cam0flage 0 Posted February 10, 2003 I just tried it. I'm not going to comment on the textures because it's a beta release, but here are my few cents: 1. Tucha. What is it? When I select the Tucha, my screen turns green and in a few moments I'm dead. If I select the "Fire Tucha" from the action menu, I hear a grenade going off, but nothing else. Is it supposed to be some kind of smoke dispenser system or what? 2. BMP-3M with ERA. I don't know how effective the ERA is in reality, but I don't think it can take two direct hits from a Leopard 2A4 before being destroyed. First hit killed most of the crew, though.

Johann "onn" Bitsoenn 0 Posted February 10, 2003 Few issues from my betatesting... ~ textures - cannot leave beta stage. another thing is that personally I like when textures in addons ale close to textures used in original OFP units (provided with game), so that when you have army, all units seems to be from one army :] ~ mesh - still to simple, still to far from BMP-3 afaik. There is also small hole visible from outside on surface somewhere over driver's seat, visible from certain angles. ~ crew - please, please, do not use own, separate crew. If every addonmaker will use his own crew, then we will waste 30% of avaiable space only for crew models wich is stupid. I understand your crew may be looking nice, but please make model with standard crew (my opinion) ~ Tucha - what is that? You can shoot it both from action menu and weapons menu, but it only makes sound like sniper gun... ~ missile - you have added it both in weapon menu and via action menu. So - it is possible to 'change weapon to missile' via action menu, and then it will be avaiable TWO TIMES in weapon menu. I think that was not planned :] ~ small question... what does this wooden bar do on the side of BMP-3? :] I will notice other issues later if I found any. Addon bids fair to be allright, still it needs a lot of job :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

munger 25 Posted February 10, 2003 Hehe. I have a lot of respect for Russian military hardware. Very innovative and highly effective for the price. The BMP3 is a good example, as is Kamov's twin rotor design on it's choppers. Also ERA blocks and the Shtora countermeasures system on their tanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N.o.R.S.u 0 Posted February 10, 2003 This may interest some of you. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Since we were under our full strength during the departure, we were complemented by one more battalion from Novosibirsk. According to the initial plan, we had to complete all preparations by autumn and depart for Tadzhikistan for integrating into the 201st division or some peacekeeping force; anyhow, to fight for God knows what or who. So this battalion arrived on new, experimental BMP-3s. The machine looked great, everything seemed thought of, - however, turned out total shit. Stuffed with electronics like your Lexus, but made in mother Russia. Thus, at first, we coped so much shit from it. It couldn't fire its weapons on the run: equipment failed from vibration. All its sighting systems were electronic, thus totally useless garbage. When it did fire, it couldn't move: something again to do with the damned computer. Well, all in one word, - very crude system and thus terrible. In the third battalion, twenty-four men died in the first quarter of January because of this buggered APC. Terrible statistics, isn't it? All because this unrefined machinery was shipped to the Army, furthermore, to the war zone. About five of them we've lost already. We've moved them off to a safe place and, for now, use as machinegun nests. Although the cannon jams after it fires its first shot. Or as taxi charter in the more or less safe neighbourhoods. I wish those snakes that accepted this weaponry dropped dead.<span id='postcolor'> Taken from Chechen veteran Cpt. Vyacheslav Mironov's book/novel Assault on Grozny Downtown (it can be downloaded from Lib.ru). No idea how true these words are but it sounds like highly electronised weapon systems aren't very favoured in Chechnya, nothing beats good'ol manual systems . Back to topic. Some high quality textures like in AKM74's BMD-3 addon would be good, maybe AKM74 can help Mailman with the textures . The smoke launcher would be best to add into addon only as a weapon, thus letting the mission maker decide if he wants to use them with addweapon and addmagazine commands.

Remember the XB-70 Valkyrie..<span id='postcolor'> The XB-70 Valkyrie???? That was in my opinion one of the most beautiful looking bomber prototypes ever made. It was a truly remarkable aircraft and WAY ahead of its time. For anyone who has never seen one here's a pic from: http://www.labiker.org/xb70.html Beautiful aircraft. It was capable of flying up to Mach 3, and the ends of the wings were moveable depending on its speed. It was canned however for various reasons, but overall it had a fairly good record with only one crash (not bad for an experimental aircraft) and that was due to a stupid mid-air collision with a chase plane.
