Swedish Military Assets for DCS by Currenthill

[currenthill]

And here's what's coming up next, the Swedish Granatkastarpansarbandvagn 90.

 

[currenthill]

I have received questions about adding the Strv 122 MBT. For the moment I've resorted to using EDs Leopard model since it's pretty nice (even though it lacks some specific Strv 122 visuals), instead of investing a lot of time into a new one at the moment. At some point I'll most likely replace it with a new one.

But for now I've made a complete new set of configurations. The specifications for the vehicle, weapons, ammunition, naming, definitions etc are in accordance with the Strv 122. I've also added playable weapons stations for all the weapons. I've defaulted the livery to the Swedish looking pattern.

Update: I've also added the Strv 121 based on the ED model, but with completely new configurations.

That's perfectly fine, since the two are very alike .. do you have any plans for an older tank like the Strv 103? I'd love t have it available for Viggen missions

Well, I'm not making any promises, but I'm sure I'll get to it sooner or later.

The only thing I am waiting for is coastal antiship missiles, because it is a new class of weapons in DCS.

Aren't the chinese silkworm missiles we have coastal antiship missiles?

Well that was fast ^^, do you model all the vehicles by yourself?

Yeah, the Silkworm currently exists. But it's nice having something a little more modern.

Well, I've done a fair amount of assets by this point, so I have developed a pretty efficient workflow by now. I've probably cut the time in half while increasing the quality if comparing the first couple of assets with the latest ones. You learn by doing, that's also why I have to back track and redo some stuff when I've learnt new things, or a better way of doing stuff.

In regards to the modeling. I'm a one man show with the SMA pack. This means I (beside the mesh modeling) do the researching, configuring, rigging, animating, texturing, testing, documenting myself. I try to speed up the process by any means available. Making models can be very time consuming so my approach is to get the model ready in the most time efficient manner.

This means that some models are created by me, some are bought as crude mesh frameworks and added on by me, some are bought as ready to use mesh models where I only have had to make small adjustments. One main advantage is that since I focus on the Swedish armed forces a lot of the models (or parts of them) can be reused between the assets, so it's some degree of modularization at this point.
