mattmayhem 0 Posted January 20, 2003 I didint know the bradley could float? Did anyone ever see the movie called "Pentagon wars" ? Its basically about the whole development of the vehicle and the "bad stuff" that went on. There is a funny part where a guy says "So what we have is a troop carrier that can't carry troops, a tank with less armor then a snowblower, a scout that is too big to be sneaky and it carries enough ammo to take on a whole country (forget what he says exactly for tha ammo part) " I thought that was pretty funny...

Lord Macbeth 0 Posted January 20, 2003 The Turks made a amphious version but last I heard it leaks like crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Too Tall~ 0 Posted January 20, 2003 All Bradleys are amphibious. Earlier models are equipped with a water barrier, which is fitted by the crew before entering the water. A3 models have an inflatable pontoon which fits on the front and sides of the vehicle. Water propulsion is provided by tracks and the Bradley can attain a maximum speed of 7.2km/h in water. Source i saw a documentry on this and thats what im baseing my info on but there a site that states that info. .and u will find others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koolkid101 0 Posted January 20, 2003 Hey that movie was cool, excpecially when it killed the sheep, but I sorta feel sorry for the Lt. Conel who gets forced into early retirement! Wans't it on HBO? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bosniarat 0 Posted January 20, 2003 Your information is correct to a point. The BFV has a water barrier system that was installed on to the M2 to the M2A2 model. The only problem is to deploy this system it can take a well trained crew up to 15 mins to deploy and the Bradley can not fire when the barrier is up. The major problem with the system was the fact that you could sink a Bradley by shooting a hole in the Barrier and at 7.2 its not a hard target to hit. After Desert Storm the Army Rethought the Bradley and came to some conclusions. 1 The barrier system was both ineffiecent and Unusable 2 The BFV needs better Fire Control system 3 The BFV was both Overweight and Underpowered This allowed for the M2 ODS system to be tested. It sported a new laser range Finder upgraded engines and better armor That is what the M2A3 has been developed from Not to metion that the M2a3 has the Landwarrior System, bench Seats and an MRE heater Built in. Hehehe Little Update the Model that BIS used is the M2a1 Series which was around in the 80s http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/images/bm2-3.jpg this is pretty good for the new M2A3 Model You can see the New Laser range finder and some new addons to the M2a1 Model Hope this helps you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waffendennis 0 Posted January 20, 2003 Nice even more Floating Tanks but can you add some more options to it? like Open Close Cargo Door and make the Cargo door a Road path because in all Addons ( the m113 from G8 and the New Desert Pack ) have the option to open and close the Cargo door but you cant walk inside because the Door is not a Walk Path so you cant walk on it and can you do that and make the Eject or get out position in the middel of the tank? so you must first open the door to get out the tank itt would be nice . And could you make some more Texture options ( like Desert style and Urban Style and Navy Style? TNX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soul_assassin 1750 Posted January 20, 2003 the ingame model is in the ODOL format so forget about editing it in O2 unless u have p3dedit, which we don't (exept some exceptions here i know). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crassus 0 Posted January 20, 2003 Were or are you able to fix the Bradley driver's hatch. The way it opens now, it opens too far back/up and "melts" into the turret. Also, will you be working on getting the TOW launcher to erect and lower? If you can correct and add the above mentioned, as well as a working cargo ramp and hatch, you'll have a jewel.

~Too Tall~ 0 Posted January 20, 2003 Crassus you took the thought right out of my head   yes i will be doing an open and close cargo ramp, TOW laucnher wil start int eh down postion and will be able to erect. .and must be put in the up postion b4 fireing, the hatch bothered me too so i will try and fix that. . . and lastly. .i have my OWN p3d model in which i will be working with to do all this. . . and BIS can stick taht ODOL up their. . .  well i wont get too mean  . .ahh im just jokin. .im just tired of this M2A2 bein wrong. .and no sense in wiatin for BIS to do it . .they take to long .. i mean look at 1.91. .its been almsot a year now. .wheres the final?. . so im not gonna wait around for fixes. .im doin it myself. . .PS i apprecate all the feedback and suupport. .. .and yes. .it will be in several camo scemes. .desert. .woodland. .and the urban?. .hmm i have to look into that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bosniarat 0 Posted January 21, 2003 I dont think they ever made an Urban Camo Type but I could be wrong. Well here is some Pics, hope it helps I drove BFVs for 2 years when i was in the Army so if you need some one to help out in getting the Overall model correct I'll be more than willing to help HOOAAH! http://www.pmbradley.org/a3/a3diag.htm http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/m2-pics.htm http://www.usa-mil.com/mjzbzj-tk/m2a3-tk.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfish6 7 Posted January 21, 2003 Hehehehehehehe... I actually broke this very M-2. It's at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland and when I was a lowly private my brother and I went out there and started climbing on stuff. It turned out that the manual traverse on the Bradley turret still worked, so of course we played around with it and moved the turret around - and managed to bend the gun barrel and get it jammed on an engine grate. The turret looked all dorked up when we were done with it. Luckily no one was around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrimmDraco 0 Posted January 21, 2003 I think redoing the M2A2 is a great idea...but how about going a step up from that? Why not make a REAL M6 LineBacker? The one I saw released was so incorrect! I'm a 14R stationed at Ft Bliss.(14R is: Bradley Linebacker Crewmember) and I could not think of a better addon to make that the Linebacker! Also, the Army no longer has the water fording kit. Anyways, I would be more than happy to help with any needed info in relation to the M6 LineBacker. GrimmDraco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Too Tall~ 0 Posted January 22, 2003 heh this was suppose to be just a small  project with a lil rescripting but it seems thanks to ll your comments and suggestions i am bringing in some pro help to do this and when i do get down to the hard parts and the M6 sure i will contact you on the M6 specs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Too Tall~ 0 Posted March 1, 2003 ok wel i bitched about unfinished addons disappering into nothing when the maker gives up so as not to be a hypocrit.... i have recently moved on to a few other games including AA (americas army), Delta Force blackhawk down demo, (and full game when it comes out) so i shalln't be workin on this anymore. so if any addons makers would like to take my rescripted M2A2 and redo it plz do. i also have a 3d model in which u can edit and make all the new actions and stuff the wonderful OFP players here have asked for, and take this on for yourself. i also have some textures for you as well if you do decide to take this project on. email me or (preferably) contact me via one of my messenger services and i will send u all nessacary items in question.
