Reactive armour on tanks

[Zoddom]

I noticed it when i watched the 0.85 teaser.
i looked at the T-90 and thought.."That looks bizare.." At first i didnt know why, but then i saw some pics and noticed, that no PR heavy-tank is equiped with reactive armour. Its just a suggestion for the models, not for gameplay-changes. It would just look pretty nice and more realistic

gotta remake the tank models that were made by EA first, can't just modify their models.

[Zoddom]

? but they have already been changed? and in addition they built a challenger tank themselves, so where should be the porblem?

[Neo_Mapper]

cant you just "connect" it with the ea model? Didn't you do the same with the us blackhawk? just attached some little pieces to let it look more epic

Well I dont know much about modeling, but this just cam into my mind ;D

skinning is allowed, but changing the actual model is not without express permission of EA/DICE, I'm unsure of the situation regarding the tiny changes to the blackhawk, I think thats something to do with something modlers call 'children'

But afaik there is a T80 being made, a thingy for the chinese, and a very VERY nice m1a1 being made as well by community members. So I'm sure they may use the lastest armour configurations.

you, my idea wasnt making gameplay-changes with this armour.
and i think this armour could count as child.
just 2 textures would be needed, there dont have to be 100 little blocks, it could be one whole ... "entity", dunno what its called in case of modelling

As far as I know, not all reactive armor looks like that. The reactive bits is just another layer that looks like the main armor.

As far as I know, the American reactive armour, which is included in the Urban Combat kit (or whats the name), looks like the one i posted, only a bit bigger charges

Isn't that a Georgian T-72? i think they went a little overboard with the reactive armor boxes on that.

[jbgeezer]

Sure got that right Kinglorre

TUSK right? cptwildstar is making a TUSK/non-TUSK version I think, but don't quote me there

[77SiCaRiO77]

sure why not, I was reading the slat armour thread and they said you just make it another material with unique properties

[V4.SKUNK]

Challenger2 doesn't use ERA any more in reality though.
We just need some one to model the new CR2 upgrades.
Here is a video of what i'm talking about.

erm like i said..
it doesnt have to explode, when you hit it.... for me. just the polygones and textures would be enough for me
@Rudd:
