Tank Gunnery Practice Terrain

[USRanger]

I made this today for a player who requested a tank gunnery range.  I'd thought I'd put it up for anyone wanting ranging practice.  Desert environment in honor of the Tunisia Scenario coming up.  Simply download & unzip, then place the TankRang.res file in your AHIITERR folder, then load it offline.  Spawn a GV North out of A1 and you are on the range.  The target GVs do not fire back or move.  They must be hit multiple times to blow up, as this is a target range, not a battle. Do Not try to take off in an aircraft, as there are no aircraft spawns and it might crash your game. Enjoy.

Thx fellas.  Forgot to mention the download is 1.1 Mb.  It can be used for all kinds of GV training:

Excellent Ranger!!  Your one of a kind here in AH. There is so much you do and have done for us in the community with your own time.

Sound Packs
Maps
Missions

Very excellent.  Nice work.  Haven't been able to kill anything, because it takes way too many rounds. 

Maybe someday, in some later version [ >>hint<<  ] it would be cool if the target would blowup with a solid hit (then reappear about 10 seconds later), and maybe smoke with a glancing or low impact hit.  Don't know if you actually have access to the actual hit tables, but that would be additional frosting on the cake.

Either way, this is very well done.

   All of that can be done now on your offline clipboard arena settings.  You can massively increase your ammo count, you can make the targets weaker (They are classified as gun batteries, ObjectsHardnessMults[BAT] in your arena settings), and you can adjust object downtime/reappear time.  It's all in your clipboard map, just tinker with em.  Anything can be back to default if you change something that you don't like.

Here's one.  Take off SW from A1.  The CV group is set to do very defensive maneuvering.

yes i downloaded and placed into AH folder and selected tnsunia offline but there is no north spawn? How EXacTly do you UnZip a file?

[Gianlupo]

Thank you, ranger! I'm not a GV driver, but if I can improve my aim with those things, I'll surely feel more comfortable when I get on one of them.

If you really want to help players get better at ranging, give them a terrain with various vehicles at specific distances, in facing and side aspects, so that players can learn what range a target is at just by comparing the silhouette size against the tank sight hash marks.
