MT-LB – The Soviet Workhorse
With the popularity and the "tuning options" of the venerable MT-LB being currently at their highest we have opted to use this vehicle as a base off of which to learn how to create mobile vehicles for Arma 3 while at the same time introducing some unique content and bugs into the game.
All the content for this mod has been created from scratch while trying to stay as true to all the real life references we were provided as possible.
The creation of this mod would not be possible without the help of various people from the A3 community, but most notably:
[3CB] Apollo for fixing the physX
[BE] Рамзес IV for providing the realistic engine sounds
[LG] Nevalyashka for most of the interior references
sup for helping me learn Blender and Substance Painter from scratch
veteran, Goat and others who (most of the time) answered my clueless questions in the A3 discord
Kei for the amazing screenshots
[KND] crabe and [MOR] Beast for moral support
Additional thanks go to Vojensko-historické muzeum Deštné z.s. for allowing us to take reference pictures for the Strela-10 vehicle
README:
1. The mod does not require ACE by default, but running ACE will enable you to sit on the roof and will show the gunlaying numbers. Everything ought to be compatible with the ACE Artillery table.
2. Certain vehicles´ scope reticles require you to set up keybinds to move the vertical zeroing line up and down. This affects the VMK, MT-12, Nona and all the 6M variants. By default this kebind should be PageUp and PageDown, but make sure to go into Options -> Controls -> Configure addons -> TBD MT-LBs to double check it / change it.
As it stands this mod includes the following vehicles:
Unarmed
MT-LB Unarmed
MT-LB Ambulance
