Trucks towing artillery or motorized fieldguns
« on: 08 Jan 2005, 07:20:28 »
ok people here is a mission for you superscripters ;D

You know that most of the basic modern field artillery are still separate big guns that are moved and towed by trucks. In OFP its solved by one dude moving a Howizer by foot.... looks quite stupid.

1: Is it possible to make fex: Each COC fieldarty unit to have one truck wich he could attach to the gun, tow and drive to the next waypoint (when given order to change position after his (group) fire mission) and make ready for next fire mission.
Remember that in real life the gun is operated with more than one dude! Even with skilled crew it takes a few minutes before its unloaded from transport to firing condition and back. Anyways the COC arty is quite slow before firing, so in that sense timing is quite realistic. Snypirs SPT Pack:s arty is superfast (maby too fast) so there it:s a problem.... ups sorry there is a player controlled timer..... But as far as i know you cant order them change position, so that doesnt make any difference. Anyways COC would look even more realistic as it does now. (other artymods too)

2: Or fex: In real life some modern artys have got their own small engine to move itself emergency change position. I think its speed is about 5-10 km/h (5mph ) and that can be driven by one man. Those are big field guns with 4 wheels... Normal tranport mode is, towed by ammo/crew truck. WeÂ'r using them in the finnish army...

3: I WANT SHRAPNELLSSSS COC, tsheck snypirs arty in spt pack... :cheers:

they do have that with the howitzer in ww2ecs d-day pack, it is towed by an old duece and a half but may be able to switch it so its towed by a 5t
