Hi, IF correct, great news for the Belgian players ! Is that a BEL camo in the video (guess so) ?

YES. Both DF30 and DF90 have been implemented and will be part of the coming release. If you want to prepare for that, check out the Austrian LMV that you already have, with the ERCWS remote weapon station. Same vendor, a good portion of similarities in the UI and menu structure. Bigger (=more fun) calibers, obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hits the fps as hard as shown on high end systems I will have to save for a commercial cluster version 😂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I had to content with 25-35 FPS...and signle digit FPS for "high load cases" in 4.023. Now I'm running 50-60 FPS even with higher graphic settings. Going to heavy load scenarios (smoke, burning buildings and lots of units) I still run above 30. How this will work out for each individual CPU/GPU combination can of course differ...but there will be an improvement for most users. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the case, 2 playable tanks would be enough 😉 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me testing new equipment implemented in the updates is part of the fun IE, would the cannon on the DF-90 stand a chance against say T-72 frontal amour If so at what range. etc Yes i am a Armour geek and proud.

It doesn't seem like there's much of a difference in capabilities. Unless I'm missing something, please fill me in. I don´t know in detail the DF 90, but at least there is a huge difference in firepower. The Centauro (Italian, btw, not spanish although in service in my country) has a true 105 mm tank gun. Quite powerful. I don´t know if the DF 90 has a low pressure 90 mm gun, but at least the caliber is lesser. Appart from this, you may not be interested in this kind of vehicles, but what if I say "you have already the Leopard 2, I don´t know why we need an M1, not much difference in capabilities". And please understand that I don´t intend to critizise your comment, I´m just trying to say that they are two completely different vehicles, even if they are of the same type. And therefore, interesting to have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Many country's do not deploy there heavy Armour in peace keeping operations. etc But still may need fire support. A platform like the DF-90 would be well suited for the role. I like to use the centuro. But in the role it was designed for as a tank destroyer I really hope we also get some of the french armored support vehicles as well something like the AML-90 out of service with modern armies now. But idea for retro type missions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond_Villian Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) The DF90 in the video above looks like a good proxy for the Ratel90 seen below (with some of the tech knocked off of it). Edited May 22, 2019 by Bond_Villian 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted May 22, 2019 Members Share Posted May 22, 2019 You won't get to see this in version 4.1, at least not in this form. But I thought it was a neat illustration of the cannon danger zone from sabot petals as we're simulating them. The challenge was that the sabot separation itself happens rather quickly "between frames" so the initial movement appears linear when it's actually shaped more like a trumpet. After that first frame we then let the petals fly with realistic masses and different material properties such as PE (Nylon), carbon fiber, or (mostly) aluminum. Needless to say, a 1.3 kilogram heavy aluminum petal has a much higher destructive potential than a 3 gram piece of plastic (still traveling at supersonic velocities, though). Air drag still needs to be increased a bit to reduce the max range of the petals compared to this shot by about 30 or 40%, but still. Yes, overpressure near the muzzle will of course also be harmful to nearby infantry, or trucks. So, MBTs on convoy protection will need to act with a bit more discretion before applying their firepower. And while we're making the sabot petals dangerous, we limit this to tanks where human players are responsible for weapon use - commanders, gunners. Otherwise the petals fly through the AAR and create puffs of dust where they hit the ground during the execution phase. You'll see that in some of our future YouTube videos. In other news, more variety for terrain themes. We will ship SB Pro PE with a few dedicated "African" themes for your Toyota wars, with termite hills, acacia trees. One day, giraffes (just not in version 4.1). I hope you'll like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the battle of Cuito Cuanavale. Would make an excellent mini MP campaign. T-55s /BTRs Cuban (FAPLA) forces DF-90 and shot Cals ( Olifant) for the South African forces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cuito_Cuanavale 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
