da12thMonkey 1943 Posted October 25, 2004 Mr.2 or Mr.4? Either way I'd love to see a Nimrod in OFP, it's a stunning aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWIFT88 0 Posted October 25, 2004 and the AEW version as it was an wierd looking aircraft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted October 25, 2004 Mr.2 or Mr.4? Either way I'd love to see a Nimrod in OFP, it's a stunning aircraft. Its an MR2 - the MR4 isnt too much of a stretch though. Essentially its just a case of enlarging the Wings and reducing the Tail boom. Look like its coming out of the archive then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adam.ni 0 Posted October 25, 2004 Be good to have the surveillanc on in the game. Be better if you also did a crash site (ohh secret surveillance technology ) of one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted October 25, 2004 Be good to have the surveillanc on in the game.  Be better if you also did a crash site (ohh secret surveillance technology  ) of one.

SWIFT88 0 Posted October 25, 2004 um...or... a mission similar to that of the P-3 orion in asia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adam.ni 0 Posted October 25, 2004 um...or... a mission similar to that of the P-3 orion in asia Yeah was thinking from a missions perspective of small specialised squad tactics recovering survivours and equipment and destroying the surviving technology which is not slavagible. Still dosnt mean i wont spend hours flying it around islands in mission editor either. It also is perfect for intro's into missions which for the british instead of a JStars or a AWAC's in the films (yeah i know we also have awacs but that dosnt exactly compare to the surveillance version of the nimrod in its role) .

Guest RKSL-Rock Posted October 25, 2004 You'll need the R1 for that sort of mission. It's the same airframe just a shorter tail boom and a few more antennas. Nimrod MR2 Specs (RAF Website) Nimrod R1 Specs (RAF Website) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevevcb 3 Posted October 25, 2004 I'd be happy to see one in OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLiltMon 0 Posted October 26, 2004 The Nimrod, it's a funny looking beast but I like it And the latest version just looks odd with the new engines. Although possibly not as odd as the AEW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cobra@pulse 0 Posted October 26, 2004 Rock, pritty sure you'd get enough support from this here forum. I have been waiting for this aircraft for sooooo long! hehehe, It was almost the reason why i wanted to try and get into addon making, i failed misserably though. lol AEW: it scares me!

Guest RKSL-Rock Posted October 26, 2004 Well its now a live project again. Â I spent about 4 hours last night reducing the poly count (the reason it got shelved initially) so at some point (no guarentees when) i'll release some new pics and a beta. Just some useless info for al the Nimrod fans: After the AEW project failed and was cancelled due to huge overspends and poor performance all the airframes were stored. Now most of them have either been canabilised or refurbised and upgraded to MR4 standard at BAE Woodford in Cheshire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RKSL-Rock Posted October 26, 2004 Ok, its a bit of a slow at work today...and i'm bored...and i'm more interested in working on this than process charts... The model should finally weigh in at about 5500-6000 polys for the 1st LOD. Â Thats slightly less than a BAS Blackhawk. As per the wishes of a number of people i'm going to do an R1 version too.
