Silent Boats

[Dubieman]

Has a canoe or silent paddle boat been made? Or sailboat?  A canoe or rowboat would be the ultimate in silence yet it would be painfuly slow. Sailboats could be for civvi missions or something....

they have the sampan thing in the seb nam pack
it isnt 100% silent but it is real quiet and painfully slow

It is good but not quite what you'd see floating down the Thames. Who wants civvy boats anyway they got no gunz!
 :gunman:                   :beat:                          ;D

Civvi boats could have the guns on them....

Ever see the spec ops rowboat? With the M60 attached to the bow.... ;D
Just kidding but it might add to atmosphere in the island invasion missions and civvi missions.

Much more silent then the Mark II PBR of course...

id like a nice fishin boat like a tracker bass boat or something with the trolling motor haul up close to where you wanna be then pull up the outboard and engage the trolling motor

Well, mine does... And the Royal Navy ships, I suppose...

Anyway, the closest thing to a small rowing boat or something is Col Klink's Zodiac rubber dingy addon. It comes with two civvy versions, and some blackop ones as well. It's not really silent, but can you imagine how difficult it would be to create rowing boats or sailing boats (driven by the wind!?) in OFP?

Personally, I think there should be more boat addons, now that we have the CoC torpedo addons and the ability to make big multi-gun ships.

Hopefully, soon, we'll have some destroyers/ frigates/ cruisers to play with...  ;D

P.S. - sorry, my mistake. The Zodiacs are RIB's really, not 'rubber dingies'.

HA HA James Bond has guns on his.... and he was in the thames  lol

ok, I was talking about not seeing any Sampans floating down the Thames.
As for no boats on the Thames with guns. Yep that about answers that.

wells theres always HMS Belfast sitting dead in the middle of the thames... although you really dont see many RN ships heading down the thames...

as for silent boats - i think BAS were planning a zodiac with a M4 as a gunner position on the front for seal insertions....

[PsyWarrior]

Well, I saw an MTB on the Thames, once...

No! Must resist... :noo:

Anyway, back on-topic now I think...

AFAIK, Sailing boats would be completely impossible in OFP. You could create a workaround (which would be a silent motorboat with sails), but driving a craft by the wind in OFP would be...rediculously...difficult.

Where did you hear this?? If it's true it's awesome news!!

[Messiah]

i thought it was common knowledge.... it was an idea zooming around the official forums that they said would probaly happen

[Homefry31464]

Oh, I don't check there too much, but I saw a few things today, they're making troops other than Spec Op's apparently.

On Topic:

If you were to make a row boat, don't there have to be new animations?
