    Just focus on the 3 main tracked vehicles for each side. Forget CVs for now.

    BE heavy is done I think... on to Med.

    edit:
    grrr... changes mostly complete on med... I need to adjust the shocks though. They make the tank rock too much on tight turns... if you shoot a cannon while turning you can overturn the tank... kinda funny actually and possibly could happen IRL.

    As long as they're pretty stable then I'm pretty happy. Try not to ruin the turning circle, tanks should be able to turn pretty tightly even at top speed.

    Indeed. The Spartacus school of handling goes like this:

    • Make a massive change.
    • Check to see that the vehicle doesn't fly/flip itself/not move.
    • Commit that shit.

    But seriously though, 3phase causes SO many problems. You can get away with some glaring bugs as long as you aren't going fast.

    This should be released. If people get pissed just say the wrong file got uploaded.
    would love to see this on a full server.
    How's screwed is 3 phase. On turns?

    Ib4 your teammates loose tanks to sharp turns faster than to enemy action.

    Its the 3phase that causes the turns to be dangerous while shooting. PS I lowered top speed on med tanks 3phase to 95kph from 100... may make it 90.
    BTW this is all using scout speed.

    Is this going to make NF meds too easy for BE to flip?

    what? I am talking about BE med tanks flipping not NF. The enhanced weight I gave them makes it difficult to make high speed turns with its tiny width. If it was wider like the NF meds this would not be an issue.

    odd if its heavier shouldnt it be harder to flip?
    how is the center of mass determined, sounds like its not fitting the model ...

    Holy sh@t...... I thought you was basically just copy/past and minor change.
    Didn't realize you was completely doing different settings for each faction.
    Any chance a video?

    The center of the mass is the center of the model unless I misunderstand it. I do have the ability to change the center of the mass script wise however it really does effect hill climbing.

    Loading up a car with a shit ton of crap and then having the car perform a turn as if it was not loaded WILL result in a flip or going off the road or a broken wheel/axle at the least.

    I am changing the vehicle weights so that a jeep can't push any other vehicle other then a jeep. The tanks will be able to push the lower tiered vehicles. Heavies can push a med... med can push a jeep. Will probably give arty just a tad more wight then a jeep I duno... I want them to get fucked around with.

    Currently uploading a video of med getting flipped easy. Will edit when done.

    Sound is bad so lower it a bit.

    What happened to the "no downsides" antiflip mechanism that you kept secret?

    it only works when your driving? Besides, its more like flip resistant not anti-flip. When your driving its a light touch to help correct you.
