PROJECT'85 TOPIC

[Thunderbird 0]

Once more, great work.

For those who don't know about the AN/PAQ-1, it was the main LTD used by the US Army in the eighties (specifically in '85).

It will be implemented instead of the default SOFLAM for a sake of realism.

Here are a couple of shots/Information:

AN/PAQ-1 (LTD) Laser Target Designator.

This is a lightweight, handheld,

battery-operated laser device. Forward

observers use it to designate point and area

targets for aircraft and point target

designators for missiles and projectiles

equipped with laser-energy seekers.

Regards,

TB

A fast preview on Konkurs ( AT-5 Spandrel ) work in progress.

Note that colors may be different from final version, just testing here and there.

Cheers all, GH.

[GodHammer 0]

Hey Robert thank you, much apreciated

It will be modeled both for Infantry and Armored troups, yes.

Cheers and thanks for comments, GH.

@whole mod: the visual quality of your stuff is beautiful! all of you are doing a great job! take your time - don't rush anything....

Good work, guys!

But look at this screen -

There is two serious mistakes in your Su25

1. This plane has 5 weapon pylons under each wing instead of your 2.

2. KMGU is not a bomb, this is container ("Konteiner Malogabarytnykh Gruzov Unificirovanny" or "Small Cargo Container Unified") and works no such as this one on the screen. Plane not drops this container. The container opens and throws smaller elements - small bomb clusters, remote mining, e t.c. And can be used even for a placing 23mm guns inside.

Look for some pics of KMGU at work in google (i have found only german cluster container, hmm... ). Or look at it in the "Lock On" game, for example ))

Keep your nice working, guys

[vilas 477]

this screen is from tests

of course real SU has 5 pylons

but ArmA engine has limitation, you cannot use 2 types of rockets

shame, in OFP you could arm plane with few types, here NOT

this picture shows only test model

[dead kennedy 124]

Very sad

And what about KMGUs?

UPD: do you plan to include in beta-release some islands? IMO if you have not new islands, you can agree with Nicholas Bell for his nice Shmalfelden island. It perfectly suited for 85 style missions.

Why it would be nice to release it, along with the pack?

Because then in a MP game could not take care of additional addons. And this is a valid argument IMO )

What think about this?

[Shadow NX 1]

It was decided a while ago that Schmalfelden is the island we use for now.

Its indeed pretty good and realistic looking but maybe bit small for some big warfare and for my taste bit too flat for a wide variety of missions.

However Sgt.Ace now is working on a P85 island, we show screens as soon as there is something to see.

@ Dead Kennedy :

About the KMGU-2 I agree, but do not refer to pictures we show here, they are almost all test screenies, final result may change, often .

Also, are you sure about the KMGU/KMGU-2's possibility to carry a 23 mm gun?

The only gun pods using a 23 mm cannon, as far as I know, are the SPPU-22 and the UPK 23-250.

Maybe Soviet can help us with that

The possible loadouts for the KMGU are:

1) 248 x PTAB-1M submunition

2) 96 x PTAB-2,5RT submunition

3) 8 x OSD-OD submunition

and for KMGU-2

1) 96 x AO-2,5 submunition

Thanks again for suggestions, constructive criticism is always welcome, Cheers all, GH.

After Mapfact released their new Editor, you can plan a MP-Editor-Mapping Session to speedup the mapping process.

Hi,

About KMG-U

Quote[/b] ]The KMG-U dispenser can disperse mines or submunitions. It is a clam-shell type dispenser with three prime variants which differ in direction of dispersal of bomblets - left, right, or vertically downwards. The bombs can dispense 248 PTAB-1M bomblets, 96 PTAB 2.5 bomblets, 96 AO-2.5 bomblets, 8 ODS-OD bomblets.

When configured as a AO-2.5RT BLU dispenser, the weapon weighs 525kg. In this configuration, it is designed to be operated at altitudes of between 30 and 1,000m at speeds of up to 1,100km/hr. When dispensing PTAB-2.5 bomblets, the dispenser weighs 470kg, and is designed to be used at the same altitudes as for the AO-2.5RTs, up to speeds of 1,500km/hr. When dispensing PTAB-1M bomblets, the total weight is also 470kg, with designed altitude use being between 6-1000m, at speeds of up to 1,500 km/hr.

Maybe GEDIS can confirm...

About KMG-U2:

Quote[/b] ]KMG-U2 may simply be referring to when the KMG-U dispenser is configured as a dispenser of the AO-2.5 bomblets.

... not sure of that one

Interesting website

Good night,

This plane has 5 weapon pylons under each wing instead of your 2.

Current version, just to calm down any worries

and some random pics

[manzilla 1]

Wow

Hi. One question about US vehicles: are you planning to make them, as a another variant, in Winter MERDC Camo? I saw on screens US Armor in OD green and 3-color NATO, but no tanks and IFVs in Winter MERDC (Only one 5t truck by Fischkopp). As I know Winter MERDC was common in 80's. I know, it's a lot of work to make all US Vehicles in that camo, but I think it would add alot atmosphere to this mod

and the ones that did not fit in due to image pre post limit

thx Manzilla

Hi,

Very nice pictures!

Only one thing bug me and I think you know what it is...

These helicopter S-5 rocket pods on your Su-25. You really should change it for the plane version or the S-13 rocket pod. Your S-8 rocket pod is perfect.

Good day!
