Valken 623 Posted March 15, 2021 Re-watching Die Hard 4 and came across this scene with the F35 hovering like a heli in near CQB battle with the protagonist. Can a player actually fly a modded F35 like this in game or are the physics too complicated? Mods please move if this is not the appropriate forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joostsidy 685 Posted March 18, 2021 First of all, that movieclip is incredibly cool but also very unrealistic. A real F35B is not flown like that in combat. Having said that, you can do things like that in Arma, the physics engine allows VTOL planes. With the Chinese CSAT Xian VTOL jet plane in the default game you could replicate this scene somewhat in Arma style (only with you as the pilot!) by intercepting at high speed and turning around at hover to face an oncoming truck. Better make it a whole truck convoy because any truck will be shredded completely in seconds! 😅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krzychuzokecia 719 Posted March 18, 2021 Die Hard 4... The movie that made me realize that Bruce Willis' career is going downhill... and the whole Die Hard franchise went with him too. :( Otherwise Joostsidy is spot on - you can make some wild maneuvers with vanilla Xian, sometimes even too wild (watch for the trees!). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 623 Posted March 18, 2021 That was an insane video. Good tip on the Xian! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WGP 91 Posted March 22, 2021 We have a pilot in our group that does a great show in Arma 2 with the BOAR Harrier. Same thing really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 623 Posted March 22, 2021 Would be cool to see a VTOL pilot challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
