king homer 1 Posted December 28, 2004 Finally, here it is: M1A2 SEP v.1.0 After 2 month hard work and a lot of problems, it's finished for a first release. As you may read in the A&M Discussion thread, we've included a whole bunch of scripts and nice features to the excellent model from Sigma6 edited by Inquisitor. We've tried to make it as realistic, even if it's now not as realistic as without any features. Because of less information about the M1A2 SEP in the Net, we needed to take what we get, so it is maybe not as realistic as some of you think it should be. Because it's late night over here and I'm tired I'll just post the readme for further information. Warning! The MPAT proximity script is only working with manned vehicles. The STAFF script is only activated with clear line of fire to the target. Trees, bushes, houses will interrupt it and the script won't be activated. This is caused due engine limitations. Also the tracers for the maingun and the coax may not be visble while playing OFP on low fps.

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted December 28, 2004 Superb work, I love the tracer effect on the machine gun. Seems to be on par with the T80-UE from Sigmas pack, 2 shots from either to destroy each other, not bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swtx 42 Posted December 28, 2004 Outstanding work gentlemen Just one minor issue to report. Staff rounds will hit enemy armor at their weakest point and do significant damage. Quote[/b] ]"Once the STAFF (Smart Target Activated Fire & Forget) round is fired it begins scanning for a large metal object. As the round passes over the target it fires a explosively formed penetrator through the thin top armor of the target." Source If you ever played M1 Tank Platoon 2 there is a great in-game Staff round, with effects you can look at. It really reflects how deadly these rounds are. Anyway, outstanding job keep'em coming and have a great new year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calm_terror 0 Posted December 28, 2004 the tracers are nice on the main gun rounds but the mg ones are kinda weak. and the tracers disppear once you add infantry. it is ok but i don't liek the MG tracers or the every 4th round tracer.. oh also the gunners sight is in the wrong positions it should be on the right side above the gunner not over the barrel..

TDogg 0 Posted December 28, 2004 Very nice work on this tank and I like how the commander view is like real life and not the default bis one. Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calm_terror 0 Posted December 28, 2004 another thing the scripts seem to turn off when more then 10 vehcials/ infantry on the map. also after awhile the tracer scripts just stop working. it seems a little to script heavy... i think the MG tracer thing should jsut be removed. and try to make it use less scripts.

bonko the sane 2 Posted December 28, 2004 very nice addon, the maingun fireing blast is amazing, it literaly hurts the eyes i like the 4 man crew solution, it makes a lot of sense. on the "bug" side of things, i think the the mg is not zeroed in the optics, it shoots low, so if i zoom in i almost cant see were im hitting. As for the MPAT round...i had a hind hover 200m away and repeatedly shot at it with MPAT, gunner missed, i missed...i was about to quit when a whole load of über lag efects started near the hind, almost 30 seconds after i shot my rounds? what happened? but this is an excellent machine.

The tracers disappear on low fps for better performance, they are generaated with the drop command and if you have low fps, I think under 30fps they'll disappaer. This caused due engine limitations I think. very nice addon, the maingun fireing blast is amazing, it literaly hurts the eyes i like the 4 man crew solution, it makes a lot of sense. on the "bug" side of things, i think the the mg is not zeroed in the optics, it shoots low, so if i zoom in i almost cant see were im hitting.

Maybe you shot with APAM instead of MPAT? I didn't tested it on any mods like Y2K3 or EECP or ECP. But I'll have a look. I'll aslo take a look at the MG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
