Unmanned Vehicles? UAV or UGV?

[scribe308]

Is anyone working on making any unmanned aerial vehicles or ground vehicles? (My favorites are:

Dragon Warrior (UAV fly, hover)
Vigilante (UAV, OPFrenchpoint)
Ranger (UAV, from FDFmod 1.3)

I think these are soo cool, and allow a new modern aspect of sensors and intel to the game!

I could only wish. We need deployable UGVs from HUMVEEs too http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/biggrin_o.gif

Indeed that would be nice. I'm not a modder or anything, but I can't think of any way to successfully get something like say a predator to work. I dont think the engine could handle something flying and unmanned nor a fly by remote set up.I'm not sure that the game engine could handle a pilotless vehicle. Maybe trick the game into thinking there is some kind of perma-pilot in there or something. A good thought though, definatly a challenge to mod makers.

There have been several UAVs in OFP that have worked very well...

FDF Mod had a great Ranger UAV and control station that worked very well in OFP. Vigilante and Dragon Warrior as well. The Fennek vehicle also had a hand-launched UAV with a control station.

There were alot and I'm hoping they'll be "translated" to Arma for use there.
