-CCCP-Stalker 0 Posted May 9, 2003 Do we need ultra-sonic aircrafts and if yes how could we addon-maker handle the speed ? What should be OFP sonic speed ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silent_64 0 Posted May 9, 2003 No we don't need plane that can fly at mach. 2!! The islands are to small!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

furia 10 Posted May 9, 2003 I love planes and choppers but islands are too smalls neither game engine allows for realistic aerodinamics required for such speeds. At match 2 you will cross an OFP island in 4 seconds. Lets focus on more useful stuff I voted NO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see any point in haveing mach 2 two in OFP, it's to fast, the pilot doesn't have time to attack and it's just not for any use! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianTerror 0 Posted May 9, 2003 It's hard using jets as it is. The only dogfighting thats any fun is if you use the ww1 or ww2 planes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted May 9, 2003 I'd say mach 2's probably too fast for islands right now. Â But, wasn't there someone who made a island that was like 4x the size of the current ones? Â I don't thing it had any objects on it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FuseBox 0 Posted May 9, 2003 i think it was A-lone-wolf but still even with that island we would pass by in 6 secs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PFC_Mike 2 Posted May 10, 2003 Yes, it is useful. Not for A/C, but for cruise missles. I'm still waiting for a Tomahawk strike script. Same for launching Scuds, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Tomahawks don't go anywhere close to mach 2. They go mach .85 or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaztheducky 0 Posted May 10, 2003 yes there more of a jump-jet or actully a jump-rocket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baron von Beer 0 Posted May 10, 2003 The only use I have for mach 2? Make a jet pack, fly low and level at mach 2. Then, eject just in time, so my body is flying at that velocity, and smacks right into a mountain side. Of course, then, we need a new damage system, with "Goo" as a possible character state.

However, even Mach 1 is too fast for ground attacks, unless you do a spray 'n pray combined with a hit 'n run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy17 1 Posted May 10, 2003 I think BIS should make the game physics as close to the real world physics as possible. In reality it is possible to fly that fast. So the game engine should be able to handle it too. Another question is if we need these fast planes in the game. In Vietnam planes like the F4 or Mig21 played an important role (just an example) and like they could go over mach 1 it should be added -just for realism! I missed these planes in OFP ever since. Even if you do not fly them. Ain't it nice as a grunt to know that there exists a fast fighter plane that could pop up and blow this nasty Hind from the sky! And add a sonic boom that you can hear on the ground only! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CuteQA 0 Posted May 10, 2003 Basically i voted no, but it is fine for me to have mach2 I think an after burner will be not bad for ofp2 air planes. Also, there should be a design for the throtte contol affect the fuel spend in ofp2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
