M1A2 SEP v.2.0

[king homer 1]

Good moring lads, we proudly present the final version of our tank:

M1A2 SEP v.2.0

After another 3 month of hard work we're back with our brand new old tank

We have fixed a lot of scripts, removed old ones and added some new. Also some new effects and 2 new tanks are included.

The tank should be full multiplayer compatible now and should be bugfree too .

But I need to say:

We didn't include the Commander MG Script as promised. I'm sorry about this but we couldn't get it working due the strict engine limitations, even after 2 intensive month of work. I'd like to thank Kenji from RHS mod for his great help and support with this. Also I'd like to thank T_D who tried his best.

For everyone who didn't understand :

This tank will NOT feature a working tank commander MG. So please don't ask any question about it. NO questioning about including this script in any updates or other addons.

For further information I'll post the Readme:

Don't talk about crappy day.

While I was happy sketching my first ever texture map I heard my TV blow up & burn behind my back.

[dm 9]

Fantastic work guys, love it.

Only ONE problem tho. The gunners optics are on the right hand side of the turret, but the memory point still has it over the barrel.

Other than that minor point, this baby is sweet and hell it works fine as it is.

(Just keep a note for IF you update again )

Nice work lads

[sv5000 127]

One word fellahs

GEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks lads for the hardwork

Again me jejeje,,,Anyone have a mirror in Http...Please...

Excellent!

problem with the STAFF round. Gunner wont lock with it. Confirmed this at 900m. Even as gunner I cant get the Staff to work. I get the box when I lock on a target but the diamond wont come up with STAFF round. It does with all other rounds.

Now on the other hand what is nerve racking is if you are in a BMP up against this tank. and you can see that 120mm tracer come right for your forehead just before you explode. Yikes.

Does this still kill t-80 from one shot?

[gunterlund 0]

took me 4 to take out sigmas t80

[Bobcatt666 0]

Well having spent a few hours with these puppies, took a couple of platoons in a large scale mission. going against some od Sigmas armored unots out a 2000 meters was an intersting battle to say the last, notiticed the AI again bail out the minute the track is hit. Even if there are support units nearby for repairs. gunners are able to achive better ability of hitting thier targets now at range.

But chicken AI you end up becoming dissmounted infantry farily quickly in a armored battle. I think the armored velues are a little too low still, on frontal shot from a M84 shouldn't smoke the tank.

Hot, hotter, hottest... thnks for that outstanding work!!!

[JGreyNemo 0]

This almost completely passed me by.

Thanks!!!

That's how STAFF works! Gunner is targeting above the target to get STAFF activated. It is not activated on a direct hit, only while flying over the target.

[Ironsight 1]

Very nice work guys, especially love the scripts and the winter version

[gunterlund 0]

ok but when he or I fire the STAFF nothing happens to the enemy tank. Should I see an explosion or something overhead? I notice no affect.

ps

just reconfirmed... had the gunner lock on target... get the target box... the gunner is definitely aiming over the target.. he fires.... no affect at 1590m. Had to take the target out with a sabot. Great tracer on the sabot though.

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

Maybe the distance to the target isnt big enough. At least 500m are necessary for working STAFF but you should get a message if you are not far enough.

[bonko the sane 2]

wow, brilliant stuff!

Change gunner Try to increase "skill" of AI. I got no problems with AI using STAFF, range ~700-2000 meters.

More, in previous version of M1A2 SEP it was not easy for human gunner to find good level of gun before firing a STAFF, now it is not so hard task - STAFF looks smarter.

I did not tried it much - so no other word about balance against other tanks - but when moved from TC seat into loader saw strange thing. First, in internal view, gunner moved from his seat and stand on it, very close to TC. In external view - loader hatch was open with gunner watching around. When I moved back from loader into TC position gunner change his position very fast and again was sitting on his seat.

Nice work, I wish I have more time to play with it. Tracers works perfectly. APAM - not. Still not very accurate and PC-unfriendly. MPAT hit effect is worth of seeing, especially at night. STAFF... well, for me - still too much smoke there - but it is nice to see that there is direct path from place of explosion of projectile to target (I wish to see explosion effect that would be something between STAFF and CBT TOW2B).
