Vodnik should be amphibious - Page 3

trogdor1289 · 05-15-2006, 09:23 PM

I would like to see a different avdangte for each viechle which gives it different advangtes such as HMMVW has best armour but is slowest, Vodnik is amphibous and normal armour and Nanjing is bat out of hell fast but really weak armour wise.

Vodnik looks like its armor would be pretty thick.

Should be amphibious, like said in the topic.

HMMWV is not that well protected IRL, I don't know where you get your info from but its wrong. The vodnik is basicly a smaller APC meant to be more economic and faster than a standard BTR. It is usually armoed iwth a 14.5 mm cannon which makes it more similar to an LAV than a HMMWV. Floating vodniks FTW!

I was thinking it'd be nice if the vehicles could go at their respective real life speeds aswell. Maybe impliment some sort of gear system in the game so that people aren't going full speed all the time. I know the reason that the cars don't have a realistic speed because you'd have to tap the go button to keep it going slow enough to handle it. But if there was some gear system you could just kick it down a gear to slow it down or something like that. Since not many people have a pedal for BF2 or use a joystick throttle for driving the cars. Just an idea.

14.5mm KPV is approaching an automatic cannon both in caliber and firepower, but is still classified as a heavy machinegun. And it also is still a contender.

The up-armored HMMWVs (M1113, M1114, M1116) have okay small arms and airburst protection, but not so good mine and IED protection. Heavy machineguns will perforate them. And of course, direct fire from AT weapons renders them . . . really fucked up.

The Vodnik really is an interesting vehicle; it reminds me of a modular BRDM or Saxon. More the BRDM because of its ability to swim. I think the Vodnik may be propelled by its tires in the water, but not sure.

The HMMWV is able to cross smal streams and what not, thats what the "tube" towards rear of the hood either on the passenger side and the extended muffler is for:

Well if they make the Vodnick amphibious, this requiring a whole new model with a door at the rear.
You might as well go model an armoured humvee.

Sorry for the bump, but what will the devs make the Vodink amphipious in future versions? In the 0.6 open beta, the Vodniks aren't amphibious and this thread was made a little over a year ago. Will the devs make the new model of the Vodnik just for this? Also about having the advantages/disadvantages of each faction's jeep.

It'll happen when they remodel the heavy jeeps.

Which wont happen for a very, very long time.

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
