The Tiger: potential replacment for the fugly Vodnik?

Post by **GeZe** » 2007-02-23 04:44

The Tiger (made in Russia, but seeing as most MEC vehicles are Russian, including the vodnik...)

I am drooling right now.

Almost like an H3

The Vodnik is more like a Saxon than a HMMWV or Beijing 2020 in that it's a wheeled APC, and a pretty large one. Yes, the EA/DICE model does not do it justice. To be honest, if a new scout/light transport vehicle is added, I'd rather see it replaced with something old rather than the latest "OMGH4WT" vehicle since I think the MEC would give priority to acquiring the most modern combat vehicles it could afford rather than the most modern logistics vehicles.

Would it be possible to make the vodnik float like it's supposed to?

Yes! I love that vehicle, just never was able to put a name on it!

And if not, we should get a Vodnik re-model along with the HMMWV remodel.

The Vodnik is a beauty compared to the Tiger...

Vanilla doesn't seem to do justice to the Vodnik from the diagram above. Seeing it remodeled would really make it a lot more fun and realistic to drive.

Does look cool, especially the green one with the windows on the side. Those long drives on Jabal do get boring.

The speed on Jeeps in general need to be increased too (and the boost should be infinite, or add a petrol gauge or something - it's not like it's N20, it's just resembling the goon putting his foot down, so it shouldn't be temporary)

Only if it can have a .50 cal ontop though. If it can't, scrap it and remodel the Vod.

That looks cool, and a lot like a hummer as well.

It looks a bit more stylish than a vodnik, now just to mount AA/AT/MG systems on it

China is making there own new modern trucks too, like the BJ2022:

And the EQ2050

A lot of people don't realize that China is modernizing, there Army is getting all kinds of new toys in large numbers now. There Navy is also getting more toys, in particular a new carrier and new Su-33's. There Marines are also getting revamped. And there Air Force is getting some nice new toys too. All in all China is getting a much needed face lift, yet still mods don't portray her in her true glory. Its rather sad. DICE did a horrible job portraying China as the power they are.

Something about Tiger and Vodnik
http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=187574

Vodnik is highly modable so it can have many shapes. i am afraid it would be too much work to model Vodnik properly.

MEC could use some P4 Peugeot, since the Mec need extra mobility to balance the slow Vodniks.

And everyone knows that the French love the sell big guns to every country who wants them.

+1

The "boost" feels silly in it's current state.
