Miniatur sea battles

[Sxep 0]

How about this...

Make Small Battleships (that maybe work with the multiple turret script) to simulate large scalle battles of WWI.

The "island"/BattleScene should just be water. ( )

So the ships (like the Bismark) should be a bit bigger then the standart ships in OFP.

I think this idea isnt To bad..

...Some of you may think it is bad...

Oh well the only things that need be modelled also could be some swordfish planes or other WWI planes that where in service in that time...maybe a dock to.

Just gimmi a line of what you think of it.

And i may set up a team for this.

That sounds like a good idea. the only thing is when u see it in port it would look kinda weird.

[Sigma-6 29]

You wouldn't. The only port you'd put it in would be one that was using related miniatures.

i can think of the only "real" problems would be the water and Camera behavior?

Hi Sxep nice idea for some alternate combat but i think it will take ages for the ships to get made as they are still so big.

Incase you didn't know i had started the swordfish to go with the bismark from AIA, but i think that Sgt Poulet (who was making the bismark) has had to leave the community. So i don't know if these addons will get finished ?

What about player models? Like parachuting from a striken plane...

I have seriously thought on this...would involve minature soldiers,boats and planes etc...

One problem that I can see is that geometry needs to be about half a meter to work.So buildings with walls may be difficult to have inside rooms

I already have shrinked a Corsair and a Pilot to 1/10th the size.(10 meters = 1 meter) so the Plane is about a meter wide and long.I am having problems getting ingame and I think the soldier animation linking may be involved.

Would prolly require a complete set of animations ,along the lines of a childs size.

could be done ,but then the geometry micro problems

kewl Idea, just remember not to typo which war it was during the filming ;)

Fairey Swordfish entered Fleet Air Arm service in '39 and the KMS Bismarck launched in May '41 I think

the idea is great tho, but there a lot of limitations of the OFP engine that may take away from it, like visual damage effects, weapon usage and employment restrictions et cetera.

I believe its possible to pull off tho.

I've no addon experience so i'd be useless here tho.

GL on your idea tho

Hi,

And for this you dig up a more than 6 year old thread?
