PR v0.92 Preview - CSB - Close Support Bridges

[xraidedlok]

crazy i was just reading this on the manual havnt seen it before

[GTAFREAK999]

Whats The Maps That Have The CSB?

[muitocomplicado]

@GTAFREAK999 most maps have them.

[GTAFREAK999]

@muitocomplicado Which American Maps Have Them? And Which Map is This?

[rockyson990]

Yeah, im sure no ones gonna like or want to use this unless theres a map that needs you to. Very venerable to RPGs and small arms fire.

[snoox895]

PR trucks.. are insanly fast...

[dudewtf740]

Can you pack them back up?

[silentkillz96]

This might be difficult also, remember, you need to be going pretty slow for the second part and youre pretty exposed to RPG's and shit like that.

[stiksoldier]

theres gonna be alot of logi truck sunk trying to do this, looks awsome tho

[MooseHunter911]

thats gonna be a massive target for RPG and Ieds :) more fun for bothsides! :D:D

[Macebeard]

Looks awesome!

[windbreaker14]

one mine ruins it all :D

[Kolashov]

looks lame.

big fan of the game though

[dunem666]

yeah as you said it is buggy, i tested it out with foxholes and the CSB vanishes if the foxhole does also, i think the devs should spend more time on the Chinook winch system to carry light vehicles, there a lot of content to look at that doesnt do much, its nice to see the logi trucks have an extra purpose now :) forget i said anything about any repo, even tho i dont leak stuff I kinda keep my nose out of it unless im really intregued by something :)

[dunem666]

does this work placing unbuilt foxholes either side?

[muitocomplicado]

@dunem666 read the post in the description, and no, they are pre-defined locations setup by the mapper. The bit of dirt on each side is just a visual cue where they can be placed.

[dunem666]

@muitocomplicado lol, im fully aware of the game physics thank you very much, the bridge positioning object can easily be added as a deployable objects... btw.. foxholes do work... i check on the repo.

[muitocomplicado]

@dunem666 if you are talking about using unbuilt foxholes as a fake bridge, that is very buggy and gamey. This is a better system and can cross much larger distances with combined sets of bridges segments, not just a simple one like in the video.

And what repo are you talking about?

[Greatherlorre]

Hey i think when i lead squads now on al basrah instead of defending the VCP, i think il just go and defend one of the big bridges instead. Might be a viable tactic so that you dont have to use the quite dangerous to drive over CSB.

[Christhegenius1]

That is frickin class

[ICHM97]

maybe a bridge layer vehicle would be better

[Damecos]

@ICHM97 There aren't enough players in a server to justify dedicated bridge laying vehicles, besides it'd require a ton of work to create them for every faction.

[M3G4G0TH]

how do you place that small sand thingy before placing the bridge?

[muitocomplicado]

@M3G4G0TH read the highlight post linked in the description, they are pre-placed by mappers.

[M3G4G0TH]

@muitocomplicado yeah im sorry, after watching the vid. i went to the forums and saw that, jesus christ, its gonna be a lot of work to set up all the "could be here"-positions...

so there are going to be thousands of those white-sand bases all over the rivers/ditches? guess its also better for cover. will it cost performance?

[rcvideogamer]

looks like a lot of bugs to come and i don't see the need in making another version so soon after.still looking toward battlefield Vietnam.

[Damecos]

@rcvideogamer That's a terrible attitude towards mod development.

[rcvideogamer]

@Damecos but i still look forward to BF PR Vietnam so not that terrible.just think theres a lot more different things that could be much cooler.

[windbreaker14]

seems unnecessary 

[GLAXxan]

@windbreaker14 i dont think so

[windbreaker14]

@GLAXxan needs upgrades to the Insurgency rather than US/UK side...more weaponry, I mean not having WWII guns, then it would even out the battlefield

[GLAXxan]

@windbreaker14 hmm.. yea i agree with that :) but "insurgents" in real life are probably using these weapons..

(well i haven't been in afganistan or something.. just what i saw in the movies :))

[Wooboo]

@GLAXxan I have seen photographs of weapons recovered from Iraqi Insurgents and Taliban, and among them are Lee-Enfields, Mosin Nagants, PPSh-41's, PTRD's and others.

Generally speaking, these guys use whatever they can get their hands on. I would not be shocked if they had a few Crimean War-era weapons.

[Phenixtri]

@Wooboo They also can easily get there hands on AKs & some FN FALs vis the black market its not hard 

[deylemki]

Could we use this in Karbala? i mean the wide river of Karbala... And also same thing about Al Basrah at D8-E8 wide bridges?

[Projectreality1]

thats nice

[theirondreamerbg]

Sweet DB...

[FriedNugget]

kewl

[miisterstuff]

Cool, but I can see a lot of bugs coming from this

[Zimmerh90]

@miisterstuff How? its nothing more then deploying a FOB, Crate or any other support weapon you deploy.

[spenceriguess]

AWESOME!!!

but where are the fast ropes from black hawks hitler is still hella pissed! :P

[Kerian23]

Im not one to talk about balance, or how such an addition to the gameplay could be balanced, but i have to assume that the final version of this will take longer and be far more noticeable with assets needing to be in place to protect the truck while its deploying a bridge to get across which means drawing more attention to the location. Will be interesting to see how and where something like this gets used, and hope that it does not get abused.

[magicstorm1]

this makes ambush on key bridges really useless

[ricochetVendetta]

wow looks so neat

[ashchetum]

That really cool! Can't wait until release. I dabble in python also.

[Reedible]

Nice

[Hardmetal1993]

awesome

[DevilDog36th]

this should make basrah MUCH more exciting! nice!

[waylay00]

Nice!
