M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle

[unborn pumice]

Introducing the M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle. This mod currently only encompasses the M2A2 IFV, but will eventually include the BUSK variant, BFiST variant, M2A3, and others. The Vehicle seats 3 crew and 6 passengers, is armed with a 25mm Bushmaster chaingun, and a 7.62 M240C. The mod in it's current form is missing some key components that are likely a ways off, mainly commanders targeting computer, TOW II missile system, and working pariscopes.

If reporting issues, please post a current log along with your issue. It makes trouble shooting much easier.

[sudden sparrow]

Idc about the warn I will get but HOLY SHIT IT'S ACTUALLY OUT

[glossy marten]

:D

[unborn pumice]

It's missing TOW's, and working screens, but they will get added in eventually. Screens is waiting on BI, so who knows.

[sudden sparrow]

So are they trying to help fix the screen issue?

[unborn pumice]

They are, it's on a list of things to look at. But it's not a priority.

[empty shale]

lets gooooo

[glossy marten]

I love the visual effect for the gunners sight

[misty monolith]

Holy sugar plums gang it’s out

[glossy marten]

Seems the periscopes are almost functional
Thats amazing

[haughty wraith]

Happy to see it

[glossy marten]

Does it have a Conflict config setup for it yet so they can be used in the Conflict gamemode?

[unborn pumice]

That's probably just the environment map?

[glossy marten]

Seems like it, but still a very very cool effect
Let a brother dream 😭

[unborn pumice]

Yes.
Required Rank: Captain
Supply Points: 3500

[glossy marten]

Thats literally perfect

Any planned AP rounds?

[sudden sparrow]

Ok so I did a small test, seems armor needs to be improved, 3-4 VOG-25s set it on fire and a single RPG to the front can set it on fire

Sorry to be that guy who immediately talks about what's wrong with it

[covert crest]

Also no ability to drive in first person?

[frigid juniper]

sigh time to add this to my server

[unborn pumice]

Ill go through armor tomorrow

[unborn pumice]

Not at moment. Waiting on a camera/rttexture update

[pale halo]

Great work guys, looks amazing inside and out

[glossy marten]

I love it
Sounds nice, drives nice, shoots nice

[sharp smelt]

My God it's beautiful

[unborn pumice]

It's going to get better looking in the future. I'm gonna update some of the LP parts with the HP versions. It's got room to improve.

[sudden sparrow]

Also the suspension is a little funky, bounces when you spawn it and I even managed to flip it at one point

[empty shale]

ive been hoping for a bradley since we first got tracked vehicles, this is dope

[open ether]

LETS FUCKING GO

It's... beautiful..

[warm dagger]

The Slot type being set to large only i think will make it not work with default vehicle depots as they have medium spawner slots (I may be wrong but i couldnt spawn them until i changed the slot to medium) in conflict

[remote lake]

Is the ramp able to come down?

[unborn pumice]

The ramp will come down eventually. Not on release.

[remote lake]

Alright 👍

[warm dagger]

Yeah I tested in conflict real quick and would like if someone else could test but the vehicle does not move if spawned in via GM and it is blocked from vehicle depot due to the Slot size being Large in the entity catalog, It would work if the Depot had a large slot but it does not, or someone would have to add one

[unborn pumice]

Project Redline M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle has been updated to v1.0.2
Path notes:

v1.0.2
- Adjusted front armor plating to 25mm
- Adjusted engine damage settings
- Changed Conflict vehicles settings from Large to Medium```

[warm dagger]

Good stuff!

[open ether]

How thick was the frontal plate before the update?

[unborn pumice]

20mm

[open ether]

Oh ok

[zenith star]

Ayooo they really brought the tank from rust in 😤🔥🔥

[open ether]

This thing is a fucking beast. It can tank 14.5 from every direction (except the spots highlighted in red)

?

[unborn pumice]

The Bradley should protect against 14.5mm AP rounds and 152mm shrapnel.

You should be able to knock one out with an RPG-7

[open ether]

Yea

[open ether]

van halen.

[zenith star]

Young lean

[tawny ether]

Awesome job pal 💯

[unborn pumice]

After getting the little things cleaned up, this will be the next addition. M2A3 BUSK

[sterile flint]

Didn’t the m2a2 Bradley enter service In like 88? So if cousin fit with a Cold War server?

Could we see just the original m2 ?

[sterile flint]

Ik just for the looks and for the date for like a Cold War server / conflict 💀

[glossy marten]

I mean, that's realistic

[glossy marten]

Youre in luck
Vanilla Reforger takes place in 1989

Meaning they'd have a year to have rolled them out

[stuck gale]

finally

[rich hare]

ww3 boutta go crazy

[glossy marten]

Bradley still needs some improvements to its armor

A BTR-70 from the side can withstand more of its own ammo

[waxen slate]

Yuno Miles 🔛🔝

[sharp smelt]

Yuno miles for sure

[sudden sparrow]

So out of curiosity will we ever see the inclusion of the M2 and the M2A1 or the M3?

[sterile flint]

The original M2 would be nice for Cold War era like more like what would I be used in 89

[gloomy fable]

Finally, Bradley pics

[frigid juniper]

Bro how do you get the fire in the background

[deft remnant]

I use the fire from my vape to illuminate it lol

I got more Bradley pics on the way

[gloomy fable]

You gotta put an nsfw tag on that bro 🤤

Also, which Bradley has the big ass cheeks on the back?

[gloomy fable]

Maybe

[undone island]

@unborn pumice i might be wrong but 950 HE damage looks like a huuuuge overkill

it deals too much damage to basically everything

[deft remnant]

5 shots to kill a BMP3 and Stryker

[undone island]

600 kinetic damage is also looks too much for me.

[deft remnant]

2 shots to kill anything else

25mm bounces off most armour depends on angle of hit

Even an A-10 isn’t really a tank killer with its 30mm

[undone island]

also due collider being too complicated and also single mesh, it causes errors in calculations.
side armor is also VERY op because of this. Each mesh is 20 mm. 60 mm is definetely a wrong value

launcher cover is visible on LOD0 only as well

[deft remnant]

Movement and function is pretty good besides all those other aspects

Typical audio glitch with the tracks “moving” when static.

A bigger muzzle flash and gas effect would be nice for the 25mm it looks like an m4 firing

[unborn pumice]

I can look into it this week. It's currently less tha the HEF-I round the BMP3 is using in it's 30mm

[covert crest]

A-10 hits the top of the turret where armor is thin. The high fire rate also allows follow up shots to land in the craters of previous rounds and that tends to eat through armor pretty quick.

Maybe not the more modern MBTs

[deft remnant]

A lot of testing was done on older vehicles which I mean you can see the devastating effects but a lot of more modern vehicles can withstand it, yeah^

Just picture a coke bottle travelling the speed to leave orbit being lobbed at something it either punches a hole or it completely disintegrates and sends shards everywhere

BTR-70s cant even withstand 7.62

T-62 just gets obliterated, and most older Americans vehicles that it was tested on are in half. Armour has made massive advancements over the years

[deft remnant]

Just a little demo video nothing special for those who cant play with it right now or are at work

[lunar blaze]

@sand trail

[covert crest]

Even tanks with ERA the A-10 was destroying them. Air Force did tests in February of 2022 in Nevada and concluded that even modern MBTs were rendered inoperable. The depleted uranium rounds practically turned the inside of the hull into mush. So if the tank was lucky to survive, the crew wasnt.

[cloud spruce]

I’m not sure if anyone has fully checked but apparently the Bradley conflicts with the Tactical Flava mod

[sudden sparrow]

What tanks?

Also wrong thread, please continue this in #military_materials

[gloomy fable]

Using both and don’t see any issue

[sudden sparrow]

Also tossing this out there since I lack the skills and people to make it, someone ought to recreate this in armahttps://youtu.be/xqDgn-qXr0E?si=T80g0E3bBGhYvqip

[cloud spruce]

I was just reiterating information from one of my friends that there could be a possible confliction, if it is working then that's awesome!

[remote lake]

Based video

[deft remnant]

Isn’t the Bradley amphibious

[unborn pumice]

Early versions had a fording kit, but no, it is not.

[copper stream]

Nah. The LAV-25 is not the Bradley

[rich hare]

it was planned to make it amphibious, but all the extra armor and tech and weapons made it to heavy

[copper stream]

Ah interesting I didn’t know that. Cool to know thanks

[glossy marten]

Yeah, it was originally a suped up M113

[sudden sparrow]

COLONEL BURTON NOO

[rich hare]

m113 with da sauce

[rich hare]

the BUSK is gonna make me BUST

[surreal narwhal]

🤨

[worthy salmon]

Absolutely loving this mod, used it in its first op, can’t wait to see this get even better

[lucid arrow]

Bradley’s first victim on the server

@terse atlas

[terse atlas]

Pic goes unspeakably hard

[lucid arrow]

I don’t know why he’s like that. He was placed inside of a BTR that was the target ☝️😔

[oak prawn]

Beutiful beast, but can't figure out how to see where im driving to, am I missing something?

[oblique bluff]

Since periscopes are not a thing in game you just have to make due with 3rd person

[rich hare]

wouldnt suprised if rhs made some by next week💀

[glossy verge]

I still believe in this option

[misty monolith]

facts ^

[opal violet]

any estimated time on the BFiST or BUSK?

[sudden sparrow]

Would it be possible to make the bradley stabilized or is that just impossible as of now

[opal violet]

it is stabilized

[sudden sparrow]

I was playing and using the gun, it was bouncing around while moving

[vestal helm]

You have to activate Turret stabilization

I think it’s RB+X for console unsure for PC

[sudden sparrow]

Ohh

This is crashing DarkGru Servers

[unborn pumice]

Is this "Crashing" DarkGru servers, or are they crashing and this is in the logs?

[wispy sundial]

this is in the logs directly before and in the same nanosecond as a crash

so I cant obviously confirm it is the cause, however its happened a few times now

[shrewd horizon]

My server was in a crash loop, as soon as I took the Bradley out it went back up

[rich hare]

you gotta give crash logs

[full shadow]

Lemme pop my head outta the bradley

[rich hare]

Cant wait for the BUSK so i don't get 1 shot by rpgs😭

[cloud spruce]

You get one hit? It’s take 3 or 4 whenever I’m in it or shooting it… deflection probably

[misty monolith]

bradley armor = thick as a poptart

[surreal narwhal]

On god

[gloomy fable]

We need some erp(explosive reactive poptart)

[rich hare]

one hit to the front and the bradley catches fire

[remote lake]

Uh

[slender isle]

looks like server lag more than anything

[remote lake]

Not my footage.

I just saw the server ping yikes

[unborn pumice]

Just so everyone that keeps pm'ing me about the Bradley being destroyed from 1 rpg understands, this is the older M2A2 variant. It is not the BUSK, it is not the A3. It does not have active RPG protection. It can and will be able to be destroyed from a single rpg. It can and will bounce rpg rounds off the frontal armor, depending on angle and location. There will be some tweaks with the next update to the damage model, but rest assured, it will still be able to be taken out by RPG. It is an aluminum IFV, not a tank.

[haughty wraith]

Hey @unborn pumice Did that error Aaron post get looked into yet, I would love to have it back on my servers!

[unborn pumice]

Yes. As long as you don't spawn the OD variant, it's fine. It didn't inherit correctly when I updated the base, so it has the old lights. I've fixed it, but not pushed the update yet. Waiting on some other improvements.

Mostly turn-out and IK stuff. Should be out this week.

[haughty wraith]

Okay so OD green is a no no! Got it thanks

[sudden sparrow]

The Bradley is Aluminum??

[glossy marten]

It's unarmored

[sudden sparrow]

How come it's tougher than the M113 then, is it all add-on armor or just thicker

[glossy marten]

The M113 is a different mod by a different modder

[sudden sparrow]

Not talking about mods

[glossy marten]

The armor is roughly the same

15-30mm of armor depending on angle and direction

I actually think an M113 is MORE armored than a Bradley, at like 28-44mm of armor

So compared to it's older brother, it's basically aluminum

[unborn pumice]

Bradley uses 5083 Aluminum Armor Plate. The M2A2 added additional spaced plates on the sides. With the reactive armor it will be protected from RPG7 fire to a point.

[glossy marten]

So in short, the Bradley as it stands now in-game, cannot take a rocket

[unborn pumice]

Not usually, but shots on frontal armor can be deflected depending on angle.

[sudden sparrow]

So just so I am not stupid, the Bradley as of now cannot typically resist RPGs from the front, but will once updated? Or did I misunderstand

[glossy marten]

If the rocket hits a flat angle it'll explode
If it's angled enough, it'll bounce

[cloud spruce]

Current models available will not be updated to be protected from RPGs, no.

Newer models with Protective Plating and Spaced Armor will be added in future

[sudden sparrow]

Ah ok

[severe solstice]

for me the bradley can survive an rpg from any angle, it can even survive about 5 huge artillery strikes

Is there any chance we can get one with a + on the side for ukraine war servers

[opal violet]

just wait on the BUSK

[open ether]

I've seen Bradleys (ingame) EAT about 4-5 RPGs to the front

[sterile flint]

M2A1 would be sexy to have in the game

[sudden sparrow]

True

[severe solstice]

Why does it take 100 rpgs to turn a bradley on fire and 50 to just take away 50% health it shouldn’t be that armoured

[severe solstice]

For me the bradley can eat about 100 rpgs and only just start burning, I just tested it

[open ether]

Did it the RPGs explode?

[severe solstice]

Yes every rpg exploded

[severe solstice]

I hit the bradley directly 100 times at the front and it only started burning

[gloomy fable]

I just saw one blow after like 4-5 rpgs

[unborn pumice]

Nothing has changed since people were in here complaining the Bradley could be set on fire with 1 rpg....

[cloud spruce]

Sloped armor for the win? Lol

[empty shale]

lmao just dont get shot, then no more issues

[shrewd horizon]

Dose this mod Conflict with any other mods?

[rich hare]

we need BUSK because we all suck

[fervent nimbus]

Man if yall want busk make it yourself

[fluid portal]

Hmm, tbh loving the Bradly so, I actually wasn't aware of the Bradly going on fire after one RPG shot so, news to me but overall love this beast, if it goes on fire, pull back, dismount and put out the fire and repair damage. Its just what you gotts do for the moment

[sudden sparrow]

Only problem I have so far is just how people use vehicles in reforger (mainly just a public server issue)

[opal violet]

facts lmao

[rich hare]

if only i had a pc 💀💀

[fluid portal]

Looking forward to the Busk version as well

[minor ermine]

@fluid portal hey man used to watch ur wildlands videos years back 😂

[fluid portal]

Well, wasn't expecting that so

[fluid portal]

Thanks for watching Lee

[fluid portal]

Also curious, any new photo updates of the ERA version of the Bradly

[fathom topaz]

@unborn pumice Cannot share the log but we have noticed a de-sync that leave the bradly parked but not fo the driver. The parked version is the actual unit.

[open ether]

the fucking WHAT version of bradley?

[opal violet]

he means the BUSK lol.

[open ether]

THERES A BUSK VERSION???

[opal violet]

there will be, he's asking for updates

[open ether]

oh

[opal violet]

or, at least thats what was promised.

[open ether]

Bradley was already fucking (near) impossible to kill from the front

BUSK is gonna make it much more fun to fight in but more of a living hell to fight against

[opal violet]

[shrewd horizon]

Trying to add this mod to my server but it keeps sending it into a crash loop. Is this happening to anyone else?

@unborn pumice

[haughty wraith]

It’s on my DarkGru servers so likely just a bug your experiencing and or an error in the JSON, I would recommend making sure your JSON is valid first. Would google curious concepts JSON validator and paste your file in there and double check your mod id for the Bradley as well

[shrewd horizon]

Okay thanks mate, I’ll give that a go

[open ether]

so, no bradley?

[fluid portal]

Bradly works on the server I am

On

[frigid juniper]

Same as me I don’t have any problems with it

[gloomy fable]

Any news from BI about the screens/cameras?

[unborn pumice]

No

[rich hare]

if there is just check the patches and devlogs and stuff

[fathom topaz]

@unborn pumice Have you tride using RiverX's javelin scrip on the bradley? The direct fire version might be a fill in for the tow.

[rich hare]

Javelin is broken af

[fathom topaz]

@rich hare yup but the targeting script might be of use.

[rich hare]

Pretty sure the script is broken as well

[worn ice]

can anyone help me with my server?

everytime I add the Bradly it wont start

"mods": [
{
"modId": "5E3F054D7A0FB892",
"name": "CONFLICTPVEREMIXEDVANILLA",
"version": ""
},
{
"modId": "5E193315C8E82019",
"name": "M2 BRADLEY FIGHTING VEHICLE",
"version": ""
}
],

there is the code, It worked before then one day it just stopped working. server works with every other mod exept this one. very weird

@unborn pumice

[unborn pumice]

You need to add spacecore

[worn ice]

yea it still doesnt work. do you think its the server host? I use Gportal

[fluid portal]

I was curious about the mount for a commander seat, will it be implemented in the future like 240 or m60 depending on how development goes

[unborn pumice]

Eventually it will be usefull. Cameras don't work properly, so we couldn't get the command system working on release.

[fluid portal]

Ah i see

[fluid portal]

Thanks for the info

[sterile flint]

Will this come back to 1.0?

[frigid juniper]

I hope

[neon gate]

I wouldn’t ask or he will push it back 2 weeks.. 😅

[sterile flint]

👌 sorry

[dense cobalt]

Heheh

[wild edge]

where is m2 bradley?

[tender quail]

Don’t ask

[fervent nimbus]

In my stomach

[fluid portal]

Gotta have patience, we miss it too, but going to be happy as hell when it returns

[neon gate]

Gotta love having a forum for a mod that we can’t ask anything about.. I’m just glad Striders stuff isn’t this way.

[sudden sparrow]

It's called being obnoxious, not like they're gonna go through the effort of making the Bradley and then going "fuck it" and not bringing it back for 1.0

[neon gate]

We still not allowed to ask about this orrr?? Just curious because having a public forum indicates we can ask questions.

[surreal narwhal]

I believe you can still ask questions but not questions related to the release of the vehicle

[empty shale]

Asking when something will be released/updated isnt against any rules AFAIK its just bad form as modders dont necessarily follow a set release schedule and dont get paid for their work. Id imagine being asked the same question you don't have an answer to by 10 different people gets old fast

[neon gate]

I’d agree, but he has stated on his YouTube channel in the past he has pushed it back every time someone asked.

[open ether]

can you DM me his YouTube channel?

[unborn pumice]

The Bradley is almost finished. As for asking about release, I usually just ignore those messages and PMs. If it's persistent then I just block.

[slender isle]

PMing the mod maker asking for a release is beyond wild

[rigid rune]

Does anyone know how many dismounts it could have?

[vestal helm]

3 Crew Members + 6 Dismounts

[neon gate]

Thank you, we genuinely appreciate the communication.

[sudden sparrow]

Out of curiosity did the bug with screens get fixed?

[severe solstice]

When’s it coming back

[slender isle]

the Bradley does not conform to your conception of time. it will arrive whenever it feels like it

[fathom topaz]

Can't wait for the TOW to be a thing.

[cloud spruce]

I want

[kindred gazelle]

Will this come back any time soon?

[zenith star]

[void sigil]

Will the Bradley be amphibious ?

[unborn pumice]

No.

[void sigil]

Okay.

[open ether]

is it amphibious in real life?

[sudden sparrow]

No

[void sigil]

There was a version of it that was amphibious but I think they phases it out or something @open ether

[sudden sparrow]

They experimented with pants but it didn't work out and wouldn't work for the later heavier variants of it

[deft remnant]

Yes and no

The less armoured ones are some what but not on their own requires a special kit. But the model in game will sink like a cinder block too heavy

[sudden sparrow]

Like I said the pants

[slender isle]

hey man I haven't been able to switch to the tow at all. also exiting the vehicle appears to be very bugged now. from the driver side you'll be stuck inside it. from the turret you can't leave at all. lmk if that's on my end or if it's already a known issue.

[vagrant wren]

have 3 or 4 Bradley in the GM

[midnight orchid]

Yeah was that the green M2 because the same happened to me and can’t switch back out of the tow

[slender isle]

that's a console issue, probably with keybinds I'm guessing. but the exiting of the vehicle and not being able to switch TO the tow I tested on kb

[midnight orchid]

2 out of the 3 M2 have the TOWs

The camo and tan only have them not the green one

[slender isle]

I am awere yes

[unborn pumice]

I'll take a look after work.

[vestal helm]

Unsure if it's just me but anytime I reload the M242 It will only shoot once

[sudden sparrow]

Very happy for the Bradley to be back, love that the TOWs work

[unborn pumice]

I've had that happen once or twice. I'm not sure if it's anything with the bradley setup in particular. Most of the times it doesn't do that.

[vestal helm]

I was in a Private GM so it may have been something with that

[vale harbor]

Is the TOW supposed to be guided??? If so it doesn’t work. At least when we spawned it in our GM server it did not.

[oblique bluff]

[modest brook]

Hey Ben, do you have plans to change the look of the rounds splashing/exploding as rn they use the default grenade ones which personally to me seem a bit to much compared to IRL

[modest brook]

There a bug making so the TOWs have no guidance what so ever.

[unborn pumice]

They work fine in workbench and in single player game master. If they are not working correctly on servers, may just be an issue with BGONE.

Also not sure about the weapon switching issue. I'm not getting that problem.

[modest brook]

My fault they’re working now

[neat abyss]

Does anyone else have the problem of switching between guns and not being able to switch off of TOWs

[modest brook]

It’s a issue with BGONE I believe, it’s been reported to the creator of BGONE and he’s looking into it. This happens with other vehicles as well

[mental rivet]

Does it work for mnk?

[sterile flint]

Ok guys the Bradley needs to be better than a T-90M, Bradley 25mm crapped on a T-90M , there’s footage 💀

[mental rivet]

Certainly crazy

[gloomy fable]

Dm the vid please… for scientific purposes.

[west quarry]

its okay?)

Additionally, after exiting the technique, the character may get stuck

[unborn pumice]

It managed to pen the turret and kill the commander/gunner. He fired a lot of rounds, could have been a lucky hit. Possible to do that I think with current system in reforger.

[sterile flint]

The turret ?!?!? Russia is a complete joke 🤡 That’s still crazy a Bradley can win

I bet they taken out the sights for Gunner and commander and the only other thing to do is tbh in that situation just sit there and die 💀

[open ether]

Send the vid pls

[mental rivet]

For the fact it got the commander it was probably side turret. Any type of APDS can pen any side turret modern or old

[sharp smelt]

I saw this on insta a minute after looking at this chat

[empty shale]

Amazin'

[sharp smelt]

Gaw dayum that's sexy

[teal token]

Don't know if this is a known problem but the Bradley doesn't cycle through the weapons and just stops at the tow instead of going back to the cannon

[oblique bluff]

Controller issue, a fix is in the works, use the select hold wheel instead

[teal token]

Alright thanks

[heavy grail]

I have no issue in controller when I use the Bradley in game master

I can switch weapons and etc without an issue

[teal token]

Also will you make the tow-2B for the Bradley?

[neat abyss]

What is select hold wheel again

[midnight orchid]

@oblique bluff idk if it’s been mentioned but when loading supplies into the Bradley it causes it to fly away or go under the map and when reloading the 25mm to APDS it “brakes” to where you can’t shoot the gun

[open ether]

space didn't make this mod lol

I thought he was helping @unborn pumice ?

Well then now they both know 🙃

[open ether]

true

[unborn pumice]

I'll fix the supply issue later today.

[misty monolith]

The entire T80 looked like Swish cheese afterwards.

[mental rivet]

T90. Also no it didn't. People are making out like it got demolished all what happened was they damaged the turret ring and majority of external parts.

[kindred gazelle]

What a terrible war

[misty monolith]

Yes, It did. It was littered with impact indents/holes. Let me crawl through my Telegram and find the pictures.

[unborn pumice]

M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle has been updated to v1.0.6

v1.0.6
- Possible fix for vehicles flying to moon when adding supplies```

[stoic quarry]

They took out the laser threat indicator which is what caused the turret to start spinning uncontrollably.

[sterile flint]

The Bradley got lucky

[stoic quarry]

The Bradley’s did not get lucky they beat the tank.

[sterile flint]

Well I mean if they did not hit the laser threat, the T-90M would of stranded a chance or like destroyed the Bradley

[unborn pumice]

Not the place for this discussion.

[sterile flint]

Sorry sir

[rigid whale]

Tows aren't firing at all for me now, audio plays but nothing else

[vale harbor]

The Bradley still cannot reload the 25mm Bushmaster Chain gun. It happens consistently every time we try to reload the Bradley it refuses to fire afterwards even with a fresh magazine of ammo. Sometimes a single round will be able to be fire but other then that the gun no longer fires after the first magazine is fired. If you try to reload even if you still have ammo the same problem still occurs.

I know this has been brought up before but I haven’t seen it addressed yet and it’s a problem that I’m hoping can be solved easily.

[fierce hill]

I've noticed it will be fine sometimes and break other times. especially in multi-player and with other mods.
Seems to usually fire the first 2 tows perfectly fine then the tows break on reload. Other times it won't fire at all.
and I usually don't have an issue with the main gun then it'll randomly break.
So I'm guessing it might be a weird mod conflict

[unborn pumice]

I'm going to remake the weapon systems this week. No idea what the cause is, but sometimes just starting from scratch helps.

[fierce hill]

Damn. That sucks

[unborn pumice]

M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle has been updated to v1.0.7
Changelog:

v1.0.7
- Rebuilt M242 chain gun
- Removed APDS_T from vehicle inventory
- Fixed preview icons
- Fixed reload functionality chain gun```

[sudden sparrow]

Does stabilization work on the bradley?

[gloomy fable]

Yes

If you are doing gm and are taking control of an ai you must control the ai and enter the gunner seat. It will not work if you control the ai out of the gunner seat.

[silk crypt]

Um so something I've noticed is that the RHS RPGs will one tap the Bradley regardless of where they are hit, I didn't know weather you were aware of that or not

[mental rivet]

Yeah this^ the Bradley is supposed to be invincible please fix. It's got like 10 meters of amour rpgs can't damage please fix

[silk crypt]

It's not really that it's just the damage from vanilla RPGs and RHS RPG against the Bradley is insane vanilla it takes 6 to set a flame the Bradley and one RHS to kill all crew inside and set alight, was just bringing this to attention.

[thick urchin]

That’s a RHS problem then

[gloomy fable]

I hope we get an actual damage system down the road instead of just the “catch fire and explode” as realistically a lot of armor is disabled rather than full on exploding(besides Russian mbts)

[gloomy fable]

Good luck getting them to do something about it. They’d likely just say it’s an issue with the Bradley.

[undone island]

dont think it is, there is barely any difference except different pen power and sliightly bigger explosion range
but we have a problem with TBGs, thats true

[thick urchin]

Ok I just assumed sense it was the RHS one doing more damage it was something with it

[slender isle]

that's kinda what RHS is doing tbf. their Vic's have insane defense but can be disabled if you shoot at the turret ring and sensors/cameras

[gloomy fable]

Yea but an official and supported damage system from bi themselves is what I’m talking about.

[silk crypt]

Any update coming to the Bradley at all?

[unborn pumice]

ffs...

set myself up for that. Made this post too easy to find.

[silk crypt]

Reason I asked is cause there are a few glitches that I wanted you to know about if not known already,
This includes;

tow missile not working properly after 1st shot

The ammo boxes or ammo storages for the weapons have pushed outside the chassis mesh

Supplies inside the bradley, when not on base game everon cause the Bradley to faze through the map

There is also a glitch that when destroyed the body can still be used and gunned but the tracks and engine are still on fire but the occupant won't die.

I appologize for seemingly rushing you Ben I was more or less just wanting to bring things to your attention

[unborn pumice]

I've already fixed the ammo storage sticking out. That fix will be in the update with the BUSK and armor update. No timeline on that. No idea why the supplies would only work with base everon. First report I've seen of that. I'll look into it.

@unborn pumice Hello, please read private messages

[unborn pumice]

Adding markings/decals to the bradley is not an issue. I have no issue with people making mods with the Bradley as a dependency.

[south ivy]

Hello! I recently had a look at this mod, and it seems there is still a ton of room for optimization on the polycount side.
Even if you want to keep LOD0 at 175k triangles, I would suggest a much more aggressive dropoff, say at least to 30k with LOD2.
I would also strongly recommend to heavily decrease the amount of triangles of the final LOD - currently, you're still at almost 10k, when the target should be 3 digit number at most.

Final BTR70 LOD for reference - as you can see, it has less than 50 faces.

[peak heart]

How to refuel the Bradley? 🙂

[haughty wraith]

If you open the xob in the tools you can probably fine the refuel bone if it has it and try to focus on that area when your playing

[lucid arrow]

Hey, I’ve noticed that the bradley causes client frame drops in my server. Looking at it when it has been turned on, moved or interacted with causes this issue. 50/50 chance it happens.

Is this a known issue?

Also, I know the “target audience” was for player use and not AI, but AI seem confused about using the Bradley’s gun. They’ll switch to the rockets and fire them (when armor is present), but then they’ll sit and stare afterward

[mental rivet]

Do the same with the btr and tell me what's different.

[lucid arrow]

BTR they’re smart. Can switch between both guns🤷‍♀️

[mental rivet]

Yes but they still struggle

[lucid arrow]

I agree, especially if there’s a lot of ground units and armor. They still fire and switch between guns though, which they do not with the M2–at least in my server ops

[peak heart]

Thanks mate! I was NOt looking at the tower, actualy, I was starting to climb under the dam buggar.. 😄

[random portal]

I confirm, on our server there is a similar situation, when you shoot Bradley in the forehead under the bottom of the armor, Bradley disappears and only the tower and fire remain, after which after a period of time an explosion comes and the server goes to reboot
@unborn pumice

[teal token]

@unborn pumice Will the Bradley ever get APFSDS belts as well?

[unborn pumice]

Yes, I just need to figure out how to set up multiple belts while keeping the barrel firing animation.

[teal token]

Alright take your time

[mental rivet]

Never knew it used APFSDS

[unborn pumice]

While it transitioned to using fin stabilized sabots in the 90's, I'm probably going to stick with APDS-T and HEI-T for now.

Maybe make the M2A3 have HEI-T and APFSDS combo. Who knows.

[teal token]

M2A3 🤤

[random portal]

@unborn pumice Good afternoon, please tell me when the Bradley bug will be fixed?

[silk crypt]

There is no timeline, both him and space are one manning fixing the bugs and fixes for their vhics while also balancing daily life it just stresses them out more when you just ask her whens this gonna be fixed or not.

[mental rivet]

Maybe be a little polite

[dreamy sinew]

So then the Bradly dosent work atm?

[random portal]

If you thought my message was not polite, then it is not, I use Google translator and it may not translate my messages correctly.

[mental rivet]

Okay

[misty monolith]

@unborn pumice Will it eventually lower able rear door like the stryker mod?

Also will it eventually have a variant without the tow missiles

Like when it was first introduced to the military

[unborn pumice]

Eventually the hatches will all open. An no, unless I make a BFiST, I see no reason to make one without TOW. And I don't see much reason for BFiST in Reforger.

[sterile flint]

M2A1 👁️

[misty monolith]

Also is the bradley amphibious?

[vestal helm]

No

[misty monolith]

Then wtf am i thinking of...

[jagged plume]

Your thinking of the Stridsvagn 103

[misty monolith]

?

[sudden sparrow]

Probably the BMP

[jagged plume]

This bad boy

It can easily get confused with the M2 Bradley

[vestal helm]

Maybe the M113 or the LAV

[thick urchin]

LAV is so sexy

[tame kayak]

mm the sexy stridsvagn 103

[slender isle]

a blind man once looked at the strv103 and thought... "ah yes the Bradley IFV"

[misty monolith]

Omg thats the uh...tank from generation zero

Oh but yea anyone else having this issue?

[granite brook]

I tried it last night & didn’t have that issue

[haughty wraith]

@unborn pumice I can you a video for reference but for some reason the Bradley will like freeze the server for some reason. If I remember correctly when told if it hits something and crashes it will soft crash the server.

We can replicate it by literally driving fast into anything and it does it

[last shoal]

I mean it makes sense if the RPG penetrator hit the ammo rack. Vehicle damage in Reforger doesn't solely rely on a health pool

[graceful fiber]

Nah I mean the Bradley’s chassis disappearing

[last shoal]

Oh, that. Yeah, that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point!

[thick urchin]

Nah it does that irl too I saw it one time

[grizzled hull]

Happens with our IFVs too constantly
I'm so glad this mod takes realism seriously, not like some other guys smh

[hexed anchor]

Is there posibility you can make from it Cold War ERA 1st generation of Bradley ?

What will take imersion with vanilla game assets for imersion

[sudden sparrow]

The M2A2 was in service in '89, not the most common, that goes to the M2A1, but still

[hexed anchor]

Nah damage model is really bad... 3 shots from auto cannon to tank and its dead...

[sudden sparrow]

What?

[hexed anchor]

yep

[sudden sparrow]

???

[mental rivet]

Like it's overpowered?

[hexed anchor]

If it take 3 shots from autocanon to T72 ? xD

[vapid frigate]

Is there a guide for utilizing the TOWs or are they still buggy?

[upbeat trout]

Bro, arma 3 is not about realistic lol

Especially considering not only how many hits a conventional BMP holds, but cardboard vehicle and characters as well
(But arma 3 still cool)

[hexed anchor]

What are you talking about

I am also confused by this

[open ether]

huh??

Hello friend, I made a video for you where you can see how one Bradley is destroyed incorrectly, after which the server crashes, at the end you can see that everything stopped working and the server crashed and it is no longer on the list, I had to restart it. Perhaps this video will be useful to you. @unborn pumice
https://youtu.be/p0_5xt-pTXA

[shy olive]

hey i have question for you if have some time to chat with me

[vale harbor]

@unborn pumice

Hey I was wondering if I could make a mod that edits the health values of your Bradley. I wanted to ask instead just making it and doing what theorangedealer did. This is just something I want to do for my milsim unit to make using the Bradley a bit more viable for us.

[unborn pumice]

Feel free.

[vale harbor]

Thank you

[crisp perch]

we are getting the same server crash, did any one find a fix for this?

[random portal]

No, no one has corrected it yet, perhaps if we had permission to edit, then perhaps something would have worked out.

[crisp perch]

were you also using the mod that adds the periscopes in this video? or is this just the base mod

[random portal]

Only the basic mod, we do not use periscopes

[open ether]

how long until the "Bradleys getting destroyed causes servers to crash" glitch is fixed?

[silk crypt]

When he gets time to sit and fix the mod, he knows about them just he's busy, last time I checked

[deep yacht]

Bradley is causing crashes when destroyed

[timid spindle]

that's been a thing for awhile

[deep yacht]

I know from what I seen up I didn’t see it until now

[silk crypt]

He will fix it when he fixes it lol just give him more time

[neon bay]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/612F4C04CFF9B1C4-BradleyFix

This should make it usable for now until he updates it

[deep yacht]

Ah okay thanks

[rocky totem]

Is there any idea when the Bradley is back up again?

[deep yacht]

@rocky totem

[rocky totem]

?

[deep yacht]

Use that it does say it’s to be used to make it usable while it’s being worked on

[rocky totem]

It Doesn’t work

No no I think you misunderstood me I’m no modder

[rocky totem]

This was a fix for issues such as server crashing when the vehicle is destroyed

[deep yacht]

I know you weren’t a modder just thought you wanted to try and use it tbf

[feral sparrow]

I will see if its possible to update that fix mod . If i can get it done quickly enough i might udpate

[neon bay]

The .xob file is entirely messed up so unless you have the model available to edit, im not sure this can truly come back

[feral sparrow]

what is messed up is the vehicle prefab not the xob. its fixable. I just dont know if i have enough energy for it 🤣

[neon bay]

I tried fixing it but some bones didn't show up which is why I say that. It's alot of work I know☠️

[feral sparrow]

try my mod above now i updated it

[violet tangle]

nice thank you toni! you got em spawning! and destructible. players can enter gunner and commander fine. But, it might be the driver and passengers seats, i entered as pc and they CTD

[tender nymph]

@neon bay the amount of times I’ve seen you offer to help out the modders with their stuff is insane. Keep up the good work bro.

[neon bay]

Unfortunately I failed on the bradley lol. I don't suggest anyone to download my bradley mod for the time being

[tender nymph]

Damn, was hoping it would work so I could use these until Strykers are fixed

If they’re ever fixed

[violet tangle]

yeah the lack of vehicle mods is sad. did BI really messup vehicles that bad? it doesnt help that they havent updated their own sample car mod.

[tender nymph]

I guess they really changed the way they work. Idk this is the longest I’ve seen the mod community take to recover

[neon bay]

The scripting format of prefabs was changed and its a huge pain to go through text editor and delete all the unrecognized formatting now to replace back into the mod. Some big prefabs mods have nearly a thousand lines of code to go through for each individual prefab, or vehicle in other words

[violet tangle]

damn yeah that sounds like a lot to work through. i can only imagine, my only modding experience is custom AI loadouts for SPT. I somewhat get the text editor reading. but yeah thats on another level. thank you all for your help to get these up and running again!

[violet tangle]

driver seat and passenger seats are still crashing 😦 and the ramp doesnt open anymore, (didnt test before your update, but the turn out and commander hatch is working again)

[feral sparrow]

yea idk i guess its just not meant to be

[violet tangle]

yo thank you trying hommie.

[neon bay]

Game crashing when entering the driver seat

[violet tangle]

passenger too

[feral sparrow]

Yes it’s so over. Maybe someone else will bring it back eventually

[violet tangle]

it'll work as a entrenched turret at least.

[feral sparrow]

[neon bay]

I might be able to fix the crashing since I had this issue before. I can send you the prefab if it works

[feral sparrow]

It would probably work just rebuilding it from a Btr base(or wheeled vehicle base) but I can’t really be bothered

[violet tangle]

if i could drive the Bradley again, i'd be so happy

[neon bay]

Just a quick question, does your game crash in workbench when entering the seats or do I need to test on a server?

[feral sparrow]

doesnt crash in workbench only in game

[feral sparrow]

😂

[neon bay]

I might be able to fix it later tonight if you don't get to it before I do. Its most likely the animation graphs from what I experienced on other projects before having this issue.

What did you change to get this working so far in its current state? I was trying to fix it myself and haven't had any luck

[feral sparrow]

can someone try this first one here if that also crashes? the one where the rear lamps are directly attached

[ripe haven]

Just crashed but just got update lol

[violet tangle]

ill try it now

[ripe haven]

Works for me besides ai sticks out frame

[feral sparrow]

Yea like half the stuff is missing to isolate the crash

[ripe haven]

It’s driving and not crashing

[feral sparrow]

I will write something later

[violet tangle]

drivable and shoot able but not the ideal seating for passengers

thanks @feral sparrow! its a little jank but it drives and shoots.

[rocky totem]

One more thing ai will not use the bushmaster Canon when facing enemy’s maybe need to set canon priority to always

But only against vehicles against foot soldier ai it uses the bushmaster🤔

Maybe leave for now fix later because you took hella work to get this back for us thanks man👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[feral sparrow]

yea i think you are right. I changed it(animation graph for the vehicle) on the 2 other varaints and they seem to work without crash now. Would be cool if someone could test it aswell

[violet tangle]

i did some testing too, it does seem to prioritize the MG. but does on occasion does use the 25

[feral sparrow]

There is some priority that i saw somewhere i will check if i can find it

[neon bay]

Im about to test it on my test server

[violet tangle]

got them to drive, seating anims are good on two of the thee

[neon bay]

Lol workshop isnt letting me update the mod client side

[feral sparrow]

yea i had that too you have to manually delete it

I added RHS thermals too

[violet tangle]

the legend!

[neon bay]

Its working fine no crashing so far. Exit positions of the seats could be adjusted

And passenger seats lol

[feral sparrow]

there are 2 varaints one is btr based the other was the one that crashed the game 😄

[violet tangle]

and a cool new GM thermals bug?! hell yeah

[feral sparrow]

I think that is a RHS bug lol . i just had that too

[neon bay]

I got stuck in the passenger seat. Actually the passenger seats are fine although switching to the passenger seats from the driver puts you in a weird spot. You also left the base model tires on it lol

[feral sparrow]

Seems like its some sort of mod conflict. But i dont think its my mod . Maybe project redline`?

[violet tangle]

it this on a dedicated server? i can get out fine locally hosted

[neon bay]

Yes im running it on my server right now

[violet tangle]

thats seems weird that a dedicated server has more problems than locally hosted, but i am a simple man.

[neon bay]

Arma netcode for ya. But this new update made server side mod stability very different compared to local. Like TODs Hueys for example. He has the same issue as me where the pilot controlled rockets and guns do not stay attached and bug the hell out server-side, but locally they work fine.

[feral sparrow]

its because there is no replication layer when you are playing locally. For example doors can get stuck out of sync between server and client on a dedicated server. Really annoying to debug

[violet tangle]

yeah that makes sense. damn, yeah i could see how that could be a nightmare for bug reporting and sorting.

[feral sparrow]

wcs has a system for launcing rockets from helis that works in the current version but i think it sadly includes some other scripts too so that it isnt really useable outside conflict

[neon bay]

Their mod comes with the single primary restriction script. I didn't know they updated it though so might have to check out how they did it

[feral sparrow]

they have a heli with pilot controlled guns and rockets now though so it should support multiple weapons

[feral sparrow]

apparent its supposed to get fixed next vannila patch. its broken on some vannila items too

pushing another update for the priority issue . Commander can also turn out and use binos on my version 😄 (IDK if that works in MP)

and smoke 😄. Sorry enough spam from my side

[rocky totem]

Man your the holy fixer of arma mod’s

[neon bay]

I can open the hatch but I can't turn out at all

[violet tangle]

@feral sparrow not only have you fixed the Bradley, youve made it better than it was!

[feral sparrow]

are you in commander? you have to click (hold F)and then scroll wheel to turn out

[rocky totem]

I am very uneducated and very new to mods but did Toni just show that most mods are fixable could be up today and ready. Or am I smoking crack

[violet tangle]

ive noticed the scroll wheel on the turn out is usually broken on DS

[feral sparrow]

yea just fixing this mod isnt actually that mega hard its just time intensive . I did a fix for the Strikers too. Spacestriders just has to upload /merge that one

[violet tangle]

and you have to be creative, its actually a BTR thats hidden with coding magic

to day has been a good day, thanks to @feral sparrow getting the m2 to us all again.

[feral sparrow]

there are a few more fixes in my bradley mod too. for example the m240C fires at the correct 950 rpm now with 1100 rnd boxes instead of just being a M60 😄

[rocky totem]

Hopefully he takes you’re fix don’t know why it isn’t up yet🤔🙃

[rocky totem]

Show em toni💪🏽

[rocky totem]

Our Saviour

[violet tangle]

space has been doing some IRL stuff, hes AFK for the time being.

[rocky totem]

Oh aight that’s why he’s so Inactive Heard there’s a fix to for the m113 also 😕

[violet tangle]

the only thing that could make it better now is if you could add the FCS screen from the K17 to the M2s commander.
but the only mods ive seen them in are ones that also use the turrets (like the bmp2 etc) so idk if its possible to link it to the scope even.
food for thought i guess :}

[feral sparrow]

yea i could make a sort of m2a3 wiht the RHS commander turret . it will be a bit cursed tho

[violet tangle]

lol super cursed. may as well just slap it on a BTR chassis and call it a BTR-90

or use the epoch turret and call it a BTR-4 at home

[rocky totem]

Yeah that would be probably better

[feral sparrow]

placement ideas?

[violet tangle]

oooo thats what you had in mind?! not what i first thought. itll look fine. i was thinkin the entire turret swap.

[feral sparrow]

technically if would be sort of on the side of turret

[violet tangle]

some place to the side of the hatch and behind the antenna imo

hmm i now see that there is no base or stand... could place it ontop of that antenna cage, even if you cant delete only that one antenna and it sticks through, itll look fine.

[violet tangle]

looks great!

[deep yacht]

What’s the missiles like right now?

[violet tangle]

BGONE has been updated to 1.2 but i dont know what state its in. almost noone has updated anything to use it. (WZ launchers has) they fly straight and dip a little bit. you can easy hit inside on 1km

[feral sparrow]

missiles arent working they just fly straight

[deep yacht]

Ah okay well do they atleast cause damage if they do atleast there’s some use to them

[feral sparrow]

yea

[deep yacht]

Okay so it’s like the K-17 that’s make sense there’s some use to them which is good to know

[violet tangle]

yeah

[neon bay]

Is it possible to add RHS stabilization to it?

Made one with ERA but probably behind in your current progress

[ripe haven]

I wouldn’t think the Bradley would be back so quick thank you guys

[tender nymph]

So how do I download the fixed version?

[neon bay]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/612F4C04CFF9B1C4-BradleyFix

[tender nymph]

It’s fully working?

[neon bay]

Its got some minor bugs so far but its entirely functional for now

[tender nymph]

Let’s go

[feral sparrow]

It should already have it

[somber gate]

I just want to say thank you for getting a fix out for the Bradley

[neon bay]

Did you check out my ERA variant? I haven't tested if it actually works

[feral sparrow]

No I didn’t look at it yet . I remember it working once in the past but it was a bit scuffed with how it looked

[neon bay]

I sent the prefab files in here of one with the Era but yeah it doesn't look right color wise. Haven't tested if the ERA actually protects it

I also published my variant in my own mod on the workshop for the m2 incase you want to check out that version. It probably will need some updating after some things you may have changed.

It's the same as the prefab files I posted here so no need to download my mod to see it

Who even is the OP for this thread anymore? I feel like they literally could just use your mod to update the Bradley at this point lol

[neon bay]

Also the commander turret doesnt rotate and the hatch doesn't open unless im in the gunner seat and do it. I still can't turn out even in workbench for some reason

[feral sparrow]

commander turret cannot rotate because that bradley version doesnt have a commander turret IRL . the commander can only see the gunners screen

[neon bay]

Ah that explains

Im gonna experiment with RHS commander turret I guess.

[neon bay]

Also in my prefab files, I can't get the turret ERA to move with the turret. I am unsure how to fix that. I tried the merge physics option but doesn't change anything

[feral sparrow]

put the era on the turret prefab itself. i think that is the only way since inherit parent skeleton is broken

[neon bay]

That is what I did

[violet tangle]

yo that doesnt look bad, nice work. i can do some testing now to see if the era works on a local host.

BGONE is working again NLAW just got updated.

doesnt seem to vs PG-7VL

[neon bay]

Damn Ill probably have to see how RHS reactive armor works to make it work similarly

[feral sparrow]

not every part worked when i tried it but it did work

[feral sparrow]

v_turret bone?

[violet tangle]

yeah i did a few shots to a reg one, it does do something, i noticed that extra stand off makes the shrapnel is less likely to pen, (i am using the shrapnel mod by ashyl)

[feral sparrow]

it should usually be destructible. i would guess part of the era is set up wrong orginally thats why it sometimes doesnt work

[neon bay]

So I got a t14 commander turret working on it I was messing with but the commander seat is switched to the t14 commander seat position now which I have set to be the usual seat. Oddly it isn't changing

[feral sparrow]

change all slots to regiserting component slot info and enable damage. and disable physics interactions. maybe you have to change damage manager on the blocs like this

[feral sparrow]

i dont remeber what the issue was but i had that too 😄

[lavish wolf]

Sorry to be that guy but is this mod working rn ?

[neon bay]

Only the Bradleyfix mod. We are just experimenting with upgrades for it

[neon bay]

What about your commander sight prefab makes it to where you can't rotate or move it vertically?

[feral sparrow]

It’s set to 0 in the turret controller component

[lavish wolf]

works great! keep up the good work guys

[neon bay]

I have to say this but I don't think any RHS team member has ever helped me with any modded related things once

[feral sparrow]

I also once tried setting up a rhs vehicle screen but couldn’t figure it out .

There are quite a few parts that are need and something I missed

[surreal crest]

Bradley's have no ammo in Arsenal

[verbal lodge]

This is a pretty good mod

[feral sparrow]

Noted

[violet tangle]

yeah i had a feeling that there is a lot to get that stuff workin, probably why its only been done with full turret swaps

[surreal crest]

only the tow missiles

The steering wheel sometimes goes away or sometimes goes through the tank

[feral sparrow]

Too difficult to fix for me because it involves changing animation graphs

[deep yacht]

Question about the ERA are you gonna change the colour on each to suit the variant like OD, MERDC and desert

[feral sparrow]

User did the era but since we just modified the original mod it’s probably not easy to change the Color without it looks Strang

[deep yacht]

I get you all good and sorry for the question but one more do you know how to enable thermals or is that not in this mod

[neon bay]

Should be the same keybind as your night vision

[deep yacht]

Ah okay just tried that and the screen just goes black

[neon bay]

do the RHS night vision adjustment keybind

[deep yacht]

Will do

[neon bay]

Can you do me a favor?

Or at least tell me what I need to do, I want to make a version of the bradley that doesn't rely on RHS but has turret stabilization

[feral sparrow]

you can use the baconstuffstablization component from spacecore. imo its much more bugged tho

[neon bay]

ah damn

[feral sparrow]

also you would need to redo what i did cause my mod rhs as dependency

[neon bay]

Also this is what I was playing around with for a bit trying to get the t14's commander turret to work on the bradley but it broke some very minor things so if you want to build off of it go ahead. Its running on my own version of the bradley on workshop currently

I literally can't figure out how to get the RHS screens to work and one of the RHS team members straight up refused to explain it to me so that's gonna be a whole project in itself

[lavish wolf]

is the TOW controllable?

[timid spindle]

no

[wise yarrow]

@feral sparrow wz turrets have controllable tow would it be possible to fix that way?

[feral sparrow]

maybe but last time i tried fixing them they didnt work on the bradley for some reason that idk

[quick wharf]

Is this operational?

[violet tangle]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/612F4C04CFF9B1C4-BradleyFix

[frosty cypress]

Glad to see it’s fixed. A shame to see you need the massive ball sack size of a mod RHS

[violet tangle]

you get more functionality, gunner turret stabilization scope zoom 3x - 12x and thermals

[frosty cypress]

Oh no and I’m all for that. It’s just a bummer you need the entirety of RHS if you’re not intending to utilize too much of modern slated uniforms and weapons.

In a perfect world RHS could be divided up among its categories of additions and objects but I know it’s a lot easier for them to have it all in one mod

[neon bay]

RHS stated they will never divide their mod up unfortunately. Someone else will need to make a standalone mod that adds those kinds of things. RHS created their own individual game engine components that add those functionalities

Can someone test something for us though?

I need someone to see if the bradley actually triggers AT mines cause apparently the stryker doesn't yet

[violet tangle]

they do not 😦

[neon bay]

Yeah Our main focus for both was just to get them working again which worked out, so bug fixes I guess is something else we will work on later on. It's already been a huge headache as is to get them where they are now

[tender nymph]

@neon bay did you also make a Bradley fix?

I saw you said ERA version but idk what that means.

[neon bay]

Reactive armor. My edit relies on Tonimontana's fix

[tender nymph]

Ah ok. Thanks bro

[feral sparrow]

Should I remove RHS depedency from the bradley fix mod?

That would remove thermals and the rhs stablization(bacon stab should still work) tho

[quick wharf]

To be frank I installed this yesterday and I never had the option for thermals or even turret stabilization didnt even realize it had rhs as a dependencie 🤣

[vast ridge]

doesnt work in combat ops

[feral sparrow]

try to get the bgone tows working . idk if thjey work in MP tho

[violet tangle]

yeah ive had problems with missiles not tracking in DS at all. and locally hosted they work for only the first character who used it, (any subsequent characters using the missile will not track, on locally hosted.)

[timid spindle]

the thing has THERMALS? how do you use em on controller

[neon bay]

The same way as you do on RHS vehicles

[timid spindle]

uhh, i dont know how to use them which is why i asked

[neon bay]

Should just be the nightvision keybind

[timid spindle]

looks like the keybind doesnt work, ill tell rhs

[neon bay]

Test it for the k17 or t14, not the bradley

[timid spindle]

i am rn

it doesnt work for the t14, need to test it out w/ the k17. turret stabilizer doesnt work either on the t14

[wise yarrow]

does anyone know if there is a bgone thread?

[wise yarrow]

@feral sparrow whenever i try to spawn in bradley in .32 it crashes the game on my server

[neon bay]

Crashes the game or server?

[wise yarrow]

the game sorry

[neon bay]

Im pretty certain its because of the memory leak issue which makes it hard to use big mods like RHS now

[wise yarrow]

what issue is rhs having?

[neon bay]

Its a game issue. Any mod that adds alot of graphical assets brings the chances of a memory leak higher

[wise yarrow]

speaking of rhs do you have any osrt of idea how to get bgone working with their k17, i setup all the bgone stuff and it just hangs a right continually, im thinking that it might be due to the crosshair on it but idk do you have any ideas about whats causing it to go right ?

[feral sparrow]

0.32?

[feral sparrow]

I don’t think it’s supposed to work with bgone

[wise yarrow]

yeah 1.0.32, i dont think its meant to work with it either but i was hoping to get it working with it while we wait for them to implement their system

[feral sparrow]

I guess I just need to revert the bgone tow . Only thing that could be causing this

[neon bay]

Worked fine for awhile on my server, just RHS is problematic right now due to what this game update broke

[wise yarrow]

anyone else having issues with client crashing on destruction of bradley?

[vale harbor]

That has been a long running issue

I believe it happens because of a bug when the engine and the hull of the Bradley get destroyed separately causing it to crash the server. I found that it can be fixed by properly editing the health of the engine and hull so that they explode at the same time rather then one detonate separately from the other.

[feral sparrow]

It’s was the destruction handler on the engine. I removed it on my mod so that fixed it in the past . Idk why it’s happening again

Are you only using my mod or also the one by thegodssean

[neon bay]

Yeah my mod I'm having a delay in updating since I can barely log into workbench lately

[wise yarrow]

only yours but i have got the revival edit installed, should i try remove it?

[neon bay]

That is mine, try seeing if the issue persists without the revival edit version. Mine just adds more variants with ERA

[wise yarrow]

yeah only the bradleyfix and dependencies are loaded when the crash happens though

[neon bay]

Is it causing the server to crash or your game to crash?

[wise yarrow]

server

[neon bay]

Not sure, both mods ran fine on my servers. The only possible crashing issues I know of are game crashes which is due to the vanilla game update's memory leak issue which any mod that adds alot of graphically rendered assets brings the chances of it happening higher. Which RHS is a huge issue currently due to how much stuff they add which is out of their hands.

[wise yarrow]

have you heard if they have a fix for that in the works?

[neon bay]

Its not fixable by modding, its a game engine issue which we are at the mercy of Bohemia to fix as far as I am aware. Reducing mod count or using literally just RHS on a server is the only workarounds for stability from what I tested so far

[wise yarrow]

perfect thank you, but have you heard word if bohemia is aware and working to fix/fixed it yet?

[neon bay]

Bohemia doesn't seem very vocal about hotfixes until they are launched the day of. They talk about updates mostly for big updates that add new stuff

[narrow grail]

How do I activate the gunner's thermal vision on Xbox?

[neon bay]

Same way with RHS thermals. I'd suggest asking RHS

[narrow grail]

OK thank you

[dense portal]

I have some null pointer exception when try to access the fixed Bradley prefabs. Seems to be located to the M2A3 ones (turret and hull)

[feral sparrow]

do you have RHS loaded too?

[dense portal]

Yup

[feral sparrow]

oh yea m2a3 ones are bugged. its the ones i tried to get the screensworking on. But they arent included in gamemaster . just in the modding files

[dense portal]

Ok was just wondering as I got greeted with this when I opened the prefabs folder 😂

[feral sparrow]

[dense portal]

Is it still subject to causing crashes to due BGONE shenanigans ?

[feral sparrow]

from what i have heard from people is that bradley is causing a lot of crashes so probably yes

[dense portal]

Hmm I wonder if just disabling the BGM71 weapon slot would be enough for a dirty "fix"

[narrow grail]

How do I activate the gunner's thermal vision on Xbox?

[feral sparrow]

i dont know

[feral sparrow]

idk i removed all bgone components from it and it still didn tseem to help

[dense portal]

Welp guess I'll just test in prod 🤣

[narrow grail]

Do you know it has to do with the RHS?

[feral sparrow]

yes its rhs thermal

[dense portal]

Did you get any info on when the crashes are occurring ? Is it on destruction ?

[lavish phoenix]

I have a question, does the Bradley still work?

[rancid linden]

The fix from Tonimontana work well. But we dont know if Bgone work again with many people in game

[lavish phoenix]

I have put the stinger that Bgone uses and it works for me but thank you very much I will review it

In scenarios to see if it works well

[hollow trail]

damn, that's insane, ai seems to know how to operate the vehicle properly (using smokes and cannon)

were these kinds of behavior written by the author of the mod or it's just a vanilla ai?

[wary spear]

Maybe a hint for upcoming LAV

[wary spear]

Pretty sure vanilla ai

[hollow trail]

although other part of the group (ai dismounted on himself and went past smoke) just stopped

[wary spear]

Still needs some work I guess on the developers end

[feral sparrow]

It’s just coincidence

[violet tangle]

as far as i know the ai in the commander seat recognizes the smoke launcher as a gun and just shoots

[grim ridge]

Hey, awesome work on the bradley! If you have the time, can you guide me on getting the periscope to work? I know it uses RHS status quo periscopes but I still don't have the functionality.

[feral sparrow]

I can’t check for a while but usually you would just look at them and press F like in rhs vehicles . Maybe they got lost somehow

[grim ridge]

Seems to be the case, I appreciate the reply though, looking forward to an update!

[timid spindle]

any plans to make it non-RHS dependent?

[feral sparrow]

No it’s basically an abandoned mod too so I don’t really plan on making any changes

[verbal lodge]

Will you allow other people to make changes to it

[feral sparrow]

I don’t think it’s possible for me to give permission due to the mod being on the rhs license

I guess just need to remove rhs dependence

[verbal lodge]

Putting my hand to my forehead because I forgot about RHS dependency

[silk crypt]

So is the Bradley abandoned?

[neat abyss]

No

[silk crypt]

And what mods do I need to download to get it running correctly?

[slim yarrow]

M2 bradley - Revival Edit

[last shoal]

Check SpaceStrider's channel. He inherited the project, and just made a release on experimental

[small shard]

@unborn pumice I sent you a friend request, cueious on the status of the M2A3?

Was a Bradley Commander back on the day, and the current Bradley is fucking sick it doesn’t have very good viewing for the Tank Commander

[cursive escarp]

@small shard

Don’t @ Ben, he isn’t working on it, and has been relatively silent moding wise.

Don’t know if you’re new to the arma community, but as a general rule of thumb, don’t @ moders with questions about a mod.

Have a nice night!
