Danny_S Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 News has been released on the new Arma 3 campaign episode and with it come the two long awaited aircraft for NATO and CSAT. The CSAT aircraft seems to be a typical, fighter style jet while the NATO jet (don't get too excited Raz) is an A-10 variant named the A-164. Along with the jets comes a 6x6 transport truck which is described as "Mine resistant". All 3 vehicles will come with the campaign episode "Win" which is slated for release on March 20th! Assets coming to Dev. branch this week possibly. razgriz33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Still nothing useful for dog fights, they're all pretty much low speed armed to the teeth air to ground combat aircraft. The csat is based on the yak, looks like all other they done to the A10 is skew the tail fins 10 or 15 degrees and made the engine pods more aero by giving them a horizontal ventral fin /elliptical shape and the truck thingy is a copy paste of the hemmtt's with bulky armor plate on the cabs Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 You sound like you were expecting actual innovation in regards to vehicle design Dingo Don't be so optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Might be Mine Resistant, but you accidentally bounce a Kerb and "BIG-BADDA-BOOM-BABY!" insta gibs that make Doom look PG-12 Along with the jets comes a 6x6 transport truck which is described as "Mine resistant".

Dingo Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 That looks like a dolphin eye rather than a warthogs Hope that's a GAU up front with decent sfx, otherwise LJH will be a busy boy again Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 All they had to do was give us a nice interceptor or fighter-bomber for both sides, like an updated F-16 or F/A-18, or even the F-35 for Blufor, and some equivalent of the SU-35. But noooo, we have to get a shittily-modelled A-10 that looks like it should belong in Battlefield 2142, and some terrible kazakh attempt at building a MiG. razgriz33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razgriz33 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I agree with cain, a multirole such as the F35C (CATOBAR version) with a carrier would be an awesome multirole. CSAT could have a SU33 for a multirole CATOBAR with their own CSAT carrier (Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery) These are nice toys BUT what would really be the icing on the cake is a ground supporting aircraft like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cain Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hell, if we had heavy attack aircraft, I'd want a B-52 or an F-117. A wild weasel of some sort would be nice too, for the pesky tigris' and AA units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 ^^ unless it got fixed recently, it can't taxi or take off without being pushed from behind, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Speaking of planes, did any of you see that Mission on Armaholic called 'Dynamic Altis Airports'? Looks awesome! Would definitely add another level of immersion to things like Altis Life. Edit: It kind of dawned on me that linking the mission might be a good idea for those who hadn't seen it http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
