L118/M119 howitzer

Ironsight: Whats your intent for functionality? Will it in effect be a prettier substitute for the COC M101 or will it have added functionality anims etc?

I've never tried having the COC Howitzers charged but I doubt that the AI will fire over open sights which would be a nice feature if not overly realistic with modern dispersed batteries.

Also some sort of automatic FPF function would be helpful(as in an array function that would call in fire 100-200m in front of the furthest forward friendly troops...sadly I suspect it would be more complication than its worth.

Hows that Vektor 60 going?

It will be basically function the same way as the COC M101. Maybe I will add a commander proxy to make it look more like an artillery crew. There won't be much other stuff. Maybe a direct fire version.

Model's done. Untextured yet.

All these suggestions of pieces which, to be honest aren't very widespread or even heard of, I think would be better suited for, say, a pack of artillery pieces, not released individually, as I don't see that much interest in a Swedish exported to India and Nigeria piece, for example

well, FH77A could have been "sold" to the EDF when it was disbanded in sweden around year 2000

@Ironsight, any plans to include some sort of towing script for it? I know the current towing scripts aren't perfect but theyre still very functionable.

@eestikas and the_shadow:

Looks like a Pinzgauer 716M may have to be made then for this L118 Light Gun

Keep up the good work.

I made a small start on a Pinzgauer model sometime back. Only set up a blueprint and started on the chassis. A Pinzgauer is definately something I want to see in OFP but don't expect one to be included with the L118. I can include a tow script but that would mean I would have to make some vehicles compatible with the script. Right now that's too much work.

Progress on the L118: Model is almost done and I started texturing it. It still has a minor COC UA problem (the radio won't connect to the artillery battery) but nothing I can't fix I hope.

I can help you with that script. I did one for our Rapier AA Missile so that we can tow it anywhere. PM me if you need my help

We have our own, troops, nothing particularly artilleryish about them...hard to to portray insecurity about your endowment in OFP.

Will you give permission once the gun is released for teams to modify the configuration to allow or add their named vehicles to tow the gun then?

@Imshi-Yallah, good old drop-shorts eh.

Well when the model and config are done I am going to put up a download model for mods to use and abuse it. Everyone will be able to use and edit it as long as I will be credited. I think this is the best way to help other mods who are in need of a L118 and M119 as I don't know exactly when I can get the texturing done.

I will also release a complete addon (with textures) but that will be released way later

That is very good of you. This is an example of what the OFP community ought to be about.

[Messiah 2]

sounds good - reckon ukf will be keen to aquire this - texturing it shouldnt be a big deal

[Ironsight 1]

There we go. Download link for the model:

Rapidshare mirror

Use it as you want but don't forget to read the readme

Beware this is not an addon. This file is for addon makers only and only contains a source model.

[Imshi-Yallah 0]

Amen to that.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

Worked a'reet for me.

I see the model is missing the Laser INertial Automatic Pointing System (LINAPS) used on British Army L118 105mm Light Guns.

Great model though.

It's pretty much "deviceless" so everybody can use it for their own purposes. People can always model it on if they like

[tankieboy 0]

Cool.

Just need you to finish that Pinzgauer now .
