UK Challenger MBT Beta

[quakergamer]

Hi all,
If you've didn't already know, the OPGWC MOD has released their Challenger MBT for testing so youcan get it here. Also I already know that it has way too weak armor and the gun isnt that strong (Try using the HESH Shell).

So here it is:


For Version 1.75 and above(1.85 to 1.91) (3 206 kb)
http://www.roughnecks.org/opgwc/addons/ds_chalv1.75.zip

For Version 1.30 and above (1.30 to 1.46) (3 206 kb)
http://www.roughnecks.org/opgwc/addons/ds_chalv1.46.zip

well, i played the 1.46 version (cos i dl it before i got resistance) and i would have to say this is pretty good. The only problem i can see on the tank is on the LOD i see (possibly 2-3) that on the raised surfaces near the back, it stretches the texture to lines, which isnt the most pleasing sight.

If you could fix that then, this would be a superb addon  :joystick:

1 more bug if the driver turns out the feet of the driver comes out on the front

that's a pretty nice challenger, so far I've used it in one mission *which is soon to go into beta testing here* and hope to use it in more (I'll be making historical battles from the Gulf war, one including a large number of challengers), good luck fixing the tank, it's really nicely done with the modelling and the texturing aint half bad either  ;D

I think the textures and model is great, but the sounds of the gun aint great at all. I think the armour is alright (It took 4 shots from MAF's Iraqi t-72 to knock it out) but the gun seems a little weak too. I havent expermented between ranges

Overall its good, just needs little finishing touches.

BTW a woodland Challenger 1 is available on opflashpoint.org

[tankieboy]

Is that a M2 on top if so why?

[Peter Eyres]

actually the gun is powerful ;D

I was thinking about the woodland one made by Markmo

[Peter Eyres]

1 bug is. The tank keeps bouncing around sometimes if you leave it still

Is there gonna be a fixed version?

I think the Scorpian was phased out before Gulf War One.
A Scimitar would be nice.
The Warrior looks good.
The Challenger one looks very rounded.
Why are you making a Cent? You may aswell make a Chieftain.

These will not be released for a long long time so I expect by the time they are they will be fantastic or possably be able to use OFP2.

[swift88]

the scimitar has been built too but ive not got round to showing you it, because ive been messing aorund with another scimitar............. i thought the challenger was a bit rounded myself so im going to build my own new one............ im also considering the chieftan............hehehe but the centurion was only built, because where going to make it a avre........... i made a avlb, but im having troubles getting it to work but i will get it too...... all the models in that pic, are not mine accept the warrior....... ive also got the cvrts and cvr(w)'s and a truck and trailer

[Bruce Banner]

the warrior looks massive. Its big but not bigger than a chally!

[swift88]

cheers mate............... im just sorting the textures at the moo and then ill play with the scale and then interior textures etc.........

[Blackblood]

Hallelujah! Really nice looking, mate!  
One thing though: shadows. Has that been stretched before?

CanÂ't wait for the release...!

[swift88]

im not sure if you are sure about tank addons but they are total agro, in terms of getting every-thing  right.................... so lets just say this " one thing at a time" any way sorry" you havent seen my sultan or other cvrt's either........... oh and about the scorpian being retiered ive made the sabre out of malvias mods bottom half of the scorpian.........

[swift88]

as of yet with the mod.....so sorry that will be for a couple of months

[Bruce Banner]

Not good

[Coporal_Punishment]

They look awsome the models look great I suppose the only thing which need a bit of work would be the skins on the vehicels, but the skins on the wheels look awsome.

PS- can't wait till its released

[swift88]

skins are being worked on...........plus the warrior looks alot better........
the skins on the wheels are being changed, because they are from marfys M113....... (  :-\ ) ah well

HI, dont take this the wrong way but the Warroir you have modeled it totally wrong. From other pics I have seen that you have made the command version F511 but I believe you mean to make the 510 IFV version. The command version has a dummy 30mm gun anyway so it wouldnt be much fun in OFP.

Now the IFV doesnt have the twin split door at the rear, it has a single door,

It has two radio antennae, not three.

the right hand side add on armour is square at the front,not slpoed forward at the top.

behind the turret it looks like you have made engine grills, they are in fact large hatches.

the front  has a engine grill below the 3 handles you have made(should be four) which is flat with the sloping hull.

Infront of this is a armoured cover which is sort of curved.

On the turret the sights "shutters" are wrong.

the front mudgaurds are the wrong shape as well as the addon armour which looks too small.


I think thats all for now, but dont take this personally, I just happen to have benn in alot of warriors and have a few books on them, als oive made a few models of them. But I think its great that people like you are bringing british vehicles into the game

[swift88]

lol.......ive been wanting to change the periscopes for some time............. i relised that the door thingy was an issue myself and will have a word with my texturer...... i myself put 2 radio antenia but the texturer put another one on lol........ apart from that i cant blame any thing else on the texturer
