Bm-13 katyusha

[OmniMax 0]

Not sure if it was already requested, but a BM-13 Katyusha Rocket Truck (or other models thereof) would be an interesting addition for Resistance, embracing the whole idea of using old hardware to fight the russian menace... Featuring a rusty and busted texture, symbolizing the age of the truck.

We could do with an artillery piece. The BM-12 is kind of an off-field artillery piece, I'm sure somebody could model a fictious "short" verision using 57x rockets for field artillery usage and a shorter truck\vehicle overall.

I'm not sure how the coding of weapons for vehicles work, but I could make a seperate script for the projectory of the rockets (8x AT4 rockets) as long as you could have different animations for the rack in the back (for the different angles of the rack) and maybe the deploy plungers would be nice.

Feedback appriecated. Thank you in advance for reading.

i think there is already one made by korean mod, look at ofp.info

I think that Korean mod rocket launcher was a BM-21 Grad.

Wheeled vehicles with rockets are not possible.

Wheeled vehicles with rockets are not possible.

And what about the Scud launcher ingame?

[supersheep 0]

the BM-21 was North Korean, and i think it was made by remo. the website is ofp for dummies anyways. and i think that the engine can't support guided missiles from vehicles (no TOWs on humvees) but maybe it can support unguided. or maybe the scud is just a special case. maybe an addon-maker can clear this one up

[Totmacher 0]

The scud has no weapons (weapons[]={};magazines[]={};)there are only a rocket proxy and the scudlunch is an animation

(scudLaunch="scudlunch.rtm";scudStart="scudstart.rtm";)

Why would you want a BM-13 when you could have a BM-21 (don't forget OFP is set in the '80s ) ? The BM-13 or Stalin's Organ is a WW2 era weapon.It would even be more realistic to have BM-21 seeing as that's the weapon the Soviets would use,therefore that's what the Resistance would use (using captured and abandoned Soviet ones)

for WW2 modifications?

(no TOWs on humvees)

Then what the heck is this?

that, my friend, is a 404 error

[Totmacher 0]

Waht do you think are the reasons that this Hummer was never released ? That what you see on the picture is only a model but you dont know if it works or not. And rockets on weeled vehicles are not possible. I know there exist a pirania but it was define as an tank.

You actually COULD make a wheeled with rockets.

I can think of many ways, but you'll need scripts to support.

I am thinking add a dummy machinegun to the BM-13 (as gunner position in the back) with 8 shots, make the firing sound of a missile taking off, and use eventhandler fired and use the launched bullets with a formula to calculate the projectory of the rocket you will camcreate. A little messy, but it should work. With of course a built in random range of error, rockets won't hit the same place everytime if you fire.

Sounds like a good way to do it to me.

But the rusted BM-12s\Grads would make a very interesting artillery piece. Although the range of the grads is like 13 some miles... eek. Thus, the short version perhaps or a fictious version with less range (3000m?)

edit: I wasn't clear enough, get the speed\angle\etc of the mg bullet being fired from the truck and work from there with the camcreated missile, but maybe with some sort of rocket models on the truck with cpp scripting... not sure how that is done, though, not an avid modeler\addon maker, got GOTY edition.

It is possible since OPGWC made a hummer pack that has a hummer with a TOW.

[Guest DKM-jaguar]

DKM is making a BM21, so I'll let you be the judge if it is possible or not, seeming i said "is MAKING one".

Such an addon will be great. Also uses for iraqi war missions, where saudi forces and iraqi forces used them.

A beat-up, rusty Katyusha with sloppy FIA markings would be perfect for the Resistance.

Exactly, a rusty kat would be just right for resistance. With the FIA markings on the doors, of course. Maybe an extra FIA marking on the hood.

I trust that DKM is good enough to do this, I do not doubt them.

I do like my idea about the bullet gunner position in the back and getting the projectory using scripts to camcreate missiles.

I could outline the basics of the script, but I lack the knowledge to do the projectory calculations, I would gladly talk about the outline and code the outline of the script.

edit: on a closer look on my links, I found something that would be even better. These islands are supposedly czeck countries, correct? a variation of the 'grad' launcher would be quite superb.

"RM-70: Czechoslovakian 40-tube version -- The Czechoslovakian Army introduced this new version with the BM-21 launching apparatus mounted on a modified 10-ton TATRA 813 (8x8) truck in 1972. Although the basic launcher is almost identical with that of the Soviet BM-21, the transport vehicle is entirely different. Notable are the armored cab and the provision for carrying an additional 40 rockets. The reload pack of 40 additional rockets is located between the launcher and the armored cab, allowing the reload time to be reduced to 1.5 to 3.0 minutes. Although this combination is larger and heavier than the Soviet BM-21 on the Ural-3750 truck, it has the same road speed and a similar cruising range (600 km). It also permits greater tactical flexibility due to the additional rocket supply. This variant, known as the M-70, entered service in at least Czechoslovakia and East Germany. "

It is possible since OPGWC made a hummer pack that has a hummer with a TOW.

It's a TOW as far as the launcher is concerned (visually anyway).In reality it just fires a big bullet, it's not actually a missile.

Its good enough for me. :;);

Anyway, id be neat if it were a pack that would have ww2 soviet versions and FIA versions.

Have you not read what I wrote?

Read my previous posts in this topic.

CLSA mod is working on something called a RM70grad

can shoot unguided rockets from a tuck platform

check out page 7 and 8 in this thread

The big question is why you need to model this at all? Wouldn't a script do the job?

Nebelwerfers, Stalinorgans etc are what we wargamers call Off-board artillery. In OFP:s case. Way way off-board .

No complaint, just wondering .

Yeah, but I like my idea!!!!

MY IDEA!!!

it would work very well. I can taste it. I can build it using a 5ton truck but then I'd have to make a pseduo gun. not fun.

Well why? You're not firing a TOW missile You're just firing a cannon...It'd be OK if it were something like an SPG-9 or other recoilless gun, but no it's modelled to look like a TOW launcher

And yes I did read your previous post OmniMax...What? Yeah good idea...
