Ironsight 1 Posted February 19, 2006 Was a bit bored today so I decided to model a L118/M119 howitzer: Faces: around 1500 May be nice for OFP since we are lacking some modern NATO side artillery units, especially howitzers. So far it's only been a few hours work but I would love to get some feedback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Catcher 0 Posted February 19, 2006 looking good so far, been waiting for something like this for ages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr ThunderMakeR 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Looks good, one thing Ive always wanted was some fully functional howitzers. We have all the components for them: towing scripts, CoC for ai controlled artillery, the Our Weapons aiming method for user controlled artillery, and even sling load scripts for moving artillery by air. But noone has taken the time yet to combine all these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironsight 1 Posted February 19, 2006 A more detailed picture: Can anyone tell me what the big round thing on the ground is for? Stabilization? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jagy. 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Nice work. But using of sharp/smooth edges arent good. Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted February 19, 2006 the platform under the gun is the fireing platform wich is lowered to support the gun when shooting (simply raises the weels from the ground) more info here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander 14 Posted February 19, 2006 Hi, It also allows somewhat easier traverse than manhandling a howitzer in the average heap of mud where guns are sited. Such platforms can also be found in use with other guns, like the 25 pounder. That gun looks good, as your work usually does. Regards, Sander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr ThunderMakeR 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Ironsight are you still working on that Ranger SOV? Sorry for being a little bit offtopic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted February 20, 2006 As said, the round surfaces shouldn't be sharp, only the flat sides of those round surfaces should be (generally speaking). As with all things, experiment with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As with all things, experiment with it Hello ? this is ironsight we are talking about .. not just someone who only just got O2 . I reckon he only made it all sharp edges is so we can see all the angles better as its still untextured . Looking good man , brits use same weapon , or very similar . looking forward to using this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot to mention that in my first post Thanks for the comments guys. Right now I am planning to release (when I get around texturing the damn thing) a big pack with howitzers for each user country represented in OFP. Countries including US, UK, Australia, Ireland etc. BTW: If there are mods who want to use the model, feel free to PM me. Quote[/b] ]Ironsight are you still working on that Ranger SOV? Sorry for being a little bit offtopic. The Ranger SOV? Wow that goes some time back. Last time I checked it wasn't up to todays standards. Maybe I'll restart work on it but don't expect it soon.

Sorry lol, I was looking up your past work and saw the RSOV from Jan 2005, but I mistook it for Jan 2006. Still, it did look promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the modeling part is mostly done right now and I am almost done coding it. It only needs some textures. So I don't think there's anything you can help me with. Unless you are a good texturer....

Ironsight 1 Posted February 22, 2006 OK got it ingame. Most of the coding is done. COC UA is plugged in but still gives some small problems which I hope to sort out soon. After that some detailing of the model. When that's done I'll start on the textures I hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_shadow 0 Posted February 22, 2006 someone willing to work on a swedish artillery piece? sold to both India and Nigeria.. (or, a slightly more odd one, a self propelled 155mm cannon wich can fire 14rnds/45seconds in fully automatic mode and was designed to fire tactical nukes) first sugestion is FH77B (or the older, not sold FH77A) Fieldhowitzer 77B and second suggestion is Bandkanon 1 Bandkanon 1C i can provide some reference photos of Howitzer 77A (wich is the older FH77 version) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironsight 1 Posted February 22, 2006 Guys, this is the only artillery piece I will be making for now. I don't have time to do any others, I am hardly able to finish this one. However when I got some more time I will maybe make some more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
