Good luck and have fun!

Bravo! This is the way to go! Manually add new content into the game rather than fatten an already bloated JSGME. Kudos!

Great work!

Nice release, perfect for the weekend, THANK YOU

There is a big problem with AI control of the BT-7 in case - crossing the river over the bridge. Almost in 90% BT-7 can't go over the bridge. Each time they jumped into the water, because of the high speed at the first shift
Suppose, same situation with BT-5, but I didn't check it out.
Well, may be it's true, coz to take a turn a driver had to apply an effort of the 40 kg on the control stick.

Try limiting the scripted speed to 10-15 km/h.

And if it's a platoon, set the formation to 'none'.

Also, the AI goes nuts if the enemy is shooting at it.

Try limiting the scripted speed to 10-15 km/h.

It was a first thing, which I made and it didn't help.

Code:

	ang_speed	=	15, 15, 45, 10;

And if it's a platoon, set the formation to 'none'.

It doesn't matter. I tried `column` and `none`.

Also, the AI goes nuts if the enemy is shooting at it.

Conditions were ideal - no enemy at all. I'm pretty sure this is because of the very powerful engine. Perhaps `transmission efficiency` should be decreased.

No, I mean the speed in the movement script.

For example:

   ext, ai_setstate, 0, 0x1;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint01, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint02, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint03, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint04, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_setstate, 0x1, 0;

This is a short video of the results:

For example:

   ext, ai_setstate, 0, 0x1;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint01, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint02, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint03, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_move, wpoint04, false, -1, 10;
   ext, ai_setstate, 0x1, 0;

Suppose, such speed will help to get over the bridge. Mine was 15km/h
