-STFU--Raven--COL- 0 Posted January 6, 2003 What is the point of the LST in OFP? It doesnt really DO anything, or help in any way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted January 6, 2003 Its for scenery, and helicopters can be re-armed on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VMF124 Foxtrot 0 Posted January 6, 2003 Many people like to use it to bring something to the game that wans't already there. For instance since Codemasters was either too lazy or incapable of making a battleship they used the LST for one in Red Hammer. And in the same mission you got to see the destructive but inacurate fire the gun on it is capable of dishing out on ground targets, and that the ship is totaly defenseless against aircraft. Also the battleship LST can be easliy destroyed by a single, direct hit by an invisable bomb dropped by a SU-25 that was not carrying any bombs when it took off. Is it possable that the Russian Army has found a way to rearm planes while in the air with invisable ordanance or is it cheap scripting? You decide...

You decide...<span id='postcolor'> The LST I think was for eye candy. BIS made the game, and Codemasters just published. There are some other user-made nonofficial battleships that you can land and rearm on it. Some also have guns on them. so they really blew up the LST with one bomb?

Harnu 0 Posted January 6, 2003 It is just eye candy. Although it does have usefulness. Like when flying, makes a good almost safe off-shore rearm station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asmodeus 0 Posted January 6, 2003 I think the whole point of this is interesting... If I don't like something in this game... I don't use it. I personally like the LST, and have used it in countless cutscenes. It and the LSD look good next to the TAAB addon our Mod has made also... So.. Guess it all just depends on your point of view.

Jamesia 0 Posted January 6, 2003 I like the LST and I think we should use it. With resistance it means that helicopters can land on the back of it. Ages ago someone said that they were making a proper LST, where you can actually be a passenger in it, and have tanks in it etc. But presumably they were just winding us up and being annoying.
