<span style='color:BLUE'>UPDATE:</span>

Hi folks,

To get some new conditions into ArmA, i changed the M1A1 to an M1A2 and his feature. I hope we can add sometime an new model to this release, so it also looks authentic like an real M1A2. But that wont happen until release of Oxygen3 Light and other tools.

I hope you all enjoy this little modification and have fun with it.

Greetz, Kev / VenoM

- Armor set to 800 (standard 950), for balancing against T72

The evil word!

No download for me sorry.

Good job but I agree with Oswald: the best balancing should be to put a T 90

are you joking ?

you want balance newest heavy US tank to the tank from 1960/1970 with no ERA and no ceramic armor ?

T72 weights 42 tons, M1A2 60 tons

M60 was worse than T72, but M1A2 in Afgan and Iraq war showed the T72 has no chance

i understand you can comapre to newest T80U, but to T72 ?

so there is my suggestion for your next addon - make the same accuracy of Makarov and M24 to make it comparable

and power of AKS74UN comparable to hit of M107

[Kev 0]

why, lol the T72 only has 700 armor. so he still needs two hits sometimes.

there is no t-80 or t-90 out yet and everybody cries "the US Forces are inbalanced". so tell me what u want guys?

i still can change it in 5 minutes.

UPDATE: Armor back to default settings.

New sounds added.

Check first post for download.

put it to correct value, if its representing a M1A2

You better change it, the WHOLE game getting inbalanced with this setting. Anway the skins are great and the features awesome! Would like to see some new Stryker Features with this skins, maybe also a thermalvision?!

Authentic Warfare Studios has modified Stryker with this skins but we will not release it.

For Now:

[vilas 477]

US forces are not balanced - it is true

but as Metallica sings "sad but true"

M1A2 is newest heavy tank, T72 is 20 tones lighter, it has better maneuverability in terrain, it can cross weaker bridges, but it cannot be comparable

M1A2 is like Leopard 2A6, Chellenger 2

in real life US forces are inbalanced too

look at modern wars - poor , hungry people with AK in tshirt against massive bombings of F16, Abrams tanks and well trained soldiers with newest vests and with NVG or even termovision scopes on automatic rifles of long distance Barrets

war is not nice and not fair, wins this who have more money for new equipement

in modern war casualties US/rest of world are about 1:20 - 1:50

how many Iraq or other Arabs died ? 30 000 or maybe 40 000 against 2000 (with some friendly fire also and accidents) ?

in first ARMA version BIS made some mistakes - AK74 kicks as hell, althought is is very balanced/stable weapon

M4 has the same range of effective fire in game, but not in real life as AK

for me BIS even made Abrams too weak

in Iraq there were accidents when Abrams shot by T72 survived and returned fire without any problems, so i made my Abrams even more stronger about 1200 (to avoid situation when one shot in front hull of turret kills tank)

maybe parameters of front/rear armor will help, but we don't have tools, we don't know if BIS made selections like front, rear armor, we don't know if it works

i agree that Abrams is much much stronger in front, but weak in rear side, but without tools we just can give armor of whole vehicle

please make addons as realistic as sources/knowledge helps you

thermalvision is not possible because not implemented in the game.

our mod team is new only 2 people at the moment. me and piranha. we started building this team up today.

here is an example from dennys urban stryker:

to see upcoming addon models like AH64 Apache, Naval forces etc and AH1-Z reskinz check

[vilas 477]

skins looks super

[R0adki11 3949]

@Vilias it seem that once again you go on about the balancing issues in another thread once again, cant u just leave your moaning in your own thread.

On topic the strykers look nice, nicely done reskins

[Kev 0]

Authentic Warfare Studios is pointed on releasing

totaly authentic addons with vehicles so realistic

as we can make it. im sorry that we choosed to make

the m1a2 a bit weaker for balancing. But i had requests like

hell to bring a bit more balancing into the gameplay with an

weak tank. but now i changed it back to the defaults and raised

the armor from 900 to 1000 for realistic behaviour of the M1A2.

i hope u forgive me my mistake.

at the moment there is a work on an M1A2 Pretorian Prototyp

what is in the works by the US Army in reallife, check piranha's site for more details.

we have no coder for implementing those new models into the game so its hard to make our job without the tools BIS wanted to give us.

Also there is an AH64 Apache Longbow that wants to be released.

All we can do is waiting at the moment.

ha

don't care about people cry

i remember that one person was requesting to make M1 Carbine stronger , but in real life M1 Carbine during Korean War showed itself as very weak weapon because cartridge was known as underpowdered

there were accidents that Koreans in thick winter jackets were protected against Carbine bullets from few hundred of meters

of course some people can cry that one rifle is not so strong as other rifle, but don't care about voices of people who deny reality

realism is most important (as for my point of view) no matter how many people are not satisfied with it true life parameters

Looks awesome! Great skins and features. Well done, I'm eagerly awaiting future releases (especially after tools come out)

Good effort.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

I'd also like to get my hands on them Strykers, if you blokes didn't mind.  

EDIT - My only gripe is that there are too many "DL"s on the vehicle. Feel free to sign your texture, of course, but could you do it somewhere that doesn't show up ingame? Kind of ruins the effect, if you get me.

[suhsjake 1]

Great Mod. Just tried it and had a blast, but if you find a model builder, make sure he adds the new sites to it for the proper look.

[Varry 0]

saw a documentary on national geographic a bout the abrams, how they upgraded it, refurbish... they said no abrams ever got killed by another tank, they got damaged but not killed!!! only true threat so far to the abrams are rpg's and mines.

If your AH64 is ready, ask Mapfact for the use of their configs, they are awesome, just like your model!

[Kev 0]

its not my model it is the model of denny piranha.

we work together for the authentic warfare mod team project.

we are still searching for coders, sound artists and several

3d designers.

if possible we will have an conversation with mapfact.

I sure hope this Denny Piranha uses the Alias "James007bond9" on turbosquid, otherwise this is NOT your model.

I recognize this model easily, its a free mostly accurate AH-64A that can be downloaded via turbosquid, if I need proof of my accusations then here it is.

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/3985/webpageju4.jpg <- main web page in which this model can be downloaded

Now considering I too work on AH-64A and D models and have been on and off since OFP, I don't want to seem like sore competition, so I'll go on a leap of faith for now and believe that this model really is his and that you guys are not taking advantage of a free model without proper credit.

By the way, great Abrams and Stryker textures, but I wouldn't exactly call it the M1A2 unless you have on the M1A1 modified what really makes it an M1A2.

I had exactly the same discussion with him on a german Forum where he also showed the Ah64 from Turbosquid a M1a1 gunpoint-3d.com and a Railgun free available on the Web. He said that he made this models exclusive for ArmA just a few days ago but when you have a look at the release dates on Turbosquid you will see that this isn´t true.

He tried to show me that it is his AH64 model in cloning the Rotorblades

Here you can see the M1a1 which he said is made by him.

and here the original from http://gunpoint-3d.com/M1Abrams.html on Turbosquid downloadable since 2003. Guess what? He cloned the gun

Finally the railgun which he said was done by him

http://www.denny-piranha.com/images/arma%20ramjet1.jpg

browse the Web and you will also find this one free for download

He has some good skills in skining not personally my taste of how military vehicle have to look like but not that bad at all.

Normaly i give a FU what other peoples are doing but taking others work and stating that it is his own work shouldn´t be tolerated by the Community. Where does it starts and where does it ends!

@xnodunitx

At least iam not the only one who is thinking so.

Please don't attempt to balance anything.

IMO, balance creates laziness. If you want to take out the M1A2, and are worried about the T72 faced off with the M1A2, put a couple AT soldiers in-two for the T72 crew. Travel with a mechanized infantry squad?
