Mach 2 in ofp

Recommended Posts

Do we need ultra-sonic aircrafts and if yes how could we addon-maker handle the speed ? What should be OFP sonic speed ?

No we don't need plane that can fly at mach. 2!! The islands are to small!!

But something adjusted to OFP world ? For example Mach 2 speed will be 1000 km\p

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 biggrin.gif

I voted NO.

Then what would we need mach 2 for then??? 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!

It's hard using jets as it is.

The only dogfighting thats any fun is if you use the ww1 or ww2 planes.

I'd say mach 2's probably too fast for islands right now.  But, wasn't there someone who made a island that was like 4x the size of the current ones?  I don't thing it had any objects on it though.

i think it was A-lone-wolf but still even with that island we would pass by in 6 secs

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.

Tomahawks don't go anywhere close to mach 2. They go mach .85 or so.

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.

Most planes are already capable of doing that, all you need is to go into a steep dive long enough.

However, even Mach 1 is too fast for ground attacks, unless you do a spray 'n pray combined with a hit 'n run.

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!

this is still a game and not the matrix, m8 tounge.gif

i dont think it makes any sence to have a plane that flies mach 2...

just make it fly 900 maximum, if you ask me...

ofp isnt suited for air-air combat anyways, so rather make a small bomber/ cas plane if you have to make a plane...

Basically i voted no, but it is fine for me to have mach2 smile.gif

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. smile.gif
