Stratos Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 After seeing the infantry on the Boxer hatches I wonder If we will see same guys manning the M113 and Humvees MG and TOWs?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 In the long run, yes. But not immediately. Getting all the infantry in the proper locations and to animate them with reasonable quality costs a lot of time - or needs tools and methods that we still have to buy and/or develop ourselves. Sprites are so much easier. They look like shit and nobody expects them to do anything fancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Give me a half dozen of those vulcan D-10's, and set my friend up here with the whole shmear. Ya know, clubs, bags, shoes, gloves, shirt, pants. Hey, orange balls, I'll have a box of those, gimme a box of those naked lady tees, gimme two of those, gimme six of those. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted November 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 I always said that the 3D characters were just the beginning of a much longer project of updating the looks of SB Pro (and to increase its functionality in the field of asymmetrical conflicts).Of course we'll continue to try and keep it up to date with respect to symmetrical combat scenarios, as I am quite confident that the current emphasis on counter-insurgency etc. in training is probably at an extreme, or maybe even beyond it. Conventional conflicts will make a return into the focus of army training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenny Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So this assymetric training its just a "fashion" then? Yeah, just like those accursed breach loading rifles!

Members Ssnake Posted November 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 So this assymetric training its just a "fashion" then? No... but the extreme, almost exclusive focus on it in training will recede once that the current operations end. I'm not saying that it is a passing fad. But armies are beginning to realize that the extreme manpower demands of two simultaneous deployments over the course of a decade result in capability losses in the field of conventional, high intensity combat. So it's somewhat inevitable that the pendulum will swing back at some point, if it hasn't already begun to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So this assymetric training its just a "fashion" then? Sort of. Its all part of the balance between training for "The" war (the mess you are currently in) compared to "A" war (the generic skill set which can be applied to any threat). The Pendulum swings back and forth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Can we crew the motorcycle with a civilian? Glad to see its finally got a character on it, was a bit weird before (in SB Pro) when it moved around by itself. Oh and the "Layout / Sort order Fairy" seems to have struck again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted November 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Can we crew the motorcycle with a civilian? Not yet, but it's on the agenda. ...in other words, you'll have to pre-test it before the beta test after this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 TOW works better.Yer but wheres the skill in that.to make it even more fun i am going to try it in the T72In saying that i have trouble hitting a building at 1000m.ha i should set up a online range and give it a try.it would give all the m1 and leopard hot shot gunners a taste of humble pie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratos Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Is possible to add those trucks, cars, ambulandes, motorcycles as static objects? Just to add something to the cities to improve the look of them they should be ignored as targets for both friendly and enemy AI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
