Panzer_Leader Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Pumped to see the M577 making it into 4.1. Perfect for accurate headquarters units. The Cold War just keeps getting hotter in PE! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A staff without coffee is like a human being without blood. Seriously though, the CP stuff looks awesome. Edit - Is there a WARSAW / Eastern equivalent to the M777 / CP setup?

Was a bit of try and Error to get the command-post setup right(ish) as they a 4 individual vehicles. But it looked ok I think. And yeah, tent and M577 are a bit too empty...

Red2112 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Looking real nice 👍 Might need a steering wheel for that ATTV 😁 Yeap, Jetboil does wonders.

Members Ssnake Posted June 2, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2019 I suspect that much of the crazy high-speed driving is to blame on the terrain theme that was set for this map. If you have traction at 100% for all ground plus hardness 100% and bumpiness very low at the same time, well, that certainly helps with top speed. Set the bumpiness to 30%, the traction to 75, the hardness to 85 - I tend to use those as "your average dirt" and then work from there. Too often terrain themes are set for ultimate traction (remember, 100% represents hot rubber on dry, sweeped asphalt/concrete; add a fine layer of sand and dust (like, about everywhere) and you're down some 5% already, and it gets progressively worse from there). With a 4WD car with short wheel base I challenge everyone to drive offroad faster than maybe 40 kph without rattling your teeth out. On a dirt road, maybe 60, on long stretches with minimal undulations maybe 80. If you can drive faster offroad, the terrain mobility parameters are off, plain and simple. Also, of course, driving around on a low-res map helps as well to flatten everything. With LIDAR scan based maps this is more difficult because of all the micro obstacles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iarmor Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Incautious M113 driving (under heavy enemy artillery, without driver periscopes) might cause some damage: (The head bandage, not the eye-patch) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 2, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2019 With 155mm M107 HE rounds, the largest fragments can perforate more than 50mm RHA equivalent (almost 500 fragments will perforate more than 15mm RHAe), sufficient for punching through an M113 even with hatches closed. Keeping the hatches open is, of course, even more dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
