Update Sigma-6s Tank Pack

[Coyote Commander 0]

Hey All,

Just a quick question. I've been playing with Sigma-6's US Tank pack for awhile now. I was wondering if it would be hard to update it up to King Homer's M1A2 SEP standard? I have no background in addon-making, just a player.

Cheers,

CC

I'm looking to use older M1A1s and M1s but I'd just like to see them with all of the new features, thats all.

Ah I get ya, mmm... In terms of models, INQ's M1A2 is pretty much the same as S-6's, I suppose you could easily retexture them, apply the new interior, and make up a new config. I could look at it myself if I get time.

That would be awesome.

I only know a limited amount about working with configs. To change from the M1A2 to the A1, would simply involve removing the independent viewer for the commander and some of the electronics inside. The Basic M1 would probably need more.

Definatly, it would require alot of remodelling. I believe that the USMC mod were/are making an M1A1

How hard would it be to add the recoil script, tracers, smoke generator, and external storage? Those are what I think really makes KHA's Abrams awesome.

Between the M1A1,M1 and M1A2 I'v noticed 2 major things and that involved the turret area,firstly the M1A2 has that sensor thing (forgettin names) wheras the A1 has the round cylinder thingy which I have no idea what its used for,M1 does not have anything there,the M1 also has a different basket shape,more to the point it has no basket on the rear of the turret at all.

M1

M1A2

Another noteable thing and I don't think its dispayed in the picture,the M1 has a less thick cannon,when you compare it to the M1A1 it almost seems twiglike.

Thats cuz the M1 only has a M68A1 105mm gun, whereas the M1A1/A2 has the M256 120mm gun.

Yep,also I thought the M60A3's were ditched back around DS..well the only other countries I know that uses em would be Israel and Taiwan..

that "sensor thingy" on the M1A2 would be the commander periscope, where the commander has a 360 degree field of view from the highest point of the tank instead of through his small "windows" on the hatch.

It will be hard to change the M1A2 SEP back to the roots... erm I mean back to M1A1 or M1. It's really not done with removing the CITV. Better wait for the USMC Mod release, including the M1A1 and M1A1 HC.

The M60s were apparently ditched around 1997, although Ive heard that the USMC still use them. Alot more countries that youve mentioned use them. Check out fas.org or globalsecurity.org the US shipped them out to like everyone, even Bosnia has about 50 of them.

Well try some of the mods liek ffur and ECP and Y2K the sigmand tanks often got enhanced with mostof ht nice scripts the M1A2 SEP uses. as well as the east side armor to make things even.

If it's just the US Tanks pack you're wondering about, INQ's are based on my model.  If you want an update of my pack, that's it, and IMO, it's fantastic.

As for the East ones, RHS is the place to look.

@Sigma

Good to hear from you. Yes, I am only really looking for an update to you American tanks, mainly Abrams m1 and a1 models. I've just been thinking that only 2 divisions in the entire U.S. Army are equipped with the A2 or A2 SEP models and that it would be nice for some variety. Especially seeing that the "Run to Baghdad" was made by M1A1 AIMs.
