Yes its slower to put a marker on a map but its way more realistic
And you can get good with practice
Yup
I won't be touching the gameplay mechanics initially anyway
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.
Im also really against a playable G6 but ill leave that one for later
😉 If I were not to include a G6 I'd be begged at every opportunity to add one trust me on that.
It'll only be available on large enough maps. It's artillery range won't be as it is in reality
Yeah but its not gonna work like it should
And is it only gonna be a driver and gunner?
Thats way unrealistic
It has a crew of 6-7
When they add commander role just call it 155 G6 arty strike
Itl be way too op as a in map unit
I'd imagine that the final version would need 6-7 man squad to operate it. Manual reloading etc
Then you take 6-7 guys off the line
And manual loading is nice and all but its hella boring
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
In SQUAD right now not every squad has a vehicle of its own.
Yeah we'll speak balance and that shit down the line
Just my two cents for now
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
Also SADF vehicles can fit in more troops - Buffel can fit 11 people in it including driver
Yeah but they are also a rolling resupply point for the rest of the squad
maximum amount of players per squad right now is 9?
And the squad sizes are gonna have to be gyppo'd
Yeah only9
Are you going to add swatf?
Yup
Or koevoet?
Ah ok
SWATF, Koevoet, 32 Battalion, 61 Mech and so on
Cause the casspir wasnt by sadf in the bush war
I know
Yes cool
Ratels and buffels baby
Cant wait
😉 same here... I wish it was done already. I wish I was far better at modding and modeling than I am at the moment
if you can you should add the ability to tie dead swapo onto the casspir wheel wells
But we all start from somewhere
