Messiah 2 Posted March 22, 2004 x(That's just pointless. why not cooperate, especially seeing as how neither of the versions are completed? we did talk abput co-operation... unfortunaly no mutual agreement could be made and we did indeed start ours first (no, im not starting a 'you stole our idea' flame here)... but with pressure from the community to make british troops first, we decided that our main efforts should be seen on the troops, landies and weapons... after said unit's release, expect a rush of UKF armour (as soon as they are textured)... and... furthermore... there is no problem with having 2 ukf challys... friendly competition only serves to improve each mod's challengers. We do indeed have a ex challenger crew man as an advisor, and hopefully this will help us to create a very accurate challenger 2... as for cammo schemes... the only red desert area UK forces have delpoyed in are areas such as sierra leone = jungle = no tanks... the UK have a stadard camo scheme for desert and woodland warfare (minus SAS pinkies) - the only differences generally seen are between the different batches of the paint... if we were to fight in a red desert area (and Oz is the only large open desert area i can think of) im presuming the MoD would look at new cammo. anyways - great tank by DKM - some brilliant features implemented, some we were looking at too and good to see they are possible  [Edit] lol - you guys using our old infantry beta's to promote your chally? thats quite an honour (although looking at our old marines, i can't believe how ugly they were compared to now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tankieboy 0 Posted March 22, 2004 Just wanted to say I am that ex Chally Crewman and thanks for making this "British" Tank. The more Brit Kit in OFP the better whoever makes it IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Przezdzieblo 0 Posted March 22, 2004 Please make a version with teddy bear http://www.operations.mod.uk/telic/images/ops/challenger_basrah.jpg Challenger 2 look great. Would it be balanced with RH addons or only orginal BIS tanks? For now it is thick as Sigma`s M1A2s but it`s ammo is really weak compared to M829s from M1s pack. Some strange thing with loader... sitting on the turret roof (FPP), piercing through it (internal view from commander`s sit), with no model apeared (external view).

Gen.Carnage 0 Posted March 22, 2004 we deliberately gave it weak ammo, to compensate for the very high rate of fire (with loader on board). So that it is sortof balanced with BIS addons, and can be beaten by black eagle/t80u. Alos, having 4th man onboard means you will have one less barrel in your group, but the 3 barrels have a more powerful striking force than 4 cr2's without loader. p.s. tankieboy, thanks for giving us info's, i forgot to mention you in the readme, but be assured the final version will mention you..:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supah 0 Posted March 22, 2004 Really nice work guys! Love the scripting and the loader idea. Hearing him say "Gun loaded" does add a lot to it. Might i suggest a Merkava 3 as a next project? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mayh3M 0 Posted March 22, 2004 Nice work guys (DKMs) I have a few questions for u: 1) Shall be that tank balanced with RHS Russian tanks? 2) Is that a real crosshair, you've used in gunner's sight? 3) (Off-Top) Pls, remove and remodel you freaky "BE"... it is wrong at all points, including the modelling!

DKM Jaguar 0 Posted March 22, 2004 3) (Off-Top) Pls, remove and remodel you freaky "BE"... it is wrong at all points, including the modelling! Â Now that is unconstructive. Provide information, photos, diagrams, blue prints and then there is a possiblity of action. ATM I think it is fine, and are you aware of how difficult it is to make a tank that only exists as a few prototypes, and isn't even in production? Maybe you know something we don't, in which case you could provide us with information. Also, someone said about crews.. there will be one, as Carnage said. I know this, becuase i am making it.

Rastavovich 0 Posted March 26, 2004 the camo rolls appear randomly on the uparmored versions at mission start, just one of those features ya know... Is there an init line entry to ensure this as its closer to rl. No, it is set with the probability of .5 (it is calculated over the init position of the tank, so it will work aswell in mp games). You can make sure it appears with moving the tank a bit around in missioneditor (1 meter more/less to the north can make the difference). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
