Not the army ones

He said the shittest job on a ratel was changing the diffs

I can imagine! I've been reading Eye of the Firestorm by Roland de Vries. (thick ass book) and he mentions the Tiffies on numerous occasions

Yeah on the Kwêvoëls

The Kwêvoël is going to be an absolute monster to model... I'm leaving it for last 😬

Ja good luck man 😁

Thanks! I'll need it.

@Kooijpolloi Looks like 101 Battalion used Casspirs as seen here

Hmm nice

Incoming update on the Casspir in two mikes

Jirr did you sleep lol

Nope 😐

I model late at night. No distractions that way.... As my PC is in the lounge at the moment. Am going to move my PC into my bedroom soon

And also getting a new PC so I can finally move on from this potato.

hahaba he said potato

😂

Hahaha nice

Im trying to get a job so i can get some fuckin internet again

Agh shame man. Good luck with that china.

lets give him an apple

lol

sorry

you have to laugh once a while

Nice

@Springbok yeah the Kwêvoel is going to be hectic

But you can do iiiiitttttt😀

will we have guns on top or not

@Boomninja Yes there will be.

oky cool

@Boomninja You wanted to see whether weapons would be mounted on the Casspir? Well here is a taste. This is the M2a1 which'll be on there along with the M1919, FN MAG and a few others. Luckily I don't have to model most of them as they are already in Squad. Although the m1919 is in Post Scriptum... Not sure if I can use that in a Squad mod otherwise I'll just model my own m1919.

The shield will of course change as that is a modern version not seen on the Casspir

Beautifull

Looks like there is some interest in using this in the troopers mod @Springbok

jip

Trooper mod?

its arc trooper mod. its like the movie arc troopers

Never heard of it 😬

its shit thb

but the first time AI was put into squad

Ah ok. Oh it's that Sci Fi mod right?

yea

movie was starship troopers i think [must have seen that] 🤖 cant remember if it was good though

yea thats the name i forgot it

they even had a sequel

Keen to see these two girls riding alongside each other in the bushveld soon.

just do it

that looks nice

The Buffel makes me cry though... Why... did they design her with an exposed engine... Modeling engines is not easy!

id believe that lol

In game, at the moment, it would be a promlem. I tnink it is the emrap, you can see the engine just in front of the suspension, and you can even use a knife to disable it

That's why in the mod I want players to be able to drive over enemies and kill them that way

As it was a tactic used in the Border War. Would be silly not to have that option to just squash any sneaky guys trying to do that.

i have seen some of the buffels with closed engines so that would help too if it can be closed

Buffel engine...

when its cloced

That's a Rhino IIRC?

Or Moffel

@Kooijpolloi will probably know.

well doesnt matter cause they were fast af for troop deployment

The chances of getting up to a Buffel to stab its engine is unlikely unless the crew have the situational awareness equivalent to a sloth.

lol

It is vulnerable to small arms fire though...

you could also decide how mush detail is needed 'in game', enough to be immersed, without impacting game performance ect...

I can see enemy players zoning in on the engine at least from certain angles. There is an armour plate covering the right side

Ja true. I will have to optimize the model a lot. The engine won't be as detailed as it is in reality. But the general shape will be as accurate as I can get it

As for RPG's they often caused through and through effects on the hull of the Buffel due to how thin the armour is

I'm certain that would piss off a lot of players though if they shoot the rear cabin only for it to kill one troop and exit the other side

send a pick of engine in current state pls cant remember how it looks at the moment .... at least some should survive a mine though ... bit of a trade-off

Well it's pretty much a box at the moment

You can see parts of it in the Buffel image

open the original and zoom in

lolz. i remember a bit more than a box

Alright will do a render quick

will do so

Standard buffel is the open engine compartment

Rhino upgrade is the enclosed engine and better driver compartment

so rhino upgrade is the way to go

Ja but it wasn't standard in the war as per reference the majority of the Buffels had the exposed engine so that will be the more common variant in the mod

oky

then i guess we'r running the basterds over

Engine looks like kak as you can see 😅 as it drove me on the verge of madness at the time so I never finished it. But will do so once I return to finish the Buffel
