job done. I was thinking of making some sort of damage placement like on the troops. Like a missle into the middle of the ship will do much more damage then one to the back end.

[Jamesia 0]

Its fun when you do setdammage 1 on an LST, because it sort of starts to sink, which takes like 2 minuites, which is cool.
