M1A2 SEP

[agent556 5]

What im interested in is how much damage would an RPG-16D AT do against an M1A2 SEP IRL?

@mayhem, i recall KH saying that they will not balance the M1A2 vs a T80 and such.

*sniff*

I got beaten up by T-54's and T-55's (RHS)...

OK, they were 20 of them and I was alone...

Though I can't (me commanding, AI gunner) seem to hit much with the DU round. Atleast not then.

Only about 2km of distance, moving, stopped sometimes...

(Again)

Very nice job. Hope to see it soon.

As already mentioned, the problems with the Sabot rounds is caused by a wrong script. With the new version you can hit targets at a distance of 1200m while moving and targets at about more than 2250m while standing.

Can I talk in private about balance with somebody who is in charge in M1A2 project? Please contact me in ICQ or e-mail...

@mayhem,  i recall KH saying that they will not balance the M1A2 vs a T80 and such.

The only people who know that information are the people who design the M1A2 tank along with probably a few experts in the Pentagon who manage tank development programs.

All that is known is that an RPG-7VR penetrated an M1 tank in Iraq, but I'm not sure if that was an M1A1 or A2.

It is probable that the latest RPG-16 variants with tandem warhead rockets might penetrate the side armor. The roof armor of all M1 tanks is also rather vulnerable as well even to regular RPG-7's.

As far as M1A2SEP vs T-80, again nobody really knows. I'm not even sure the Department of Defense knows unless they were able to get ahold of Russian SABOT ammunition to test fire through a captured T-72 tank against an M1A2SEP.

M1A1 tanks were hit on their frontal armor by Iraqi T-72 tanks but that was not a good test because the Iraqi 125mm ammunition was really really poor quality.

Also there is much debate about whether the latest M1A2 120mm ammunition will penetrate the latest Russian T-72/80/90 tanks protected by Kontakt-5 reactive armor.

These matters are unknown.

In OFP, the best thing is to simply try and create some kind of rough balance between T-80's and M1A2's as far as armor and SABOT round lethality goes.

[-HUNTER- 1]

where would I be able to change the ammount of rounds? Could that be implemented, or else Ill just change the config...

So what rounds are for which sort of target???

Anyone who got it plz host it somewhere.I wanna see.

[king homer 1]

Try this one

[Acecombat 0]

cool vid. question though, I put a BMP on the Desert Island map. How far does it have to be in order to activate the STAFF script? I put the BMP 1,006 meters away. STAFF doesn't work. However, at 1,600 meters it works. What's the minimum distance?

Will this new pack get "3D launchers" on the sides? The 2D ones are gettin old and the 3D would look soo much better,by 3D I mean they look like the real thing,not the smooshed against the turret thing.

I'll ask Inquisitor!

Well, in the video you can see the newest version of the script in close range, it'll work now properly from 300m up to 2250m, else the distance between the shell and its target is to small either to large! Remember, the current M1A2 SEP you're using, is out of date :P

Shouldn't the STAFF ammo be able to target enemies from longer range?

Homer very nice work.

Yeah for sure... but remember, do you wanna shoot over half of the island? Engine limitations!!!!

Aside from the limitation there is the "view" I mean if ya can't see it even if the view is set to the highest point (lag city there buddy) so nah,a short distance is best.

that aside it would suck if u were east vs AI west.

you would spawn and be all "alright! lets roll and get some... *BOOM* ok wtf?! who killed me? i dont fu... *BOOM* where is he!?... 20 minutes later and a helo ride "NO EFFING WAY HE COULD SEE ME!"

[Guest [B.B.S.] T_D]

i could easily increase the range to for example 5000m but i think there would be a short delay cause of the script. so 2250m is a good compromise.

T_D a nice compromise

[-HUNTER- 1]

but those ranges are insane... What about something that just goes BANG where you point it...?

[LTCWarpig 0]

not sure if you guys could work this in some how but. the real M1A1 has a auto range button for the gunner he lazes the taget and the gun auto figures the balistics to get to the taget even on moving tagets. It tells you what line to use to hit the target. I think you retical needs to change I would get you a pic of the actual reticla but its classified.
