Actually that is (I beleive, judging by the sideskirts in the full picture of that tank) the Challenger 2E, the export version of the Challenger 2, the clue here is the Desertised part of the name. This includes a number of additions, such as fabric 'skirts' along the underside of the Chobham bolt-on armour. The Challenger 2 you showed has the standard armour package. This is the Up-armoured Desertised Challenger 2, currently in Iraq. Mr Reality, there are a lot of paint scheme variations between tanks in Iraq, black barrels, yellow barrels, black mudguards, yellow mudguards. It seems to be down to how much they wanted to paint. I can't do every single variation to the paint as seen on tanks in Iraq, but there may be a few variations to the one shown in my picture.

In other words I don't know, it is a lot of time and effort to make an addon releasable.

They're not even half textured, and they are totally unscripted... It was just meant to be a picture of 1991 Gulf War equipment, not an advertisement for addons I have. Some things are not made with the intention of release. It's very unlikely that the Patriots would be ready by the release of Armed Assault (and that's not going to be this year...) and I have other projects to be worked on ahead of it.

Yes. Why do you ask? Have you seen a mistake or inaccuracy?

Large Version Just a few things I made, same story as Llauma's gocart. I hope I credited the addons enough Island used: DMA Lybia

My contribution Large Version Most of the hull textures and some of the turret textures are very early in developement there, so it does look clean and it does lack some detail. It is not representative of the final Challenger.

After Rockape showed me the emails he was getting, I was impressed by the restraint and proffesionalism he showed. If it had been me, I'd really have 5 warning bars next to my name.

Nevermind.

It looks amazing, the model is one of the best looking aircraft models I have yet seen. I'm sure that you'll do a fantastic job texturing it too.

If you want CoD action, I have a suggestion for you. Normally I would stop there as the suggestion would be pretty obvious, yet I somehow get the impression in this case it is needed: Go play CoD. I've seen people loving to rip OFP:E apart because that's what they do, it's apparently witty and inteligent to complain about everything. Look at some posts in the Addons & Mods: Complete section. In fact it just makes these people look stupid because they have missed the point of OFP entirely, and just try to say that the game is unrealistic because it is so credited with being realistic, disagreeing with that makes them look like they know what real combat looks like, and OFP isn't it. I know of at least 5 current and ex-servicemen that would disagree. Done properly you can have a tense, action packed mission where you do not fire a single shot. Fact is life is not a series of walls where behind each one a small stage was thought up by the game maker for a specific little sequence of action, where the player moves from behind each rock/crate/vehicle to get close to the enemy before single handedly killing every enemy AI and moving onto the next stage. OFP isn't that linear. It also reminds you of the fact that no matter who you are, you have no better chance of survival than your opponent, you can be killed in one shot as can they. It is one of very few games where you are not the Gordon Freeman, Lara Croft, etc. You are just one part of something. If you don't like that, don't create a topic moaning about it. Just learn to use OFP.

On the Magach 7A the turret appears to slope down so it finishes just above the hull in one go, the actual Magach 7A has a slight inwards-slope at the bottom of the turret before it finishes above the hull. I hope you understand what I mean, yours looks like it would be from the side: / as one slope, while it looks to me it is more like < but with that slope going inwards toward the turret ring being slightly shorter than the one going forwards. I am only suggesting it because I recently saw pictures of the Magach 7 and I wanted to make one myself.

Are you volunteering?

LOL I suggest you don't read the M16/M4 brochure when getting information. Yeah it's the wonder weapon! I saw it in BlackHawk Down so it must be true! I'm not even going to start on the M1... M16/M4 is a good weapon. It is light, compact, accurate and reliable in trained hands. I'm not saying it's not, I'm just questioning if it's "the best" or just surrounded in a lot of hype.

As much as I dislike making posts which are negative, due to Rockape being piled with messages about how people think they should get the C-130 before anyone else, it's time for a public statement. Rockape and myself are BOTH working on this pack. There are a few people who seem to think it is either solely myself or him that are working on it. Secondly, there will be no "special edition" model or pack for certain people. Please do not request one. Also, if your mod is making things, you do not require the C-130 to continue working. You can find dimensions of the cargo bay on the Lockheed site, failing that Rockape or myself will supply you with the technical data you need. You can also find this information for finding out if the C-130 will fit in your aircraft hangers. It must be said again: this model is a COMPLETELY NEW model for this project. You don't require the model to check if it's yours. It's not. Well, not unless you're Rockape. We were not born yesturday. My last request is that for any questions regarding variants, countries, colour schemes etc be PMed to me, so Rockape doesn't have to deal with all of the messages. Just to reiterate, we are NOT running the "Reasons why I should have this model before anyone else because I am special" in 40 words or less competition. I already won it. Then again I was the judge. Even while typing this, another reason was sent. I know a lot of people are waiting for a decent C-130, but we will release the C-130s to the public only when they are finished. There will be no exceptions, we do not require beta testers as we already have them. Our thanks to the community for their understanding.

Because then they wouldn't be teasers

You can get the latest RSC (at least I think it is) from here: http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?showthis=6554

Shots of the new C-130 model. These pictures are just designed to show the "standard" C-130H model, which is a complete remake from the old model. All textures are temporary Large Version Large Version Large Version Large Version

Nice work! Wish I could do anything near that quality...

So we have to wait until... almost 1 year ago? The project looks nice.

Is it not putting the VME mod team at risk to still allow it to be hosted?

There are updates to the DKM site, including news on the C-130 pack that you should check. We don't always have time to check the forums here http://dkm.gotf.net/

Added. My apologies, I've totally forgotten. Fair enough, thanks.

Just thought you should know you left DKM out of the credits.
