Can't modify official vehicle configs

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

I've tried multiple times to modify the configs of the Panther, the Slammer UP, and the Wipeout but my changes never work. I copy parts of the script that I need into my own config.cpp but it is never over written. When I do it with weapons, however it works fine.

What I've tried doing:

• Change names of Slammer UP, Wipeout, and Panther
  
• Change Slammer UP cannon to 120mm
  

Please help ASAP!

try setting requiredAddons; the game is likely loading your mod prior to the official one, which is why its written over:

class CfgPatches {
   class myMod {
       requiredAddons[] = { "A3_Armor_F", "A3_Armor_F_EPC_MBT_01"};

....

those are just two i had used while changing the names for the Slammer and Panther; i didn't check which addon the wipeout* is from.

meant wipeout, not panther
