gulredrel Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hello, just set a mission with different amphibious vehicles. The ones with windows, there's water inside the cabin, when they are floating through water. See screens attached. I'n on stable build DCS/2.5.5.35461 TPz Fuchs BRDM-2 Sa-8 Sa-9 (same as BRDM-2, cause it's same chassis I think) Regards Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 20, 2020 ED Team Share Posted January 20, 2020 Reported Some of the vehicles close their hatches once in the water but I agree it does not look nice. thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

gulredrel Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks for watching. Definitely low prio, but I'm anxious about the Sa-8 and Fuchs drivers who have to sit in the water getting a cold :megalol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick50 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Well, in fairness to ED, that's probably what it'd look like after 20 minutes in a river!! i vaguely recall the class when we talked about river fording preparations to take an M-113 into the water... and we concluded that it was best avoided if at all possible!! We had to have X number of sandbags as ballast, I think to compensate for the weight of the engine/trans up front. We had to have a whole bunch of grease to put on the rear door and rear ramp seals (probably other places too but I don't recall). We had to test the bilge pump, or risk losing the vehicle. Make sure the front board was secured because otherwise moving at all would push water right up into the driver's hatch! And we could not be full combat weight either, as the damn thing would either roll over and sink... or just sink! So maybe full fuel, the 50 and some ammo cans... but all our rucksacks, food and such? Nope, that had to go separate AFAIK. And after all that, you were dependent on the tracks actually moving you through the water, so it was gonna take a while. Oh and that meant you had to have the rubber side skirts in place or the tracks weren't gonna move you at all. I'm sure there was more to it than that, but yea... on my course we never bothered to take them into the river! Not that I wanna rain on anyone's parade, because yea those screens do look a wee bit silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
