New Unit: CV90AMOS

BeBro · May 14, 2004

Swedish mechanized artillery unit, equipped with the double-barreled AMOS mortar system.

Please note: due to my lack of time, I didn't test this in the game, but since the anims looked fine in Flicster I released it. Please drop me a note if there are in-game problems with this unit, then I'll fix them

Hm, why aren't those animated gifs displayed directly, while the static preview in the post above is? Or can I choose that somewhere in my profile (it is the first time I'm here since the update to vbb 3).

Nope, its the fact that you posted more than 1 at a time. If you remove one, then the other will be displayed.

I wish I could have had some input in the making of this. I have one qualm. The attack is too peaceful. I've seen this thing on trials and those are BIG guns. They are 2x120mm mortors. They produce a LOT of recoil for such a light unit. It rocks a lot when it fires and there is little or no "flame" out of the barrel, very clean.

Nothing like an explosion with 3 dimensional shrapnel flying off the turret.

Nice death animation...

exactly two month since this unit was first posted and almost two months since the last reply. A little late are we Omni?

Dom Pedro II · Jul 14, 2004

Not to mention the fact that he didn't include any info either...

OmniMower · Jul 15, 2004

Of course Im lil late

...better late than never

But you think I wouldnt post anyway? even if its 2 months old?

unscratchedfoot · Jul 15, 2004

I like this unit but decided not to use it cause of the lack of recoil. If it had a nice deep recoil I'd use it for sure. Yo Bro!! Any chance on a recoil update?

By the way, is it related in any way to Tori Amos? Did she design it or something? Was it named to honor her?

Can't promise an update, but I might do it during the summer

AMOS is for Advanced MOrtar System

aaah, pretty please BeBro ... ah sweet update during the summer would be great!

And yes, AMOS stands for Advanced MOrtas System and is a joint venture between Hägglunds Vehicles, Sweden and Patria, Finland.

I agree with unscratchedfoot, the unit shows your usual attention to detail. but, the reaction from such a large detenation is lacking. looking forward to an update. Thanks for the great unit.

Ok, lil more info bout the awesome lookin CV90AMOS

spirithiker · Jul 16, 2004

Thanks for the info OmniMower. That was an interesting read. I couldn't find any info on it.
