M1A2 Abrams SEP

To get the script from RHS will be impossible.

They even don't released it, so if we use their own script and release an addon earlier as they do....

You don't need to use theirs. Give a look at this thread:

Anybody working on this ?

Maybe you can use something. Or you can make two abrams, one

with a working MG and the other a normal one.

Since you have two MGs on top, you can make the 7.62 one usable.

Ooooooo MPAT and STAFF really looking forward to having these

And these new tracers too

Shame you can't collaborate with RHS to get this commander MG script

[FerretFangs 0]

Can someone provide some information regarding the MPAT script? How would the game handle MPAT differently than it does HEAT rounds?

That's great, but you can give me a working download link for the script?

@FerretFangs

Just wait for the release and then you'll see.

What I'd like to see is the new XM1028 120mm canister round. The lethal variant is filled with hundreds of tungsten pellets, with an effective range of about 500 meters. It works just like a giant shotgun shell.

Cool Homer, I look very forward to this release, and you probably already know I'm a big fan. I was just looking for a brief description, as I already know what the STAFF is, and how it would perform..

[king homer 1]

You got PM FerretFangs

Should be up for 7 days. Anyway it's a simple attachment script,

modified a little. Also give a look at this page:

http://psyproductions.proboards21.com/index.c....&start=

you can find some useful info and so you can choose if it's worth

it or not.

[king homer 1]

We'll not include the turret MG script, it's to complicated and complex to include this script because there are 2 MGs on the top and we haven't got that much time Maybe we'll update it with the script from RHS if anything from RHS will be released with this script within OFP2 .

Currently I'm working on an XM1028 APAM script for Anti Personel use and hopefully we got some support by raedor with the air burst fuse script for the MPAT shell.

[FerretFangs 0]

Maybe you can the additional MG's in an updated version. And I'm MUCH more interested in the maingun... It's a tank, after all.

Sounds like it's coming together nicely, King Homer.

Good luck with that MPAT fuse script.

will the new M1A2's also get the 3D smoke launcher thingy that I forgot the name of on the sides of the turret?

I think it would actually come out as a stream of pellets with the OFP engine, not a simultaneous impact of pellets. Unless you use the system of that one shotgun addon which used a script to simulate a real shotgun effect. That script stuttered each time it fired on all but the best PCs, so I wonder how a script creating hundreds of pellets at once would work...

I'm just speculating, expecting some script god to come in and call me ignorant and make a sweet addon of this...

the one from the marine assault pack ?

No, this one.

oh, never seen that one

but why not use the system of earl´s shotgun, it doesn´t lag

I like the tanks camo cept for one part,the rear lights,the green around them looks...offplaced.

[FerretFangs 0]

What I've done to more accurately simulate shotguns in OFP, is to play with the config numbers a little. For instance, to simulate a the M1028 APAM canister, I'd make the hit=5-10, indirect hit=5-10, indirectHitRange=50. I'd make the minimum range 50, and the maximum range 1000. Just add a sound effect.

No biggie. No lag.

They're already working.

It uses the standard 'stream of bullets' OFP shotgun system and not the real shotgun simulation. Nice gun though.

[Bobcatt666 0]

Nice to see the tank got a lot of the training and simulation crap removed otherwise one of us real tankers would be forced to hunt you down and proporly school you on the Abrams. Tying you down and reading the full military tech manulas -10 to -35 and lubrication orders, wearing a Bareny the Dinosaur suit in a boring monotone voice till you comit suicide by swallowing and choking on your own tongue.

Kinda funny seeing the MPAT and STAFF are still held back cause the round cost more than the targets its fired at to hit. The SABOT is still overly effective against most enemy tanks the US deals with. Knock down most choppers using the heat round easilly.

[king homer 1]

Maybe STAFF and MPAT are held back..but this is OFP and we can do what we want

Our MPAT and STAFF script is already working...so no new suggestions about that

[mr burns 131]

i have some problems with making the promised preview video because the tracer get´s eaten up by lag as soon as i start fraps, gotta tweak ofp a bit before anything can be done..

all i got to offer is preview screenshot which shows how good the script works:

btw: i got toasted

Is there a planned ETA on the abrams? 'Cos it looks awesome!
