Major Fubar 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Just curious about mounted (static) MG addons for OFP. There seems to be quite a few out there, but also some that haven't been done. GFXs MG pack had a good range of MGs (mounted PK, MG42, .30 cal, different M2HB mounts,), AKM74 has done the excellent Kord, SEB has a DShK in a sandbag emplacement, and someone (can't remember who) did a pack of M60s... Some notable omissions (AFAIK) are - FN-MAG (M240), tripod mount MG3, tripod mount So basically, does anyone have any particular models they would like to see, or know of any addons that I might have missed?

Cloney 0 Posted July 2, 2003 I believe TOW did the pack of M60s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Thanks Cloney. This is what I've been able to find so far: GFX707 MG pack : This pack contains 5 new MGs for the defense of installations and towns - A WWII Water-cooled browning m2 for resistance AA defense - A mounted PK for the Soviets, so they don't have to use the m2 anymore - An m2 with the gunner prone behind it (much more realistic) - A WWII MG42 MG for the resistance in mounted and unmounted versions - A WWII 30 Cal for the resistance - A Mk19 Automatic Grenade Launcher AGS-17 Grenade Launcher (Kegetys) Static M60 pack 1.75 (TOW) : Includes the M60 and M60 C-light with a new ammo belt effect. Perfect for defending your base. KORD 12.7 by AKM74 Seb Nam Pack 2 which includes the DShK MG (And yes, I know that AGLs aren't MGs...but I say close nuff) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PFC_Mike 2 Posted July 2, 2003 The FDF mod has a bunch of cool stuff. It's well worth the 193 mb dl even on 56k. (I used GetRight download manager) Plus, you can move the machineguns around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

munger 25 Posted July 2, 2003 AKM74 is releasing an NSV with his next Russian armour pack, so that's that done at least. I would love to see the SEB NAM DShK released as a standalone unit, as it would be great for the Resistance. A mounted M240 or FN MAG would be good too. I think the one by W.M. Crielaard is the best available. Oh yes, and how about a mounted minigun for some serious carnage? GFX707 released a quality one imported from CS in one of his bunker packs, but I can't recall which one it was. I was thinking, with regards to the AI not being able to use bunkers properly, would it be possible to create a bunker with an invisible proxy which would allow the player to order them to 'get in' the bunker, and they would go over to it and get in it in a fixed position, say kneeling, and be able to rotate but not get out of that position until ordered to, as if they were in a vehicle or manning a machine gun emplacement? I think this would be great for simulating troops taking cover behind sandbag walls and taking position in bunkers. Just a thought anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eviscerator 0 Posted July 2, 2003 I would love to see the SEB NAM DShK released as a standalone unit, as it would be great for the Resistance. May as well let this slip, there will be a standalone DShK without the sandbags (and requiring no other addons) coming out soon, it's primarily for some enemy troops we (BAS) have made but it will not need any other addons to work and im sure we can get it hosted individually (as well as being bundled with the other addons its being released with).

earl 0 Posted July 2, 2003 And there might even be a new mounted M240G in the works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VXR 9 Posted July 2, 2003 maybe a .50 with a few sandbags and a realistic looking camonet over it would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOB 0 Posted July 2, 2003 Don't forget SFP's TKSP (FN 12,7 heavy machinegun) also "their" MK19GL. And I am looking forward to the standalone DSHK, I hope the optics get updated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, just move the gun, drop it on the ground, move the tripod, pick the gun back up, and set it on the tripod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted July 3, 2003 Oh yes, and how about a mounted minigun for some serious carnage? Like this? Work in progress by Vlados Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
earl 0 Posted July 3, 2003 Is that the 3 or 5 second ammo box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted July 3, 2003 Yeah, I thought the same thing...at 6000rpm it'll chew that box dry in about 2 seconds... But miniguns have a slower firing speed too, don't they? 1000rpm or something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munger 25 Posted July 3, 2003 Is that the 3 or 5 second ammo box? Â LOL Yeah I think the RPM can be varied between 1000 and 6000. Makes you wonder how the barrels don't melt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eviscerator 0 Posted July 3, 2003 The M134 can have either 2000, 4000 or 6000 if i remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Fubar 0 Posted July 4, 2003 Maybe I should get off my lazy behind and make something... If I was going to use and existing M240 (FN MAG) and an existing MG3 as a basis for tripod mounted versions (with permissions of course), which would be the best ones to use? What are the best existing addons for these model MGs? Also, anyone know where to find pics or models of the standard NATO tripod? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted July 4, 2003 If you are doing a U.S looking FN-MAG the BAS one is probably best. But for a more european looking one Mathjiis has a good model for his RLNMC addon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
