shilka? tunguska?

[Relemar 10]

what is Russian Anti-air, Shilka or Tunguska? I cant seem to find the Shilka in editor, but in multiplayer sometimes I see Shilkas, but on the other hand I see Tunguskas a lot

whiere is shilka in the editor??

shilka is the old-model mobile AAA - i think only the insurgents use them in the game; they are supposed to be old, battered hand-me-downs which have been crudely repainted.

Tunguska is the more advanced bad-boy in the modern Russian military arsenal, combining cannon with SAMs - a bit too deadly for the confined environment of Chernagorsk, unless you use RKSL's excellent countermeasures mod.....

ah thanks you. i was looking for Shilka ^^ in armoured in Russia :P not insurgents. yes its very suck :)

The CDF also use the Shilka - the insurgents will have stolen it from them.

I disagree that the Shilka is bad. It's a bit hard to use as a player unless the target is quite close, but when it is the Shilka is devastating. The AI on the other hand are good at using it at long range and it can be deadly, especially against helicopters.

The Tunguska is much better though due to its amazing missiles.

Also in real life it can still pose a major threat to any low-flying aircraft.

If anyone wants russian vehicles like the ZSU-23-4 Shilka and BMP-2 on the russian side where they belong id suggest to search the forum for amod named "Extra units" that adds them in classic army green ( taken from ArmA1 ) to the russian arsenal.

There is nothing to stop you putting down an empty Shilka and filling it with Russian guys!

How would you do that? (without a Get In waypoint, atleast)

assignAsGunner and/or moveInGunner etc

shielka or zsu-23-4.

why does the military want me to call it zsu-23-4 and not just shielka I do not know

Because they told you it's called T-72 and not Ural.

why not use "get in nearest" (this works well)

this moveInDriver name_of_tank;

this moveInGunner name_of_tank;

this moveInCommander name_of_tank;

If you use 3D editor you can right click on unit and select Driver/Gun and Commander link to vehicle.

Slighlty confused as to the problem with calling something by it's name!!

Becasue that's it's name. ZSU-23-4 has a 4 barreled 23mm cannon. SHILKA is a nickname.
