Nice. Keep up the good work.

I'm making an underwater version of the MXC rifle. Complete with 6.5mm underwater bullets, scope attachments and IR laser or flashlight.
So far got the MXC shooting underwater with all the bullet vortex bubble effects. Just not having luck with the underwater shooting sounds just yet.

On a positive note, lots of plankton and bubbles😅

Noiiice, I'll keep that one in mind :rockon:

Oh, that's a great idea. I did a mission once with a trawler where I made ropes off the end of the trawler going into the water, and the far end of the rope I added an addAction. So you could pick up the end of the rope and swim around with it and attach it to a crate which the trawler then automatically reeled in. It was pretty immersive.

Yea plankton are already in the mish ;-) and agreed they add a tonne to immersion!
Wish we had more vanilla underwater weapons though. It's really like they planned on expanding the underwater stuff, but never did... Maybe not too many folks into it.

You know what's fun too, climbing into a SDV sub and getting a Huron to sling load you out of the water while you're in it hehe. That's how the mish will end haha.

My favorite addition to underwater missions is the plankton effect. It's a subtle effect but really adds a lot to being underwater. You have to add it to your mission manually, but it adds a lot especially if using underwater lights as beams of light will pick up the plankton in the water.

Yep I 100% agree. They've made a complete underwater simulation but really done nothing with it at all.
You can set the wave strength and wind strength/direction. And there's underwater life too, fishies of all sorts everywhere.
Hopefully the coming missions can do the genre some justice 🤞
Should have a proof of concept mission ready by next weekend. If it's enjoyable I plan on doing a whole SEAL series of missions.

I love underwater stuff. Wish BI would unlock the underwater gear access to make it more of an open environment.

Cheers mate, bit of a neglected part of Arma aye. Not much underwater stuff out there, but we got a few missions coming soon.

That's pretty cool.
