What's up with Ballistic Addon Studios

[Ferret Fangs]

I do appreciate the attention to detail, and the excellence that BAS strives to acheive- but in real life, if you can seat 12 men in a MH-60, then I want 12 men in the bird.
I'm not ranting here... I just want realism.
It does make a big difference, in mission design.

[Wires]

I thought it was 10 not 12 men. I suppose it all depends on configuration and the kit the troops are carryin'

Says 10 there anyway but that's the Aussie version so it may differ.

Well that is how many guys are designed to fit in there but you could fit more, I know Ranger Chalks are 12 man teams the name Chalk comes from writing the Squad's number on the Chopper with Chalk, and Regular US Infantry Squads are 12 man as well, it's like a Car, "Can comfortably seat 7 full sized adults" when for example the Chevy Suburban you could fit hundreds of people in there cause they are HUGE!!! but the comercials say 7, but that's just my 2 cents

A DAP has room for 6 soldiers (not counting the crew).

[DeadMeatXM2]

yup, thats true max, and i have managed to get the cargo number up to 10, but until we make new anims (IF we make new anims, that is all your gonna get, but it still does the work of 2 and a half Littlebirds....

Too bad I didn't get involved in this thread earlier since I have a contact that...err...knows lots about 160th SOAR and its choppers...Too bad he's on vacation right now... And when he returns he will go away again too...err... I've probably said too much already :-X

hey how did u guys get the guy to sit on the side of the halo like that and the motobikes comming out of it???

[DeadMeatXM2]

well, we've included some custom animations, as well as a new roadway lod, and some simple srcipting...

basically you can get in the back of the heli, and run around, simply by walking up the ramp (when its open...)

the script simply keeps you in the heli when it takes off and flies around...

so hold on a week or 2 and you WILL be able to play around with this... ;D

[registered_fugitiv]

OH SWEET
so then it is gona be semi possible to sniper out of halos ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oi Oi Oi  

[Chomps]

Would I be able to, let's say, drive a small jeep into the back of the Chinook, close the ramp and have the Chinook pick me up and fly me somewhere?

[BoNeCoLLeCToR]

Yeah would it be possible what chomps said I would to know too

[registered_fugitiv]
