The current .8 damage levels encourage head-on "tard" rushes too much by rewarding the TOWer a 1-shot kill. With the re-introduction of the .75 damages, maneuvering, driving, and teamwork via scouting will be brought back as essential skills to have when TOWing.

Not to mention there'll be a few more maps where "Marine TOW" will be applicable...

Further texture advice - the IRC crew :razz:


Originally modelled by [R-Dev] Wybl, this is my going away present before I leave for a 3 month stint in Shanghai, China.

We have been investigating methods of utilising this model into PR's gameplay. one idea is to have it simply as a commander deployable asset, as a mortar pit. Players then have a choice of marker rounds and mortar rounds. A spotter will have to "walk on" the mortar team by seeing where the marker rounds fall in relation to the target. To say it would require good squad communication and a large element of teamwork would be putting it mildly!

Due the complexity of the system though, it is more than likely that this will be a v0.9+ asset, possibly even v1.0 if it comes in at all.

So this could be goodbye for a few months people, (depending on internet connectivity in Shanghai etc etc.) If any of our community are in Shanghai, feel free to hit me up whilst im out there!

Also remember guys, it does pay to sometimes be in the Project Reality IRC channel, you never know what your going to find out!

Thanks for playing 0.85!

WZ551A

The WZ551A will act as the new "Light APC" for the PLA, much like the Stryker dose for the US Army, the difference being between them is that the WZ551A has a small turret / shield around the gunner and the Stryker has a RWS on its HMG but both offer more or less the same protection to the gunner, apart from of course the RWS offers slightly more.

Please note, that the "WZ551" which is currently ingame with the Cannon turret will still be present ingame, just that the new WZ551A will also be along side it.




The WZ551A was made off the vbf2 WZ551 by simply removing the current turret via code and adding on a new custom made turret also via code. This means that no model edits where made to the WZ551 and it still uses the same mesh and textures for the WZ551A just the new custom turret has been added ontop.

QJC-88 12.7mm MG

The QJC-88 is a 12.7mm Machine Gun (MG) that is fitted onto many Chinese Military Vehicles including the WZ551A which is designed to engine both ground and air targets. With it being able to aim 85degs up into the air, helicopters should be very wary of this threat. For now this MG is only fitted to the WZ551A but in the future we plan to fit this MG onto many more Chinese Vehicles.

Modelled and Skinned by two of our newest Contributors, [R-CON]in3d and [R-CON]Alina_Gal who also both did the 30mm rounds that are on the vehicle depo, the QJC-88 is easily one of our highest quality MGs in the mod. [R-CON]in3d is a professional Game Artist who has worked on titles such as the Unreal Tournament series. [R-CON]I.N is also helping out [R-CON]Alina_Gal with putting together a portfolio to get into the Games Industry. We hope they will both be doing much more work towards Project Reality in the future.
