yevgeni89 163 Posted August 14, 2017 Really like the attention to detail for the vehicle roundels/decals, any chance in the future to see varying helmets like some with covers or nets? http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/uploads/6/5/3/7/6537276/4461649.jpg?709 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staines 74 Posted August 14, 2017 Finally, an MTLB. Awesome. Will these vehicles only come with SLA skins, or will it be possible to change decals and and camo patterns like RHS vehicles? The jets are looking amazing too. Are you going to use the new Pylon system with them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing I find is that having the units transport like this is not very practical in battle although it does look cool, much like I witness with RHS a squad riding like this is easily wiped out in a firefight, it would be nice to have an option to force them to ride in the back.

My squads are much larger than typical western squads. I use a full 20 man squad similar to Soviet and Warsaw Pact doctrine. The inside cabin is already full with 8 troops before the external proxies will fill. The practice of riding on top of Russian made APCs is pretty much standard. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep i fully get that, and its not just the Russian's... but they definitely dont when under fire or going into battle, and in Arma, mech groups get wiped out quickly riding on top... but if the cabins already full then hey! thats the way it is.

That's how I did the APC ride-on-tops for the Unsung M113's. It would be more accurate to not even fill the interiors although in-game that wouldn't make sense. Quote The practice of riding on top of Russian made APCs is pretty much standard. That is because land mines will quickly make dogfood out of anything on the inside of the APC's. Better to take chances against small-arms fire than a guaranteed puree' of your innards riding on the inside. So "YES" it is very practical. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted August 15, 2017 Not only landmines, but any type of AT weapon, including RPGs. The blast of a HEAT charge is actually much less deadly than the molten metal jet, so if the vehicle is nailed with an RPG you're more likely to survive if you're sitting on top. It's also an advantage if you come under attack, you can dismount rapidly, have a good FOV and freedom to fire your weapon, which the interior doesn't provide (the firing ports are of little use most of the time). Riding inside is pretty much only for when you're dealing with extreme weather, NBC conditions or driving at maximum speed (that is, on a road through an uncontested zone).
