eggbeast 3673 Posted June 28, 2014 apparently with real bushmasters they can pre-program different firing patterns (on their laptop?) i simulated this by adding an 8 round burst of HEI or APDS or APFSDST (25mm only) or KETF (35mm only) yesterday i was getting perpetually strafed by a gaggle of hinds, and i managed to get in a bradley and hit one with an 8 round burst of HEI. that totally killed the hinds engines and he crashed. perfect! the 8 round KETF is not recommended lol. best fun is firing 120mm canister at strafing aircraft... ---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ---------- pic of 35mm bushmaster III in action - the somalis were creeping through the bushes all around us, and massing some APC's just over the rise, so i hit them with 3x 8rnd bursts of 35mm KETF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bars91 956 Posted June 28, 2014 Seen vids of Norwegian(?) CV IFVs with BIII 35mm in action - damn that thing has some punch and muzzle smoke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted June 28, 2014 yeah its fun to play with it - i actually made the weapon system for the DAF CV9035. i've also made the rarden for the scimitar, ("approved" by GITS karl who used to train scimitar crews lol, though he said the burst fire should be slower) and sorted out the kpvt, the 2a42 and other russian 12.5 - 40mm gun range too. lots of fun to be had.

eggbeast 3673 Posted June 30, 2014 just been testing this lot bmp1/2/3 btr90 / t72 and t90 etc against bradley, lav25, aav etc. they kicked our asses as you would expect, but when we managed to take them on one v one, we could zero our weapons using the rangefinder in a second, then hit them with a burst of APDS or APFSDS and they would take enough damage to stop. the javelin armed bradleys were amazing! absolutely knocking out t90's etc from a hilltop in duala. and when hinds attacked, if we could line up the guns quick enough a burst of APDS or HEI would take out their engines. using the commander seat in the bradley we were laser designating targets for the gunner to hit with the javelin, on thermal. was very efficient. the KETF rounds worked amazingly well - owned groups of soldiers, not as effective against hinds as i'd hoped. much less so than say 120mm canister was. this is the kit if anyone is interested http://www.powershow.com/view/13d66-MTJmO/GDM008_Naval_Gun_System_powerpoint_ppt_presentation firing it on 8 round burst is definitely a last resort so all in all a good test session. oh and the flamethrower works far too well... great for crowd control (against molotov chucking dualan civs, so it seemed kinda fair).

eggbeast 3673 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) ok just a heads up: I've now had enough permissions through to release this as two mods: Rangemaster mod: US woodland and desert, Russian (woodland) and Takistan (desert) versions of almost every main vehicle with my modified weapon ammo, sighting and ranging systems Incorporates previously released content too: EB_Air, EB_missilebox, EB_weapons/blazes_weapons plus lots of stuff developed with unsung and hcpookie nades, napalm, flamethrowers, WP, lumes, canister, airburst, etc and GLT missilebox from myke a huge increase in planes, choppers, tanks and light vehicles for wood and desert. lots of real settings for weapons with emphasis on fun and action. British Armed Forces Expanded (BAF-X) mod: bringing together a wide range of kit from cleggy, Lennard, legion, emery, trouble and others in one place, rearmed with my brit weapon pack and lennards L119 range in the cargo. plus my edit of the lynx/harrier/apache as above and weapons changes as above will be some evolution MP co-op missions to go with them. final edit of stage 1 and packing for release this week. humvees done (plus some new skins from chris) then future plans: new LAV's (AD and MMEV ideally) (emery/chris/egg) edit harrier/A10 to harmonise and empty pylons/proxies add strykers and UAZ/'s (egg) add new BTR40's and brdms (pookie) Edited July 9, 2014 by eggbeast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggbeast 3673 Posted July 11, 2014 ah ok, well add me on steam and say hi if u like i'm very close now to public release Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) hmm i got a bit bogged down this week: 1. have successfully updated all the custom grenades (thanks to von knudenberg, sgt savage and larsiano for help and contributions) 2. have successfully integrated GLT missilebox (thanks to myke) 3. have run into a lot of problems with the 1.63 patch changing stuff like multiplier and rocket proxies and so on... so gonna be a bit messy when this is released, until we remake the aircraft. 4. However I have made a proxy plan for the new /stock aircraft, just need a little help finishing it - some of the guys have offered me help so looks promising in a few weeks, meanwhile I'm redoing the loadout scripts for aircraft, and tidying up the models and configs. 5. user interface for aircraft may becoming from john spartan, which is great news. this brings together a project myke, JS and I talked about last year and finally it is happening. 6. some edits of chieftain textures from larsianao, which expert input from Bill (ex-chieftain driver) who showed me what every handle, switch and lever does in pictures of the chieftain interior last night... wow it's a complicated beastie, and it can chop your foot off if you don't sit still when the turret is rotating... 7. chris is making some new textures for the LAV's 8. we may be getting an LAV-AD from em hopefully. Other news from testing: a) the new 20,25,30,35mm weaponry has been thoroughly tested and rocks the world. b) the flamethrower amtrack is very popular. we even got the faulty BIS script working so the trim vanes and props work in the water c) enemy planes drop napalm quite happily thank you very much. d) the warhammer bradley with javelins is a genius invention. e) custom flares added t oevery vehicle - in countermeasures magazines, you can now fire off smokes or toggle to flares, and fire an illumination flare from the smokelauncher... works like a charm... am planning to develop some hostile nades too for auto crowd dispersal Edited July 15, 2014 by eggbeast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eggbeast 3673 Posted July 16, 2014 rearm scripts completed next up is to reconfig the weapons on the fixed weapon variants the next big job is to remake all the stock planes with working proper proxies a la mykes bible. this will allow us to put 16 hellfires on an apache, or 76 hydra, or any mix thereof, plus mykes TOW pod on the cobra, and the CRV7-PG pods on the apache and lynx, and add a stinger pod to the wingtip of the apache of course... and 6x MER's on the A10 etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bars91 956 Posted July 18, 2014 Here's a wild idea for when you have absolutely nothing to do - winter paint/camo/dirt. Surprisingly small amount of quality winter units in A2 mods. http://www.sfsa.org/tutorials/ice_cleat/images/Winter_Tank2.gif http://www.militaryimages.net/photopost/data/501/DSC_2936_1_.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christian2526 68 Posted July 20, 2014 Winter Camoufalge would be an idea, but as far as i know is that only Namalsk and some small maps have a Winter Version. I`ll see what we are able to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intermaus 10 Posted July 20, 2014 OFF There is a CWR2 map too, if im right. And : http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9567&highlight=WINTER http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8633&highlight=WINTER ON Hey egg, did you make new models for the BMPs or are those older ones ?

christian2526 68 Posted July 20, 2014 There are new skins for the BMP-2 and the BMP-2 HQ which are really nice, but there are no new models for the bmp2 itself. Those Maps you linked there are maps which i didn`t remember, but i will see what we can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3673 Posted July 20, 2014 also i reskinned the bmp3 and btr90's and vodniks for desert and the btr60 and bmp2 range for woodland/des am working on desert tunguska atm coming soon - pooks new models for: shilka sparka btr40 series t34 t54 t55 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
