krycek 349 Posted January 15, 2004 Great add-on Sigma,I've tried it with a few BIS T80s(poor bastards),last words in a T80: "Abrams,4 o'clock" One thing though,am I wrong but the Abrams turret is shorter in you're pack?It's ok to be like that?? Because of modders like you and many others I keep playing OFP. Just a small off-topic question:anyone knows where to find some retextured BMP 1&2 and a Shilka??

Try them against the old T-80's Sig released, should be a more even match. We used to host them but no anymore since RHS took them over, maybe theyu can host the old pack till the new ones come out.

Tannethal 0 Posted January 18, 2004 @sigma6: Sorry if i dig up an old dog, but didn't read the thread from the beginning again. There seems to be a geo lod problem with the M1A11985nato. from the drivers optics view (not interior) some models like trees and houses disappear when you turn the tank with the turret facing 12 o'clock. Otherwise as stated before, it's a great pack! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red oct 2 Posted January 19, 2004 thats probaly a common bug that i don't think can be fixed, i've notice that tends to happen w/ bis vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Przezdzieblo 0 Posted January 22, 2004 There was no comment, so maybe this time would: for me T90/M1A2 ammo is still too strong when those tanks facing each other. BM32 probably cannot penetrate M1A2 front turret armour, M829E3 would have problem with even ~800 RHA of T90`s front turret armout too. Maybe this is a good time to think about some balance, before new tank packs Sigma-6`s armour system compatible will come... P.S. Another thing. Ballistic of 2A46M looks better than 120 mm Rheinmetall. Both guns are comparable, there would not be any percetible difference, but there is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironsight 1 Posted January 22, 2004 These tanks are made pretty realistic since the M1A1's really are invinceble but this is not only the machine itself, but also the level on how the M1A1 crew has been trained Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bucket man 2 Posted January 23, 2004 Is there a way to remove effects that come with the tanks? I mean explosions and fires. I am using GMR mod and when these tanks exlpode there is no sound and it lags because there is two fires and smoke. Same thing with BAS Black Hawks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only advantage the M1A1 has is it's tracking system, however this is inferior to the system used in the Challenger II and Leapord Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus it's not just the tanks themselves, when an M1A1/2 goes into battle, it has a number of soldiers supporting it, Apache gunships, Bradleys and not to mention other tanks and an air bombardment that probably preceeded the attack. So if there was something more than ashes and smoldering bodies left after that, then I guess the defenders might have a .05% chance of taking one out. Also, who cares if an M1A1 gets taken out? It's just a machine, as long as the crew makes it out, you can stick them in a new tank and you're good to go. Not to mention pretty much everytime you hear about an M1 get disabled the crew is able to escape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed the m1a1 survives in Iraq becuase of other supporting elements be it other combat units, but its also intelligence and well trained crew, and example I can give is US pilots they for arguments sake use aircraft which are slightly inferior to the newer russian aircraft but they can easily win becuase they study their tactics and are well trained.

Przezdzieblo 0 Posted January 25, 2004 Cloney, with a little better ammo than Iraqis really had (early 70`s) their fire would be more efficient. I heard about seven American M1A1`s hit by T72 (one or more times), in most cases direct hit with newer projectile than BM12 would cause real "Abramscide" (in day fight when both side see each other).
