...And other Brown Water boats.
View attachment 80835 I was looking high and low for the original thread, and could not find it, or remember who started it; terribly sorry for cluttering up the server. I got interested in the MIKE boats and river monitors, and putting around the Mekong with the OH-6 and some AI Carriers riverine forces is challenging. I hacked out an improved LCM-8. Its got a place holder helideck while I round up some information and doodle up armament for a proper Vietnam era river monitor and an LST, which seemed to be the ubiquitous mothership for the whole Brown Water Navy. The LST is actually a riot, as I can drive it up to the beach with AICarrier,drive the AAV up the ramp, turn the LST off the beach and putt away up the river, and beach later or swim off and on. It would be interesting in multi-player as the entire tank deck and top deck is accessible by user vehicles, though the tank deck to top deck is pretty steep- might have to fudge that one in the interest of usability. The LST just has her hull, doors and tankdeck -the hard part- roughed in, but it works well. Anyway. This is a somewhat better MIKE boat than the previous doodle. Just chuck away the old one and replace it with this one. The titles and speeds are all the same as the last, so your AICarriers configs are still good, but double check any way. Its a bit over size as well, but I like flying -47's and -53's off it.
