cannons towing?
« on: 02-04-2009, 21:04:24 »
i noticed that one could move some of the field guns in the game - a really fun option, but is it possible for lets say, jeeps to tow those guns? so defense positions will be a more dynamic thing?

There are a lot of fun things that the BF2 engine is preventing.  ;)

Fastropes are the window-deployed MGs of PR.

This is something I would have loved to have in FH2, imagine towing a Morris quad with 2 trailers, releasing them where needed - total awesome.



I'm sure it must be possible, a coder just needs to think outside the square ;)

well it is not impossible but very unpractical
ctz worked some magic and attached a hand carrier to a kübelwagen. the results were  quite good however if you go cross country or to fast, break to fast or any other harsh movement will result in an explosion of both things, the vehicles towing and the towed thing. it just didnt worked out.

Well.. Towing the guns not possible but placing them on something is. SdKfz 7 anyone?  :)

I love it too. If only we had it with Normandy camo in 2.2, dreams are beautiful. This Area Is Forbidden For Dreamcrushers! Tresspassers Have Been Warned!

We could even have it on Leibsey.  I remember the map that someone posted of the battlefield, and there was a comment on one of the roads about mobile 88s.  More mobile AT/AA guns!

i don't think we need more mobile AT guns - though the AT rifle is useless - you can fire at a tank for hours and nothing will happen to it, but i was more thinking about dynamic defense lines :)
