Raid 18 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) BUG REPORT V1.6 | M2 RoF - Now Properly firing at 635 Rounds/Min. Same RoF as the M2HB. M1A1 Tracks - Now looks a lot better No Ammo - Should be fixed M2 No Reload - Fixed Original Sights - I wen't with the A3 sights as I had problems with the A2 ones. Considering that A3 sights are using smarter code I'm going to keep it that way. However you will notice that the Main Cannon sights are White and the Commanders are Green. This is intentional. You will notice that the main cannon is using Green Hot / Green Black Hot TI and the Commander is using White Hot / Black Hot TI. This way you can see the sights when using thermal. Damage - I didn't touch the hit points on the M1 as I don't really know what to do in this area. I might look into it in the future but as it stands it is using A2's hit points. M2 Iron Sights - Don't know how to accomplish that. I will hopefully get an update out later this week. Just keep posting in issues :) Edited May 14, 2014 by Raid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lala14 135 Posted May 14, 2014 Hey Raid, what happened to the loader seat?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raid 18 Posted May 14, 2014 Hey Raid, what happened to the loader seat?? You are referring to the M1A2 Tusk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lala14 135 Posted May 14, 2014 You are referring to the M1A2 Tusk. Alright I believe you but doing some research shows this Now I'm not saying that it needs to be included, maybe the Australian M1A1 has an autoloader M1A1 in Iraq The M1A1 does not use an auto loader, instead relying on a crewman to load the rounds. M1A1 Veteran Yahoo ID Rawbert An Auto loader has many moving parts, prone to brake. An Auto loader cannot match the speed of a human loader. Also, a 4th person gives the tank more eyes on the battlefield. M1 Abrams, Wikipedia The Abrams uses a manual loader. The fourth tank crew member on the Abrams also provides additional support for maintenance, observation post/listening post (LP/OP) operations, and other tasks. Now I do understand that most of these don't offer much backing behind it so as said I may be incorrect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3949 Posted May 14, 2014 @Lala14 the reason why there is no loader as this is a BIS Model ported by Raid which doesn't have a loader position defined. For realism perhaps it should have one, but for game play it doest break the add-on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raid 18 Posted May 14, 2014 Are there any plans for adding a M1A2 TUSK? At the current moment no. There are animation issues with the M1A2 that I do not know how to fix in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siege-A 4054 Posted May 14, 2014 Excellent work, I can't stress enough how long I have been waiting for this vehicle to be released/ported. Thank you so much. Now, I feel my wishlist is almost complete, just waiting on the arrival of the Bradley and Strykers...and an M1A2. Simply amazing, I guess it's time to start readjusting some missions. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devilslayersbane 28 Posted May 14, 2014 Do you think it would be too much to ask for if I asked for 2035 versions? (i.e. using arma 3 rounds?) I like both Arma 2 and Arma 3 munitions so I'd like to see both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lala14 135 Posted May 16, 2014 alright anyway I'm guessing its a no for loader but my other question, for the commander why does the commander turret move with the main turret when in first person and not when in third, preferably I think it shouldn't move at all, secondly about the radar, when would you fix this or is it not supposed to be there, also sorry for being a ass hole if you do feel like I am being one. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently the M1A1 Commander turret was always able to be controlled when turned in. I'm talking about real life. As for the radar I know what you mean about the NSEW but I don't know how to fix that sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm talking about real life. As for the radar I know what you mean about the NSEW but I don't know how to fix that sorry. Yes I know that the commander turret could be controlled from inside, but I mean you may be aiming at an enemy and then the main turret would move and your aim would go completely off but when your turned out this does not happen. EDIT The system is called CROWS you probably know that but anyway here they are talking about it in wikipedia Probably need to do some research on this. Will come back soonish Edited May 16, 2014 by Lala14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lala14 135 Posted May 16, 2014 I see what you mean... Not sure on how to go about that. Anyway you could take a look at the MBT-52 Kuma config or the T-100 Varsuk since they both also use the commander gun thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fal Soram 10 Posted May 16, 2014 Good stuff! Glad to see such a quick update to it. One request though, in a future update do you think you could increase the coax's ammo count? I'm fairly certain M1A1's carried a lot more then 1200 rounds, although I don't know the exact number. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shep_FR 10 Posted May 16, 2014 I've found this bug : When using Altis Defense Forces, your mod make the other one go to BLUFOR (they are REDFOR normally) and take the name and logo of Australian defense forces. If you could fix this, it will be great !!!!! Appreciate your work !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corporal_lib[br] 396 Posted May 16, 2014 @Shep_FR: it happens ´cus Altis Defense Forces units have the SAME classname as Australian Defence Force (ADF_) so this conflict occurs... I´ve already asked gazillion times the Altis DF mod to change his classname to AlDF or something else, but neither the last patches had this fix, so I just ditched his mod in favor of the much more better worked and best content-wise Australian Defence forces =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Modders, PLEASE: Go to OFPEC and register a tag for yourself. Then, USE THE TAG. People that came before you made this a convention, and it is a good one that totally avoids such a CF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
