Unit Preview : Searcher II UAV (Israeli Radiocontrolled Spy Plane)

Boulboulgadol · Sep 11, 2002

My new "small" project !

An intelligence mini-UAV (unnammed aerial vehicle) that began its service in Israel in 1992, and has since participated in routine security operations in Lebanon. It serves to locate terrorist targets and aids IAF (Israeli Air Force) planes while they carry out their attacks.
In June of 1998, the IAF's Mini-UAV Squadron received improved 'Searcher 2' UAVs. The Searcher 2s have a new engine, a new navigation system and advanced communications systems.

It can be nice to set it up as an only-recon missions plane.
It could have big op range (6-8), but not the radar ability, since it is a small plane with only a camera.

That was piece of cake after the modeling I done on the Merkava

Look at this too.

W.i.n.t.e.r · Sep 11, 2002

Nice and simple- but this is what makes this cutie look good

(darn- I'l have to integrate an Israeli civ after all to employ all of these properly...)

yea. Nice model! You'l have to sweet talk sween32 into doing a leaderhead!

kemal69 · Sep 11, 2002

Speak of the devil, if the king of leaderheads doesn't have time, you can always rely on the god-emporer himself!

Check out Ghengis's work on a Ben Gurion leader for isreal.

Please finish this unit! We need a spy plane because no one has ever made one before. The reason for the low # of responses on this project is because most people don't know how to use a spy plane (by "use" I mean setting it up in the editor).

For everyone, a spy plane is very useful if you give it the following stats/abilities:

air unit
DON'T flag immobile
moves= 10 or so
operational range = 1
flag radar, re-base, recon
If you want it to be vulnerable to enemy jet fighters def=1
If you want it to be immune to enemy jet fighters (they do fly very high which may be beyond effective range of fighters) def=0. Checking hidden nationality is also an option.

How to use it: just move it around using your numpad over land and sea - very useful for watching AI territory and to see fights going on between other AIs. Trust me, its useful and fun.

hey Boulboulgadol very nice, also can you make the civ-specific colors more evident it appears you have it as the very small fan that propells the plane

dannyevilcat · Sep 14, 2002

Yes, like maybe a stripe on each wing, or something.

Cool unit.

I think that you have to check hidden nationality for it to be invulnerable but I could be wrong.

Yup, it is useful and fun and I hope it gets completed soon!

Loving it man! When will this be finished? ETA?

Boulboulgadol · Sep 15, 2002

O sweet webpage ! I just found how to come in back with the alternate web address.

So, this unit is actually finished, I think....

Here is what I got : Default, Run and Death FLC's are done. I don't think we need an Attack one, just because this is a SMALL unarmed plane.

All I need : Some good sounds. I'd need something like a small engine (of a real radiocontrolled plane, for example. Or any better idea !

About the civ specifc color. This unit is so small, I think it simply don't wotrh it. To have something seeable I almost would have to make blue wings !

Plus, this is a SPY plane, so guess !

Unscrachedhands : thanks for the stats ! You're always my best supporter !

Senoj · Sep 15, 2002

I would be willing to make sounds for you Boulboulgadol. Give me a list of what you need and a brief discription of what they should sound like.

Nice Senoj !! You just gain your place in the credits !

Well I think I can't give a better description.
It would be a small-small plane engine, just like the radiocontrolled ones you can buy on a model store.
Then I'd need the same sound getting stopped (death animation) hardly and something to make the wing-break.

Anyway, I just send a full preview to make it easy.

Thanks !

Senoj · Sep 15, 2002

I'm on it!

Senoj · Sep 15, 2002

How's this for the Run? Feel free to comment. I can easily redo it.

Boulboulgadol · Sep 15, 2002

That's good, but maybe still too keroseny.
Maybe we should try an electric engine. Could be better. Have you got that ?

Senoj · Sep 15, 2002

I'll try my best. What's keroseny mean?

I know, I'm french ! My english is not perfect.
I mean it's a too big engine. You can hear it works with kerosene.
I'd need something lighter, like an electric engine.
