is it just me..or the top color there looks a little funny.."shiny" or something like that....maybe use another color?

other than that..the unit itself is pretty good

 

[Eliminator]

Woeoooeeehoooee look at that baby go!

Btw. will u do the T55 to?

 

[aaglo]

wow... look at that mud flying when it runs...

Papajohns - of course it shines, it's brand new

 

[Fëanor]

omg , i was hesitating when i saw this thread (i though why bother enter , its just another of those tanks...) but this it thruly an awsome job. only the death anim is not really good (i really like the death anim of your m113 cant you do somethink in that style )

 

[zulu9812]

that is a superb model

 

[John Falkner]

Great unit!

There is still a problem with the animations of your M1A2. Maybe you can help us.


My request is a russian T-72

 

[snowmelk]

excellent

I think there is already a Challenger 2, so now we also have the Challenger 1. What are the differences/modifications between these to tanks?

 

[ripptide]

As far as I know, the majority of the modifications are internal (better fire control etc) but there were some changes made to the turret shape and some minor ones to the hull. And of course, the basic model of both the 1 and the 2 look a bit different when you have the bolt on armour added. I just think the Challenger is a kick-*expletive deleted* tank

 

[Lynx-Eyed]

Actually most of the modern battle tanks (Leclerc, Challenger, M1A2) are modifications of the german Leopard, it was the first tank with a BK 120 mm canon which is used by the most of these.

Uh, not really... Other than both the Leopard 2 and the Abrams both have their roots in the MBT-70 project, and use some form of Chobham armor, there is no relation between the four designs. The M1A1 adopted the German gun, but the other guns are different. The British is even rifled.

ripptide: Any ETA on the european version of this nice tank?

 

[BeBro]

Your tanks look simply amazing, ripptide

 

[aaglo]

Yes, they indeed do

 

[Risbinroch]

I really hate to bring up an old thread if this is, but have you made an euro version? the search function on this site does not work...

Very nice unit btw!

 

[ripptide]

Sorry, not yet Risbinroch, but I intend to clean up as many of the ongoing things as possible over the christmas holidays, so hopefully soon (I know I know, heard that b4 )
