FV432 British APC

Recommended Posts

To the sound of a badly played trumpet fanfare Tag BLX would like to introduce: The FV432 British APC for Arma2 and Combined Operations.

What is it?

Introduced in the 1960's the FV432 was the British equivalent of the American M113.

In it's long lifetime it filled many roles and is still in active service as the Mk3 'Bulldog'.

What you get:

A box with an engine and a machinegun.

Requires:

CBA for XEH

Notes:

version 1.2 (beta)

added new variants: ambulance, mortar carrier and a 'fun' multi-turret config

Download:

If anyone would be kind enough to give it a whirl I'd appreciate some feedback.

Oooo, Ill give it a try. This is a much better release thread than the one for that Challenger 2.

if only my internet would speed up

is there a desert skin as well? if not, one would be appreciated :)

ps noticed in the screen that the display name is the class, I think in config you have to set the display name to something like FV432 so taht it comes up in editor as that

Incredibly piece of kit mate, nice one! Great detail on the interior as well, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from a first release.

Had to go and join an aviation wing didn't I. :p

Oo tried these out. Like the model, and the interior is a nice place to look into. The crewman are perfectly fine. Nice touch with the ILAW, good to have the right named equipment even if it is just the same as the M136

Suggestions/errors:

-display name (as I already mentioned)

-GPMG, the barrel goes back and forth into the receiver like the M2, don't think its supposed to do that!

-crewman are ok, maybe not needed, most people will just use the other units (like StalkerGBs MTP units)

-Please do a desert version for takistan!

-Also, itd be nice to have them under the faction "UK Armed Forces" as this matches pretty much all the other Brit addons that have been released so far, so itll be nace to have it under the same roof so to speak :)

Lovely Jubley, keep at it!!

EDIT: and thank you very much!

Really good model, nice work. The only thing i see needing attention would be the gpmg, the crew and it would be cool if there was a desert version. Nice 1 though great addition to the british kit. :)

These are Project '85 British Paras by Vilas. There's a link in my sig.

@Cleggy:

Do you plan more cold war suitable vehicles? I'd love to see more of those :)

At least some FV432 variants like e.g.: a variant equiped for swimming?

EDIT: great smoke launcher effect by the way.

Great addon, the 432 is the only tracked vehicle I have driven so it has a special place in my heart. :)

It would be great if you could release a desert skin model with the air conditioning unit on the back for operation arrowhead. :cool:
