Description:
This addon contains M1A1HC (Heavy Common) and M1 in several paint schemes.

A lot time has passed since last update of M1A1HA but we finally managed to finish the new version. Although it doesn't have Tank Fire Control System, new interiors or even new backpacks on turrets Crazy Hussars Team hope that you will like this new version.
This new version have been completely reworked. File structure, class names, model sections and scripts have been changed.


Features:

- models based on BIS sample models
- loader position with mounted M240
- custom markings
- custom textures
- custom parts
- new armor values
- new ammo values
- new sounds
- main gun recoil
- FLIR system (need to be turned on via command line)
- Smoke screen by Xeno (need to be turned on via command line)

Installation:
To use this addon simply put ch_m1abrams.pbo and ch_m1abrams_cfg.pbo with
theirs bisigns in Addons folder. Also Extended Init Eventhandlers by Solus and
Killswitch are required.
Additionally if you do not like new sounds provided with the addon you can use
optional configuration files that can be found in no_sounds folder. Thanks to those
files M1A1HC and M1 will use default ArmA sounds or sounds from your favorite
sound mod.


Included .pbo files:
ch_m1abrams.pbo
ch_m1abrams_cfg.pbo
Extended_Eventhandlers.pbo


Key:
This is a signed addon, the server key is included in this download.


Usage:
New Abramses can be found under CH � Armored (West) and CH � Armored
(Independent) class in mission editor. Note that some classes do not have paint
scheme described in their name while they use same texture as some of the other
tanks (e.g. M1A1HC and M1A1HC (NATO)). Those classes should be used with
custom textures feature.

For more information on how to use them please check theirs ReadMe files.


Notes:
Unfortunately this new version will not be compatible with old missions.
