tflash Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Do we have a Russian APC in Lockon that can swimm through small river or brooklet? I'm planning some Su-25 missions involving armoured assault, and unfortunately when you push through terrain often a colmn just halts at a river. there is not always a bridge nearby. I thought a BTR-70 could swim through shallow waters IRL? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Geier Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 IRL every Russian arm vechicle is "swimmable". BMP, BTR, BMD have this ability even in open see.
arthuro12 Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 No they cant swim :( kinda weird.. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Geier Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 No they cant swim :( kinda weird.. In real life can, But here in LO - unfortunately no(
Vekkinho Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 If you want APCs to cross the river simply make "off road" waypoints. I played one COOP mission some time ago, the objective was to destroy the bridge in order to stop the advance of those APCs. We did it on time but the problem was the "off road" waypoint those vehicles had. When a conwoy reached that bridge they simply turned away from the road and crossed the river! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
tflash Posted August 31, 2008 Author Posted August 31, 2008 That doesn't seem to work. I did have waypoints as "off road". [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I've never been able to make vehicles do that. Any time they get to water, they stop. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
Vekkinho Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 ^^^^^^ Now I'm not really sure anymore! Perhaps the terrain texture from the map we played had painted river, not the real one! Or maybe there's a difference in size of the rivers vehicles can cross! I'll try it when I install LOFC 1.12a again, I haven't played LOFC for over a month as I had moBo failure! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Pity that BTR-70 can't cross river in game :S Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
