Heavy Bombers
« on: 04 Dec 2002, 19:35:10 »
I read a topic about this before in this forum about heavy bombers. I felt that I had to ask too with my point of views on it.

I think that there should be some form of heavy bombers in the game however unrealistic it might be. All I really want is a bomber with a lot of bombs. A lot meaning more then 30. I know that it is easy made with a minor model or anything like that, but it would be really great to see a huge bomb plan come flying in over you dropping a shit load of bombs. U would be running like a mad dog.

 Hmm this has been brought up a bunch before...  

The fact is.. that the bomber would fly too high to be seen.. and too fast to be on the map for very long..


soo.... if you want 30+ bombs falling.. camcreate them ;)

Well I do know of the B1, but in my opinion it sucks. Also as I said the bomber would be unrealistic of course as I know it would be flying too high. Maybe not to fast though as I would really like a WW2 bomber or something. Something slow moving and packing a lot of power. Also camcreate them is kinda boring as I want to be the pilot of this deadly plane.

And from before OFP isn't like the most realistic flight sim ever so a low flying bomber would do that much "damage" anyway

what i think would be good is a F117 (stealth fighter/bomber)

they are small, just as fast as any normal jet, and carry precision weapons (JDams) that are dropped at lowish altitude... plus they are sexy as hell  ;)

Those f-117's are crappy,  :-\ they have bad textures and the weapons can't hit anything.They have buggs. Im talking about them that Vit made. A b2 would be cool to. Well that was my opinions of course.  :P

HMMMM the B17 flying fortress would be awesome with the 100 some available bomb payload it can carry...dont know the exact numbers...but LOTS! Also the b17 wouldn't be any good in OFP cause of the need for the 5 additional gunners it uses (tail,nose,2side, and top middle) now if they ever update to accomadate the more then 1 gun per vehicle flying over 30kmph then DANG!!! i am into making a B17 but dont count on it:'(

I got to say a B17 would be a great plane to have however unrealistic it might be....flying at 100 meters and so. ;)

Also I don't see the need to make it soo realistic that it must have the 5 additional gunners, but think about the multiplayer mayham with 5 gunners. ;)

hmm well if u make a B17 u would ATLEAST need to include the guns...even if they dont fire...but MAN i wish some1 could find a way to make more ten 1 gun firable without combining vehicles:( that would make this game A lot better hmm tanks with MGs AND cannons at same time and lots of other things too:)

Nah, a B17 is too big and not as cool as you'd think.  It flies slowly at about 30,000 feet and only carries about ten 500 pound bombs.  That's why they had to fly in formations of hundreds to do damage.

An FB111 or an A6 would do the trick though.  They carry just as much as a Fort did and would fit into OFP a little better.  The A6 isn't that fast and the FB111 could be right down on the deck dropping Snakeyes.

umm if any of you have been reading the news posts at www.opflashpoint.org a few days back there was a post about a B-29 bomber being made. It may still be there. I'm helping the author beta test it, but havent started yet thanks to a momma load of tests, i'll get to it tonight when i get home. It supposedly has a bomb scope although i've been told it doesnt work too well yet. In addition, the other guns are probably gonna be script run so it will work the same...,.possibly by a gunner
