What arrows? 

soldiers inside. driver, gunner in the hatch. the glass "breaks" in the doors, but the bullets do not pass through. the shooter who sits above outside is also immortal. you can't kill anyone sitting inside the gas tiger (I wanted to write to the bug tracker, but the site is not working)

Gotcha. Yeah I forgot the proxies in the fire geometry, I'll fix it ASAP

Thx. please add the ability to view equipment outside the tiger, and not in the cabin. so that you can get things from your equipment from the street.

That should already be possible in the latest dev branch, please try again.

looked. Thank you. but the PK and KORD gunners do not change animation when they are dead.

It is registered in your config, but the gunners  just freeze and that’s it. It’s very inconvenient to understand whether they are alive or not. please correct the animation of the PK and Kord gunners

and is it possible to make the glass a little thicker for the armor? can be shot with one bullet, although tigers have armored glass

Hello, quick question, is it by any chance possible, that we could get a quick remodel on all M1A2SEPv3? Front of the turret uses the counterweights, which are not a thing on SEPv3s, but they lack "flat spots" near the mantlet. Below some pics and a diagram that could help with modeling it correctly (it is like that because the front of the turret is much thicker). If you would need even more pictures, I can make it happen. Have a great day.

Yeah, when I made the model it wasn't out yet and the only pictures I saw had the counterweights on it. 
The turret side brackets are part of the Trophy active-kill IIRC, and I am not sure it is installed on all SEPv3.
I'll see what I can do. No promies though, I am pressed on time.

Greetings everyone - just to check, are there anyone maintaining and updating the CUP line of mods? Aka, Vehicles, units and weapons?

I've got some feedback i'd like to provide regarding the Bell 412 line of helicopters, or more specifically the CH-146 Griffon. 

However, their issue tracker link just provides a 503 "Service Unavailable" error. So, guessing its either that the link is broken - or that they've stopped maintaining these mods? Anyone know?

Our old issue tracker has been retired. We're handling things now over our Discord server:

Thanks a bunch!

Might want to perhaps change that link on the website for your Discord server instead as such 😉

CUPDATE TIME

 

Update 1.18.0 released

 

Could it be true? Or is this an April's Fool joke? No, it's true. We finally released a new CUPDATE. The highlights of this cupdate are:

 

New Factions:

• Armed Forces of Ukraine
• Modern Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

 

New Vehicles: 

• M1151 HMMWV
• GAZ Tigr
• T-90M/MS
• Leopard 1
• Kamaz-6369

 

New Weapons:

• XM8 replacements
• P30L pistol
• S&W Tacical Revolver
• XM29 OICW

 

And, as usual, a whole bunch of bug fixes, improvements, and new bugs!

 

*** IMPORTANT: ACE COMPATIBILITY ***

Starting with this release, ACE Compatibility mods are discontinued, and the ACE compatibility of CUP is directly integrated into ACE itself. We'll remove the ACE compats from the workshop, and you should do the same if you are running a server. In the future, loading ACE will be all that is required to make CUP ACE compatible.

 

We hope you enjoy the new CUPDATE. Rest assured this is NOT the last update, and we hope that the next one will be out sooner than two years.

 

Uploads to the usual places are going on as we speak.

Enjoy!

Dear friends, I am happy to see that this gigantic mod is still active and treated well. From my heart I say thank you for the update.

Lovely, lovely bugs!

 

And big thanks for new Hummvees and Tigrs!

So far I didn't receive any hint about an update on steam. Is the content included in CUP Vehicles, CUP Units or something else?

 

Edit:
Never mind I got it fixed. I rarely had to use the "repair mod" option in the A3 game launcher. I got the new units ingame now.

[CUP 1532]

CUP Hotfix released
CUP Units, Vehicles and Weapons have been updated to 1.18.1. 
We have fixed over 40 issues that cropped up in the 1.18 release.

Get it now.

One thing that bugs me regarding new "Modern Russia" faction: it contains infantry units, tanks, cars and turrets categories, but no APCs and any aircraft. This makes that faction rather handicapped when playing with various dynamic missions that have faction-based spawn scripts (like DRO). In some cases it's possible to choose a secondary faction (so the "legacy" Russia), but then the outcome is randomly generated mish-mash of units from both. Which in practice is not far from just using the legacy Russia as it already contains EMR camo uniforms.

 

I think adding a selection of APCs and aircraft from legacy faction to new one would make it more useful in such instances (and there would be no need to manually change crews in Eden editor too).

Hi, because Discord is blocked in my region, so I leave  some messages here.

1 Currently RSASS is using an ARMA2 type generic reload animation. Since RSASS is a modified version of AR-10 (exclude its charging handle), will it be better to use M110's reload animation on it? Also, its ACE_barrelLength is only 264mm, should switch to 457mm or 559mm.

2 GALIL (556 and 762) is also using an ARMA2 type generic reload animation. should be better to use AKM and AK74's reload animation instead.

3 for the M249 and Minimi, because they are open bolt MGs, so should be ace_overheating_closedBolt = 0.

4 CUP P90 also use ARMA2 reload animation, switch to use  the one from vanilla ADR-97 (SMG_03_black) will be better.

I'm sorry, I would but I'm not a Discord user, so I can't. Hope that's understandable.

 

Anyway, I've noticed that all of the "sniper" scopes in CUP now seem to have canted reticles. I guess that's to simulate scope cant some people introduce when they're unable to have proper position behind the gun, but in such case the reticle would appear "in parallel" to the eye, and the target/enviroment image would appear canted. It's the opposite in CUP, and I don't think (aside maybe for "PiP" scopes) you can achieve proper effect in game. It feels a bit jarring, and contrasts with scopes from vanilla or other mods.

 

Also, regarding CUP scopes when having ACE Scopes (aka miliradian turrets) enabled - since ACE Scopes use same keybinds as vanilla BDC adjustments, it's possible to change both of these simultanously with CUP scopes, leading to completely wrong elevation. I think the issue is that even with ACE loaded and ACE Scopes turned on, CUP scopes still support vanilla BDC change. But, judging from the way ACE themselves set-up vanilla scopes, those systems are not interchangeable, and require vanilla BDC adjustments in config of particular scope to be capped at single setting (usually 100 meters).

Understandable, but unfortuantely this means it depends on my memory wether this gets handled or not, and... well...

That is a feature of CBA, scopes are tilted according to body position. If you are lying on uneven ground, the scope might be tilted.

That would be worth reporting to ACE mod, since they have taken over the ACE Compatibility of CUP.

Ah, I see - the effect is definitely bugged, since I was testing in Arsenal so a perfect flat ground. In fact when lying with gun supported on bipod I'm getting a "negative" tilt! I'll hit up the CBA guys. Guess that's why most of the mods out there don't use CBA animated scopes...

I posted this thread a while ago

. I was trying again to make a new mission using the same vehicles. The LAVs still work fine but the AVP don't. It's a real shame because these vehicles being in the game is very cool but they can't be used for what they are intended. I tried to get on the issue tracker on the CUP.org website but it wouldn't load. This is my attempt at reporting a bug.

dev.cup-arma3.org is no longer online.
The AAV is a tracked vehicle, afaik tracked amphibious vehciles have this problem but it isn't a CUP issue but a game issue. I don't consider it likely that it will be fixed anymore.

[_unit, "HandGrenadeMuzzle"] call BIS_fnc_fire;

The function BIS_fnc_fire, no longer works with CUP hand grenades.  Still works with Arma 3's RGO hand grenade though.

 

EDIT:  Apparently each hand grenade has its own muzzle and I didn't know it.  However, HandGrenadeMuzzle used to fire Cup grenades.

IIRC, that was changed a while ago because previously different types of hand grenade (US, British) were not working correclty.
