Lets get away from squares!

Recommended Posts

Hey guys.. has anyone looked into the deployment of airborne forces using the standard military parachute types..ie, round, with a rotatable not steerable chute?

Having jumped for many years using the standard chute, (C130, Chinook, Ch53, Huey, Skyvan, Transall etc) It would be good to see them ingame, as the vast majority of all major airborne ops use the normal round jobs..

My apologies if this has already been covered but I haven't got several hours to check all the forum..:D

If anyone has a link to an existing mod anywhere it would be appreciated..

pretty sure i saw round parachutes in ArmA1 from a mod, it'll just be a matter of time. ArmA2 is still relatively "fresh" and the addon developer tools arnet even released yet!

§12) Do not type in all capital letters, all bold, or in a non-black font

Typing in all caps equates (according to standard net etiquette) to yelling. It is also difficult and obnoxious to read such posts. This also applies to posting all in bold or all in a certain font colour just to try to make your words stand out, if your point is interesting enough or well written enough it will stand out. You're welcome of course to use different colours for parts of your post if it helps clarify certain areas, but typing complete messages in any colour other than black should be avoided.

:nono:

Someone converted some old flashpoint missions over to ArmA 2, & in the one called "battlefields" I'm pretty sure when your counter attacked a load of guys jump out of a helicopter on round chutes, so they are in there!

Speaking of chutes,I did my first skydive from 15,000ft at the weekend,the most intense & awesome thing I've ever done :cool:

I think those are larger cargo chutes. I haven't really looked myself though.

Yeah I was disappointed with the round chutes in ArmA2. They're the cargo type and I think you either can't get in them or you're invisible when you're in them. I'm still praying that someday we get some proper parachutes for people, say square steerable, round steerable, round static, and a special kind for ejection seats. Oh and you should have to carry it in inventory. Assuming everyone on the UH-60 has a 'chute is so BF2.
