Not only the germans get a new “tin-opener” but the serbians, too. It is an old friend out of the BF:V times: the “Bumbar”

Soldiercoding:

The first announcement is about the tuning of the soldiers. Nightmare is working on a system which allows us to put different types of armor to the soldiers. For example a sniper will have less bodyarmor than an assault soldier who is fighting directly at the frontline. The running speed and stamina of each class will be overworked too so that an anti-tank guy doesn’t have as much stamina like a special forces troop. We hope that this can be finished for upcoming 0.25 release of OPK…
The Bumbar:

This anti-tank-weapon is a replica of the french ERYX-system. In the game we will have it as an stationary weapon but also the portable version will be implemented as a construction set with whom enemy konvois con be destroyed out of bets cover. Already in BF:V many people liked this variant of the Bumbar.

A third possibility is propably a version which has to be build up with sandbags. This option is in testing at the moment.

The mostly feared by serbian tankdrivers in the long history of OPK is the portable anti-tank-weapon MILAN 2.

We hope you all made it good to the new year. Our first update in 2008 gives you a foretaste to the content of the version 0.25. After the next news we will provide you some fresh pictures out of the game. The work on new content goes on, but of course new motivated helpers are always welcome!

Already in the BFV-Version we had the MILAN (french: Missile d’Infanterie léger antichar) ingame. It was developed in the 70s under german-french cooperation. Since 1984 the lightweightest ground to ground wire controlled weapon of the 2. generation is in the use of the Bundeswehr. The control unit in this version is equipped with a thermal vision. The Gunner only needs to point the crosshairs at the target and the wire guided missile will follow these instructions until it hits the target. In the meantime the MILAN is used by over 40 countries throughout the world. The last important usage was the fight of the Israelis in the fight against the Hisbollah in the Libanon.

In future the MILAN will be used as a stationary defensive postion, vehicle-mounted and especially we want to put them ingame as a portable version in a special kit which is very rare an the battlefield.
Model and skin were made by Terp (BWMod) and Metalchris (BWMod). Our coder starforce is responsible for the installation in our mod.

The last point for today is that we want to announce a small advance. Tass, our phytoncoder, had had a very good idea to use our maps in many ways. We hope to be able to present you some maps in different vehicle equipment and gamemodes. For example there are supplyline and another new gamemode which is receiving his specialities at the moment. But before we can release this we will have to check this through. But we hope that its ready when we want to release the 0.25 version…

We discussed a long time to get a solution and decide that this kind of weapon is useful. We took a look around and checked many weapons who are produced by the Zastava Arms Company. we found the M72 with a large magazine. The M72 will replace the M84 machinegun in the basic class.Our coder nightmare is working on the balance between the different weapons. Every weapon should get an own feeling. So it´s important for us that the community can feel the difference between the light and heavy machine guns.

At the moment our daily business is to get the final settings for the classes and weapons for OPK 0.25. Be sure you will get first ingame impressions of these weapons soon!

The OPK team

Thanks to several direct link providers there are a number of links available from our files page including a torrent link. As more links become available, we will update the page. Please note that due to the size of the mod, we have split the download into 2 parts, the core and the levels. You will need to download and install both to run the mod.

Read The Rest….

Well gang, another news post is upon us! Since we’ve been showing you guys all the neat helicopters to be flying the skies of the EoD mod. We thought it was time for us to introduce you to, “Sandy”, our A-1H SkyRaider. This aircraft can be used for multiple roles. From support of troop insertions to defense of key positions on the battlefield.

The A-1H Skyraider was adopted by the USAF, from the US Navy as they were retired from service use aboard carriers in favor of Jet Aircraft. The USAF used the Skyraider as a ground support/attack aircraft. It was also commony used as a helicopter escort in support of troop insertions and extractions.

The A-1H Skyraider was designed and built at the end of WWII. It was used throughout the Korean conflict and later found a home in Vietnam. The versatility of the design enabled the “Sandy” multiple roles in the fierce combat in the skies over Vietnam. Our “Sandy” is very well armed and equiped to deal with these threats in support of the troops in the jungle. Armament consists of Rockeye Iron Bombs, Napalm Canisters, 2.75in FFAR Rockets and four 20MM cannon.

Affectionately known also as “Able Dog”, the Douglas AD series attacker was one of the most welcomed machines among the US Navy and USMC pilots and ground crews. Its sturdy construction and reliable mechanism allowed the dog to withstand even the toughest battles. Many pilots were able to sustain heavy damage and still make it home.

In addition to the USAF colors of our A-1H Skyraider. It is also available in Navy Colors. (More on this later.) Well gang, there you have it. Another news post in regards to things to be found in EoD.

Stay tuned as there is yet more to aviation goodness to come!
