Change Big Red model

Post by Menigmand »

I personally don't like the Big Red model. While it's very realistic for insurgents to have a massive bomb truck at their disposal, the candy-apple red American style truck doesn't seem very realistic in a middle eastern theater.

Also, the huge aircraft bomb put on the back seems too cartoonish for my taste.

A more realistic suggestion would be a more regular truck, perhaps with some markings that shows it to be slightly different. (remember: the whole point of a suicide truck is to make it seem harmless until the right moment comes)

Or even better, a cement mixer full of oil saturated fertilizer, as was actually used in an attack on the Baghdad Green Zone.

EA also has around a dump truck that is drivable, which i've seen in other mods... I'd like to see that also.

Yeah there are a few unused vehicle models in vBF2. I think one of them is a dump-truck (one you'd typically find in the Middle East).

They should make a couple different modles foe the bomb vehclies with different bomb strength, and have them spawn randomly so that they good guys dont know wich bomb car is coming next

Take this one. Make it driveable, put Boom-stuff in the back and strap a tarp over it

...oh and lower the suspension.

Ah we used to have that truck back on CP Abbadon. Did you know its more heavily armoured than an M1A1?
The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.

believe me when we say that thing will not die (to the extent you can drive it on water (if jesus was a vehicle he would be the OMG truck)).

i like the idea of the concrete mixed filled with AMFO though.

I don't know about you, but I don't think that dump truck is up to standards with PR's work. But that's just me. :)

It'd require some serious reworking, because it wasn't even complete in vBF2. It was just lying there in the files. :p And can the suspension be adjusted on a model without editing the model? Maybe child wheels could fix it, but it'd still look off in my eye.

Why not just use the model of the Red Cross vehicle from Fallujah, but pack it with explosives on the inside and use that?????

Maybe paint it black too.

Or just remodel the OMG truck and release it with the other factions' new vehicles in 0.9.

Black? Like this?

If so that's the original version from .4 I believe. All the other ones (UN/RedCross) Are re-skinned ones.

Actually using the red cross truck would be a really good idea, dont mean with a black skin i mean how it is. As if your a suicide bomber your going to want to be un suspecting and a Red Cross 4x4 that should be delivering aid but blowing up in your face is the perfect vehicle!

We've already been looking into it. Models take a while to make.

Locking for resuggestion. :)
