SpetsnazWarriorX 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Okei, I know the addition of a supersonic aircraft would maybe ruin the fun in some cases (i.e. in a campaign - making it too easy, perhaps). But still, how can anyone say they wouldn't want a MiG-25 Foxbat etc. in the game? I dunno, the thought of blasting round Malden at Mach 3 almost makes me drool. Not to mention The '25 was made in the 60s, way before OFP, and was still active (I think) during the Cold War... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordZach 0 Posted March 14, 2002 at mach 3 you would be over the ocean before you realized you were over land, good luck targeting anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactus 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Why? It would take you a couple of seconds to pass the islands, not much fun in that. Add to that the not so realistic handling of aircrafts in OFP and your better of with a flight-sim if you want some dogfightning. The engagement range of modern AA-missiles is also so large that you could probably kill your enemy from across the map. Some serious dogfigting with WW2-era planes could be fun although a little bit "arcadish" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordZach 0 Posted March 14, 2002 i think we should stick to the aircraft we have now, unless we want to start adding missile batteries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wadi 0 Posted March 14, 2002 Start adding Missile Batteries...Great idea! I think there should be a new type of unit in the unit window, like "Armoured" and "Men", and it should be artillary. That way there could could be non-mobile SAM batteries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordZach 0 Posted March 14, 2002 interesting concept. i believe GFX707 created an "aa gun" which was an immobile burried vulcan. i've seen a SAM bmp so combine the 2 and there you go. still, the problem is the speed of the aircraft, and then you would have to put in countermeasures, and evasive actions, which would require modding the hard coding i believe, and that would make a whole mess. we gotta remember this is an infantry game first.

If you slowed it down to below 1000 it just crashed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordZach 0 Posted March 15, 2002 well that's kind of like how it would really be OFP is built for infantry, choppers, vehicles, and close air support aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
