wierd, more damaged tank is faster than intact one

Random_dragon · 2015-08-18T21:45:34.000Z

Hmm. No idea if broken parts have less weight, but that would do it. Especially if the treads are partially FUBAR. XP

I love this mod and it’s now on my mandatory list. The tanks themselves are implemented about as well as they could be in Cata’s current engine, and they’re an absolutely amazing source of salvage.

Random_dragon · 2015-08-24T04:58:14.000Z

Ah, tanks very much (huehuehue).

I had hoped that the implementation would look nice. As the self-propelled howitzer might demonstrate, the vehicle mechanics don’t translate as well into anything resembling a conventional tank floorplan, whereas the other major tanks show a design that looks better in Cataclysm style. XP

Also ponder that autocannon idea. Whether to add a new IFV, or see if I can overwritte the MICs…

Onisuzume · 2015-08-24T16:29:39.000Z

Autocannons would be nice, yes.
Tank museums for random encountering might also be nice, and possible a place to dump lower-calibre tank guns in (autocannons too).

Just something I thought up not too long ago.

Random_dragon · 2015-08-24T16:37:41.000Z

Tank museum. Hmm, that actually sounds like an interesting idea. o.O

EDIT: Now, if I could find any good info on the layout of typical IFVs…it’s either that, or make another Mekava-like which is easier.

Onisuzume · 2015-08-24T18:23:38.000Z

Well, the BTR-70 (maybe others) got a hatch at the rear, I think (could be wrong), and between the centre wheels (and you’re expected to leave through there while the BTR is moving).

If you’re looking at a tank museum, here’s a start. Cutaways of a T-34, M4 Sherman, Panzer IV, and a Panther minus turret. Best I could do quick, but I’m not home at the moment, so…

To supplement that, here’s a few for the Type 3 Chi-Nu:
Link 1, Link 2, and Link 3.

No idea about the odds of seeing one in murika, though, but anyhow, one of my favourite tanks.

Random_dragon · 2015-08-24T19:23:44.000Z

Ah. Could be helpful. Should’ve checked this sooner, I’d already been adapting the light tank’s layout to make an IFV. ;A;

Great job with the tanks!! Really enjoyed tuning the little atomic one
The only drawback I see is that .308 and .50 are now by far the most common ammunition.
Is there a way to add more randomness in the amount of ammo you find in a tank ?

Random_dragon · 2015-09-05T01:07:30.000Z

Easiest way would be adding some variation in what guns are mounted on the vehicles. Granted, most were modelled after real-life vehicles which do love the hell out of the M2 and M240.

Xfin · 2015-09-20T02:21:47.000Z

Here just encountered something where your APFSDS’s wasn’t overkill… one should never annoy dancing zombies…

yet to hit anything with any of the reloaded shells unless it was right next to the cannon

Random_dragon · 2015-09-20T02:30:27.000Z

That’s a recurring issue with mounted weapons, having trouble getting a reliable hit. This is magnified with the reloaded, lower qualitity shells.

And…yeah. Good luck killing the zombie dancers with ANYTHING.

Xfin · 2015-09-20T02:35:33.000Z

…i will complete my bestiary of kills!..(hopefully)

Random_dragon · 2015-09-20T02:56:38.000Z

Oh damn.

WHAT did you hit them with?

Xfin · 2015-09-20T03:06:45.000Z

Ah right. Guaranteed Fun if if hits? X3

Glad to see I’ve yet to be proven wrong in that item’s statement. o3o
