[Vehicle] M1A2 Abrams with TUSK [WIP]

[ReaperAce712]

yeah sorry about the speculation but holy **** this looks amazin. Only flaw is that the front of the turret seems a little too steep

[Solid Knight]

I heard in PR all the M1A2 TUSK tanks were equipped with an auto-loader for the main cannon eliminating the need for a dedicated loader.

Source?

[FuzzySquirrel]

Yay, Now you need to learn to Skin, and UV map... !

[Solid Knight]

Source?

"I heard in PR [...]" That's you, so the source would be your own game but this is irrelevant to my point. I was using a fake technology to explain how it was possible for the main cannon to shoot while the loader was using the M240.

[DeltaFart]

haha jaymz you got to serious there )

[Jaymz]

I still don't understand what you mean Solid Knight , I'm a bit slow today mate. I guess you mean that someone in a PR server told you that?

[Scot]

I think he meant he was making it up, but hey I could be being slow, it is 7:30 in the morning here

[Solid Knight]

Eh, how else would you explain it? There isn't a loader in the current tanks so how do they automagically reload the shells? Gnomes? The invisible man? Perhaps an auto-loading mechanism?

Wildstar, ingame the setup would be :

Position 1 - Commander/Driver : In PR we combine these roles into one seat for combat effectiveness and to preserve player limitations. In your TUSK variant the commander would be able to switch to the CROWS system by "selecting" it (e.g no.1 = commander periscope view, no.2 = CROWS optical view)

can that really be done/coded? i hear that you couldnt put the hmg under the driver/comander control since it was a child for the turret , not the hull, or something like that .

Make it a child of the driver and position it on the turret. Although, would it rotate with the turret?

Pretty sure it's possible Heavy.

Anywho, the loader is essentially simulated. I mean, c'mon. You hear a dude yell "UP!" when the round is ready. Not even vBS simulates loaders as a playable position if I recall correctly. We may as well make all players type up AAR's after every round if we were to take it that far

I know, hence the comment about the tanks having an automatic loading mechanism. They don't need loaders.

This once is finished will be the win of the Uparmored series : HMMVVE, VN3, GAZ-69 and now the M1A2 TUSK ... Leopard TUSK anyone?

[Swe_Olsson]

you could have the crows follow the commander camera

[77SiCaRiO77]

Pretty sure it's possible Heavy.

heavy?

so that means that , for t90 and ztz99 , the hmg can be controled by the driver, so we could simulated the fact that those 2 tanks use less crew than a C2 or m1a2 ?

i hope yes

For some reason, from the side, it looks to short length wise, and too high to me.

[ice_killer]
