the_shadow 0 Posted July 31, 2005 yeah, and sweden mostley uses the old "steel tube" M2 in peacetime... becouse they can take harder beating then the M3.... but maybe you could make a M2 also? since the M3 wasnt deveolped until around 1991 or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sv5000 127 Posted August 4, 2005 Laser made a new CG in his latest wep pack..its a nice looking model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted August 5, 2005 the reason it looks 'crappy' (to quote) is that the lighting is all wrong... you need to play around with sharp and smooth edges on it... for instance, the barrel of the CG - set the whole barrel to smooth edges, and then set the ends of it to sharp - this should create a better look... 4000 pollies is a bit on the high side - our LAW80 was only 2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firedrake 0 Posted August 5, 2005 Only Rangers and US Navy Seals use the M3 Carl Gustav in the US forces. Back in 1985 it would of been the M47 Dragon and for modern US infantry units it is now the Javelin. If you think the AT inventory in OFP is bad they did the same to the LAW system in VBS1. So soldiers can carry only 4 magazines. I'm definitely going to wait for OFP2, hopefully they learned from the Javelin issue in VBS1 by then as well. Although it not as bad as the Su-25 carrying a Su-39 loadout in 1985 and using anti-shipping missiles for a AT role. Thank goodness for Addon makers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gedis 0 Posted August 10, 2005 so what are the limits of points and faces in 0.000 LOD ? curently i'm at: points: 703; faces: 659 and modeling Carl Gustav M2 is 50%, not counting ammo rounds... Â P.S. moderators, move this thread to addons discussion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P.S. moderators, move this thread to addons discussion... limit of faces in O2 is 20,000 odd... possibly more... if you're asking what a sensible 0.000 LOD would be, it depends on how complex you want to get. I'd say for a weapon, around 1000 faces is the maximum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gedis 0 Posted August 10, 2005 as i thought i would need to fit in 1000 faces of 0.000 LOD and with all LODs 2-3k faces... em... i got ideas, but there are plenty time for their realising... like taking a day/night vission optics and putting on simple cgm2 and then you could aim not through mechanic sight, but from optic day/night... another idea how to reload cg: 1.fire. 2.open launcher's back. 3. shell goes out. 4. cg's support soldier loads new round. 5.closes launcher's back. 6. now you can fire...

Assault (CAN) 1 Posted August 11, 2005 and yes, it fires a grenade, complete with shell, similar to a tank.so it should NOT have that "swooosh" sound... This is a grenade. Those are 84mm rounds for the CG. I fail to see any similarity. Does the Carl Gustaf fire rockets? Yes and no. While the initial force that gets the rounds going is the burning of the round's propellant, the force it gives isn't enough to be effective. At least not on a modern battlefield. All the rounds that I've ever fired out of the Carl Gustaf (with the exception of the sub-calibre insert) were what are called RAP (Rocket Assisted Projectile) rounds. The rocket in the projectile gives the extra boost that the projectile needs. The initial combustion isn't enough because half of the force goes out behind the weapon to equalize the force of recoil. Hence the term "recoiless". Yes, there is a "swoosh" sound of the rocket igniting, but it's preceded by an incredibly loud "boom". I've felt the vibration in the ground of other Carl Gustafs being fired on the line at least 100m down. When your head is next to it, it doesn't seem as loud. Just be sure to keep your mouth open to equalize the pressure in your lungs, unless you want a snotty nose, sore ears, and a headache. The Carl Gustaf is incredibly accurate. I've personally nailed tank sized targets dead-on, at 600m with almost no effort on my part. The CG is one well designed piece of kit. It's just too bad that it was modeled so poorly in the game. Here's me with my Carl Gustav. No my hands aren't cammed, I was wearing gloves before and the ex was almost over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gedis 0 Posted August 11, 2005 as i know, CG doesn't fire rockets, only rounds, because it's recoiless infantry support weapon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe yours aren't updated? Or maybe you just fired off some of the old stock... I do know that our full-bore practice round, the HEDP round, and our HEAT round are all rocket assisted.
