MBot 0 Posted April 7, 2009 An-2 for CDF and An-24 for Russia would have been great choices for transport/paradrop. I also wonder if we will see some civilan aircraft or helicopters under the civilian section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norsu 180 Posted April 7, 2009 Hopefully we'll see cargo plane for Russia in future. Right now the fixed wing list is rather unbalanced for USMC which seems odd because the game events occur on Russia's backyard . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big-Rooney 5 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) Fixed Wing Aircraft: No military simulator is complete without a hangar full of planes for the gamer to fly around in! Most fixed-wing aircraft in the game are state-of-the art jet fighters or attack planes, armed with cannons, laser-guided bombs, iron bombs, unguided rockets and guided missiles. Some planes are capable of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). A-10: The A-10 Thunderbolt is a single-seat twin-engine straight-wing jet aircraft used by US Armed Forces. The aircraft is designed to provide close air support for ground forces by attacking tanks and armored vehicles. It is armed with a dual Hydra rocket system, dual AIM-9 air-to-air guided missile platforms, four AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground tactical missile launchers, three Mark 82 low-drag general-purpose bombs and with a 30 mm gatling cannon. A-10 Picture AV-8B (Fighter): The AV-8B Harrier is a single-seat attack aircraft that provides powerful air support for the Marines. The AV-8B can perform Short/Vertical Take-Off or Landing (S/VTOL) making it ideal for improvised airfields and carrier launches. It is armed with a dual Hydra rocket system, dual AIM-9 air-to-air guided missile platforms, six Mark 82 low-drag general-purpose bombs and with a 25 mm cannon. AV-8B Picture C-130J: The C-130J “Super Hercules“ is an American tactical airlifter. This four-engine turbo-prop military transport aircraft is capable of transporting up to 92 passengers or up to 33 tons of cargo. The C-130J with a range of more that 5.000 km and maximum speed of 671 kph is considered to be most important transport aircraft worldwide. C-130J Picture F-35B: The F-35 Lightning is a single-seat single-engine stealth-capable military multirole strike fighter. It is capable of providing close air support, tactical bombing or air combat missions. The F-35B is the Short-TakeOff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) variant of F-35 prototype. It is armed with two guided bomb units, dual AIM-9 air-to-air guided missile platforms, and with a 25 mm cannon. F-35B Picture MQ-9: The MQ-9 Reaper is a combat ready unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It is the first purpose-designed hunter-killer UAV designed for long endurance high altitude surveillance. The MQ-9 is capable of carrying 14 AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-ground missiles as well as two GBU-12 Paveway laser-guided bombs. MQ-9 Picture MV-22: The V-22 Osprey is a multi-mission tilt-rotor military transport aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) abilities. It is designed to operate in a similar capacity to conventional helicopters but with the long range and high speed performance of a turboprop cruiser. The V-22 is able to reach speeds of 509 kph and can transport up to 32 passengers or up to 7 tons of cargo. MV-22 Picture Pchela-1T: The Pchela-1T is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed in Russia. Its primary uses are surveillance and observation or target designation. Pchela-1T Picture Su-34 (Fighter): The Su-34 (NATO reporting name: Fullback) is a Russian-made two-seat fighter-bomber and strike aircraft. As with many modern bombers the pilots sit side by side. The Su-34 is equiped with GSh-30-1 30 mm cannon, six Kh-29 air-to-surface missile systems, four AA-11air-to-air missile platforms, and two S8 air-to-surface missile platforms. Su-34 (Fighter) Picture Su-25: The Su-25 (NATO designation: Frogfoot) is a single-seat twin-engine jet aircraft developed in Russia. It is able to withstand heavy enemy fire thanks to very robust armored construction and finds its key strengths in the areas of low-level maneuverability and accurate weapons delivery.

pathetic_berserker 4 Posted April 7, 2009 Great array of aircrafts...Too bad though no transport aircraft for OPFOR or a civilian one. I would gladly swap the Sukhoi for an An12 or a Cessna... totaly agree there. I also think it would be good to see another Russ fighter. But then again we have seen some nice Russian fighters come out of the community for AmA1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commando84 0 Posted April 7, 2009 maybe they did the load outs that way to balance the aircrafts in mp or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MBot 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Is it just me or is the nose of the AV-8B+ looking strange? the real Harrier looks sleek, the Arma Harrier ugly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BAE-McDonell-Douglas_AV8B_edit5.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted April 7, 2009 Lol, its like a long-nosed thing compared to the real picture.. Also some have other nose aswell: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/images/AIR_AV-8B_Side_Hover_lg.jpg A italian one comes closer: http://www.avianoapproach.it/04_base....001.jpg And a british old one at closest:http://www.military.cz/international/air/harrier/images/hargr3_3.jpg Here are some nice ones too: http://amraamline.50megs.com/photos.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MBot 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Well the long nose itselfe is correct, as the AV-8B+ has the AGP-65 radar installed (vs. no radar in all other Harrier versions). Still it looks very different than the real one (on the link I posted or your Italian one is also a B+). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just posted a picture of the AV-8B Harrier II. The USMC however uses the AV-8B Harrier II Plus version, which has a longer nose due to its APG-65 radar.

Big-Rooney 5 Posted April 10, 2009 While the Forums where down, BIS released the last two sections of the Vehicles Section Civilian Vehicles: Civilians prefer to use the sturdy and easy to maintain Eastern European make car that they're familiar with, whether it's their personal family car, or the wood-hauling truck they use for work. Sadly due to the horrible conditions of the local roads most cars native to Chernarus are in poor condition. Urban Cars: Want to haul some wood to your cottage, drive your spouse to a shop in Chernogorsk or sneak through checkpoints with several bottles of vodka stashed in a cardboard box? Either use a car of your choice or take a bus. If you see the white-yellow car behind you, put the pedal to the metal! Urban Car Picture VW Golf Picture Bus Picture Police Car Picture Cargo Transport: No matter what needs to be transported, the trucks can do it all: gravel, lemonade, guerillas or weapons. Ural Transport Picture V3S Picture Datsun Picture Hilux Picture Other: If you need to travel light, use a mountain bike! Tired of pedaling or in urgent need to escape the bad guys? Ride the motorbike! Mountain Bike Picture Motor Bike Picture ArmA II: Civilian Vehicles Ships And Boats: ArmA 2 offers a few small military boats, along with Chernarussian fishing boats. Fishing Boat: Simple boat used to catch fish in the sea. According to the international Food and Agriculture Organization there are about 4 million of commercial fishing boats worldwide. This is one of them. Fishing Boat Picture PBX: The PBX is a Combat Rubber Craft very similar to the CRRC in design. It is intended to be used for maritime raids and infiltration, as well as riverine operations. PBX Picture RHIB: The Naval Special Warfare Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) is a fast, high-buoyancy all weather boat designed to transport a fully equipped team of eight men and three crew members. It is also fully transportable by C-130 Hercules. This one is equipped with an Mk 19, 40 mm grenade launcher. RHIB Picture Private Small Boat: Many Chernarussians own small private boats, which are mostly used for fishing and recreation. Treacherous currents and hidden rocks make these vessels perfect for navigation along the Chernarussian coastline.

nodunit 397 Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Awesome a HMMWV with AA launcher ! :eek:Anything cant get better. Good work BIS! Yus I agree the quality of Arma2's vehicles is excellent especially the tires on the MTVR. Comparing the BRDM-2 to the Vodnik you can really see just how much they learned through the process and I was surprised to see the bushmaster on their LAV actually have the indentions like the real cannon. Also yay had to re-register because my old sign in for some reason didn't work..ah just as well, I had that warning block for several years (I blame you Franze.)
