Well it's pretty much a box at the moment

2019-03-16 16:01:23 UTC  

You can see parts of it in the Buffel image

2019-03-16 16:01:28 UTC  

open the original and zoom in

2019-03-16 16:01:48 UTC  

lolz. i remember a bit more than a box

2019-03-16 16:01:56 UTC  

Alright will do a render quick

2019-03-16 16:01:57 UTC  

will do so

2019-03-16 16:04:22 UTC  

Standard buffel is the open engine compartment

2019-03-16 16:04:49 UTC  

Rhino upgrade is the enclosed engine and better driver compartment

2019-03-16 16:11:02 UTC  

so rhino upgrade is the way to go

2019-03-16 16:11:40 UTC  

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

2019-03-16 16:12:05 UTC  

oky

2019-03-16 16:12:33 UTC  

then i guess we'r running the basterds over

2019-03-16 16:13:00 UTC  

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

2019-03-16 16:13:27 UTC  

it looks good thb

2019-03-16 16:13:30 UTC  

tbh

2019-03-16 16:13:39 UTC  

Indeed either run them over or shoot them. That's how it was done back then and how it'll be done in SABW: Operation Savannah 😉

2019-03-16 16:14:11 UTC  

😎

2019-03-16 16:14:54 UTC  

That mesh grid will have to become a texture as it would be a complete waste to have it as polygons

2019-03-16 16:15:09 UTC  

A texture with an alpha map applied

2019-03-16 16:16:33 UTC  

oky

2019-03-16 16:18:26 UTC  

There is also the flatbed Buffel which I assume was used for logistics?

2019-03-16 16:18:40 UTC  

Then the Mk II variant with the enclosed rear cabin

2019-03-16 17:08:36 UTC  

Mk2 is The moffel

2019-03-16 17:08:45 UTC  

Since having a roof is mof

2019-03-16 17:10:09 UTC  

I've never seen it used in the Border War though at least no images for reference.

2019-03-16 17:13:04 UTC  

It wasnt used

2019-03-16 17:13:12 UTC  

Was marketed for export

2019-03-16 17:13:26 UTC  

Think a couple were devved in the 80s

2019-03-16 17:13:49 UTC  

Makes sense then why I haven't seen any references of it over in Angola or SWA.

2019-03-16 17:13:51 UTC  

But by then the mamba was a thing anyway

2019-03-16 17:15:09 UTC  

You gonna dev the mamba lol

2019-03-16 17:19:23 UTC  

Ja was it used in the war?

2019-03-16 17:20:04 UTC  

US forces also used it as the Nyala. Never seen any pics of it in the Border War either

2019-03-16 17:20:15 UTC  

Not operationally no

2019-03-16 17:20:28 UTC  

Was used in the troubles in the early 90s
