New tank gunnery range/bomb range terrain coming soon.
« on: July 23, 2011, 12:27:20 PM »
   Some of you may remember the tank gunnery range I put out a couple years ago using static tanks for practicing ranging offline.  That was before the big terrain graphics update, which changed the look of it (went from desert to jungle).  I'm now making a new one that should be much nicer than the previous, plus adding a bombing range with a nearby airspawn so folks can practice jabo/level bombing targets, end flight, and be back over the range in a few seconds, eliminating the need to keep taking off & flying to the target area i.e. wasting game time.  So I just wanted to give a heads up to whoever might be interested in such a thing to practice on.  Will post preview pics soon.  The actual terrain won't take long at all if work & family would give me a little free time. :salute

Not a problem.  I should be able to knock something like this out in one night (tonight) since I won't have to worry about strats, roads, etc.  It just needs a couple fields & the objects placed in a designated area of the map.  I need to use it myself to get better at ranging with the new tank sighting system. :salute

My ol' lady's laptop died yesterday, so she's taken over my pc all weekend to do her college homework. I am impatiently waiting to get it back to knock this project out. :salute

Working on it this very minute. :aok

No, but it will act as your own personal TA offline for tank ranging and/or jabo practice.
