DarkLabor Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 What are you DarkLabor...a librarian by trade?:debile2: :biggrin:No, but I try to imitate Deja's work for modeling the Leclerc:http://img47.xooimage.com/files/d/3/f/pupitres-tireur-1f25244.jpghttp://img44.xooimage.com/files/5/f/e/int03-6-1dcb81b.jpgSo, as Dejawolf (I guess), I've got my reference pictures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 12, 2010 Today's playable vehicle is totally unspectacular, which is quite the point of it. The FOV90 looks the same as a CV90/40, in SB both on the inside and the outside, but its function is that of an artillery observer vehicle (of course, in real life the interior is different, but we decided to do this on the cheap. Besides, from a functional point of view it really doesn't make a difference). You can dismount an observer team, or stay mounted, with a gunner's and a commander's position. The gunner determines target coordinates with the laser, then pushes the data to the commander with his trigger/space bar, so that the commander can then use the last three lased coordinates in his call for fire dialog box.Since there is nothing visually new I decided not to post screenshots. I'm sure, your imagination is vivid enough (and if not, look up the CV90/40 in the Steel Beasts version that you already have). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasder Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Will the FOV90 use the C or B version as visual model? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted August 13, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2010 So the gun tube is useless?Well, it might scare someone away so, no, it is not totally useless. More importantly though, it makes this vehicle look uniform with other CV9040-C, which I think is the main purpose of it being on there (so the FO vehicle doesn't stick out from the rest and draw fire). If you instead mean to ask if the gun functions then, no, it does not go bang bang. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted August 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2010 Not everything in that video is guaranteed to make its way into this SB Pro PE version. It is, after all, a video about the classroom version. Then again, sharp eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M981 transports a G/VLLD. The turret is designed to resemble that of the M901, making the vehicle less conspicuous to enemy gunners. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m981.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Today's beans to be spilled have a caliber of 40mm. Definitely going to have "Stryker" based on Piranha IIIC now that I can field both 40mm and 0.50" options. Centauro might a bit too good to be a MGS "stand in" though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Interestingly, we now have two halves of the LT105, with the ASCOD chasis, and the Centauro (OTO Melara LRF) turret. Unfortunately there's no real world customers for that variant yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Retro Posted August 14, 2010 Members Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) So will the Protector RWS in PRO PE be retired (at least for the time being)? And will all vehicles which offered the "RWS" option now use Lemur (with/without Pilar, and with either .50 or 40mm)?

koga Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 A question on the lemur.....Now is it something that some troops shooting rifles at it will break it [camera or turret system] and then you got a PC with an unusable gun or is there a manual firing mode like on the M113 commander position and shoot with iron sights? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2010 So will the Protector RWS in PRO PE be retired ...?The Protector remains an option, just without a gunner's place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
