Is it just me or is scale model of tanks in opf

[Guest]

I mean the soldiers cramped together in a UH-60 in OFP?

BI must have used the wrong scale or sth, because the souldiers are sitting shoulder INTO shoulder, what would mean they were siamese twins that can grow separate from each other after having exited the magic Black Hawk (UH-60) doorframe.

Speak friend and enter... or so...

i was one flting in a Bell-212, it SUPPOSEd to acomodate 4 men at each side.

well, after me and my Gympy caught a seat, there was room left only for one more, a thin one........

millitary planners....um...think that all soldiers are 1.60 m and are equiped with m-16 only.

heck, i heared some marines say a M-113 can carry 13 men.....right............

did they mean 13 bodies?

I hope this pic is useful. I think it is a perfect scale reference! from the schweet people at FAS.org of course.

Awesome. I wouldn't need to stop when the light is red with one of those

Well , the possibility of a speed-ticket is hardly there either

And if you were lucky to brake the law. Who's gonna pull you over?

There was actually a show on TV a few weeks back.. They showed a man who stole a tank (M60 Platton I think) from the National Guard and drove through streets and highways with it. Cops followed him and waited for him to stick his head out, but ultimately, they had to wait until he ran out of fuel.

Good thing there wasn't any ammo in it.

after seeing that picture it seems the turret on the top of the m1a whatever is two small in ofp

Well, it's a tele-lense picture, meaning that anything behind a person will seem much bigger.

There was a case in San Diego a few years back where a guy stole a USMC M-60, flattened vehicles in a residential area, and was chased by the California Highway Patrol and local PD.

That episode came to an end when the guy tried to cross the center divider of a busy freeway and high-centered the tank. He wouldn't surrender to the cops and continued to try to free the tank, and the officers were forced to use deadly force.

I'd say that the vehicles are all scaled pretty well. The T-80 is a small tank - it's designed that way. A low profile helps protect it from enemy fire. Soviet tanks have never been designed with the crew's comfort in mind, and it's very cramped inside due to it's size. The M-60 is taller than the M-1, which took it's profile more into account as well. The M-1 is spacious compared to Soviet tank interiors. I think you can hear an echo in the M-60 turret. Both American tanks also have four crewmen, while I believe the Soviet tanks only have three. Americans rely on a human loader (contrary to the game's version) while Soviet designs have an auto-loading system. The non-armored vehicles, like the 5-ton and jeep, are also well scaled.

If you're wondering where I'm pulling this from, I'm a former tanker myself, and have either sat in, or seen firsthand all of the armored vehicles (and some of the wheeled) found in-game. Not to mention the studying that is required for knowing the capabilities of enemy vehicles.

the m16 is to short.. I countede the air holes and some are missing.. cant rember how many I think it's about 3-4 .

I'm simply amazed at the scope and accuracy of Opflash. Even if some things are off tad, there's nothing that comes so close and pulls it off so well.

That pic of the M1 is sweet. All of this just reminds me what a great job BIS did on this game.

Yeah, I count 13 vent holes in the handguard, and there should be 15 on a standard A2 handguard.

It looks great in the game though, had you not pointed it out, I wouldn't have noticed it.
