The Unsung Vietnam Mod 3.0 WIP THREAD

Recommended Posts

pls port, those Hueys are brilliant

 

yes those are great hueys. I don't think you have to "port" them, they are already an A3 mod. Aside from getting permission to use them from grumpy rhino they also include post Vietnam era modern helicopters (UH-1Y). The Unsung team has to pull out what they want. There may be a little work there, maybe I don't know, it might be just as easy to port their own A2 hueys to A3?

I think he was referring to the Hueys we have in the A2 version of the mod, if we did go with grumpy rhino's Hueys, they would also require re-modeling the engine cowling and doors for the short bodied Huey.

i was referring to the csj hueys from unsung 2.6, with many additions by hcpookie.

these are the most historically accurate models in the armaverse.

they could do with a going-over on textures/glass etc but the models are great.

we have no plans to retire them.

 

also we will not be using any third-party requirements with unsung, not ever.

although people do donate models to us, nightintruder and aplion being good examples of awesome donors!

 

we couldn't even begin to use these helis by grumpy rhino:

they are absolutely inaccurate in so many ways. the weapon systems, cabin, engine cowls, door guns, designations, etc etc are all wrong for vietnam era.

we're not using grumpy rhinos hueys

and we will be porting our old fleet for a last tour, unless we can convince sykocrazy or another such excellent model builder to convert the bis base model or build a new one for us.

 

It would be great if you could get Sykocrazy involved :p his work is Amazing.

 

but for the moment we are using the Medium utility helicopters addon for the huey's. They used the Arma/Take on helicopter models, nice quality.

Some of us in the team has been discussing the feasibility of making a Hue urban map complete with the MACV compound and hue citadel. This is a big project and the team is currently bogged down with the A3 port. We will need a map team, building modellers and texture artists to pull it off. However most of the Altis buildings have a striking resemblance to Nam style architecture and could be used , with slight changes like signage etc

 

So if anyone is interested please PM me...Only serious modders need apply

 

Here's a Doco of how it could be ;)

Do you think there is a chance that the 1919 static emplacement would be made into a primary portable weapon? It was used by ARVN forces and some US early on in the war.

typical 1 poster comment - asking for stuff that is already in the mod in arma 2, and clearly coming to arma 3 in due course...

 

yes mate all statics will be baggable, and most will have added searchlights so they can be used effectively at night.

We haven't gotten to any of the statics yet.

Alright, guy, I didn't know if they were gonna make it a regular handheld weapon instead of a static, or not, but okay.

damn, the one gun i wanted to see handheld. I even tried to make a low poly model myself but I couldn't even do it in solidworks. All i could ever find was super high poly (1 million +) and it was super upsetting

I know it well , it was a blast!! better than VC 1 IMO but sadly we would be leaving ourselves open if we did use that content.

 

No we will do what we always have "Build it our damn selves " :)

remember it started in the town hall - the tet celebrations kicked off with a lot of fireworks!

then spamming AAA at the vc mainforce with the pbr guns was awesome

Some of the EW guys are stoked for Hue, have downloaded the tools, and started building french/vietnamese architecture.  Honestly the TS chat last night during an intense firefight was all about the dude who built the citadel in 1804, and why.... lol
