Great work, Cleggy! Keep it coming! Any chance you could spend time on Mastiff?

Played a bit with it yesterday, and it's an awesome vehicle:

We all love it!

Well, I think I'm getting away with it so far....appreciate you all trying it.

Thanks to Old Bear and Foxhound for the mirrors (not that I'm complaining Fox, but I don't think it should be under Heavy Armor - it's only little!)

Any chance you could spend time on Mastiff?

Being the sensitive artiste that I am, the thought of more bar armour at this stage makes me want to go and lie down.

Glowbal: Cheers, first time I've seen one of my addons being used by someone other than me ... kinda brings a lump to the throat.

Absolutely amazing vehicle, good job! It would be great if you could make a Mastiff to go with it

That's just of a video of some 16AA guys testing the Ridgebacks' resistance against different weaponry. (It handles most stuff like a Boss)

Bravo93, your video link is broken to me.

Edit: it's working now, thanks

Need to get rid of the feature=player_embedded&

or just get rid of all of it apart from the video ID and youtube tag it

like so

I feel like I've just watched one of my kids being mugged by a bunch of yobs!

In all seriousness this is just the sort of testing it needs; my config armour values are very much cut n' paste n' guesswork.

One thing I did aim for was to make sure the opfor infantry weren't afraid to fire at it .. nothing worse than having them lie there in plain sight waiting to be shot.

I might have it working a bit too well, as they appear all to willing to open up and give away their position.
That could be a plus point tho'.

I've also cheated a bit to increase survivabilty of passengers and crew, so would be interested to know how that works.

Strikes me the wheels are the achilles heel of such a vehicle so mobility kills would be a major problem?
