eggbeast 3684 Posted January 16, 2010 In the current arma 2 vehicles there are no enemy boats with weapons: http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class/vehicles/boats/ meaning for example that completing the water patrol in evolution LOSES points, as you kill 3 friendly boats (RHIB2Turret's). I can swap them out for pbx's or SeaFox_always_enemy but then they won't have anything to fight back with... I'm quite keen on setting up repel the seaborne landing missions but the enemy can't easily use the USMC armed boats, so building in a russian armed boat would be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[aps]gnat 28 Posted January 17, 2010 an idea, but I can't find any modern RHIB type boats from the eastern side of the world .... Anyone got pics or specs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3684 Posted January 17, 2010 i guess you may have plundered these already - can't find anything russian in there though, but just making an RHIB as side east would be a start lol http://www.gunboatriders.com/index_main.html http://www.warboats.org/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) The Swedish "combat boat 90" (Stridsbåt 90) would be so cool. Now we in Sweden are classed as living in the "west", and its a little bigger than RHIB class hehe but... It would be so sweet to have it in game. :) Several countries baught it from us and its used in several places over the world. They are also used as fire fighter boats, police boats and more. (stills first and then video - cool video though. Youll like it.) (showing optics as well) IMAGE1 IMAGE2 IMAGE3 IMAGE5 (many versions here!) Boat specs: Total length: 15,9 m Hull length: 14,9 m Width: 3,80 m Depth: 0,8 m Height: (from bottom): to mast top: 5 m, to mast fot: 3,8 m. Max speed: ca 40 knots (ive heard 45-50). Engines: 2 Scania DSI14 V8 (14 liter, Turbo, Intercooler) om 625hp per engine (460kW, Helge). Alternatively: 675hp per engine (496kW Helga). Engine weight: 1 470 kg (1 620 kg incl. clutch). Propulsion: 2 FF-Jet 450 water jet aggregates. Armament: 3 MG's 12,7 + 4 mines or 6 s dive bombs. Reach: 240 Nautic miles at 20 knots speed. Fuel amount: 2250 liter (593.8 gallons). Weight(s):13 300 kg (empty), 15 300 kg (equipped), 18 300-20500 kg (loaded). Max cargo: 21 soldiers alt 4,5 tons. (Troop transport very good because of CRASH STOP tech where jets spurt water forward :) ). Crew: 3 (2 driver/navigator, 1 engineer). EDIT: Must be a nightmare with all those details. :butbut: Edited January 17, 2010 by Alex72 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgaz-uk 132 Posted October 6, 2010 , but just making an RHIB as side east would be a start lolhttp://www.gunboatriders.com/index_main.html http://www.warboats.org/ Wont work, still show as green so no lock, wont fire at West & incargo units wont unload. Someone need to make a East opforce RHIB or Fast attack boat PLEASE:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted October 6, 2010 Can't you just give the units whatever boat they need? It's typically rarely a boat vs boat scenario that goes on. If all fails, can't you just clone the boat class and set the clone to east (using the new beta command mergeConfigFile)? Awesome boat though Alex72. Would love to see it in the game too, but with setFlagTexture if it has a flag. But boats and sea operations aren't very friendly, probably why they haven't received the greatest of attention. AI have no clue on operating them, and the few islands that support water and rivers have way too small operating areas (causing them to get stuck everywhere). For me I consider boats merely as a vulnerable transport, not much as an attack vehicle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jelliz 10 Posted October 6, 2010 CB90 is an awesome boat, got my vote. The SB90N(Stridsbåt 90 Norsk) has been tested with a Hellfire missile system, and passed. (Though just tested, not in service) Totally a boat would cruise around in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eggbeast 3684 Posted October 7, 2010 @CG i guess I could edit the rhib to make it EAST, to avoid losing points for nailing it... I'm thinking of making a search and rescue side mission in evo where you chopper or boat out to sea and recover a pilot who is in danger of being captured by enemy boats/ choppers... the current water patrol causes you to lose points when you nail the enemy rhib's cos they're USMC WEST even after the enemy are in them.

sweguy96 10 Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) @Alex72. you know that Stridsbåt90 (CB90) is included with Swedish Forces Pack 2015 ;) IGNORE THIS!!!! Edited October 16, 2010 by sweguy96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgaz-uk 132 Posted October 28, 2010 It is possible to turn RHIB from West to east in the mission pbo after you have finished editing. If you want it to fire at west you have to change the gunners as well. Also if you have opforce AI in the boat when they get out the gunners kill the lot if you dont ! Maybe one day someone will make a Opforce Gunboat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe one day someone will make a Opforce Gunboat. f you group the boat with an opfor unit which is commander set it at higher rank) then the rhib would be an opfor unit. I think so anyway. Or you could place opfor crew in an empty rhib Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
