No dust wave effect for modern tanks?

[xy20032004 0]

I use ace, acex, gl4 mods, and now with the new Invasion 1944 mod. One thing I noticed in I44 mod is that when a WWII tank fires the cannon, a dust wave will rise on the ground which makes the firing so real. But for those modern tanks, t90,t72,m1, there is no such effect, I can only see gun flash and some smoke.

Can someone show me how to enable the dust wave effect for all tanks? Or at least which "class cfg...", " Event....." to modify???

In ArmA2 there was dustwave effect but in OA is disabled for some weird reason

Maybe the ACE mod got that effect

Yeah, now that its mentioned i notice its gone, when testing i knew somethign was missing but somehow i didnt notice it was the shockdust.

Hey BIS we want this back in the next patch please. :)

Wish it was back in!

The dust wave and recoil mising are definatly related to the tank firing it's main gun from the coax (have a look carefully and you'll see it fire instead of the main gun).

I made a ticket about it a while ago and I'm currently going through the files in my free time looking for a resolution.

WTF? Why did that change? And who did this?

The change came with Operation arrowhead and might be cause by the rewriting the units .cfg for the new OA features. Unfortunately such "changes" tend to persist very long in BIS games...just look at the M16 M203, or the Skoda cars, its an old OFP model.

I'm a bit stuck on this one since I have no real experience in Arma file structure, does anyone know where the configs for the various vehicle ammos are kept?

I've been looking at the vehicle's configs and they only reference to their weapons elsewhere.
