Aren't the Ukrainians also using cope cages?

@Carl its a attachto to an animation iirc.

It’s hilarious how uninformed people try and defend these cages and say that the cages are useful as standoff armour against ATGMs. Meanwhile several countries with top tier militaries add actual working APS to their armoured vehicles.


Without opening it up, how did you address the turret to get it to turn? attachto and referenced a specific vehicle part?

The first appearance of the cope cages was to counter Javelin missiles. Which they did not stop...

Yes the US uses slat armor but they don't build cages for their crew to get stuck under around their turrets...

It’s hilarious how uninformed people and corrupt/ biased media tried to make fun of these cages and say that the cages are pointless and refer to them as “cope cages” meanwhile several countries with top tier militaries like Israel even use these cages. Even the US uses Slat armor for added protection. But I can go on & on of what the fake news talks about. Nevertheless thank for the comp!

It is a composition not a mod. You will not be able to find this in the garade. You will need to open the 3DEN Edtior and spawn it in as a composition.

Hmm. I don't see the cope age inside garage t-72b3

@Pvt. Parts it should spawn in ready to use unless the classname of the RHS tank changed in the meantime.

how do I even get it onto the tank?
Per_von_Harke  [author] Nov 9, 2023 @ 1:28am 
I sure can do that, thank you for the idea. That will have to wait until friday though, as I am not able to play Arma until then.

Do you think you can do another Cope Cage composition for the M4 Slammer (Merkava) and IFV-6c Panther (Namer)? There's some footage in Gaza showing them being fitted onto the turret to fend off against drone attacks
Per_von_Harke  [author] Oct 24, 2023 @ 12:12am 
They were initially fitted against Javelins before and during the early days of the invasion. In the early days drones where not used for Kamikaze attacks.

And in the initial use the cages truly were cope cages since they have been tested to no be able to defeat Javelins with enough probability. Further more Javelins most likely impact the tank at a 45 Degree angle making most of the cages pure drone dropped grenade protection.

There are larger cages that encase the whole vehicle to protect from Lancet etc. Those do work as shown by multiple failed drones caught and photographed hanging in said cages.

One of the issues of fully encasing your tank in cages or netting is that you will block any exit route for the crew, visibility of sensors and of the tank commander if turned out.

Of cause most of the cages also increase the silhouette of the tank itself.

I think cope cages are suppose to be anti drone, Ukraine uses cages for some of their artillery.

@BORJOM1 take a look inside the attributes from the objects.
BORjOM1 Oct 11, 2023 @ 5:23am 
how did you made cope cage rotates with the tank turret?
PizzaCrusher Sep 24, 2023 @ 4:32am 
can you add rubber tyres to aircraft for protection? it would be a funny mod
Per_von_Harke  [author] Aug 27, 2023 @ 1:01pm 
@BIG GUY change the class names in the scripts in the object attributes.

Merci ;)
Grok Sep 6, 2022 @ 11:02am 
Guess I'll have to add two
Per_von_Harke  [author] Sep 6, 2022 @ 10:49am 
To bad most drone munitions will most likely impact at a 45° angle and not at 90°.
Grok Sep 6, 2022 @ 9:24am 
Drone protection? Sure I'll take it!

Lol. Love the description. Poor Rosiyska.
Per_von_Harke  [author] Apr 9, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
@WV It is a composition. You just need to have the mods loaded that are listed on the right side. And then open a map in the 3DEN Editor to find it together with the other compositions you have subscribed to.
WVC Apr 2, 2022 @ 10:23pm 
How to include this mod in the preset? I go to the launcher - nothing was downloaded. What to do?

I love how irl these havent helped reduce Russian tank losses at all and it still makes them an even larger target because of the raised profile of having a rig above the turret XD

On the internet.

Came here for the toxic and luzy comments, was not disappointed.

Keep the meme-worthy mods a flowing!

@Bushcat

The Ukrainians aren't the ones putting Cope Cages on their tanks, now are they?

Cope harder, and maybe Saint Javelin will spare you.
Bushcat Mar 21, 2022 @ 3:07pm 
None of you know shit about anything at the front.
Bombarded by multiple cia/ukraine/russian pop up youtube accounts recycling footage for today.
Sit down and realise that they turned your instant gratification feed off and you are now mainlining .gov disinfo.
Have fun.
Jeffman12 Mar 21, 2022 @ 2:34pm 
Pro-russian fascists using anti-russian fascists as an excuse to bomb civilians is a tale as old as time. Let's just agree the bombing would be better if it was only in a videogame.

Oh, the census of Ukrainians and Nazi sympathizers kids in comments.
Why aren't you guys at the front yet? The Reddit Guys have already been there, they say they liked it
normannobrot Mar 21, 2022 @ 1:17pm 
the cage wouldn't protect from a jaV, so meh
