Yes its slower to put a marker on a map but its way more realistic

2019-10-06 11:43:04 UTC  

And you can get good with practice

2019-10-06 11:43:15 UTC  

Yup

2019-10-06 11:44:27 UTC  

I won't be touching the gameplay mechanics initially anyway

2019-10-06 11:45:00 UTC  

Just custom maps and factions then we'll have a look at what can be changed or added or removed to better suit the theme of the mod.

2019-10-06 11:47:08 UTC  

Im also really against a playable G6 but ill leave that one for later

2019-10-06 11:47:54 UTC  

😉 If I were not to include a G6 I'd be begged at every opportunity to add one trust me on that.

2019-10-06 11:48:28 UTC  

It'll only be available on large enough maps. It's artillery range won't be as it is in reality

2019-10-06 11:48:38 UTC  

Yeah but its not gonna work like it should

2019-10-06 11:48:56 UTC  

And is it only gonna be a driver and gunner?

2019-10-06 11:49:04 UTC  

Thats way unrealistic

2019-10-06 11:49:16 UTC  

It has a crew of 6-7

2019-10-06 11:49:41 UTC  

When they add commander role just call it 155 G6 arty strike

2019-10-06 11:50:01 UTC  

Itl be way too op as a in map unit

2019-10-06 11:50:51 UTC  

I'd imagine that the final version would need 6-7 man squad to operate it. Manual reloading etc

2019-10-06 11:51:25 UTC  

Then you take 6-7 guys off the line

2019-10-06 11:51:40 UTC  

And manual loading is nice and all but its hella boring

2019-10-06 11:52:14 UTC  

That's where 100 player servers come in.

The mod will desperately need 100 player servers due to the nature of the combat in that conflict involving mechanized infantry. Every squad had its own vehicle

2019-10-06 11:52:25 UTC  

In SQUAD right now not every squad has a vehicle of its own.

2019-10-06 11:52:54 UTC  

Yeah we'll speak balance and that shit down the line

2019-10-06 11:53:02 UTC  

Yup

2019-10-06 11:53:23 UTC  

Just my two cents for now

2019-10-06 11:53:51 UTC  

Either way though there has to be more players. As minimum two players of your squad would be operating your squad's ratel. Same with the buffel, one in the driver's seat and one on the gpmg

2019-10-06 11:54:33 UTC  

Also SADF vehicles can fit in more troops - Buffel can fit 11 people in it including driver

2019-10-06 11:54:48 UTC  

Yeah but they are also a rolling resupply point for the rest of the squad

2019-10-06 11:54:48 UTC  

maximum amount of players per squad right now is 9?

2019-10-06 11:55:04 UTC  

And the squad sizes are gonna have to be gyppo'd

2019-10-06 11:55:18 UTC  

Yeah only9

2019-10-06 11:55:44 UTC  

Are you going to add swatf?

2019-10-06 11:55:48 UTC  

Yup

2019-10-06 11:55:51 UTC  

Or koevoet?

2019-10-06 11:55:55 UTC  

Ah ok

2019-10-06 11:56:02 UTC  

SWATF, Koevoet, 32 Battalion, 61 Mech and so on

2019-10-06 11:56:18 UTC  

Cause the casspir wasnt by sadf in the bush war

2019-10-06 11:56:22 UTC  

I know

2019-10-06 11:56:27 UTC  

Yes cool

2019-10-06 11:56:39 UTC  

Ratels and buffels baby

2019-10-06 11:56:42 UTC  

Cant wait

2019-10-06 11:57:11 UTC  

😉 same here... I wish it was done already. I wish I was far better at modding and modeling than I am at the moment

2019-10-06 11:57:19 UTC  

if you can you should add the ability to tie dead swapo onto the casspir wheel wells

2019-10-06 11:57:19 UTC  

But we all start from somewhere
