What-If Cold War Mod (French Faction BETA)

[titi]

Mr War can you upload a blend file with a tank for us? I have absolutely no clue how you animate the chains  .
I am very curious how you solved this. ( or just send it to me :-D    " info at titusgames.de " )

[ElimiNator]

I don't think he did animate the treads, just made them black and had the rims spin.

[Mr War]

the tank tracks? They are not animated. I did animate them in Industarons and Imperial, but not impressive

[titi]

yes, sorry tank tracks is the right word 
Can I have one which is somehow animated? I just want to see how its done.

[Mr War]

Here's the way I used for the Industaron's tank. http://www.mediafire.com/?84w54c39j2bgobe

Beta released  - see first post

[big]French Units[/big][/color]

Sapeur

Combat Engineer (Sapper) unit capable of gathering resources, as well as building and repairing buildings. Unarmed.

Fusilier

Standard infantry troop armed with MAS-49 assault rifle.

AA-52 GPMG

Machine gunner armed with AA-52 7.62mm general purpose machine gun.

ENTAC anti-tank missile

The ENTAC is a first generation man-portable anti-tank missile first deployed in 1950s. France was an early leader in this class of weapon.

Milan

Second generation man-portable anti-tank missile. The system was highly effective and can be considered as a serious contender for best in class. The Milan is one of the french Faction's strengths.

Panhard AML-60

Basic armored car for scouting and fire support, armed with 60mm main gun. France developed and deployed a wide range of armored cars.
Reality-check: The AML 60 was superseded by the more powerful AML-90 armed with a 90mm gun. This is not included in the mod due to balancing

AMX-13

Highly successful light tank with distinctively french oscillating turret. The |13| is a reference to the weight in tons.

AMX-13 with SS-11 missiles

Upgraded AMX-13 with 4 anti-tank missiles ready to fire.

AMX-13 DCA

AMX-13 chassis with twin Hispano-Suiza HS-831 30mm cannons for anti-aircraft use

F-3 Howitzer

155mm howitzer mounted on modified AMX-13 chassis. Has long ranged and is very powerful against infantry and most buildings but lightly defended

AMX-50 Medium Tank

!950s french medium tank (/main battle tank) armed with an excellent 90mm main gun in a French-style oscillating turret. The design owes much to German WW2 Panther tank, with clear hull similarities and the same engine.
Reality-check: The AMX-50 was developed with several rival chassis although all based on the panther. Some were armed with a 120mm gun in a much larger turret. Although the program was credible, it was abandoned in favor of importing American M-47 tanks.

ARL-44 heavy tank

Heavy tank developed in the last years of WW2 after France was liberated. Uses a German engine and pre-war style French tracks. Heavily armored early in the game, but slow and less mobile
Reality-check: The ARL-44 was not a successful design. Despite an excellent gun, the chassis was outdated and the type was replaced after only a couple of years of service

[Mr War]

Has anyone tried this beta? Keen to incorporate feedback.

There will soon be a USSR faction to play against.
