Update: Nov 10 @ 8:23pm

by Retro242

I wasn't planning on updating this again, the unit which i originally made this mod for disbanded and then i got recruited to work on Spearhead, which took up any time I would've had to work on this (assuming I'd even be motivated to begin with) and even when I was done with the CDLC I was honestly pretty tired, generally, of Arma 3 modding. For some reason, i recently decided to look at this mod page and found that it felt, very unfinished, this, along with the fact that there was a lot of room for improvement, motivated me to make this final update, which includes some previously unfinished content, general improvements and some highly requested new content. With all this, i think now, i can be content to leave this as it is.

Now for the changes

Content Additions

- The original BT-7 M1937 and BT-7A have both had substantial model and texture improvements, including the addition of chains on the front, a replacement of the rear shovels, a complete replacement of the Roof mounted and coaxial DT-28 and much more

- The BT-7M has been added, which is a modernisation of the BT-7 M1937 with a new diesel engine giving it improved acceleration and top speed

- The BT-7 M1935 has been added, which is an older version of the BT-7 with the old BT-5 Turret, this comes with a frame antenna for the command variant, this frame antenna is now also available on the BT-7TU M1937

- Captured Finnish variants of both BT-7 variants are now avalible under Wehrmacht including 2 camos with optional markings

- The BT 742(r) and BT 735(r) are now available under Wehrmacht with both Panzergrau and Dunkelgelb camos

- The highly requested BT-42 has been added and is now available under Wehrmacht, it comes with 2 camos with optional markings

Content Changes

There are a lot of small changes some of which ive forgotten but ill try to list the bigger more impactful ones

- The gun-sight for the 45mm has had its visuals improved and is now zeroed correctly up to 1600m and has had its magnification increased up to the correct 2.5x

- The commanders periscope has had its optic changed to a simple cross and its magnification increased

- Custom animations have been added to all turnout positions including the roof mounted DT-28 which should fix previous clipping issues

- Track animations have been improved to try and simulate the loose tracks of BT Tanks

- The suspension has been hardened, this, importantly, should allow the tank to jump a lot better than it could before

- A PPsh, ammo and toolboxes have been added to the tanks inventory by default

- And a lot of small bugs fixed

Enjoy!
