[Model] Russian Aircraft Carrier [WIP]

[DankE_SPB]

It doesn't have a hull storage IRL? I wouldn't see why not, especially considering it uses a jump deck, meaning that there is far less parking space. And what would the two edge lifts be used for otherwise? :P (http://i33.tinypic.com/2w6zdw0.jpg).

i think he means room where boats and LAVs parked ingame, not hangar for aircrafts

Shinqui, I like too.

It looks really good so far and just a question, I dont know but it looks kinda short for me is it really possible for a jet to land on that?

just work on the main shape first, once you have done that you can then move onto the details but I wouldn't think about that AA gun until the final stages. I also wouldn't model the other AA missile thingy until the later/final stages as they need to be exported as weapons etc.

Ive had an idea of making parts of the island accessible aswell as areas below the deck. Im not sure wither the Bf2 engine is capable of this, but if I create a carrier level, is there a way to make the 'plates' move up and down allowing an aircraft to start in the hanger and then move up onto the actual strip itself?

I wouldn't waste time on that, not for now at least. Just concentrate on the exterior and just close off the hangers etc for now. If once you have finished it you would like to look into opening up the hangers etc you can do that in a 2nd version, but doing that in your first version is going to dramatically increase the amount of work and delay the time its finished by a long way and as such delay your map's release, which is also going to be super long as it stands without the hangers etc.

This is a big flaw, however there is no reason for us not to change the carrier to accommodate this. (there no harm in bending the truth a little to allow for better game play aye )

no... if you are going to make this carrier you need to make it spot on to what it realistically can do in r/l. Do you see us in PR making any vehicle unrealistically, like adding a troop compartment to the Challenger 2 because it would be good for gameplay?

the "Carrier" in vBF2 is not really a carrier, its a mutt, a cross between a Carrier and an Assault Ship / LPD. This is a true aircraft carrier and as such, its role is to carry aircraft (+ some big ass anti ship missiles).

As mentioned above, you need an Assault Ship like the one Danke has posted here:

Thou what you can get away with for your first release is having everything vehicle wise spawn on the landing beach like I think your planning, and just say there was a Assault Ship out there somewhere that left after landing all its stuff on the beaches or w/e. You can later model it if you wish for a 2nd version.

te that's correct: Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ye it would be easier to do China invading since they have an LPD being modelled (thou currently the project is on hold) but then, China invading Iceland sounds a little far for China to go bypassing many more important targets
