VXR 9 Posted August 31, 2004 What ever happend to the Dutch Mercedes jeep? I liked that one so much... Those are still under construction. We are discussing if we can release a early version, like one jeep. The other versions with weapons on it will be released later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted August 31, 2004 We are discussing if we can release a early version, like one jeep. The other versions with weapons on it will be released later. Nah, imo it's better to just make it perfect and then release it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr reality 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Nah, imo it's better to just make it perfect and then release it I would have to agree there.I don't particulally like teasers,i would much rather prefer the whole pack of jeeps.It's worth the wait, seeing how good your Dutch soldiers are.

GoOB 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Wonderful! My old favourite unit addon gets an overhaul! Just one question remains.... Are there any plans to retexture FDF's or DKM's XA180? I would love to see one in Dutch colors! Again, great work lads EDIT: And I love the new Diemaco pack by the way, I remember downloading it when it was first released as a standalone. But it is far more useful and interesting when it comes with units Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted August 31, 2004 Just one question remains.... Are there any plans to retexture FDF's or DKM's XA180? I would love to see one in Dutch colors! The one by DKM even had a Dutch flag on it One point of (slight) criticism: In the previous version, there were units with backpack and without. Now their just all without which is fine for active combat missions, but not always realistic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoweryBaker 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Those unit's camo could pass for American and American units are the only units i can bring myself to play as. I have no clue why. Anyhow, is the flag on the arm changable through a set texture? If i could change the flag they'd be American. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyhow, is the flag on the arm changable through a set texture? If i could change the flag they'd be American. Why would you want to download Dutch units only to use them as American units? For one... They use Diemaco rifles, another point is that they wear NLDPM vests and helmets! And no... I don't think you could change their armflags... As they are made to be Dutch marines... But my guess is on that a new international soldier model is on it's way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianTerror 0 Posted August 31, 2004 Quote[/b] ]American units are the only units i can bring myself to play as Well what exactly is the point of your post then? Obviously this is the wrong thread for you. Anyways, good job guys...these units/Diemacos are awsome. I'm using DKMS British armour with them for now and they go quite well together on Cat's Afghan map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imshi-Yallah 0 Posted September 1, 2004 The units are excellent, as is the patrol north mission up to the point where it ended automatically when one of my squads wanderd 300m off the axis of advance, thats perhaps a bit sensitive. The automatic helmetstateshift is really the business though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander 14 Posted September 1, 2004 Thanks for the comments. To answer various points raised in different posts: A V2.1 version of the marines will fix the magazine problem for the demolitions soldier. A backpack version of the troops will be included in a follow-on LLW pack on a later date. The FDF Patria is being remodelled and reskinned as the Dutch GVV, but that is not yet ready for release for some time to come. It is not possible to change the flag and play them as Americans. It would mean loss of Dutch citizenship when enlisting in a foreign army in real life. Regards, Sander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king homer 1 Posted September 1, 2004 you can also fix the thing with the M136 AT4 it can only fire one rocket, like the LAW would it make more realistic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniperuk02 0 Posted September 1, 2004 M136 AT and the LAW are single shot weapons if I'm not mistaken.. very nice addons good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr reality 0 Posted September 1, 2004 M136 AT and the LAW are single shot weapons if I'm not mistaken.. I think he was refering to the fact that the soldier has Three missiles to use with this weapon and he was asking if they could make it a one shot and throw away weapon.

the_shadow 0 Posted September 1, 2004 oh, and the AT4 doesn´t fire rockets, it fires grenades, like the Carl gustaf (recoilless rifle) so the sound, recoil and amount of ammunition is wrong... the sound should be a "BANG" not a "swoooooosh" and it should be virtually no recoil at all.... just a huge flame at the back and a grenade fluying the opposit direction (towards the target preferably) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_shadow 0 Posted September 1, 2004 no, its not a rocket (it doesnt have rocket propelling) it´s a fin stabilized grenade that is fired with a prpellant charge, that makes a BANG when fired (has fired it myself) it does only have a tracer in the back... no rocket engine or anything...

Matthijs 40 Posted September 1, 2004 I'm aware of this. Will be fixed, but other things have priority right now. Single use is not possible with add-ons like this. If we ever create a mod, it will be a discardable weapon. AT marines in mission Patrol North have only one "magazine". Give it a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOB 0 Posted September 1, 2004 I beleive there is a way... I think the OFrP ABL (AT4) as a one shot only system. But it's really no big deal IMHO... Since the AI usually needs 3 shots to be as effective as a human is with one ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted September 1, 2004 and SFP 4.0 will have AT4´s that AI discard after one shot... (atleast thats what they say) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthijs 40 Posted September 1, 2004 and SFP 4.0 will have AT4´s that AI discard after one shot... (atleast thats what they say) I have a system too. But any script would have to come from unit event-handlers. I could add somehing to our units, but it only makes life harder when we will move to a mod folder.

Lt_Phoenix 0 Posted September 2, 2004 and SFP 4.0 will have AT4´s that AI discard after one shot... (atleast thats what they say) PUKF's LAW80 already has that function. Maybe you could ask them if you could use their scripts or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
