Vehicle Thread ArmA

[granQ]

Ok, its time to decide what vehicles goes and what stays.

Here is my list so far:

Airplanes:
A4
B52
Birddog
DH4C <- looking crap. wants to remove.

Choppers
Ch 34

Land:


Sea:

Static:

So.. what do we NEED to include aswell?
Answer with this form:


Vehicle: Huey
Status: Don't have a good looking model yet, but some others we could use maybe.
Motivation: Because a NAM pack without a huey wouldn't be so great.

Yeah remove the DHC4. Then we need to add A1 Skyraider as its so NAM and its slow & deadly for the ground forces (other fast yets just fly by and you wonder what just happened). However one of the fast movers is F4E Phantom, thats got to be included in NAM mod.

For land I think the T34/85 tank for NVA and basic dshk machine gun. For US, well dunno perhaps the M60/M551 could be ok.

Not sure about anything else right now. All in all its infantry combat with helo transport and close air support. Thats whats important. Yeah artillery too is very important but we wait for CoC UA instead of doing something ourselves.

A1: VTE
F4: Footmunch
T34/85: No idea?
DSHK: VTE
M60: Inquisitor
M551: Vilas

I'm not sure about the B52 as a first release addon. It'll really only be used in cutscenes. Focus could probably be better spent on getting other stuff out first.

Here are some thoughts.

Air

Bell 47 (H-13). At one point there were more of these in Vietnam than Hueys.
OH6 LOH. A shoe-in.
A-37 Dragonfly.
F4 Phantom.
CH47 Chonook.


Ground

M60. Main battle tank.
PT-76. NVA APC.
US trucks. Proper Vietnam era trucks.
Various Vietnamese transport. Things like scooters and french cars and trucks.

Waterborne

PBR. River patrol boats should be well taken care of by VTE.
Sampans. Good civilain and VC sampans.

I'll update some more if and when I think of them.

[granQ]

the thing with the b52 compared to french cars.

B52 already ingame in ArmA and "100%" done.

French cars isnt.

but boy wouldn't it be sweet with a larger vietnam town with alot of french civ cars, vespas and stuff.

the only thing i miss if this was a wishlist and not a "what vehicles are possible to create now with what we have" is a m113 with several "turrets", like 2 rear gunners with m60 or one of those "guntrucks".
