Looking forward to it.
Ex-US Army was in when 5th ID at Ft Polk became the 2nd AD. Moved the unit to Ft Hood then i went to 25ID Hawaii.
(F-Co 502nd Avn Regt) I got there before you guys came to Hood. I was in C C0. 1/67, volunteered with 3/67 to goto NTC a lot. It's a shame 2nd AD is deactivated.....

I uploaded another video to this page: http://www.americasarmor.com/OpOrd.html : AARM Dev 4 Video. GPS is under dev now, the reticle and LRF is no longer viewed in the 3rd person view. Also I added the hull and turret orientation display, which I will be adding a compass to. I may make it small, I guess that's why I am posting here, to get feedback... I also added the ammo count in the GPS view, although I am not sure if it is going to stay. Its a sim so you can pop open the tray and get an estimate of how muxh coax is left so I am not sure about it being at the ready like that. The coax and 50 are now operational with firing systems and their effects. I still need to add the tracers. Check your volumes..

The new video 4 is that a shock wave in front of the gun? I see steam/smoke rising off the gun when firing the 7.62...neat effects. No there is no shock wave on the main gun "yet", I am still working on that effect, and think it would make the blast look a lot better. I also am working on the same effect for the exhaust, as well as the blast on any explosions when destroying a target. What you are seeing is probably just the smoke from the main gun and the quality of the video being decreased for viewing. I am trying to work on different codecs for keeping the quality of videos with less buffer times. Thanks for noticing the neat effects..;)

Is your intention to develope something like Steel B. 2.0? Or is this goal too high?

Is your intention to develope something like Steel B. 2.0? Or is this goal too high? I am a former "Tanker", and I want to create that feeling you get when you are conducting operations in an Abrams or for others in their respected MBT's. I have tried SB, and besides the graphics which are not that bad, was a pretty good experience. I wouldn't say I am trying to recreate SB though. As far as my goals are concerned, I want to have a modern Tank Sim that has modern technologies and scenarios, using the modern technology to create it. I don't think this goal is too high. What theatre(s) are you looking at setting the sim in? We will be conducting operations in any Theatre that is hot, Fiction and non-fiction conflicts. There will also be a Gunnery Range at Ft. Hood, which you will be conducting Tank Tables VI -VIII possibly. One confirmed Theatre is going to take place in Germany, which will be a Cold-War type scenario. Another will be in a desert scenario.

Sounds perfect, but it is really a difficult task... But what you´ve delivered so far looks more than promising! The scene lacks of Tanksims and Warshipsims(i think they will never return)! But now SB has a competition...

It looks very promising! It's one tough undertaking that you are tackling!
A couple of questions:
is this going to be strictly an armour sim; i.e. no infantry; artillery etc? Just tanks on tanks?
What about the gameplay?Single player mutli?Will you include a mission editor?
Finally do you intend to make more than just the Abrams but also other tanks: Leopard A6, Challenger 2, T-90 and apcs as well?
Kudos for the work done and all the best!
