I am very hyped with the Vextra personally. I have literally been waiting for it since the suggestion was passed to devs back on the old forums.
True, it has loads of pretty big inaccuracies, but the model is here, and the rest is just a bunch of lines of code that can be easily fixed during the dev server.
It might be true that it does not feel like the devs spent very much time actually researching the vehicle, but that model is chef kiss especially the non premium cameo net, so I’ll gladly accept that, that hard work is already done.
I just hope that the devs realize that the Vextra 105 is not Type 16 FPS material but rather more similar to the Centauro found at 9.7ish, with high quality thermals, great mobility, laser range finder, and even somewhat working armor…
All in all, there are some silly reports that will have to be made and shouldn’t have in the first place, but there are not to much of them actually (mainly gun, ammo, mobility, LRF, armor) and they are with primary source
All in all, the Vextra would fill both the 9.7-11.7 gap that @Bossman919 mentionned, while also making this amazing vehicle that, as @Smin1080p mentioned, was highly requested, a center piece of a potential new (non premium) lineup from 10.0 onwards
Anyway, might be worthwhile to make a separate dev Vextra thread to sort everything out for the update, instead of clogging this thread
Yeah all they have to do is give it it’s 3rd gen thermals and OFL F2 and it’ll be even superior to the 10.0 Type 16
Makes zero sense for it to be 8.7 since we already have the AMX-10RC to fill the gap of a wheeled TD
Tomorrow I will do the missing thermals, OFL 105 F2 and commander sight zoom. If that’s all implemented the Vextra 105 will probably be one of the most accurate modern vehicles in-game.
I haven’t really looked at the model to be honest. Only enough to sus everything out and grab some screenshots. Though the turning diameter seemed pretty accurate according to sources so I don’t really want to touch that lol.
Do you mean Vextra 105 only can fire 489mm pen (as you calculated) OFL-105-F2? Will it able to fire any darts less powerful (such as OFL-105-F1, OFL-105-G2)? Otherwise it will not have a Tier I dart for smoothly grinding purpose.
According to what is visible on the dev server. They preferred to model a new weakness (what the autoloder represents) for the Leclerc rather than correct the armour …
Autoloaders Models are planned to get modeled for every vehicle that has them, Leclerc makes no exception. Vehicles that still haven’t got it will get it soon.
