New model and animations for artillery

[R-COM]HangMan · 07-09-2009, 02:24 AM

Not a fan of the vBf2 arty as it is totally unrealistic. If it were modified to use a model like the player controlled arty in EOD then it wouldnt have to be hidden all the time (i havent seen it in PR yet). The animation for it currently is simply a joke. Would like to see sum good arty guns for JDAM.

Just a suggestion

.... Umm.... Well, they only use the artillery piece as it is needed in order for them to be able to have area attacks. And the Jdam munition is aircraft borne, not fired from some artillery piece.
Besides, the area attacks are supposed to be off map support. Having an artillery battery within 1-2 km of the target area generally isn't a good idea.
Basically the reason that they hide the artillery pieces is due to several reasons, the biggest of which I would say is that it's supposed to be off map support and an artillery cannon firing a Jdam doesn't make much sense.

The arty piece is present on every map that gets an area attack. IRL JDAM's are air dropped but that's not how the game works.

If you look hard enough, you'll find them. They're always out of bounds, but if you manage to blow it up, they lose their area attack

Did this once on Archer for shits and giggles.

this gave me the idea of...

is it possible to make them invisible? like remove the texture maybe, just so they wont be visable any more?

don't worry about it, it works as it is.

though the AT guns could use a recoil animation.
