Piranha

[IanSky 29]

No, not the fish but instead the off-road buggy by Piranha! I've always wondered, we have trucks, sports cars, quad bikes but nothing in the middle to fill the void for Jurassic Park styled off-road rambling in the comfort of a seat. So I'd like to present an early WIP shot of what's to come. I have two versions planned, one a single seater which is faster and more nimble and then a dual seater buggy with a mounted mg based off the Baja frame.

Here I've managed to source a CAD model of the Piranha and so I'll use it as a blueprint to retopologize a mesh more suited to the game. So far I've begun work on the main chassis although there's still some way to go...

Here's the converted model to give you an idea for what's ahead:

More news when I have some, I'm working on my scope add-on at the moment and thus I can't divert to much attention to this right this minute.

I remember seeing something like this made for OFP, that had a weapons mounted on it. Here we are found the link: http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=5027 and here too http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=4689 :)

That is what i hope this becomes, since I hate how everything is so up-armored. Would be nice to have a fast light attack vehicle but not as bad as the armed offroad, also hope to see slightly bigger versions that can carry a driver, front passenger (with lmg), gunner (hmg, gmg, or small cannon like 20mm) then 2 guys in back that lay on there backs until they raise their weapons.

So pretty much more like vehicles like the Jackel http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/A_Jackal_Armoured_Vehicle_is_put_through_it%27s_paces_in_the_desert_at_Camp_Bastion%2C_Afghanistan_MOD_45148137.jpg/800px-A_Jackal_Armoured_Vehicle_is_put_through_it%27s_paces_in_the_desert_at_Camp_Bastion%2C_Afghanistan_MOD_45148137.jpg (114 kB) and the LSV (Light Strike Vehicle) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Fast-Attack-Vehicle-1.jpg (113 kB) would be awesome to see added.

Anyways hope to see this finished and hope to see it get used. Also will we see an armed variant or will this just be in as a civilian vehicle.

Well it's technically a civilian vehicle, however if this gets enough interest I could maybe invest some more time on slapping some plates to the roll-cage...

This is the real thing:

And the two seater will be based off of something like this:

Obviously with military modification. It oughta be great fun!

There are a few of these around in A2, not exactly like the OP's project though. The ones that spring to mind are:

Chenowth FAV (2 types)

Hummvee Beast

Is it fuzzies Buggy (something like that anyway)

There are more, but can't think of any more at the mo.

But this project looks good, hope it has nice suspension like the FAV's have. Overall suspension in A3 isn't much good really.

Good luck with your project.
