Ballistic Addon Studios Update Thread

I see in the interview you mentioned a reskinned version of the Hind.  I don't know what the deal is exactly with the editing of BIS units, but would it be possible to make changes to the model, namely just adding animated landing gears?

[Messiah]

for that they would have to create a new Hind... or at least thats how i remember it...

Hi everyone

i was recently reading an article about the raid on Saddam's sons hideout and it mentioned that they used an avenger missile launcher which was mounted on 2 HMMWV's and i got me thinkin how cool it would be if somehow BAS could work this into the desert pack.

aparantly they were firing missiles into the house at a rate of 2 per minute

i just found that fascinating

The Avenger is a Humvee with Stingers (http://globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/avenger.htm), as rockets are possible to implement on wheeled vehicles in ofp, this wont be possible to add.

I have a feeling what you actually mean is a Humvee with a TOW, as these are what were used against the house in Mosul, images from the battle:

TOW being fired:

On its way to target:

Detonation:


And a bigger picture:

And it wont be made for the same reasons as the avenger.

[Messiah]

whats amusing is seeing all the spent .50 cal shells on the floor next to the middle hummer. they are huge....

are those men from the armoured divison? 34th Armoured... hmmm... rings a bell...

[Tim Pink]

i thought it was the 101st airborne

200 men versus 4 iraqis in a four hour siege

the iraqis pushed them back 3 times

thats hardly seems fair

lol

[Messiah]

might have been the airborne... i don't know... but why the 34's on the hummers?

and are BAS implementing such things on their hummers?

[Eviscerator]

Probably just the number of the vehicle, and not too sure on whether that will be implemented, DM will be able to answer that.

And there will be no details on the OPFOR, whats being included and their features, which armies are being made etc, we want to keep them a surprise

[Messiah]

hmmm... i was indeed the 101 airborne... so the 34 is still getting at me... its not the number of the vehicle since there are 2 in the pic with 34 on... hmmm

[desert_storm_dude]

i don't know but i believe the number stands from you company or battalion or something like that cause the tanks that were in the front of their very long column had
^   0
0   V

the had a zero i don't know why i think i saw a marines abrams with 41.  3ACR had
H6  #>

i remember seeing a new animation to the littlebirds.  When you had the men in the seats on the side instead of having their guns between their legs you had it like they real do carry them on the littlebirds when will this be released

[SilentEcho]

If i remember correctly desert-storm-dude I think the little bird upgrade will be released when JAM is complete as the upgraded version will include the new SOAR pilots of which will come equiped with JAM compliant m4's.

Actually I thought you can fire missiles from a weeled vehicle, just no GUIDED missiles. (which is the reason why you can't do the TOW and Avanger; you'll have to wait for OFP2).

Evis (or any other member of BAS)
you haven't answered my question, so here it is again;
the mirrors on the HMMWV have been changed to the A1 standard. Have you also changed the grill on the bonnet to the A1 standard?(I can't see it from the pics)

No its all rockets, it is possible to make a very strong bullet, but it acts nothing like a rocket.

And i didnt answer as i have no idea what the answer is, i dont work on the desert vehicles.

[ninemili]

LOL, that's my third (fourth?) account at OFPEC, as i'm notoriously forgeting my passwords, anyway, here we go again...

Speaking of TOW, Marfy made a beautiful one on tripod, Is this particular tube among his addons that BAS agreed to finish?

Here are the pics:
