da12thMonkey 1943 Posted November 13, 2011 I would love to see a basic challenger 2 without skirts like this one: I think the lack of any skirts has to do with them driving that one over a Mondeo and a Polo: to stop bits of metal getting wedged in the tracks no doubt. The little skirts seem to be fitted on CR2 normally - or sometimes with just the rear-most section of the skirt removed to clear the sprocket. Tankieboy will know better than I though ;) (alright Paul?). Also, removing the skirts would mean DK would have to put a load more effort into the detailing parts of the running gear that are normally hidden (returner wheels, torsion bars etc). Otherwise, it could be done fairly simply with a bit of model.cfg work to write hide animations for the skirt sections, and a little entry in the init line when it comes to using the tank in the mission editor.

Herrrrroooo! The standard is to have the "bazooka plates" fitted and/or to have the rear removed as you say mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until the bloody end connectors work loose and ping the whole lot off. Took me an hour to find them all again...in the dark, with no lights. Gotta love BATUS :o On that OA update - DK was working on finishing off the Sounds, ECM fit and updated L2 turret armour. Not sure how he's got on with it but it was making good progress on the last version we tested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogart 10 Posted January 11, 2012 I think the lack of any skirts has to do with them driving that one over a Mondeo and a Polo: to stop bits of metal getting wedged in the tracks no doubt. The little skirts seem to be fitted on CR2 normally - or sometimes with just the rear-most section of the skirt removed to clear the sprocket. Tankieboy will know better than I though ;) (alright Paul?). Sorry I didn't see you replied to me, I know but the tank in the video is gorgeous instead of the one fully protected. Also, removing the skirts would mean DK would have to put a load more effort into the detailing parts of the running gear that are normally hidden (returner wheels, torsion bars etc). DK doesn't have to do it, wheels are well made, he has just to erase skirts and protections. Otherwise, it could be done fairly simply with a bit of model.cfg work to write hide animations for the skirt sections, and a little entry in the init line when it comes to using the tank in the mission editor. Could you explain to me how to do it, please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friznit2 350 Posted January 11, 2012 There's more to CR2 running gear than just wheels. What you don't see hidden behind those boz plates is the hydrogas suspension units and top rollers, which I'd hazard a guess aren't modelled. Spotters splurge, for those interested: on a regular tank without Dorchester armour bolted on, the boz plate ('skirts') are mainly there to channel dirt and crap dragged up by the tracks to the rear. Sharp eyed spotters will have noticed that the RDGs learnt to take the rear plates off during EX SAIF SAREEA II in Oman, to let the excess dust and sand egress (they went out there un-desertised originally and quickly learnt all the nasty things heat and sand can do to a 70T MBT). Hence the up armoured CR2 on TELIC had a canvas skirt at the back - almost like a mud flap. What da12thMonkey says about removing skirts for driving over cars is spot on - metal gets wedged behind the boz plate, craps up your end connectors and your track falls off. Pain in the arse digging it all out again, as we learnt to our cost after snagging some barbed wire outside Al Amarah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dk-vcb 31 Posted January 22, 2012 oki lads cant release the chally 2 because its apparently too oversized.. so atm i gotta keep it off for the rest of u... sry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xeno426 10 Posted January 22, 2012 Too oversized? You mean too high poly, or the file size is too large? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dk-vcb 31 Posted January 22, 2012 no the tank is too large apparently 140% too big.. so have to leave it off sry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigMorgan 11 Posted January 23, 2012 no the tank is too large apparently 140% too big.. so have to leave it off sry DM hath ordained it to be so. :j: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted January 23, 2012 DM hath ordained it to be so. :j: DM hath measured it to be so... The yellow outline is made from a combination of blueprints (not model kit ones mind) and measurements taken from the real vehicle, the red outline is the UKF model. If DK decides that means he cant release it, thats his choice, not mine. Oh, and I was wrong about the wheels, its more like 125% :j: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
