[Rel] PT-1 MBT - Garry's Mod

This is my first adv dupe release since 2009. This is a public release of an ACF tank to be used by all. This is a contraption, built from the ground up, it isn't a model or a vehicle. It will only work on servers with the list of requirements stated in the field manual (any good ACF server will contain all of the necessary mods/tools). [t]http://i.imgur.com/mj9yuZX.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/UETOkuB.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RreTvAo.jpg[/t] Installation: Drop PT1 MBT 45t folder into into data/advdupe2. Usage: Load with ADVANCED DUPLICATOR 2. This is not a Garry Dupe. There are two versions, one with physical wheels, one without. Use the lowlag one when the server is too loaded. It cuts off half of the lag of the tank. I also wrote a manual for it, it's located above the tank when you spawn it. Controls are spoken into chat when you get in the tank as well. Here's the manual: [quote] Welcome to your new PT-1 Main Battle Tank! Here's a quick overview of the vehicle. Specifications: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Role: MBT Mass: 45,000 KG Propcount: 75 Server usage (In): 550-650in, 300-400 lowlag variant Physical mass: 29% Armament: 100mm Cannon, 24 rnds AP, 9 HE Secondary: 2x7.62mm MG , 917 rnds Tertiary: 4x 40mm Smoke discharger Powerplant: 19L V8 Diesel, Fueled Fuel capacity: 36 gal / 136L Drivetrain: 6 speed forward/reverse, neutral steer capable Climbing angle: 55 degrees from vertical Top speed: 42 mph / 67 kph Armor type(s): Steel plate, non-composite Armor, Front hull: 120-200mm Armor, Side hull: 30-60mm Armor, rear hull: 30mm Armor, roof: 20-40mm Armor, turret front: 125-300mm Armor, turret side: 30mm Armor, turret rear: 30mm Elev/depression: 30/10 degrees Design: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a Main Battle Tank. Its most useful role is to combat other tanks. It won't do you much good against aircraft, and the armor is too thin to deal with close quarters infantry attack. The PT-1 was designed to be mobile, and strike quickly, and fight from a distance, so protection was traded for mobility. The PT-1's structure consists of the bottom hull plate and both side armor plates of the hull for structure. The gun is rope-turreted to the side armor plates for rigidity. If the baseplate is lost the tank will still function but will not move. Tips: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can hold the brake to rev the engine and dump the clutch. The PT-1 is very agile, it may drift on occasion. You can make it slide by letting off the throttle and turning hard. Keep your sides away from the enemy, they are weak! Don't be afraid to drive in reverse often. It will go as fast in reverse as it does forwards. Smoke is semiautomatic, each press fires 1 launcher out of four. Be careful when fighting on uneven terrain. Stopping and firing from a downslope makes your armor less effective and a greater chance of being shot through the roof. Hull down whenever you can. The PT-1 can depress the gun to 10 degrees, quite good for shooting over hills. When the tank runs out of fuel, it will continue to drive, but with 25% less engine output. It may not shift gears properly. Please don't claim this vehicle as your own! I put a lot of effort into my first vehicle release since 2009. Notes: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the server is loaded, please use the low lag variant! The wheels may appear to not move, but they do. They are parented, this reduces server lag immensely. Controls: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Movement: WASD Brake: Jump Turret Lock: Flashlight Change ammo: R Primary: M1 Secondary: M2 Pop smoke: Alt Camera: Shift Zoom: Crouch Cam distance: Scroll wheel Fade roof: / (numpad) Credits: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Build/Design: Karbine E2: Turret control: Kickasskyle, Stevejobs, Fervidusletum, Karbine Mobility control: Kickasskyle, Karbine Auxilliary functions: Kickasskyle, Fervidusletum, Karbine Display: Thomas TTC, Tibbles, Karbine Due to the messy nature of the chips used, I have them hidden. The tank is for release, not the electronics.

That's a really neat tank mate.

I'd like suggestions for things to release, or modifications to the PT-1. I was thinking of an AA variant

AA version would be cool. You could maybe add a version that uses simpler, public E2s and removes a few of the advanced features (like the automatic tranny). That'd give people new to ACF a solid baseline vehicle/codebase to tinker with and learn from, along with a couple goals (readding the advanced features).

I was thinking about releasing my chips, but they're pretty complicated to tune.
