I wish they would add those real Mapping Tool"l NATO map symbols, as it can be seen in VBS-1 to the junior style handdrawing map markings we have now.

lol, when i post t.a.c.t.i.c.a.l. (without the dots and quotation marks), the forum code interpretes and changes it into "Mapping Tool"l", cool thingy.
So whenever you read Mapping Tool"l in my posts, you know i originally wrote t.a.c.t.i.c.a.l.

do you guys think they'll release these as add ons or as a new OFP2. I would think these would need a different engine?
Either way, I would be hooked!
I am sure that the models at the very least would be compatible

No it won't go public. It's for the military. Although BIS has said that we could get some of the units as addons.

Codemasters has made an article about VBS1... check out: <a href="http://www.codemasters.com/news/displayarticles.php?showarticle=780&PHPSESSID=c177ea2217696c513a64289a4050cf05
Most" target="_blank">http://www.codemasters.com/news....
Most</a> interesting part:
"Although the modified version of Operation Flashpoint will not be available to the public and part of the content will remain strictly confidential, certain developments and units will possibly be made available at some later stage through additions or upgrades to Operation Flashpoint owners around the world."

Surely they have already done that with the addition of the Steyr and the G36, and possibly also the Bradley which I have noticed on the VBS1 site. Though, hey what does it matter where they come from or what they are, if we get new toys to play with, cool.
Damage Inc, that is an Assault Amphibian Vehicle Personnel, or an AAVP7A1 (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/aavp7a1.htm). Check the link you know I'm right, its the Marine Corp version of the Bradley.

That MH-53 and UH1 would be hot.
I would love to see an Hummer with a mounted M60 or SAW on it.
Huey+ M60D(the compact version for choppers etc) would be nice too.
Damage Inc
Dec 14 2001, 18:52
Yeah that's it, or at least it looks a lot like it.

Dec 14 2001, 19:03
Do you hounestly think that they would release that to OPF'ers?
I bet they don't even have legal right from Codemasters to release it, 1.35 or 40 whatever will be the last patch
so don't expect them to release a Harrier or whatever.

wouldn't that be an amphibious troop carrier?

LoL they guy posts, but tells us nothin about the game d*amn u and ur top secret shenanigans http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Also im thinking of these modifications are cababilities to shoot 2 guns from 1 unit (just poking in the dark)
Why is it that everytime an OFP developer opens it's mouth some kind of weird alien talk comes out? And furthermore, they answer with questions, which is quite annoying.
What? I have answered on IGFs question http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
I never do it again if you are so disappointed. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
Erex why don't u tell us if any of those units will make there way into OFP in the near future http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

j/k...sheesh.
oh, j/k means just kidding...Just in case...
It's just that it's funny to read this thing about VBS and then reading a reply from one of the OFP dev. and you start thinking "Yea! We're finally getting the answers!" And then you reply on another question. Happens all the time, but still looks funny.

Aw, cmon, are you just pulling our strings Erex? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
How about a functional LST (ramp up/down with possibility to carry vehicles), as the model is already in there.
Would the helicopter/ VTOL carriers feature LCAC´s or work together ith the LST to bring troops ashore, or be just eyecandy and unfunctional like the LST?
LCAC (Landing Craft, Air Cushion )

(Edited by Satchel at 2:09 am on Dec. 15, 2001)
problem is that u cant just unload straight away of these things u need to put the ramp down and the crew needs to do stuff to unload the tank/vehicle, would u simulate this is in opflash?
Satchel
Dec 14 2001, 22:13
As a last resort, if simulating a functional hydraulic ramp is to difficult, it could be handled a similar way it´s like with the APC´s and IFV´s for now, there too is no ramp movement, but you can embark and disembark, the same way it should be possible for landing crafts, just implementing them for eyecandy doesn´t make much sense.

You would probably fall through the hull anyway when walking around inside it- becoming fishmeat, so i could do without it. But without functionality more useless ships are not appreciated, i would instead prefer further finetuning, bugfixes and other additions/ improvements that really affect gameplay.
