LCAC

[Boommelonshot]

I got an idea for another addition to the game! The LCAC Landing Craft Air Cushion. It can be used to transport vehicles or even tanks! It would be perfect for maps like gulf of Oman or Zatar Wetlands so that the marines can have tanks and hummers at there disposal. Just have the LCAC spawn next to the carrier at the beginning of the map and someone can drive it up to shore and BAM you got a tank, Hummer, Anti Air, etc. Landing Craft, Air Cushion - Navy Ships theres a link for ya!

The LCAC is in the BF2 files IIRC, but it doesn't work properly and the BF2 engine does not allow vehicles on vehicles, meaning the tanks and stuff would explode when the LCAC would start to move.

why not have it prepackaged in the LCAL and when you get near the shore hit some button and have them just appear like a supply box out of a com truck!

Heres a though:

The Craft would be a vehicle, just like your average BF2 amphibious APC(for simplicity).
The storage holds would have a realistic load out of vehicles, such as an M1A2.
However, this would not be a vehicle; this would not be a static; neither would it be part of the model.

It would be a giant, sticky C4.
This would allow, without the BF2 problem of vehicle on vehicle crime, vehicles to be carried by one another.


But whats the point? If you cant use the damn vehicles, then is there a point to the whole project?

Well, yes.

Once the driver/copilot feels it is necessary to release the cargo, then they would left click.
The response would be that, these giant, sticky C4 vehicles would dissapear, only to be replaced by real PR vehicles; much like spawning a supply crate from a CO truck (like mentioned).

Considering the pilot has stopped the ship, i think it'd probably be alright for the vehicles to spend a little time grinding against one another.
Ofcourse, if the pilot is going too fast and releases the cargo, the result would be your average BF2, two-vehicle collision and explosion.
But is that not realistic? If you drove an M1A2 through the bay-doors of a carrier-craft, would it not sink?

Now, all i need is a Dev to tell me it's not possible

they keep talking about putting a spawnable vehicle on the chinook...why not the LCAC?

but it would take ages for ppl to realise that standing on said LCAC = death...so it probably isn'ta good idea

It wouldn't take ages. Your average BF2 player may not be a genious, but he's smart enough to realize that the LCAC is a vehicle, and standing on moving vehicle = pancake.

You would be surprised... lol but they had these on JO, and they pwned the shizzle!

sometime ago a FH2 dev posted a changelong of the next FH2 version , in that changelong there was a material change that made no damage to players , people asked what was that and the FH2 dev answered that it was the material that all the LCVP will have , so players could stand on them without taking damage .

I don't see why you can't have a special button to pin a vehicle on another vehicle is the bf2 engine so bad that it can't even support this?

I keep getting the feeling that the PR community is trying to polish a truck load of **** into a shiny working humvee
