Post by: Vibes on 10 Jan 2003, 00:29:51

Cool, i like both versions. I used to built & paint them as 1:72 plastic models (still got 10 of them somewhere). 1 of the things i'd recommend are some dirty tracks and mud splatters all around the lower body part - should look even more realistic.

I love the troops riding on the back, very nice touch.....is that part of the vehicle, like the BTR-70's or is it done with setpos?  Definatly something that has been needed, as it makes the tank so much more useful.

Oh and is the M4A3 only coming in 76mm or 75mm (not sure if the M4A3 had a specific gun) and if so, are you going to make different types, like a 76mm, a 75mm, and a 105mm (short barrel)?
Oh and couldn't tell from the screen shot, but are you going to have a .50 cal on top of the turret?

Great job though!

No .50 cal, since it wouldn't work. It has a co-axial in the turret. And they are cargo positions, like on the BTR-70. And just one version of the weapon for now.

Actually, I think you can have an MG on the turret and fire it, but it doesn't move(Up,Down, etc) It aims with the main gun but the MG fire comes from the MG.

The Gulf War mod did it on their M109 and I think their Challenger(haven't tried it yet).

Yeah and there was a tank pack that had it......
Basically the gun on the turret would be eye candy, and you would have 2 co axial MG's, one a .30  (?) and then the top .50....
And I noticed that one of the soldiers when in cargo looks like hes manning a phantom gun on top of the turret.....

But good work, I like it on the whole....

Its a little tough, but oh well

Hey Vibes your vehicles are brilliant and I have done some work on the textures to make them applicable for those of us more interested in the story line of the current game (ie FIA, Russians and US). I have them for my own personal use but would love to share them with you if you want to release an alternate pack for Post 1985. I changed this one to make it a resistance tank (you know an old outmoded WW2 tank just laying around Malden, Nagova, or Everon that the resistance refurbish). Just let me know and I will send it to you for you to release.

DL ;D
