Project Reality Forums

I know we have all been asking for it, and just now, I stumbled across a tutorial about those things on the bfeditor.org forums. Anything useful?

Wow, i watched the video of the airstrike, looked pretty cool! But the missile strike looked even better!

OMG that is so cool! That misile strike looks wicked

I like the bomber idea better than a missle strike.

Would be realllly immersive to this game if we could implement this in the way artillery is. Make it a little longer on the request timer, but do about the same damage.

would take the fun out of flying.

i think it would be more realistic if a painted target would put up a target on the pilots HUD, and then the pilot could engage it.

For maps without planes it would be cool.

thats really cool.

Hmm, lets look at the future

Missile strike needs tweaking big time. Those were just side winders they fired! They aced the airpower but the inf was letf intact.

...mongol...

Clusters.. krhm.. KABOOM..

It's cool--but way too unrealistic.

How is that unrealistic?

Targets are painted all the time.

Just a box comes up in the hud.

Yes how's it unrealistic?

The bombs look unrealistic, they fall unrealistically, not only that, but too slow. And on top of that the plane flies way to low.

The bombs just kind of fall out of the plane, 4 of them, and... They just fly down at a 90 degree angle. That makes no sense considering the speed the aircraft is carrying.

I must agree, it looks like a bunch of fun. But, in my opinion, not suited for PR.

Maybe with some editing once they run out of time for anything else to do it would work sweet

interesting Idea. I would love to see an A-10 coming in and dropping cluster bombs or designating a tank and seeing a maverick strike from an A-10...

I'm no coder but I think that someone who is could tweak it enough so that the aircraft makes a dive like an A10 and fire from a higher altitude and stuff that now seems a bit crude.

I think what will eventually be happening is that the painters will put a spot on a target and 'paint' a heat source on it; a plane will lock on to this heat source and drop AT missiles and that.

Just like you can do if you drop an insurgent molotov by a tank.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The Devs are great - godlike, even - and should be able to tweak it to suit PR...

it's only "unrealistic" in the movie because the guy decided to actually show you what we could do. Of course the bomb drops are up to realism par, but that's so you can see it. If you couldnt, it would just look like a single Arty explosion, and what fun would that be?

Seeing a giant a-10 roll in and drop some bombs on some targets is muuuuch more satisfying.
