Aircraft Carriers in PR

[AnThRaX-NL]

Hey guys I was just checking youtube when I suddenly came across this video:

Now im wondering what the hell this is, it sure doesn't look like PR.. more like regular BF2 but the name suggest it is PR. Ive searched the forums for "carrier" but I couldnt find anything about people working on this?

Edit: I cant seem to make the video work.. so here is the link.

that would be Combineds Arms, a minimod for pr that tries to make advances on the engine by themselves. this is them testing a carrier lauch system on the iron gator carrier.

[Tarranauha200]

I think he is just testing it on bf2 before making it for pr.

*Mods should sticky how to embed a video on these forums.*

When embedding YouTube videos on this forum using the tags, you don't need the entire URL address.

You only need the characters after the equals sign.

I'll use your first video as an example. You'll only need to put the following boldfaced characters into the tags:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[b]hemm6tJAVzg[/b]

So the correct format for embedding YouTube videos on this forum would look something similar to this:

[ YOUTUBE]hemm6tJAVzg[ /YOUTUBE]

Note: You'll need to remove the spaces inside the YouTube tags, otherwise the video will not embed properly. I merely used the spaces to give you an example of how it should look without the video actually embedding.

Here's what your properly embedded video looks like:

As for the carrier, that is actually the enter-able vBF2:SF carrier from the map, Iron Gator.

Edit: I swear no one had responded when I posted my reply...

That's actually BF2 Special Forces you see there. Have no idea why its got "PR" in the name of the video since its got nothing to do with PR...

CA Did the same thing with also making catapults, arrest wires etc.

[Outlawz7]

Yeah check the video description?

Just testing a few ideas for PR.

And comments

This is from Combined Arms A mod for PR. And i think its great.

No, it is not. I had filmed this/thought of the idea way before CA did. I think they even put this in CA because of me.

[motherdear]

sorry for that, looked through the start of the video and assumed, withdrawing that statement after a proper slap on my fingers

[AnThRaX-NL]

Thanks everyone!

Speaking of that catapult: YouTube - Sniperdog14's Channel

Also i thought it was impossible/not allowed to change the engine or is it just really hard?

[Outlawz7]

That depends on how that was actually done.

[Rhino]

the catapults are not done by an engine.... they are done by a force object.

Basically lots of implosions that send the aircraft hurtling off the front of the carrier.

[AnThRaX-NL]

the catapults are not done by an engine.... they are done by a force object.

Like a invisible "explosion" behind the jet that doesnt cause damage but gives it a hard punch?

Edit: I didnt see ur edit before I placed my post sorry..!

[Rudd]

iirc this used hte negative explosion method to suck stuff rather than blow stuff?

[AnThRaX-NL]

Is that because if theres a plane waiting behind the one thats being launched it will be fired backwards into the carrier wall or can that explosion be faced in one direction like a claymore?

QOTY

would it be possible to add it to PR?

[Elektro]

would it be possible to add it to PR?

Combined Arms was a minimod for PR so yes.



However, if the R-Dev team don't think it's needed then you wont see it in PR.

[Wh33lman]

theres a video somewhere where somebody sut up an M4 to "fire" these catapults. they loaded up desert rats and started sending tanks every which way.

YouTube - Combined Arms: Behind the Scenes
and look at that, it was sniperdogs all along

Fusion, the devs can correct me if im wrong, but the reason there is a PR and a CA is because there was a disagreement over the direction the mod should take. Combined Arms focus is more on vehical combat, whereas PR is more based on infantry combat. i think there are a few things that have come out of CA and into PR(flare effects for one), but your not going to see many more.

It isn't excatly realistic to be putting CATOBAR (ie, catapults and arrest wires, + CATOBAR aircraft) on a STOVL Carrier

[Elektro]

A man can dream, but one day Rhino, one day we will get our hands on a perfect Nimitz carrier.

screw the Nimitz, bring in the Kitty Hawk. seeing as PR is World War III and the Kitty Hawk was mothballed not too long ago, it wouldnt be unrealistic.

so your saying we should make a completely retired class of aircraft carrier because PR is based in the future? That makes no seance what so ever you do realize?

If anything (if we where going to be making a new US carrier, which there is tbh very little point) we should be making the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier (aka, Nimitz mk2) as that is coming into service in the not to distant future (~2015) although there will still be many more Nimitz class floating about and will be for some time.
