[Vehicle / Weapon] WZ551A with QJC-88 12.7mm MG

[Rhino]

Hey all, today I present to you the WZ551A (note, not the WZ551) and the QJC-88 12.7mm MG which many of our team members have been working on over the past few months.

WZ551A

The WZ551A will act as the new "Light APC" for the PLA, much like the Stryker dose for the US Army, the difference being between them is that the WZ551A has a small turret / shield around the gunner and the Stryker has a RWS on its HMG but both offer more or less the same protection to the gunner, apart from of course the RWS offers slightly more.

Please note, that the "WZ551" which is currently ingame with the Cannon turret will still be present ingame, just that the new WZ551A will also be along side it.

The WZ551A was made off the vbf2 WZ551 by simply removing the current turret via code and adding on a new custom made turret also via code. This means that no model edits where made to the WZ551 and it still uses the same mesh and textures for the WZ551A just the new custom turret has been added ontop.

QJC-88 12.7mm MG

The QJC-88 is a 12.7mm Machine Gun (MG) that is fitted onto many Chinese Military Vehicles including the WZ551A which is designed to engine both ground and air targets. With it being able to aim 85degs up into the air, helicopters should be very wary of this threat. For now this MG is only fitted to the WZ551A but in the future we plan to fit this MG onto many more Chinese Vehicles.

Modelled and Skinned by two of our newest Contributors, [R-CON]in3d and [R-CON]Alina_Gal who also both did the 30mm rounds that are on the vehicle depo, the QJC-88 is easily one of our highest quality MGs in the mod. [R-CON]in3d is a professional Game Artist who has worked on titles such as the Unreal Tournament series. [R-CON]I.N is also helping out [R-CON]Alina_Gal with putting together a portfolio to get into the Games Industry. We hope they will both be doing much more work towards Project Reality in the future.

Wow, like it very much...

[Matze:O:G:H]

great work
looking forward to 0.9

[Dougalachi]

looks cool, but looks like headshotting the gunner while he is shooting at you wont be too hard. I could be wrong though.

problem is, its only is head you really have a option to shoot at, and he needs to be more or less looking at you to shoot him in the head which means, he is probably shooting you with his big *** MG

[HeXeY]

Nice work, looking forward to the next release. As always

[TJ-XRL]
