Funny! Here in Boston,M.A. they use them to transport tourists downtown and on the Charles River.

I thouht that it would be fun to drive one in OFP.

Be sure that I will be downloading it as soon as it come out.

interesting story bout the DUWK aka Duck.

when put on trial they headed down to the beach for testing/show and the waves were deemed "unsailable" and the trail was about to be cancled.. perhaps the entire project too... but... out on the horizon.. a USCG tug overcome by the waves fliped over and its crew helpless....

driver of the DUWK wasnt about to sit around and watch these men drown... so in 6 foot high waves (if memory serves me well) she set sail. out to the USCG vessel, rescued the stranded sailors, came back to shore, pulled on land, they disembarked safely, and the DUWK got the USN stamp of approval on the spot.  smile_o.gif

edit:

oh yea and u think you could make a civi one for us city slickers that are fortunit enough to havem in our cities... so that the OFP civi population has land-water tour vehicals and flood rescue vehicls?

and dont tell me OFP doesnt flood.. on teh rights days @ the right times that sucker floods most cities on most custom islands tounge_o.gif

eh the Pittsburgh PA USA one's have prettier colors on em so nah tounge_o.gif

lol im just kiddin. pretty cool how an awe inspiring vehicle made during a wartime, for war, could have such a wonderful useage after the war.

ironic.... on how many anti-war hippies ride in that thing on tours still with the "war is bad" mindset.

then again those same people use the internet too.. and the net was invented by the ilitary, for faster wartime communications. oh what an ironic tangled web they weave

anyway back on topic, i still think a civi rescue + tour version would be cool smile_o.gif just think the citizens of nogova being takin on nogovan river tours, same goes for other river islands

*|chants|* civi version. civi version. civi version biggrin_o.gif

could call it "Just Flashy Tours" so that it remains free for any island to use

That's not cool.

In fact, it's a shame.

Although there are hundreds of DUKW's still in existance, it's a shame to see how a lot of them have been so civillianized. Then again it just raises the value of the vehicle for those who own them, so I guess that's a good thing (not to mention with the competition of CHICAGO DUCKS who purchase any and ALL DUKW's that they find no matter what) unless it get's hit by a 44 ton truck like one restored - to military specs - once was.

Gotta go. Just really screwed something up. god damnit.

well consider the options for leftover DUWK's

Civi - tours & rescue

Musem - collecting dust

Scarpyard - becomes the next can o soup u buy

which would you rather choose? rock.gif

thats what i thought. hence why its nice to see them still active and still in very useable condition 365 day-year service. see them driving/floating down the rivers and city streets. the only differnce is the only shooting @ or from the vehicle are with a 35mm camera wink_o.gif oh and of course the colorful and livly paint jobs smile_o.gif

Looks awesome!!

The canvas looks a bit dark, though. But for the rest it's an ultracool vehicle.

Normally the vehicle would be deeper in the water, but I believe this means having water in the cabin, right (because of the OFP-engine).
