3CB BAF Vehicles

[evrik 844]

There is an open back, unarmed land rover planned.

If you don't want to give any secrets away then I understand, just wanted to know if you plan on having the Ridgeback in your next release?

[evrik 844]

Not in the next version of this, no. However, thanks to Cleggy, we do have the Ridgeback and at some point it will undergo a 3CB makeover. There are a lot of ground and air vehicles that need adding to this pack, and at present, the idea is to overhaul a couple at a time and then update this pack, rather than waiting until we have completed all of them and releasing a huge update. As they are completed, they will be released.

[sabre_3para_gu 18]

Thanks, still can't wait to see what you have in store for us

[commandouksf 14]

You're in for a treat when the next update is released then, as the Jackals have had a big make-over...

That sounds absolutely brilliant news. Can't wait for this.

Wonder if you have any plans for the Coyote Tactical Support Vehicle (TSV) to accompany the Jackal on patrols?

Or maybe it is just too similar, I know it can carry a heavier load and one more crew member, but uncertain if that means it still has only 5 seats or six?

;) you shall just have to wait and see.

[EddiePrice 16]

Looking forward to the next release, great work guys! Quick one: Any chance of a 12 seater Defender or something similar? Would be great for those times when you need a little more room.

[evrik 844]

Probably. I know we plan to do an open top passenger version of the Land Rover. It will be capable of carrying quite a few people. I don't know if we currently aim to do a 6-wheeled landie, but it should be possible. We do already have a six wheeled version of another vehicle almost ready to go. ;D

[commandouksf 14]

I have just been reading an account of M Squadron (SBS) in Iraq, and noticed the vehicle ammunition loads carried. 600 rounds of 40mm grenades for the AGL for example.

This made me think of the Arma3 vehicle ammo quantities. Are they fixed? Or are they user configurable?

I only mention this as in a Hunter I think it carries only 94 rounds of 40mm in total.

Same book mentions 1200 rounds of 7.62mm for the GPMG and 600 rounds of .50 for the vehicles fitted with it.

Added detail from book research

[serjames 357]

Technically you could add more in the editor.. not sure of the code, but you point it to the "turrets" and add or takeaway what you need.

Our next pass on these is due (soonish!) And we'll be doing balancing issues like that for sure..

Unlikely we'll add 1200 rounds as for gameplay that's op, but like I said for a specific mission you could change that

[lifetap 188]

We'll be adding Coyote's as resupply vehicles, so huge quantities of rounds will be possible, but unlikely to be added to individual vehicles by default as this would be OP, as Serjames points out.

Fantastic work guys, thanks very much! :D

[Flax 397]

Thanks for the update guys, is there any chance the helo's will ever be updated to the ArmA 2 models from the data pack? 

[andy1 71]

All in due time Flax.

[evrik 844]

It's on the list, Flax.

[Flax 397]

Thanks for the quick reply guys. Evrik look's like you got  :ph34r:  :ph34r:

[ruPal 143]

Thank you for an update. There is a bug with muzzle flash of commander MG. Try to shoot to different directions, flash and smoke will not change position.

[evrik 844]

Which vehicle are you seeing that on, Kukus?

[evrik 844]

Good spot on the GPMG. We are correcting now. Hopefully we can get it hotfixed before the mod goes to Armaholic and PW6.

[lifetap 188]

Hotfix for the Commander's GPMG released (v3.01)

Sorry for any inconvenience
 

[serjames 357]

So thought you might want to see these in beautiful YouTube technicolour.

 

 

Excuse the poor grammar and even worse video Quality... I need to find a better encoder I think

[Broseph_Stalin90 72]

Absolutely excellent, I love the Coyote! Do you think you'll release a version using the 3CB BAF units? If not, it's easy placing them in manually, but just curious. Thanks!

[lifetap 188]

3CB BAF Units will be expanded to include vehicles, but we're going to released some more vehicles first.

[flippy_rage 23]

Ports or made from the scratch?
