Title: Tank carrier
Post by: Hartza on 23 Aug 2002, 09:52:41

Has anybody seen vehicle capable to carry an tank or an Higgins boat ?

Vehicle like http://katalog.ssm.gov.tr/english/0830e.htm (http://katalog.ssm.gov.tr/english/0830e.htm) this

By the way this site is great source for those who are making addons. There are hundreds of pictures of different military things ...

It would be good if you could find something that did that.

Not just a vehicle but a ship to do this would be useful for landing missions too.

A Real LST Should Do that I think, But the LST in OFP is just a Large Slow Target (LST get it? ;D) Why not Load up a LST with a Tank (in the cpp or something?).

It should't been impossible, because I saw an bus driveing along a road in one intro when you open OFP game ...

I think it is easy to do some modifications using that bus as "template"...

I mean, easy for those who can use those 3D modeling sofwares  ;D

By the way, I found a picture that probably most resembles the LST in OFP.  http://www.lbfcu.org/traversecounty/modernlst.jpg

I know this is off topic but I want to say my Grandfather served on an LST on D-Day in WWII

my grandfather was in the first wave of rangers that climbed point du hoc during operation overlord.  if you guys dont know what im talking about, there were supposedly a huge artillery battery at a cliff called point du hoc that overlooked the beaches of normandy.  the rangers were sent in, had to climb the cliffs using ropes, under withering fire and hand grenades, had to clear overlapping defences of mg nests, bunkers, and trenches, only to find that the gun batterys were replaced with telephone poles....  :'(
