Slightly Silly Suggestion -- Uparmoured War Van!

Expendable Grunt · 01-03-2008, 01:04 AM

Was on Basrah the other day with a few clan mates, and came up with the idea of giving the Insurgency a van - type vehicle with some welded / bolted on steel plates for protection, and a MG on top.

This would make it a psuedo APC type unit -- 8 seats (engine max) and more HP / protection than the technical (which should only have 3 seats tbh).

EDIT: Not a vodnik.

EDIT 2: Not a party van.

Like an uparmored band van?

that would be nice, i think. provides more armor than that white truck, which tbh is a rolling death trap.

would add a nice new element to the insurgents, as its something that could possibly happen

I like it i really do... It would be fun

Love the idea, something really shaggy and half assed :P

As long we are on the subject of cars, would it be possible to allow the driver to crouch while driving. think about it if your driving a truck, car rover and you get ambushed, its not that hard for some one to shoot the driver, and allowing driver to take cover (note driver cant see ahead of him just up when taking cover) and passengers would help players get away using the vehicles armor.

I like it. And who came up with this one out of that huge group you guys play with? But how much damage could it take before killed. I would say 1 RPG or rocket. And maybe a RL pic to get a real this going. Maybe like this:http://www.bahrain.citymax.com/i/new/PICT0002.jpg

The A-Team van.

A Uparmored Bus would be fun also.

but, thinking about driving about Al Basrah in a van that resembles the A-Team van brings a smile to my face.

It should have sliding doors on the side - perfect for drivebys

lulz at the thought of the A-team van rolling up Basrah main street to slide open its doors and do a drive by on a brit checkpoint
