alex9111 0 Posted February 6, 2006 We don't know but I hope it is already in armas (like also walking inside flying c130 ) in NGPCG its almost certain though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.murphy man 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Man i was expecting you'd know by now (600+ posts) that we simply dont know any thing that detailed about Arma yet. All we can say is 'I hope so' I belive in one of the VBS modules its possible to walk around in the back of planes and around inside vehicles, so its certainly possible with the current OFP engine, and VBS1 being a slightly more modified version of the engine, and Arma being a even more modified version of it id say it could be very possible we'll have walking around inside (and on top, in the case of a boat) of vehicles in Arma. But i wouldnt hold your breath intill we get somthing solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NKVD 0 Posted February 7, 2006 After playing BF2 I can't imagine not being able to walk on ships Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Dawg KS 6 Posted February 7, 2006 Well actually the ability to walk on MOVING ships was cut in BF2, and walking around on static ships like those in BF2 is allready possible in OFP. I think the title of this thread should be changed, because walking on a ship and walking on a MOVING ship are 2 different things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-kelet0r 0 Posted February 7, 2006 it wouldnt really be of any gameplay advantage to be able to move around on a ship ingame - preferably i actually just want to see boats in armed assault, little rigs, landing craft etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metal Heart 0 Posted February 8, 2006 It would because then you could use AA launchers when being attacked for example or run around to different gunner positions on really big ships, shoot from inside trucks, air craft etc etc Not that important but it would make many new things possible in missions.

-kelet0r 0 Posted February 8, 2006 i would imagine that the most effective way of handling that would be to have hot keys for movement from passenger to gunner in say a humvee anyhow, how realistic is it to be manning several gun positions at once besides more than likely you will not be a sailor in game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
profe 0 Posted February 9, 2006 It opens up a some possibilities, boardings, cqb on the deck of a ship, assaulting the bridge of a ship, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D.murphy man 0 Posted February 9, 2006 lets not forget that this wouldnt just effect ships, but other vehicles too! like being able to walk around inside a cargo plane ect.. Could even do fun little missions with mid air anti terrorist operations on a passanger jet, or even in a cruise liner. Maybe a 'Defend the cruise liner against pirates' where the pirates try to board the ship on inflatble rafts whiles the crew has to protect the civilian AI and fend of the pirates with limited weapons and ammo. the possiblitys are endless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted February 9, 2006 I want to be able to land choppers on a moving ship!! Merlin challenge anyone?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-kelet0r 0 Posted February 10, 2006 well when you put it that way yes that sounds cool - very cool i wouldnt hate Arma for not including those ideas but damn they would be amazing if they were included - boarding enemy vessles etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batukhan 0 Posted February 10, 2006 We've gone over this at least 3 times already The end result is always the same: noone knows for sure, if it's possible, and everybody starts dreaming about boarding passanger planes using other planes and then it will turn into another topic about politics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a matter of whether or not it will be included in ArA, which I believe was the question asked. Besides, aren't all threads here speculation threads, and I hope for threads? Since the nice people at BIS don't bother answering questions. And if it's gonna go political in the end then I think I'll join the Pirate Party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 128 Posted February 11, 2006 well if armas incorporates improvements already in vbs1. http://www.virtualbattlefieldsystems.com/new.html i hope so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batukhan 0 Posted February 11, 2006 Yes sorry, my mistake.. i meant "noone know's if it's in the game".. i know it's possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are add-ons available for VBS1, and are not part of the core product. So unless some modders decide to make and release them, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for things like the NBC and Artillary modules(NBC module still isn't available to the public for VBS1). The ability to walk around on vehicles however was added to the core by way of patch, so there is a pretty good chance that it will be included in ArA. It does show the capabilities of the new engine though, so these things will be possible to modders if they are willing to try them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spetz 0 Posted February 27, 2006 What About Tank Dassant? (riding on top of tanks) That was a main tactic left out of OFP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â (riding on top of tanks) That was a main tactic left out of OFP Its very possible to achieve, so I can't see why they'd leave out so significant a feature. You'd be able to move a heap of stuff with a tank whether your towing a vehicle or carrying a squad on top and another on a piece of tin behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
