Looks like someone went utterly overboard with the bump map depth.

Lol, you could let a tank roll down the Mount Everest and it would look better...
A bit too many scratches and dents dont you think??

the striker.
Everything else, not so much. The tanks look like they've come out of a war, and no one's decommissioned them. However, if it's possible to get the texture to change to that after taking a shell it would look kewl, but some inside gut feeling makes me think that bf 2 hardcodedness is going to come slap me for even thinking that

whatsup guys. i know the bumpmap is a lil strong but it doesnt look quite as sharp as that ingame. looks a bit diff. the multicam skins i can make dirty. THEY BLEND IN LIKE CRAZY. really great stuff. the digi woodland tank actually workes quite nice. the m1a2 looks great ingame as well. i can always make it les scratched. and besides could be battle damaged. vehicles can get jacked up pretty bad. though of coures if thier not servicable during a PMCS chek then theyd get repaired. but there isnt exactly a motorpool and a mechanics shop in the game lol. its battlefield it can get bumps and scratches i gues. lol. i redid acu's to. but the stryker im proud of. looks a lil less flat ingame.

Stryker is "ok" but i dont' think you can beat the PR skins, real tanks just don't look like that. soldiers should also learn to iron their shirts and "learn to do their tunic up" (sorry too much victorian history there)

These things are covered in armour plating, not tin foil. They just don't scratch and dent like that. Tone down the bump maps a lot and you'll get them looking many times better.
Also, please don't put PR branding on images that aren't from PR. Thanks.

Stryker is excellent, but your tanks look too banged up. Though I have never seen US soldiers wearing uniforms that look anything like the ones in the second pic.

You mean airsoftcam? joking
Multicam is currently in use by some units of the US military's Special Operations Command - Wikipedia
I believe its also used by some Euro force as well.

when i was at airborne school a couple of marines had a deep interest in multicam. one of thier alice packs(ruck sack) was multicam. just because regular forces dont use it doesnt mean nobody does. maybe a sf based map with sf forces vs insurgents in Afghanistan or somthing like that? somtimes they wear dcu. all depends on the team. lol. i appreciate u taking the time to research it on wiki. lol alot of my buddies are waiting for the army to get into it. but they already spent a lot on acu's so might not be fore a while

Yeah, well that is the problem I see, that cos the US Army spent a lot of money on ACU, they might not want to change.
On a completely unrelated thread, CRF you need more snow in your pic:
/offtopic.
Anyway, in reference to OP, as people have said, the tank is waay to much, but the Stryker looks nice, maybe toned down a little bit IMO. But good work.

they will eventually. the army likes to buy stock. and then when they get somthing new theyl keep issuing old stock. and then eventualy the stock will start becoming multicam. THE ARMY. is coming out with acu's with built in turnequets. please forgive the horrid spelling. any how. that be great for me if my a$$ get shot cus then al theyl have to do when i get his is tighten down on a strap on the uniform.

the stryker looks awesome. i think the color of it looks a little too washed out right now.
the abrams looks ridiculous, like a super cat went nuts and clawed the hell out of it.
the army wears ACU. end of story. maybe a few SF guys wear multicam, but PR is a conventional forces game. just because something looks cool doesnt mean it should be added, only what is realistic.
and the t-90 looks awesome as well.

I reckon tone down the stryker's body scratches, but leave the scratches on the tires.

no multicam. I like some damage scratches on the stryker, but M1a1 went overboard.

i think the m1a1 type skin you have would look great on destroyed soft skin statics though
edit: also, you don't touch up your pics do you? it looks a bit like you did, but i could be wrong.

These comments are ridiculous, the bump mapping might be a little over board, but all in all these textures are much more detailed and better than the PR ones...

Now show me a picture of an Abrams rusting that bad that's still in service.
