Combat! discussion thread

[Rudedog 0]

Ok,  I decided to start a more general thread regarding our addons so as not to go off topic in the Bradley pack thread, so Mr. Moderator, you may lock that thread if you'd like.  

I'd like to start by saying that the Bradleys are coming along nicely, but the crew are the main holdup.  We have many projects and here is a preview of a few different variants I whipped up in a week or so ( These will be a seperate addon from the Bradleys).  They are still in the very early stages, with just basic texure work done.

Any chance of seeing some modern us trucks in this pack like for instance the FMTV and MTV series which have been in service since 1996 and are still being made today?

Mfg MEDICUS

The M4 C2V's full name is the M4 Command and Control Vehicle (C2V), and is used as a mobile command post.

The FVS, which is actually the M987 ( I typo'd in the screen shot)  is the M987 Fighting Vehicle System.  It is used as a cargo hauler and the base vehicle for all the other variants.

Those textures look good. The colors are IMO accactly right, which is a very difficult thing to accomplish. Very good job.

That C2 vehicle lloks very nice. Will you also make the ambulanse verion based on the MLRS chassis? It will be great as a replacement for the M113 ambulance.

Damn you! You call that basic textures? They look awesome if you ask me... Hopefully this will be nice replacement for COC's UA current MLRS (no offence to its authors, it just... beta).

BIG Boys toys

I've been thinking about what to include in this pack, because it will essentially be a bunch of Bradley variants,  this is what I've thought of so far:

* M270 MLRS

* M987 FVS (Cargo, with a couple versions, I.E. carring ammo for for MLRS, regular ammo version, etc)

* M4 C2V

*M2 AMEV (Armored Medical Evac Vehicle, since I dropped it from Bradley Pack)

* AMTV (Armored Medical Treatment Vehicle. Same body as a C2V)

*AMV (Armored Maintenace Vehicle, with M2 for defense)

There are a few others that I may consider, like the XM5 EFVS (Eleectronic FVS) , FAALS (Foward Area Armored Logistical Sysyem), another ammo version with a small crane, and there is also a version of the M987 FVS with surveillance radar on back,  Looks kinda like a MLRS but only the top half raises when in use.

Also, my brother Pablo, is developing an M577 and an M901 ITV (M113 with hammerhead Tow Launcher). Go to the site to see some screens of those.)

Hopefully our packs will make for better convoys to blast, more use of ammo and medical vehicles in mission, and should fit in nicely with BAS's Desert and Woodland packs when they are released.

Plus all will have random markings too.

This enough info for now?

One thing, stop talking about what you're making, start talking about what you're NOT making. I'm a little frustrated that an M2 pack became the US Army Addon Pack.

[Rudedog 0]

The Bradley pack did not become a US Army pack. The Bradley pack is awaiting others and is out of my control. I'm sorry if I want my addon to be of high quality and bug free. I'm just working on lessons learned by other mod makers. What fun is an addon when you have no missions or anything to make it special?

I will post some new pics of the Bradleys this evening, hopefully to tide you all over. Hopefully you will find the wait worth it.

[da_ofp_man 0]

wow those MLRS look amazing really good work

[Grizzlie 0]

This pack is definately worth of waiting.

Everyone wants to release stuff with barrels, and support stuff was till now deep in .....

And here we have very nice pack of armour and support

Plus new 5-tonners by Lee_H._Oswald - excelent!!

[Ironsight 1]

Add a FMTV to the pack this is a beautiful vehicle but unfortunately hasn't been made yet. Think it fits the pack pretty good.

*cough*Stryker*cough*

Everything looks werry werry nice

[Supah 0]

Looking really nice Rudedog I assume the MLRS will be CoCUA compatible? I always wanted to see some nice soft skin vehicles for OFP. A nice M-109 would be cool too or an aavp7. But you pbb have enough work on your plate right now

Only one Brigade has Strikers in the army they are still under testing and evaluation a bunch were sent to Iraq to be used in actual combat conditions. They worked great in the NTC but less that favorable performance in Iraq. Mostly mechanical problems and dealing with the unforgiving terrain. Yeah there is a model made of one for later use. It got sidetracked to repair the old hummve pack floating around and all the soviet black made equipment which took priority. So gotta wait still doing research on it..

I hope you make those MLRS Coc_Artillery compatible, would be nice to see those things chew away at a town.

Supa cool!

We all want high quality addons, and the bradly pack will be a high quality addon(s).

But I think it´s ok if they are 100% No one needs 150%.

Look at the T55 Pack. ~1Year of waiting and now you can "only use them to make nice screenshots" (yes, that sounds hard but I can´t use the tanks for MP and no update is out yet).

You will never find every bug, the community does!!

Great pictures of the new units, looking fantastic.

Take your time!   I think we all know that it's done when it's done  

Just an idea:

It would be really nice, if u could add a "place Medic-Tent"-feature to the M2 AMEV or/and AMTV. Saw this in the Minibus-Addon by the AirwolfMod. That would be sweet!
