I really like your work very much, I'v been a visitor on your site for several times...and your MP / COOP Missions are really great!
(especially "Band of comrades", can't wait to see episode 7 ;-)

Now I saw your Kasapanos-addon and I thougt: Wow! Cool idea!

It's a very nice addon for resistance-kamikaze tank hunter teams ... ;-)


But unfortunately , it seems to be far to big, this throwable satchel charge....looks like it weighs 50 kg...

Please make 'em a little bit smaller, would be very fine...


Do you know the german "Geballte Ladung" they used in world war II?
It was simple, 6 grenade heads fixed 'round one "Stielhandgranate 24".

Could you make an adon for ofp-resistance units of it, too?

Oh Please... ;-)

The throwable satchel was used in by Finnish Army in WWII. It really weights 5 kg, so it is not going to fly very far. OFP handles RL physics rather well. If you do not believe do the following test:

1) take a full 0.33 L soda bottle
2) get a 5 L plastic canister and fill with water
3) go outside
4) throw them both as far as you can
5) measure the distances you could throw them
6) compare the distances in OFP with kasapanos and hand grenade

The actual kasapanos used in WWII could weight up to 10kg. And I believe that the 6 handgrenades tied to one, hardly weight less than 5 kg.

Good point about the size :) But Kasapanos has revealed yet more bugs - it doesn't work in multiplayer at all. Simply doesn't show up in the menu. This is BIS's fault and I hope they enable custom throwable weapons in the future in OFP..

Yap, that would be truly very fine, if Bohemia Interactice would provide very good ideas and addons from the OFP-Fan communtiy much more.... :)

Anyway, the Kasapanos is great fun!
