Guess the Object (Sea Skua Anti-Ship Missile)

Post by **Rhino** » 2016-02-06 07:34

First of all, sorry we haven't delivered on the Sea Cat update we said we would but due to the issues with the Master Server being down over the past week (should be sorted really soon btw, keep your eyes open for an official update on the situation!) and also a few gremlins still lurking about in the code, it just hasn't been possible to get all the material together to do that update.

So instead, here is a little something I've been working on for you guys to try and work out what it is, with a special e-cookie for who ever does first!

They tend to have propellers

Damn, was thinking it would take a little longer than that for someone to work out what it is hehe. But yes, spot on and here is your prize, enjoy!

Damn, I knew the answer because I have a poster of "Ships Of The Royal Navy" that includes naval missiles literally right next to my computer, guess I missed my chance

It will be carried by the ship-borne Lynx, correct? I can't think of what it could be used for though, unless the Argentinians are equipped with them too?

hehe, sorry you missed out on your cookie : p

And there are a few clues lying around here and there where you can work out its usage

hehe, well this is just a "high poly model, clay render", which I'm going to use this high poly model to bake the normals off of to the low poly model, that will go ingame, to make it look like it has a lot more detail than the mesh really has, as well as helping to control the smoothing etc.

The low poly model (without baked normals currently), that will go ingame, looks like this right now:

EDIT: here is the LP with HP baked normals on it (needs a few fixes in PS still btw):

This missile is normally seen as blue in r/l, but blue = training round

Ahh almost forgot about the TV-missile used in BF2 attack choppers. I don't think there's anything in PR where the player camera follows a moving "entity".
I'm not saying that it is 'PR material', but it IS a developed mechanic, that hasn't been used yet, ready for the taking.
Does the gunner in any military used weapon system, manually guide a missile via a video feed from it, or was it just made-up in BF2?

Some missiles do use a TV camera on the missile itself that the launching platform can see a feed from during launch, like some versions of the Maverick Missiles:

Is that a JDAM with shark fins?

Is it a smell-seeking bomb?

Nothing like BF2's missiles, but there are some plane-launched bombs/cruise missiles that have TV feedback and allow mid-course updates. For example, SPICE:

Soooo... When and how (on what choppers, factions and what type of guidance) are we going to see this implemented?
