Hover Tank: Mephisto

[Hover Tank: Mephisto]

 

ABOUT

Disclaimer: There are some minor issues with handling in the current version such as speed going over water and AI having trouble driving. These have been fixed in the dev branch with the new tank Physx, will update after the patch comes out.

The Mephisto is a state of the art fighting vehicle developed by the United States in tandem with some members of the EU. It prioritizes speed, flexibility, and firepower over traditional protection. With a cruising speed of 60kph and a top speed of 110kph it can easily pass over terrain inaccessible to traditional armored vehicles. 

It is armed with a high velocity 75mm auto-loading cannon situated in an unmanned turret. It can fire both AP and deadly neutron shells effective against most targets. Instead of a traditional co-axial machine gun, Mephisto comes equipped with a lethal microwave emitter. 

Its armor protection is not nearly as good as a traditional MBT, more akin to an IFV. However it makes up for this with a powerful active protection system that can be manually activated to intercept ATGMs and AT rockets for a short time.

It can be found under Nato / Tanks 

Camo can be changed in the virtual garage (Arid, Forest, Snow, Experimental)

[Type 22 Manta UGV]

This is what the vanilla Saif UGV should have always been. Excellent work!

 

I noticed that you can access the High Raise and Low Raise user actions when you go near it though, regardless of whether you're an enemy or friendly unit. I think that the radius needs to be decreased so that only the Manta's UAV driver can access it...unless this is intended by design?

 

EDIT: This also means that you can still access both commands when the Manta is destroyed. Seems a bit odd that the suspension would still be functional after becoming a burning wreckage.

 

Another thing that I just noticed is that the Chinese that you've written on the hull is both grammatically and technically incorrect. If you're going by how the PLA actually designate their stuff it should be in this format: designation number (usually the year that it was introduced though this isn't always the case), mobility system (is it a wheeled/tracked vehicle?), crew type (is it manned/unmanned?), platform.

 

So the writing on your UGV should actually be "22 型 轮式无人平台" or "Type 22 Wheeled Unmanned Platform":

 

*name goes here, so in this case Manta*
22 型 - Type 22
轮式 - Wheeled
无人 - Unmanned
平台 - Platform

Next update will address these issues

ABOUT

 

A UGV for CSAT designed to fit into the Arma 3 time line 

 

The Type 22 Manta is a homegrown Chinese UGV designed to engage heavy armor. It features an adjustable suspension system allowing it to fire over cover, maintaining a low profile when not in use. 

 

It is well armored and can resist Kinetic energy penetrators used by most MBTs because of its wedge shaped construction and composite armor. It being composed of lightweight ceramics means it is vulnerable to sustained fire from Autocannons and ATGMS. 

 

It is armed with an auto-loading Mini-spike AT launcher and .50 cal machine gun. Its ability to quickly fire its missile payload and then retreat makes it an effective ambush vehicle.

Its high gun elevation means it may be effective against aircraft in some minor capacity.
