FW200 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Anyway.. rest assured.. you won't be dissapointed.. it is great to have tank battles with resistance T-54/55's... And the crews are one of the best units I have seen made for OFP.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sxep 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Well NV´s are good to, but i more thought of Dust protection Goggles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted September 5, 2003 Yes but they are as rare as nv googles, never seen them in a pic... so i think its rater not representive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soul_assassin 1750 Posted September 5, 2003 You will laugh at me oh how right u are. Blackdog actually purchased a russian tanker hat with working NVG's but it turned out later that they were actually used by paratroops so as said b4 i havnt seen a tanker with either gogles or nvg's.

Sxep 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Then make some Paratroopers that way  Just Take the Tanker you posted (1Month ago??) and turn them into Paras  Can you post that pic again? if you know what i meen? There where 3 versions Wood/desert/can´t remember nr3  They had Flakvests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted September 5, 2003 Why shouldnt they mount it on a almost 100% similar tanker cap? Â Ok i must say i just saw it on drawings about soviet army gear however it would look nice, and i also think that in the soviet era some of the important tank units had them for sure.

Sxep 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Why shouldnt they mount it on a almost 100% similar tanker cap?  WHat the NVG´s? Dunno to expansive  Maybe the paras are SF so they have higher priority to get better equipment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted September 5, 2003 Thats right but if we make addons with influence of the russian financial crisis then we dont need any An-94 rifles ( too expensive ) no Kasatkas ( too expensive ), no havocs ( too expensive in larger numbers ), and also no specops with nv googles or the modern gear who is availeable but not very coomon in the troops because of money shortage. After all noone would cry i guess if there were a normal tanker and one with nv googles...maybe even a google one dunno... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sxep 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Thats what i was thinking...every one is on the "everything needs to be 150% Realistical" TRIP. Thats the point. Ofp won´t make so much fun without NV at night for example..Hell you couldn´t even fight good at night! And i hope you guys will implant the NV and the Normal Goggles. Would be really great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suchey 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Quote[/b] ]Ofp won´t make so much fun without NV at night for example They would still have the default night vision goggles provided by OFP. To me its a bit of a trade off, if your in a tank in the middle of the day, I would bet there isnt a single self respecting tanker that would have NV mounted on his head. It would be too clumsy and bang into shit in the tight confines of an armored cabin (not to mention making looking through any persicopic device nearly impossible...at night, it would look OK, but (at least in my case) 90% of the missions I play are durring day hours when night vision isnt needed. You can use the default ones at night in game or you look silly in the day with new ones on. Infantry doesnt have much of a choice but to lug them around, but if your in a tank, I could see no reason to have them on unless it was dark and you were using them. May as well stow them in the cabin of the tank and avoid the hassle. Since pulling off a decent pair of head mounted night vision goggles would add at least 100 polys (probably MUCH more), the trade off to make the units look good only at night just isnt worth it in my oppinion. Just my 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sxep 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Damn...i think we are talking about different things here. All i want is a cool looking pair of Protective Eye Gear for the Tanker No new modeled NVG´s at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted September 5, 2003 show us a picture of a russian tank crew WEARING them and you might get it...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted September 5, 2003 I think everyone get what you want Sxep   and im still not sure how it would look if we include it then it wouldnt be possible to take it off... its pretty sure that the tankers will be avble to take the caps off so maybe we also include the dust googles.

Dauragon 0 Posted September 5, 2003 how about some kind of coughing effect if your standing to close to a firing tank(with dustwave script) and have the goggles up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted September 5, 2003 I don't like shit that clutters the menu or cough scripts............................ just my opinion though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow NX 1 Posted September 5, 2003 Yes right that is also why i didnt wanted them on the tankers, the possibility to take off the cap would only work via init line in the editor so maybe we also could make agoogles/no googles thingy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted September 5, 2003 he still hasn't posted a picture since none of us has ever seen russian tankers with goggles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rouge1 0 Posted September 5, 2003 Well that would work ok i suppose cos i don't like all that stuff cluttering up the Action menu either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
