Do we know of any models in existence for OFP?  Might be worth including this vehicle within the VTE scope of vehicles.

Here is a quote from the linked website...

The M41 was highly effective against North Vietnamese T-54/55 tanks in the Vietnam war with its 76mm gun. However, in Vietnam the M41 suffered from being too light for most traditional battlefield support tasks and too heavy for most internal security tasks.

At ofp.info there is news of M41 Walker dated november 2003, dunno if anything came out of that, at least BIS forums came out empty on M41 search word.

However there is M24 Chaffee made and I am planning on adding that, you can find it from OFP.info site. Here is couple pics



Could we use M24 Chaffee as placeholder for M41 for time being?

I believe you could squeak by using the Chaffee until a Bulldog comes out.  Obviously changing over the MG names, speed of vehicle and renaming the 75mm (Chaffee) to a 76mm in the Bulldog turret etc.

Okay consider it done, will show up on next release if nothing bad comes up. Feel free to provide any additional realism/etc information what I could use configuring these two tanks.

i would recommend not configuring it as a chafee, just a bulldog. also, check the CAVS project for armor and antiarmor values...i also posted this in the LAW thread.

This is VERY interesting!

I like the idea of using a formula to keep every vehicle/weapon on the same playing surface so to speak...

Interesting...
