[Vehicle] ERC90 [WIP]

[[R-CON]Sgt_Doctor]

Developed by Panhard on its own funding, it appeared in 1977 and was based on a project proposed to the French Army in the early seventies. The original project lost against the Saviem (now Renault) VAB, but the ERC 90 has been adopted for the French Fast Deployment Force.

The first ERC-90 was built in 1977. It was an export success, orders being made by Argentina, France, Iraq, Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, and Mexico. The first batch were for Iraq, where they had to be fitted with the UTM-800 turret. Panhard later used more modern turrets fitted with the F4 90 mm gun.

The all terrain mobility of the ERC 90 is enhanced by the capability to raise or lower the central pair of wheels depending on terrain condition. It is equipped with two hydrojets and requires no preparation for amphibious operations. It can be fitted with different turrets. The ERC 90 Sagaie, used by the French Army, has a GIAT TS 90 turret.

The Sagaie can be ferried by Transall C-160 or Hercules C-130 planes

It was used by the Iraqi army in the succession of wars which took place there, and proved very useful for the French Army in urban conditions during the Siege of Sarajevo.

Looks like cool beans.

10 k polies is a lot, seems most of the detail could be done with bumbs and textures.

otherwise great work !

Wow!! Will this be the Tank or more of a AT-APC

ERC 90 are good against infantry or little vehicles. Not Really against APC.

For example (at 04.00) :

Nice! This vehicle will give a counter-part to the MEC BRDM! A better counterpart imo

[[R-DEV]Hauteclocque]

Actually, I think the ERC90 has no existing counterpart today, it's a light tank (which is vulnerable to numerous weapons).
But well, against a BRDM, I think the battle will be a quick one...

10'460 polys is a lot seeing how the vehicle is pretty boxy and wont need alot of plolys, that means its like around 20,000 tris right? BTW how many polys are each wheel?

Looks great though

90mm cannon that can penetrate 120mm of steel, im pretty sure it can destroy light apcs [lav25 strkyer btr] with one shot.

The model is high poly, I think we could easily reduce the number.
Anyways, this model is not a high priority.
I will check the number of polys for each wheel
