Default Re: Vehicle Size- Does size matter?

Never use SP3 as an example as it is a totally different game with totally different code then SP2 or WinSPMBT. The two are not really comparable.

As to trucks, point taken.

You wouldn't have to change the code, this is just a reference point/guide to follow when deciding on the size of a vehicle. This would be a quick slotting system so that the vehicles specs are as close to the real thing and so that guys like me don't complain.

There is enough various between sizes so that any amour upgrades and turrets/remote weapon station would not affect the size unless the vehicle was on the bubble.

Example: M4 Sherman Size 5 would change to 4
Front Profile (8.7ft X 9ft) = 78.3
Side Profile (19.2ft X 9 ft) = 172.80
Average Silhouette 125.55

T-72 Size 4 would not change
M1 MBT Size 5 would not change

Enough various so that if I found specs that say the height of the vehicle is say 7 inches shorter and someone else finds info that references 5 inches taller, the vehicle should still be in the same sizing slot.
