Mod Description
Features the totally fictional M2A5 Slammer RG to help NATO forces counter the t-100 RailGun and others. The M2A5 is armed with a 11mm Rail Gun, able to fire 11mm slugs at 5000 ms, giving it a almost flat trajectory allowing for unparalleled precision at extreme ranges. Effective against all targets. Its downsides though, are do to its limited AOE, the tank mainly relies on its MG's to fight infantry, making it more of a tank destroyer then a actual MBT. And the immense recoil generated from firing the rail gun throws the tank back, causing issues with quick follow up shots. This incredibly increases wear on the tanks suspension/ transmission/ and even the gun itself. includes both standard and pacific camo patterns.

Questions & Answers
Q: What's the point of this?
A: To give vanilla NATO forces their own railgun tank to counter the T-100 Rail Gun, it also goes well with most sci fi scenarios.

Q: How do i find it in game?
A: It's not a mod so it wont show in your launcher. in the editor you need to press the groups key or F2 then click on the composition icon. last pic in the slideshow above shows were it can be located.

Q: Why is it spawning all broken up?
A: You need to click off Terrain Level before spawning any comp, click the first link in the description, there's a section in the first part in the yellow box that'll show you what the button looks like.

Q: How can I do this for myself?
A: Its easy to do once you know how, all the scripts you need are located in the vehicles init box. to give and vehicle-any weapon you want, just replace the name of the weapons and its ammo's. a list of vanilla assets can be found here; https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_CfgWeapons_Vehicle_Weapons

didnt know you could do that ill have to look into that but yea i got no prob with it , though the railgun is from the tiberian genesis mod so you might need there permission if the file actually includes anything of theirs

hey mate ive just turned this 'composition' into a mod for ease of access. it also changes the displayname so it can show up as whatever name we set it to, and we can change the texture to add appropriate railgun graphics. would you give me permission to release it to the public, credits to you for the original idea?

GOOD NEWS! the railguns have been replace and the tanks are working again!

ohh mb, i should've been more clear. i don't actually have the original mod files either, otherwise ide put em on dropbox, add the link and call it a day. but couse im a dumbass, when i had to remove the mods from steam i thought "well i guess i can save some space and delete these now that i dont really need them and cant restore them, ill just link the armaholic page and problem solved". i can be really stupid sometimes.

Could you private send me this mod if this doesnt work?

only chance of it happening that i can see, lest long term, is if a group of people got together, collect what files they can find, and make their own website repository were copyright wouldn't be a issue. apparently this is happening, though i don't know anything about it, just rumors. that said, if anyone is able to pull it off it would take an INCREDIBLE amount of time and effort by this point. between all the armas there was literally tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of mods that were saved on armaholic before there was steam workshop. some can still be found on sites like modDB but not many....that all said, were getting lots good sci-fi mods lately, so if i see a adequate weapon system to replace the old railgun ill remake this mod & the abrams version

it would be so OP for NATO if I download this tank......literally deletes CSAT tanks
Der Teufel 28 Dec, 2021 @ 6:46pm 
oh shiet...........which means I don't have any chance to try this mod out.......
turfy  [author] 28 Dec, 2021 @ 1:18pm 
well funny story bout that, i did once upon a time. for all of my mods requiring mods from armaholic, i had ported those mods over to arma 3 along with them. got lots of complaints and and even D.M.C.A. warnings by the end. had to remove them all from steam because of legal bulls**t. here i thought games/ mods are like art or somthin and should be preserved/ restored if needed, steam thinks differently. then armaholic dies, and we all loose somethin like 70-80% of the arma mods that ever existed. so to answer your question. i could, i would like to, but they wont let me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
