Light Strike Vehicle, General Dynamics Flyer 72, Polaris DAGOR. | Forums

[FerroMortem]

The addition of an LSV (Light Strike Vehicle) that the player could call in could add some new interesting ways to play the game given the options for armament on such vehicles would mean a fire team would have substantial standoff capability and firepower on offer.

Here is a link to give an Idea/overview of what a Flyer 60 LSV is like.

Oh yea! Make mine the 19! Unless it's the usually UBI castrated mounted weapon!

In real life if they missed you by a foot........................you'd still die!

[FerroMortem]

Yeah, that minigun is scaled pretty poorly and performs badly to boot. My hope would be that a new one like the GAU 19 in .50 BMG could remedy both those things.

....yeah, the ones in game seem like they're chambered in .177 like my old Red Ryder.

[FerroMortem]

The Same drop off as a Red Ryder too...

haha.... no joke.

....Funny enough, the studio/company that made the promotional CGI trailers actually paid attention to detail and got the scaling of the Dillion Aero M134 minigun, and closer to the actual Fire Rate/RPM. Linked below is a couple of shots where the CGI team got the scaling right of the M134.

[sarcasm] What? You don't get that same feeling from the ones in game? [sarcasm]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll send the suggestion for LSVs along to the team. Looks like you could do a fair bit of damage with these.

[FerroMortem]

Thanks for the consideration.

Yeah it definitly can do a fair bit of dammage, was pretty shocked to see the LRV variant was fitted with a 30mm chaingun on it thought that one might be a litle overkill (to say the least) though....

If not added in this game I hope it makes it into the next game (as well as a helicopter to carry one in it)
