Features: - loader position with mounted M240 - new textures - slightly modified BIS model - custom markings - custom parts - new armor values - new ammo - two ammo loadouts - main gun recoil Note: New armor values, new ammo and tank loadouts are based on NonWonderDogs Tank FCS addon.

Deadeye 1 Posted May 2, 2008 Great ! ArmedAssault.info Mirror (packed with 7zip, so it's only 9,63 MB now) http://www.armedassault.info/index.p....lang=en This addon is packed with 7-zip, a packer tool similar to Winrar. You can get it from HERE, but the files can also be extracted with Winrar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.d 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Great details, brilliant design and good job on the replacement, too! Tested it with and without NWD Tank addons (works well!) and over several missions - couldn't see any major flaws (SIX tracers don't work with it, you get the weird BIS "lines" instead, but that doesn't matter much) This is going into the list, if you don't mind.

malick 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Hey good news ! Will test it as soon as possible. Why SIX tracers can't work with it ? Have you defined new ammo for it which are not recognized ? Would it be possible to have a BIS config for that ? i.e. BIS guns and ammo for compatibility sake... Looks really good anyway ! Malick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted May 2, 2008 Known bugs:... - Six Tracers are not supported, default ArmA tracers are forced to avoid situation that tracers are not visible while using this mod - tank cannon muzzle flash from Maddmatt's ArmA Effects is not working ... Those two problems would be solved if the weapons in the config simply inherited from the closest BIS class, then it would inherit the settings needed for those mods. Of course your addon also needs to use XEH (by Solus) if it uses any eventhandlers. I haven't looked at your addon so I can't be much more specific than that right now.

Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Excellent work Mateck I have one question though, am I overlooking it or something but I cant find the bikey or a link to it. You have signed it which is great but we need a key as well Frontpaged at the Armaholic.com homepage.

Buzz 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Can I put my beer in the turret storage, I guess if there's still room Nice work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mateck 0 Posted May 2, 2008 @Maddmatt All ammo and weapons are based on closest BIS class, but still Six tracers are not showing up (in public release they don't have right to show up as I forced default tracers ). Probably i missed something. @wipman This version don't have many markings, but I will add more in future versions. Anyone can post their wishes Also it should be possible to set own textures in some places. Check the ReadMe file. @El nino Foxhound I forget about bikey. Sorry At this moment I have some connections problems so browsing the net is like pain in the ass. I will add this bikey as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PuFu 4600 Posted May 2, 2008 Really nice tank you got there! Bad things first: *The armor is way to high in relation with the other standard tanks..It can take up to 3-6 shot before it blows up *The commander's Mg is way to powerful. I was able to BLOW a t72 with about 100-150 bullets. i found that odd Good things: *I like the canon's recoil absorber that works *random markers *overall quality of the model and textures. Gonna put it besides Homer's and have a good comparison So, t90 next? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted May 2, 2008 @MaddmattAll ammo and weapons are based on closest BIS class, but still Six tracers are not showing up (in public release they don't have right to show up as I forced default tracers ). Probably i missed something. I just looked at your config. The problem is that you don't use XEH (Extended EventHandlers). If you want your addon to be compatible with mods like mine, 6thsense.eu tracers and more then you need to use XEH. It would also make use of all the SLX effects. It's accepted as a standard among many modders already. It would be nice if you also used it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mateck 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks to Wiliam1 I know how to fix compatibility with XEH. Thank You for fixing my configs SIX Tracers and ArmA Effects are now working. At least they will be in next public release About commanders MG. I will take a closer look at this EDIT I mistook wipman with william1. Of course william1 send me fixed configs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ingram 258 Posted May 2, 2008 Outstanding work Mateck! Simply outstanding!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks to Wpiman I know how to fix compatibility with XEH. Thank You for fixing my configs SIX Tracers and ArmA Effects are now working. That's good Might be a good idea to include XEH with your addon when you release the update, like I did with mine. Otherwise people who don't read things and haven't got it already will wonder why things like main gun recoil and random markings are not working Anyway, good job on the addon. As for the commander MG being able to take out a T72, it's the same deal with the BIS one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T_bone 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Really nice tank you got there! Bad things first: *The armor is way to high in relation with the other standard tanks..It can take up to 3-6 shot before it blows up As for armor its intentional. We dont want to see Abrams blowing up after 2 shoots from RPG. Now its more probable that tank will be more or less damaged and you will have to retreat or abandon it. If its too hard to destroy it, try from the rear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
