Lamandus has
submitted an updated version of his Improved Tank/APC Armor addon.
This addon increases the armor of all armored units so there are longer fights, more hits and more tactics.
Increased the "track-armor" to avoid the AI from leaving the tanks while it is still in good shape.
4 Versions included:
high - high armor, high tire(tracks-)protection and hull/engine protection
med - bit higher Armor, high tire(tracks-)protection and hull/engine protection. [Old low version]
low - normal Armor, bit higher tire(tracks-)protection and hull/engine protection
vlow - normal Armor, bit higher tire(tracks-)protection and normal hull/engine protection
Changes in this version:- Added RocketBoost for easier killing for infantry but still longer fights in Tankbattles.

thats quite a interesting fact, Jupiter! I could kill a Tank with a javelin without any problems! Thx for the call... I will lower the armor even more now, using a "even lower" version... will be updated shortly (probably, because I increased the hull-armor too, making them very hard to kill... I will change it now!
)
About the last question: how you like it. you can make them though, or more realistic (I thought low was more realistic, but you prove me wrong
Interesting mod but I tried armormaster-low pbo with beta patch 70709 and 3 Javelin soldiers couldn't destroy a T-90 (and the crew inside was still alive!). What is the goal of the mod : to make armored vehicles more realistic (comparatively to vanilla vehicles), or is it to make armored vehicles very tough ?
In one encounter within the urban area a Challenger 2 came under attack from irregular forces with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. The driver's sight was damaged and while attempting to back away under the commander's directions, the other sights were damaged and the tank threw its tracks entering a ditch. It was hit directly by eight rocket propelled grenades from close range and a MILAN anti-tank missile, and was under heavy small arms fire for hours. The crew survived remaining safe within the tank until the tank was recovered for repairs, the worst damage being to the sighting system. It was back in operation six hours later after the repairs. One Challenger 2 operating near Basra survived being hit by 70 RPGs in another incident.
Ergo:stay in a Challenger.....
the update is for all those who think that the armor was far too high (use the Armormaster-low version)
The link is not working, hay.
) meant to be a 100% realistic update. I didn't like the fact, that the tanks were weak as hell (remember OFP1? Jeez, you needed to run!) and I tried to make it a bit more OFP like. Like I wanted to.
@Pots: ok, you don't need to, I won't be upset about it, many ppl wont dl it cos they don't like it. I am glad that there are still ppl who like it.
@cz90: we must devide 2 things: mods: their propose and realism. This mod is not, I repeat NOT (
That was my statement about this discussion. I would like to keep flaming as low as possible and remember: behind every nickname is a human being with feelings...
cheers!
hmmm, well, the infantry can cover rooftops and stuff... never leave a tank uncovered during MOUT! Equals death to the tank in many cases. Do we have a tactics-dedicated forums topic?
We can now Debate about this addon in this post in the fourms.

So that way we can keep this area peaceful:yes
@POTS - Have you ever made an addon yet? If not then shut up. Can I get a admin here to say the rule. Please Keep Stupid Comments and remarks to yourself.
You can still drop a bomb on them. And you call that a proper tactic? :wtf
@hay: get a proper tactics and the tank is one helluva invincible beast
at least 7 infantry men covering it at all times FTW!
BOO TO THIS ADDON! I'm not going to download it.
Thanks Man. This Addon puts the teeth and fear back into tanks.:yes
@hay: yeah, I am working on improving all Wheeled APCs too, perhaps I will release it today (as a v3 update) stay tuned guys
actually, the steps are
1. deploy smoke screen
2. take every usefull thing inside the tank
3. abandon tank and make sure you remember where it is in case later repairs are possible
Oh, and just to remind you... todays launchers are pretty much capable of neutralising the tank with one shot (especially the FGM-148 Javelin and many other guided missiles, including the AGM-114 Hellfire), so if tracks are disabled, it's a matter of time until more hits.
P.S Thanks for the update Lamandus. I hope to see the same soon with wheeled vehicles.:yes
@SGT.cz90-CZ
This and every addon is made for optional download.
Please Do not attack addons/Addon makers. Doing such is a reason why ppl stop making addon for the community. Read the quote from TheVipersFang When he says
