Vehicules

[Wormattack]

Hey there, Ive been wondering (and i'm sure i'm not the first) if it's possible to make ''drivable'' vehicules such as the motorcycle or the US army trucks that would be insane! Also, if its possible to mod vehicules, is anyone interested to make a tank?!? I mean, in Fallout 3, the brother hood of steel ultimate weapon was a giant robot that rapes everything with his lazzor beams but i found that very OP and not realistic so instead they should have repaired tanks but i'm suprised i havent seen one yet...Imagine the NCR having that would be so awesome!

If you look there's already a thread on this it's just not on the first page.

well, i have seen several mods that add drivable vehicles, mostly in FO3

there was the hover-chair (which was also made for NV), there were motorcycles, there was the Chimera tanks like in OA (operation Anchorage), and there were probably others i have no idea about

 

if i recall, there is also a hover-board mods for NV

didn't get to try any of these out, but always like the concepts behind them

 

the thing about the NCR using tanks, i don't think that it really makes sense

i mean, if you go to Ceaser's camp, you can find only one Howitzer cannon (at least i can only remember one of them there) and only a few others in the Boomers' territory, and i am sure that Howitzers are way easier to maintain that tanks

besides, if the NCR have tanks, the Legion should also have something to fit, and also the army of the Strip (Mr House or Yes Man or your army)

otherwise, it will just destroy the balance of the game

 

somehow, i really doubt that such a project will be done soon

i know that our best minds are now working on some of the amazing projects (like FWE, MMM and similar projects)

but if there are people who think that they can do such a thing, than who will stop them??

i think that we will all bless them for attempting such a project, and hope to get an amazing mod as a result

Mmm okay i understand maybe not for the NCR but just like in general, we could set up a quest to repair Pre-war tanks (not the chimera, in my opinion it doesnt fit too well in the fallout lore plus, this tanks looks like high-tech, very expansive so i doubt it could be a valuable replacement for the good ol'tank). And the location could be like an abandonned hangar in Area 51. Also,about the balance of the game, the first faction to have a howitzer automatically wins because it provides long range support and can destroy ennemy positions in a matter of seconds and i think a tank would be better because first of all, howitzers arent necesserally better than tanks cuz howitzers provide long range support and do very well against exposed areas (like the desert) but is weaker in urban combat (ex:fiend territory, new vegas,hoover dam) and the tank provides the short range support so it would be ideal in urban combat. Secondly, the tanks are more versatile than artilerry because it can have mounted machine guns, destroy specific targets with its main canon, deploy smoke screens,flares, protect friendly troops for ennemy fire and also, the psycological factor i mean imagine the ennemy seeing that piece of metal destroying everything in its path for the first time of their life, they would be frightened (at least me :) oh but anyway, i just want to sell out my idea :tongue:

[WastelandAssassin]

that is fine, you can sell your idea as much as you want

it is actually a good thing, to see someone so enthusiastic about his idea

 

if i remember correctly, there was one a tank model uploaded to the FO3 Nexus (i think i remember an Abrams tank models and textures, but that was a long time ago, so need to check to verify)

 

if there is indeed a tank model that could be used, then maybe you could use it in a quest (if you can get permissions to use the model, of course :))

 

now, i don't doubt the dominance of tanks

i'm just saying that you should probably maintain the balance of the game, so you can't just make one faction a power house, while the other factions flee in terror (well, you can do this, but i think that many people will be against such an idea)

 

as for using a tank on the Hoover dam, i really doubt how doable this will be

aside from the fact that a tank is really heavy, and with the shaky state of the Hoover dam, it might not hold too well

also, if you have done the fight there, than you should probably recall two things

the first is the sand bags, which will block the way of the tank (and you don't want to remove these) but even more importantly, there are the towers, and a tank just won't be able to drive through them (now, i might be wrong on the tower part, i can't recall if the dam has one long stretch of land, or if it is indeed made of parts separated by towers, it's been long since i played that fight....... :biggrin:)

 

but believe me, i would love to see a good quest mod, and if it is one about technology, all the better

i thought that the few BoS quests were way too few and short, and so a quest for tanks and such could solve the problem :)

[Wormattack]

I thought like it could be Patton tanks with a Fallout touch, that could be great cuz they were produced exactly in the era of fallout (the 50's) and dont know maybe you could have a quest which you can repair one in a museum, that would be sweet and yea u may be right about the hoover dam but get the idea right? I had an idea like to create YOUR faction, like rebuild the US army but that would be impossible to mod such a quest but i dont know like you could have this quest to repair the old tank with each faction

 

 

[WastelandAssassin]

actually, i think you might be able to make a quest to create your own faction

you won't be able to actually use it in the end game battle (at least not in the normal way) because that would require making a whole new main quest line, which would probably be far too much to be done

 

as for the Patton tanks, i love the old WWII era military devices (anything from the smallest pistol, to the largest aircraft carrier) so i really love the old tanks (though WWII tanks are more like Shermans, not Pattons)

the problem with that is that i don't know of any model like this existing

so that would require the making of such a model, which is a task for a great modeler (it looks WAY too complicated a project for just anyone)

but i would love to be surprised, and see such a model ready for use :)

[Wormattack]

Man, that would be sooooo coooollll cuz rebuilding the US army could be great cuz you already have a few models like the US army trucks, vertibird, b-29,howitzers and patton/sherman tanks (if by any miracle of god it could be created) Also i saw an interesting power armor mod here : http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38090 and it looks pretty good! (althought i cant install this mod cuz it doesnt work)

 

 

 

We have already many things we could use like the tents, radio stations, aircrafts (mc carran airport) so if by any chance a skilled modder is interested in this im here to provide all the help except modding cuz i suk a lot :tongue:

Given any thought to how much of the map terrain is totally unsuitable for heavy armor. House sized boulders, mountains of rubble and just plain mountains!

Good luck anyway.

[Wormattack]

No, there are PLENTY of places to go with the tank but a tank isnt a 4x4 all terrain machine either. All around new vegas is fine and same with the highways :)
