Eviscerator 0 Posted October 1, 2002 i think people need to put the polygon count into perspective, an external view of a gun is 100-300 polgons and external view of a jeep is 1000-1500 an external view of a helicopter is 2000-2500, it gets bigger as the subject of the model gets bigger, if you took a random chunk (equalling the same size of the ship) of the big town on nogova(name escapes me) it would be about the same amount of polys and probably half the detail, so it will basically be like a floating town Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMilli 0 Posted October 1, 2002 You sir, are a god. This adds a whole new element to the game, such as Naval boarding parties, off-shore assualts and other such greats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walker 0 Posted October 1, 2002 OOOhhhhh  Drible We will have to work up an ORBAT for that Beauty 2 Chinooks. (Scripted up to carry 46 troops each) Maybe 4 Higgins Boats or 4 M113s another 50 troops say a marine company. What is the normal compliment for that type?

Â However, I think this addon looks like it's a cut down version of the real thing, but it could still carry a few hundered men. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted October 1, 2002 This might be a bit uncalled for (making further requests), but would it be possible to mount some .50 caliber MGs around the main deck? IIRC, most US Navy ships have 4-6 .50 cals for close in defense (but usually leave them unloaded, like the USS Cole). I'm not sure if it would be possible on the static version, but I doubt it would work on the mobile one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tex -USMC- 0 Posted October 2, 2002 A quick suggestion, if I may, on a workaround for the problem of the ship moving while troops are on board. Maybe if you designated an area of the ship where troops can get into the ship as cargo (just like in a BMP or a Bradley), and have a row of benches where they sit, then moving troops around wouldnt result in mass clipping and a platoon overboard. Not perfect, but it might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

furia 10 Posted October 2, 2002 Jafergon. You really did wake up the whole OFP comunity. Your work is really impresive. I can't wait to create a map based on that wonderful ship. You are delivering what most of us have been dreaming long ago for this game. You are even fixing what some of us naval sims fanatics have been wishing for too long. A ship you can walk and move around.
