Bergmania 0 Posted December 31, 2003 Nicely modeled and textured... but wrong scale.. it isn't supposed to be as big as an M1a1.. The T12um1 is lower than a standard T-80 Â (and that one is 2.20-2.30m..).. Hehe read in pravda that the T12 was 80cm lower.. but there is no way that it could be that low as the chassi is still a T-80 chassi.. and I don't like that it takes 6 105mm sabots to side of turrent at point blank range before it blows up.. Â Pravda article http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/87/347/9915_tank.html hmm .. I start to be the grumpy old guy in this forum.. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da_ofp_man 0 Posted December 31, 2003 thx DKM mod for this tank!!!realy good addon just 2 litell things: the relode time of main gun is to long and could you do a new sound for MG  but still its  great addon for east that rocks!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bergmania 0 Posted December 31, 2003 The pravda article is so funny.. Quote[/b] ]The Russian tank Black Eagle (object 640) can be seen at military exhibitions from a distance only; its shape is disguised under camouflage net. The tank is very powerful: it weighs 50 tons and the turbine engine is of 1,500 horse-powers. The  Black Eagle is 80 centimeters lower than the new T-80 tank. Hmm power to weigt ratio is nice.. but can you realy take 80 cm of a T-80 ?? Quote[/b] ]The tank's main 125-caliber gun can fire regular shells and guided anti-tank missiles. They are developed by skilled specialists in the Russian city of Tula and can break through armor 1,000 millimeters thick. This means that even the most powerful tank in the West, the Abrams, with front armor of 800 millimeters, won't stand up to Russia's Black Eagle. bla bla bla... Quote[/b] ]The turret of the Russian tank resembles turrets of Western last-generation tanks in size and configuration. It is equipped with built-in dynamic protection covering a sector of 120 degrees, approximately. Dynamic protection units are installed in the front of the roof as well. ERA must be what dynamic protection is .. Quote[/b] ]The tank has a combined sight with a built-in laser ranger that can operate in the daytime, as well as at night. The commander of the tank is provided with a thermal imaging surveillance device. It is not ruled out that information obtained by both devices can further appear on the displays of a commander or a gunner. Hmm I would have thougt that the gunner was in grearter need of the thermal sight.. Quote[/b] ]What the Russian government has to do now is buy the machine for the army. It promises to do so regularly. Priceless..  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes about two shots to take out an abrams with it which is ok, it is VERY hard to destroy for infantry with LAW's though.

Lupus-WD- 0 Posted December 31, 2003 obviously guys from dkm are giving a lot of time and work into their top class addons, i'd like them a lot but... they often look weird under some different light conditions because it seems like they are completely disregarding the face orientations and the shading (edge types or such in o2)... Dont take the comment too bad, it's just sincerely true that it doesnt make justice to the rest of the work put into the addons (models, scripts and skins). i keep the hope that some day some fixed versions of your addons will be released (and btw a lot of other model makers forget a lot about face and edge verifications ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted December 31, 2003 Shit, this is something nice. Now the T-80UE's by Sigma don't have to stand up alone against a whole lotta American Mechanized Forces. AK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericz 0 Posted December 31, 2003 I am not a "tanker" but I just put a platoon of these tanks against 4 BIS M2A2 and they got their a**es handed to them. 2 M2A2s survived the encounter and all T12s got killed. They were about 300 meters apart on Desert Island. I tried this 4 different times and the results were all similar. The speed at which the TOWs fire overwhelm the T12s. Not very scientific test but it sure was fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gen.Carnage 0 Posted December 31, 2003 put 20 M1A1's against 20 T12's , grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the spectacle.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKM 0 Posted December 31, 2003 The only complaint I have Carnage - and I've E-mailed you about it, is that what should be a Russian Federation tank is in Soviet colours. I'm pretty sure that the T-12UM1 came out AFTER 1991, which was the fall of the Soviet Union. And these T-12UM1's get their asses handed to 'em on a shiny silver platter after fighting up Sigma-6's Abhram tanks. I'd love to see updated ammunition with them, other than "Sabot" and "HEAT" rounds. I've already taken a look at inputting the Sigma-6 T-80 rounds in there instead... with some modifications. I'm pretty sure its a differnt type of maingun, but I could be wrong. No major bugs though, just me being a bit of an arse and nitpicking. With those improvements, this'd kick a lot of ass.

blackdog~ 0 Posted December 31, 2003 RHS has a whole thread (over 50 replies) on Sigma's armor and weapon values which we would be glad to share if DKM wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sigma-6 29 Posted December 31, 2003 Quite clear (good job BTW), that this is a 'game balance' rather than a 'realism' addon. my Abrams tanks used as close to real penetration and armour rates as I could find at the time(though I've since updated them to be closer to reality), using the BIS T-72 as a baseline value (400 Armour value = 400mm RHA), and so as a result, they'll wipe the floor with DKM's Black Eagle, which seems to be inexplicably balanced with BIS' 1985 era Abrams. In that vein, if the Black Eagle had to compete with a 1985-era Abrams, the Abrams would have its clock cleaned. . . [Abrams gets no penetration and is killed in one strike.] The Abrams has had quite a few upgrades since then (at least 4), and even so, the Black Eagle is a match for the M1A2 SEP, hands down. That being said, in a campaign or mission where you assume the BIS Abrams is an M1A2 SEP (rather than the 1985 M829 firing M1A1 it is,) this would be somewhere near playable, and as such, this addon kicks ass. I'm the 'realism' over 'game balance' type though. I believe 'game balance' comes from realism. People who prefer 'game balance' often do so because they don't like realistic addons/games which force them to think out their moves. They want to just blast away instead of having to figure out how to kill a target (or avoid it altogether). My preference is to give them as much realism as I can and simply provide the raw deal. Much more fun IMHO. On the other hand though, a realistic Black Eagle would put the onus on the team who made it to provide a realistic M1A2. . . (but just wait. . . BAS is doing it, as many of you know) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
