Suicide motorbike bomb

[JohnnyTheIED]

Simple, easy and realistic.

Some VBIED motorbike bombs have been found to hold up to 150 lbs + of explosives in afghanistan.

One could easily put the car bomb code on a bike, maybe lower the blast a little.

I think it would make for a much more realistic look on taliban maps, better then having big red on archer for exemple.

One skilled with free time could also make a new boldy bike model (overpacked like you see over there all the time), with a switch on the handles.

Just a suggestion

Someone has been playing C&C generals

Nice idea thb

[Adetter]

And also the motorbikes could be not so spinny.
My brother gots a motorbike like that,he says its easier in IRL than in PR.

I think this idea could work if the bomb bikes are slowed down a lot. 150lb of explosives + person = slower bike. Also, not to be a ****, but can you source the claim?

If this does make it in it should have a nuch smaller explosion than the bomb car since realistically, you'll probably only strap an arty shell or similar explosive on it. There fore it should take about 3 of them to destroy an APC and about 6 or 7 for a tank. To counter for their weak power, they could have a low respawn time (Like about 5 minutes) or have twice as many of them than bomb cars.

i support this idea. good luck jonnietheied iv played in a squad with you before you were awesome and realistic.

Well, Thanks I try to be as realistic as possible, although I do have myself some of those "Rambo moments" lol

Yes, Well first for the bike, The 150 lbs was just an exemple, I wouldnt want it to be a little nuke either. I think if a slower bike, then definitly just little less then car bomb. But if it behaves like a normal bike (say 30-50 pounds of high explosives in the side bags) it should be half a car's damage, if not less. I cant tell really without testing. Plus in PR a motorbike is pretty fn LOUD and easy to shoot.. so it should still have some range I think..

As for fact, I do not remember if it was british or australian troops, but they seized a suicide bomber before he could detonate and described the bike. Said it had around 158 lbs of high explosives on the frame, and a small det. switch on the handle. Was in the news though many saw it.

I'll try to find the story it wasn't long ago.

EDIT: There you go

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... worry.html

"Sergeant Noel Connolly rugby-tackled a suicide bomber pushing a motorbike packed with more than 150lb of deadly explosives."

"The Taliban fanatic had been pushing the bike towards Sgt Connolly's Army base when the Marine ordered him to stop and saw a telltale toggle switch attached to the handlebars."

Looks like indeed the bike was too heavy and failed, terry had to push it to the base and was too greedy to go off outside FOB lol... Maybe 50 pounds of explosives? Yea lets go with that for our model. lol

I remember when IEDs could still stick to stuff, people would put them on bikes all the time. They were really, really overpowered because the bikes are a tiny, really fast, hard to hit target.

Yea but the new bikes are different. They are loud as hell, easy to shoot the driver and passenger cant drive by... I think making a few bikes bombs would re-equillibrate things for the bike transport, as it would scare more the soldiers who hear it nearby. Instead of running out in the middle of the street and shooting at it KNOWING it cant do shet for defense.Which is I think everyone will agree, not realistic...

Not to shoot down all your ideas JohnnyTheIED just this idea won't be added.

There was once a time where you could do Ied dirt bikes it was way overpowered and unrealistic in the way the dirt bike in game works. [Edit] One 50 cal round to a dirt bike would stop it / disable it to where you couldn't drive it any more in real life if it was a full hit.

So they stopped the Ied bikes and removed it they may re add them some day when they can get them to act as they would in real life but as for right now they are Over powered .

Sorry to shoot down another idea of yours man but this is a re suggestion.

Its not in the already suggested list, im not suggesting to re-assign sticky ieds.

You'd have to have made a point in other suggestions i've made to "shoot it down" again, But thanks for your totally negative and unconstructive remark, travis, again.

Please stay away from my new threads, you didn't even answer the last one where you got pointed wrong.

You're obviously just around here to deceive any pro-insurgent suggestion and destroy threads... Very un-needed in a forum asking for people's ideas. You're not the dev team Travis, You don't decide nothing around here.

People don't need to endure your negativity when they suggest their ideas. I've seen you at work even on other people's threads here.

i would really like to see this in-game. on fallujah west we only get one bomb car to deal

with four APCs. Even if they wouldn't do a lot of damage, it would keep them from just

sitting and camping the caches like they normally do.

Yes, I would love even if they could just hurt a track or scare apcs.

A bike like that would be mostly useful on infantry, with a blast radius big but not strong enought to kill tanks or apcs, something like a frag bomb.

Something that would destroy a hummvee if right next to it, but only hurt it half dmg if its at a couple meters. (in-game say 5 footsteps or something like that)

[R.J.Travis]

This makes no sense.

In the first paragraph, you say the bikes were underpowered because one .50 cal round would stop a bike.

In the second paragraph, you say IED bikes won't be added because they are overpowered.

your right sorry was a typo I fixed you should be able to under stand it now I hope (:.

In game they can take a burst of 50cal rounds in real life one round would do so much dmg to the fram and the impact of the round would knock you off.


@JohnnyTheIED I'm sorry you feel this way I have been nothing but nice to you in my reply's to your threads.

This won't be added in tell the [R-DEV]s can fix the dirt bikes to act in a more real life manner if at all. In my opinion.

Oh and to the guy asking for this on fallujah west I would like to see the Insurgences given 1 more bomb car and 2 more techs on that map.

Ok guys you all need to calm down, be nice to each other.
