Is that the Fire Support Stryker?

Some tutorial for pontons and tug would be great, IE what car is needed to transport how to attach tug to pontoon and deliver IT

But in short, there's 3 new Stryker Versions. The M1132 Engineer Squad Vehicle (ESV) is designed to transport an Engineer Squad, and has an optional Surface Mine Plow (SMP) used for route clearance. It also has a lane marker system, currently only for show and non-functional. It transports the regular 9 soldiers.

 

The M1134 Anti-Tank Guided Missile Carrier (ATGM) is the one I am super excited about. It has a crew of 4, like a Main Battle Tank. It fires 2 TOW Missiles, and carries a total of 12 rounds of ammunition. It has a full interior and detailed gunners controls, thanks in large part to Reyhard.

 

The last is the M1127 Reconnaissance Vehicle (RV). This variant trades its M151 Common Remote Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) for a flex-mount M2 and LRAS 3 (Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System). This long range optic allows the gunner to mark targets and gain their Grid reference.

 

We have also added a Mk. 19 equipped M1126.

 

We also now have the "classic" M14 service rifle, thanks to Wint3r, in a ton of variants. 

 

Finally, a lot of USAF MRAPs now have a much more advanced night driving assistance screen known as the Driver Vision Enhancer (DVE). We have also improved the M-ATV a lot, with more to come on that. We will also transfer the tech into some other vehicles later.

 

Finally, Reyhard especially put in about 1 billion (technical term) fixes into all factions. Enjoy everyone!

Cheers mate! We decided to do as many variants where we don't need to basically re-model the whole thing. Of these, just the M1131 Fire Support Vehicle and M1130 Command Post are left, but lower priority.

 

The ambulance, mortar carrier, and Mobile Gun System require extensive re-work and are basically a whole new vehicle from the driver's cupola back. So one day, but will take a long time those ones.

Great stuff.

That is very nice indeed. A new standard has been set.

[Realthinged 44]

Thank you for the great update!!!

 

How about shell type switch on russian tanks, is it works now? 

 

[Richards.D 761]

I thought I'd share all the WIPs of these last 3 Strykers. I take an absolute ton of screenshots of WIP for dev purposes, but to this point we've never shared them. The order is kind of reversed lol, it starts with the model basically being done in Susbtance painter. But it gives you a sense of how these are made, especially how we integrate a new stryker part onto the original hull.

 

Enjoy!

Those WIP pictures are really interesting to see, cool to watch the design process. From the mod makers perspective, what are the majour differences, in terms of building the vehicle digitally, between the currently modeled vehicles and the other examples like the ambulance or MGS?

Basically, as you may be able to tell, these 3 just have a few parts deleted. They are still, by large the same exact shape as the M1126. 

 

The MGS, Ambulance and Mortar Carrier all change the hull shape drastically. Basically the hull past the driver's compartment would need to be deleted and re-done, making the project a LOT more time consuming. All of these actually don't change the overall shape very much. Even the M1134, just adds a bunch of stuff on top, basically.

Pretty sure it just clears the temp cache for the builder. Just a funny name, nothing too cool.

Awesome update again guys. Everything top quality! Especially glad to see the addition of the classic M14 in all the juicy variants. I have noticed two things that could be a problem on my end, so i just want to check here with anyone to see if the problem exists with others before entering a bug tracker. I checked the tracker first and could not see anything related to it so this made me wonder...anyway :

 

1. The USAF Mk 14 EBR has been replaced with the fictional "Mk18 ABR" from the vanilla game. I do run a couple of mods that add/change the vanilla Mk 18 ABR so the problem could be here. The correct icon is maintained.

2. The default Socom 16 muzzle device is hidden in first person view. I can change it out with a different muzzle attachment, or remove it and put it back on, but it will remain invisible.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can tell me if this problem is not occurring on their side, and again thanks to RHS team for bringing the best ArmA III content out there, coming from a proud patreon supporter!

First one is definitely caused by some 3rd part mod. Inheritance in config was changed so it would be possible to accommodate older M14 variants in configuration files

I am sure it will be, remember addon making is a hobby, so it will be done when it can be.

Is the T-14 in development? Is it safe to use it in a Player vs Player mission? How can I disable the debug messages and remove the unlimited hardkill?

[zukov 483]

just tried the Striker minutes ago, is a stunning work and finally the right tone of the green (the vanilla Nato vehicles woodland is more like a dark mint). I'm wondering if possible add the same animation to the Bobcat's blade, BIS please take a look

Yes, it's still in development and I don't think it's safe to use it in PvP yet

It’s not RHS, it’s a workshop bug introduced in the latest Steam client update.  It’s affecting other games too.  I found a temporary fix: https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/0/2259060348505287518/

How do you use the surface mine plow (SMP) on the M1132?
