Bas kiowawarriors released!

[dm 9]

Well, here it is, proably a little un-expected, but we like to keep you guys on your toes

Head on over to the BAS Site and grab them

@mods... images are a little over 100kb (like 13-15 kb) up to you if you want to keep them up, or take them down...

edit:ralphwiggum

@DeadMeatXM2: a little? would appreciate if you take acre of picture size before posting it.(some links were lost)

[Edit] (DeadMeat)

It IS a little when you've been transferring 100's of megabytes... specially on a 56k...

I'll go take care of the compression ratio of those pics so they are under 100kb, and post em back up.

[Edit#2] they are under 100kb this time

Wow, I had just posted and was waiting for the topic list to refresh when I noticed this new one had suddenly been added. Sweet! Downloading now...

Sometimes waking up in the middle of the night has its advantages!

Thanks for your efforts guys.

[Mr. Snrub 0]

You guys are absolute champs!

This was something I've been wanting to see since the original BIS Kiowa, but I didn't think anyone was within months of releasing them! I 'll download 'em straight away and post some feedback - I just had to congratulate you guys ... huzzah for BAS!

Nice addon

Damn nice suprise.

But I was really waiting for the MH-60L and the Seals

I the MH-60L and Seals will be released this month too

I really like the smoke rockets and illumination rockets .  One other thing, the hellfire is underpowered.  It should take out a T-72 w/ one hit, no question.  Why does it seem like the big addon makers make these huge amazing, terrific, addons, but don't make the hellfires realistic.   Still a very good addon though.

I was a bit dissapointed that the engine sounds were still the crappy BIS ones. One other thing TooTall noticed is that there are textures missing in the TH-58 backseats. Otherwise great recon helos! I still think BAS rules in the area of Chopper addons (besides DKM )

Re: Hellfires.

We had a MAJOR discussion over the damage levels. In the end the view was to make them consistent with existing BIS damage levels.

Basically, the Kiowas are usually teamed with Apaches, acting as spotters, targetting etc. If we had made the Kiowa Hellfire more powerful it would have unbalanced the relationship with the in-game Apache Hellfire.

We at BAS want to make addons that work well with existing units in OFP and that means making compromises in certain areas, especially damage levels. We could have recalculated all the damage and armor levels of units and weapons in the game and recoded the whole lot, but that would involve making a total conversion which is outside the scope of what BAS is doing. Currently, the only "standard" are the BIS values, so that is what we code for.

GAME AT THIS IP: 66.167.117.54

COME PLEASE!!

[acidcrash 0]

took me a few moments to find em but then upon finding them i se the reason; they arent a "special operations" unit as such are they? they are as stated in a previous post, spotters and recon, just a normal army unit.

nice work though, stingers are cool, finally a damn hind can go down without firing 3-4 stingers (as with the MANPAD version)

[blackdog~ 0]

HOLY SHIT! The sounds are GREAT!

Edit: Why do I have the option to 'ride in back'?

^ not over 100kb ^

[r71 0]

Your OH-58D (Stinger) version has missing textures on each set of stingers.(crash model).

I'm guessing it's not with the other choppers because it's not used by special forces, just regular Army - the 160th to my knowledge doesn't fly Kiowas...

It took me a little while to find too, but it's better to seperate them in the long run.

As for the MH-60, just be patient - give them an extra bit of time to make it spot on, and we shall all be happy with the final product

Feedback on Kiowas:

I love the smoke/illumination FFARs and the rotor downwash effects, I hope you implement this on all future versions of your helos The stock-standard unarmed TH-57 is terrific - all we need to do now is give it some extra windows and a new paint job, and we have a ripper civilian chopper

Well done again BAS

First off its TH-57    ok, must have slipped through the net... not enough to demand a patch yet... if summat major crops up then we'll do it.

*scribbles down a note about textures*

160TH SOAR does not use this helo, hence the lack of SOAR Pilots...

In the updates (LittleBirds and MH-47E) and all the new releases they will be under

or

that way we don't clog the editor list with loads of BAS - ******* entries

Not sure... hasn't showed up for any of us during testing... which version was it?

Probably the Stingers themselves, as their texture is very similar to the default O2 model grey...

That was the plan    

[2stoned2kil- 0]

Nice helo , but it dissepointed me a little    the first i thought : "That's not a work of BAS !!" but after seeing this thread it is really BAS   But i figured it's just the low quality picture i saw    .

Next time let Blackdog or Nagual edit it

But one simple noobie question (OMG 2stoned2kill's asking a noobie question )

I have that BAS rotorwash.sqs .

But what do i have to type in the initialization ??
