I have been successful at creating tanks with revolving turrets...
So far there are only a few draw backs (that I will explain in a bit) and overall the new moving turrets are a welcome addition to realism in the sim...
The tanks were more difficult than, say, SAMs or AAA vehicles, because the game has very special command structure for tanks when they engage each other, and creating functional turrets that worked with this narrow definiton of commands was difficult at best, and a nightmare at worst! However I was able to strike a compromise I think you will like!
The tank either moves or stays stationary while the turret revolves and engages targets, destroying them with either direct tank cannon fire or with 50 cal secondary machinegun fire, at the same time firing off smoke grenades to hide their location from enemy tanks (works VERY well against tanks that have only optical targetting and no laser range finders)...
I will post some pics and a short movie as soon as I am done with the new detailed skins...
I hope you will like them!
CAG out...
