Where's the Vodnik?

Recommended Posts

I remember seeing a Vodnik listed under the ground vehicles in the Features section of the US ArmA website...

but it's not in the patch? what happened to it?

It was listed here but it looks like they removed it.

Also, "UAZ-469 RECOILLESS RIFLE" is listed but not in game.

Then under weapons we have "M4 ACOG", "M4A1 ACOG", "M16A2 + M203 Grenade launcher", "AK74 PSO scope", "AKS74UN Kobra", "AKS74UN PBS-4 Kobra".

Some similar weapons are available, such as the ones with GLs but they have ACOG scopes and have no ironsight versions as listed on the page. None of these weapon variations are in the game.

There are no Kobra sights at all in the game.

The "AK74 PSO scope" would have been better to have than the "AKS74 PSO1" because it would be more accurate. It also would have been a more fair equivalent to the American SPR.

They are also listed in my manual, wich I got with the 505 release of the game. Another weapon that is listed in my operation manual, and neither exists ingame, is the M4 M203 + CompM2(Aimpoint).

...M16A2 + M203 GL... None of these weapon variations are in the game.

The M16A2 w/ M203 are in the game... wink_o.gif

@[ZG]BUZZARD:

hey mate,

believe me - it was not my goal to disappoint anyone. For my old opf-vodnik i only finished 1st lod and some basic textures, but i underestimated how time consuming university would be.

i had plans to donate my model to the community, so somebody could finish it - but unfortunately i lost the old one - crc error on my cdrom backup :-( sh!t

at the moment i use my (very little) free time to build a new model from scratch - , but progress is very very slow due to university - but as i promised, the project is not dead - i still dream about having one ingame... but i am unable to work as much on it as i really would like to - but again i have to say that i don't know when i will be able to finish this baby.

regards cl10k

ps: will post some early wip pics of the highres-model in arma "stuff ur working on" soon thumbs-up.gif

Is is true that there were actually a number of models that were completed but never "activated" in game? I know that there were the police variants of the landrover and the UAZ and a desert version of the M24, but i've also heard that there were references to a SPG-9 recoiless rifle and a XM8.

So perhaps the variations of weapons do exist, but were never actually completed in time...it's quite possible that they would be included in future patches.

Hehe, I forgot about that one.

I see the UAZ Recoilless Rifle also appears in the 505 version manual. It would be a nice vehicle to have, especially as an equivalent to the Humvee with TOW launcher.

cl10k, it is great to hear from you again! biggrin_o.gif

Sorry to hear about the old model, it looked great and was so advanced... sad_o.gifsad_o.gifsad_o.gif

Though, as I said, my hopes die hard and therefore I have faith in your work! smile_o.gif

And, as I wrote in the OFP Thread, I'll wait for as long as necessary for your success! thumbs-up.gif

If I knew anything about addonmaking I'd help, but unfortunately... confused_o.gif

But hey, you could ask maybe granQ or someone to help you out...

Keep it up! yay.gif

yeah about stuff in the game but not activated i can tell that after patch 1.08 the police is available now from civilian cars i think it was under, but the policeman is a racs soldier with m16 tounge2.gif imo not so police more heavy police but I think community will make police units that will be nice sooner or later. smile_o.gif

I found paa files for a number of weapons that i would LOVE to see ingame, including m1014 shotgun and a Siaga 12K !

there was also ones for an AKM , Bison and SD version , a colt 1911, I really hope BIS get these into the game.

And while peeps say, the modders will do that, most servers dont run mods, so if BIS impliment it it sure to be used online in a wider range of servers.

A vodnik would be great to see as Uaz's get a bit boring after awhile. But at the same time, I dont see the SLA using one just like I dont see that new Russian jet fitting in very well currently.

Those all would be a bonus but I really want that AKM put ingame.

yes. It's importnat that BIS give a range of different operating and different caliber assault rifles and other weapons.

why?

because BIS are the official source for ArmA that sets the standard. and that way when playing online or with addons it becomes a lot easier for weapons to be properly 'related' in performance to each other and MP longevity is increased.

that way we can avoid m60 laser guns with no recoil or other super guns.

most importantly i gives the community a point of reference around which too base the behavior of other weapons can be determined.

PS - a vodnik would introduce some diversity. that'd be good.
