i like Abrams, T-72/80/90

but i like more to bust Abramses with T-72, very hard to do it, but it keeps me well trained against overpowered enemy.

P.S. how to turn of smoke from AI controled Inq's and King Homer's Abramses when they are near to destruction?

because 4 abramses covered with smoke gives me some lag...

Hi,

My vote goes to the LLW YPR-765. It is a flimsy and vulnerable vehicle but can deliver a powerful blow. This makes stalking other armoured vehicles a dangerous, yet satisfying business. In addition the AI will use the vehicle's weapons and fire modes in a believable way.

Other armoured vehicles I like a lot are the Operation Frenchpoint VBL with .50 turret and the BWMOD Leopard1A5. The BIS BMP is my favourite original OFP vehicle: it offers guided AT missiles, a machinegun and a main gun whose rounds drop sufficiently to be able to fire from behind cover at non line of sight targets.

Regards,

Sander

Anything, but BIS-made vehicles. Especially hate the oversized BIS BMP.

[ShadowY 0]

Anything, except those cartonboard textured vehicles

Sure, the BIS tanks aren't as nice as new high poly tanks with high res textures but still my favourite is the T-80.

The T-80 is the only tank I fear. The Abrams is tough too but I don't fear it, I hate it.

[Messiah 2]

call me biased, but our Warrior is still one of my favourite armoured addons in OFP

[Daniel 0]

Aye, gotta say the Warrior too. The cannon just - feels right.

[Sanyix 0]

T-80, especially RHS T-80s

Tank: Leopard 2A6

It's probably my favourite tank. Its faster than the Abrams, without having to have a gas turbine, it has the longer gun and just looks cool

IFV: BMP-3M

Come on, its like a tank, except smaller and faster with troop carrying capability. How can you beat it?

APC: BTR-T

Good armour, and I love the version with the 2A38 cannon...

APC/IFV: UKF's Warrior

Tank: SFP's Strv 122

Gotta be the SIG M1A2. That thing is a behemoth.

I really agree with you, whenever I play the campaign and I see a T-80 coming, I feel somewhat afraid, especially if I have no AT weapons, Its a really great sense of fear combined with adrineline, I love it, but when I see an Abrams I feel more like "ohhh... great...I'm screwed.." but don't get me wrong I like the Abrams, its just overpowered in OFP, takes like 10 RPGs to destroy and i think 4 AT4's, funny thing I did a quicky mission with T-80 vs. M1A1 Platoon on Desert island and I watched as a civilian and strangely the T-80's won I was really shocked, I also noticed that they reload rounds alot faster and shoot faster than their M1 counterparts, Interesting stuff

I like the T-55 myself... Nothing beats rolling around Nogova in a piece of good ol' Russian armour.

gotta go with the gavin!

actually i don't have a favorite armored vehicle in ofp, i just voted for it because of this hilarious pro-gavin, anti-stryker, anti-bradley, anti-hmmwv page that i saw a while back:

<span style='color:blue'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>M113 GAVIN AIRBORNE ARMORED FIGHTING VEHICLE IN COMBAT</span></span>

For default tanks, i like the BIS T80 a lot.

I agree with the "fearsome" potential of the vision of a T80 platoon storming your base, despite the BIS Abrams is more powerfull than the BIS T80, it is less impressive visually.

For addons tanks, the DKM T12UM1 "Black Eagle" is still my favorite

[Jay L.Macrae 0]

I voted for the M60A2, (although there isn't one for OFP and the BIS one represents an M60 A1 or A3, nomatter what it says in the mission editor) because I like All M60's... A1's, A2's, A3's even the Isareli Magach's.

I'm in love with the WGL BMP3 and BMD3, and the MFCTI M1A1, and the WGL one. Great memories blasting away clanmates in Abrams in my BMP3 and slaughtering infantry in the BMD. Something I'll never forget is using the MFCTI version of the M1A1 and destroying two armored tank columns led by the same person in a game of CTI, imagine his surprise when I started taking out his escorts and then his T80, then his two T72s and his two T80s the second time, and finally a BMP2, a T72, and a T80 the third time! It was absolutely amazing (Note, south Everon, north of Vernon, on the west side of the valley there's an amazing little nook with a bunch of trees. Park your tank there and you can shoot down on half of the valley with some fairly good concealment against humans).

I would have to say Bis made T55. Third party addons VITAPC pack- (BTR-80). I like to get to the battle in style

Its a wonder that thing is able to move with all the armour its loaded up with!

PLEASE don't call the M113 a "gavin". That name is not official and was just made up by that site you linked to to give it a fancy name to make it more interesting. Te M113 is an old aluminium box on tracks that's about to fall apart because of old age.

No matter what they say about the stryker; at least that thing has a V-bottom to surfive a mineblast. The M113 is a deathtrap compared to that.

I vote for the DKM Black Eagle. It's not the best tank, since it was balanced againt the BIS ones, but it sure looks bad-ass!!!
