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

it looks good thb

tbh
