Is it a soviet B-10 recoilless gun ? (seen here : http://www.soft.net.uk/entrinet/tactics7a.htm )
People wanted mortars, they will have recoilless guns, and recoilless guns are much better in OFP  
(straight balistic trajectory instead inefficient arc or parabolic trajectory).
Please tell us more about this weapon

I just textured the thing and making a working P3d out of it. Evis did the modeling.... hmmmm... Evis want to comment on this?

This is some info I found... not exactly the model were using, but I'm sure there are many different kinds of RR's the VC and NVA used.

I'm going to try and make a US version as well. Also a shoulder fired 57mm RR.

[STO_blackbird]

you all gonna make a vietnam era PBR, like with a 50cal or 2, a recoilless rifle, and some even had a honeywell 40mm gatling gun.  just a thought for you Vietnam boys

[ebud]

Not possible to make that. The one in game would have had more weapons if it were possible. Early Screenshots of OFP had the PBR with multiple weapons.

[Eviscerator]

its modelled from some very low detail shots of the US m20/chicom type 56 75mm recoilless rifle, so basically the aiming and firing pieces are made up, but other than that the mount and shape fit the M20/chicom type 56

"Couldn't you make an installer EXE type thing.....isn't that smaller than a ZIP?"

some people are very wary of .exe's so i dont think that would be a solution without scaring off a lot of people wanting to download it...


the shot i used:



but looking at it, its either the angle of the shot or ive made the end piece a bit too long...if its not the angle ill edit it or leave it as a generic static recoilless

Will we being seeing some gooks on bicylces now?   any plans for this?

then as i said by using the special operations guys that come with the pack you could make them, im sure as they used m16/m203's they would also have used AR-15 carbines and the XM-148(also in the pack), so you will be able to create a pretty diversely armed group and as they wouldnt have worn insignia they will work fine, (also the FN FAL in resistance will work for making slightly more genuine aussie sas)

Why would it scare people off?

Depending on how smaller it makes the pack i think its worth it...

For instance i'd be scared off by a 40mb download!

because a .exe could be anything, double click it and it could be a virus, at least with a zip you can extract and see that its an actual pbo, and the download probably will be much closer to 40mb than 20mb(maybe over 40), it will be split up into sections though, and if you think about it, its not that big for the amount of new units/vehicles/weapons you will get, and its free!! mods with a lot less addons and a lot less work gone into them are thinking of charging for it!!

[ebud]

For me, the file size should be irrelevant. Face it, if you want the units, you'll DL them regardless of size. I appreciate the plight of the unfortunate folks on 56k connections, but to make all of the things needed in the pack, it has to be huge.

An exe from a reputable site should not be a problem, but that's yet to be thought out.

With this pack, you'll be getting at least, if not more units ( ground and air ) as many as that came with the game, many of them higher quality than the in-game units.... because we could focus on the units and not the gameplay.

Everyday it gets bigger and bigger and understandably the release date gets farther and farther away

The light at the end of the tunnel is much much brighter though.

[Eviscerator]

and what a pretty light

[imemyself]

Are exe's smaller?  I don't think a self installer would really drive many people away-its a pretty well known addon so its not like people wouldn't know who made it or anything.
