M1A1 Abrams by Mateck

And what do you want to tell me?

Well you asked if they plan to equip it with........oooh, woops, misread, my apologies. Editing post now, I really shouldn't be on here at 3AM..

@ nikita320106 Oh not a problem, the height looks about right..I haven't stood by an abrams tank in Arma in awhile but I believe the height of the rear was about as tall as the grunts which would be accurate..

King Homer could probably say something more accurate to it. He is the Abrams Tank Guru afterall.

Thats looking really impressive. I cant wait for this to be released.

By the way, what do you mean by 'summer camouflage' ?

Is that some kind of woodland/green paint job version?

Nice work guys.

Hard to say right now, it may be improved stock ArmA paint job, or "fictional" based on MERDC camouflage from the 80's as a bonus. It all depends on reference material and... free time.

As for questions about TUSK, since Mateck wants to release M1A1 in near future, basic M1A1 is right now his primary concern. There is a lot of work on config ahead and we still need to find a way to make features like "commander must to open hatch to reolad M-2"

That also looks quite good !

The second MG turret is quite welcomed... Is it functional only in turned out position or can it be fired from inside ?

Do you plan a replacement pack with this ?

It can be fired only from outside. There is a replacement pack.

Glad to hear it can only be fired from outside, is it possible to do this with the M1A1's 50cal as well?

The .50cal can be fired by the TC from the inside.

yup homer, that MCD. Yeah, the old days about east vs. west steel tractors are back!

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Is it possible in ArmA for the tanks to have cannon recoil, like in the videos more or less? Just curious.

[Messiah 2]

yep, just requires and animation linked to the fired eventhandler, and a script that makes sure its the main gun thats been fired, rather than the coax.

Yes that is my point, outside of the TUSK kit I haven't seen anything about the TC being able to fire it from inside.

Thus I was asking if the non TUSK variants will be corrected in having the line of code (which I can't remember) that allows the TC to fire from inside removed.

You're talking about "inGunnerMayFire" command for the config, but believe me, M1A1 TC are able to fire the M2 from the inside. Not only with the RCWS brought in by TUSK.

I also suggest you watch your words, especially with 3 warning levels.

Do the added MGs and things add a great number of extra

polygons? How does a platoon of those fare driving through a

battlefield littered with burning en vehicles?

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Polygons aren't really the issue, I don't think. If he's using the BIS M240 and a suitable part of the M1 texture(s) remapped for the mount, then hopefully the section count will be kept low.

We tested this addon in large evo style mission on dedicated server, everything runs smooth, dont worry

With what system spec`s did it run smooth?

Not all ArmA players (me included), do have the latest hardware.

ArmA works very well, but one unoptimized addon in use can change much.

Matecks work on Radeon X1950 PRO 256, AMD Athlon64 3800+, 1.5 GB RAM 400Mhz, Chieftec 400W So its not a high end.

Small W.I.P on the main gun:

Good to hear.

I want that mean beast, really.

This looks great, nice work!

Thats a combat weight of 63,086 virtual kg's of goodness.

Can't wait to play with that toy.

Cant wait I wonder when a real M1A2 with the new electronic commander sight will be made.

[Gedis 0]

electronic? cause CTIV means commander's thermal image viewer....

I'm working on a M1A2
