T-72 Frankentank

[[7]9|PA.ru!ner]

Is doable and extremely easy to create. I just tested it out and it seems to work fine. Only issue is one naggy warning dialog when you get into the T-72 / M1A1 hybrid, and this should be easy to fix. Killing it with an Abrams takes 1 - 2 rounds, and it took out an Abrams in 1 - 2 shots.

Dude, awesome work! Package it back up so i can try it out!

[[DI]I|Cpl.Dren]

So does rounds come from the turret etc...?
Or did you do more than just change m1a1's model in config file?

[[DI]I|Cpl.Dren]

btw 110% that this is must see on C2 or even Tour 2.
Nice job once again ru!ner.

I checked in 3rd person and everything appears to come from the correct location.

How come you have so much spare time?

Guys what is the status of this Tank? It sounds awesome and looks like development was finished. Any status update?

I believe Ru!ner was going to try to fix the "turn out" ability so the turret did not interfere with the players vision. When all is ready and tested, it will make its debut in Campaign 2, Tour 1.

Unfortunately the models BIS released, including the T-72, have errors. Somehow they managed to change a lot of the names on the components. So its going to take a bit to find and correct everything.

Thanks for the update Ru!ner. That sad that models which were released by BIS have errors. They are supposed to be the "pro's".

Yeah I don't understand why they changed anything. All they needed to do was release the MDOL models that are readable by Oxygen and the configs for them. But the models don't match up to the configs they released OR the configs that come with the game. :confused:

Thanks Ru!ner !!!

Problem is fixed and I learned not to trust rpt errors. Now there is a new problem though.

Turn out is possible and working BUT the positioning of the driver is going to be a balance between clipping on the hull (seeing into the tank through the hull a bit) and his feet sticking through the hull lol. The tank is so cramped up front I don't think there is a way around this.

[BazookaBoy]

Is that problem just when the driver is turned out? If so I would say feet showing is the better option. You'll only be using 'turn out' when you are in a safe situation and want better visability to drive, so it sounds like that would give the best view for driving

It should only be when turned out, but I haven't done much testing yet. The clipping problem only happens when you turn your head all the way to the side. I'll see if I can get a pbo sent out later for testing.

Updated T-72 uploaded to Super for testing. Turn out is enabled, but the driver is sitting on top of the tank chillin with his legs stretched out lol.

Well you will just need to move over to the Russian side then.
