15 tanks a side, only respawning after they get destroyed and 4 logis.

Is there any map where we can see this Up-Armored Scimitar version?


If no, why its not in game?

If I recall correctly these actually were in PR, but they were removed for balance issues

The cage isn't currently ingame because of a few reasons. Firstly it had some really odd physics with the way we had done them, making the vehicle fly about etc, although this should be fixable. Secondly the cage didn't actually add any armour onto the vehicle either in the way we had it, it was purely visual. Although again, we know of a decent way of making the cage work so if RPGs hit it, they do little to no damage to the vehicle but again, something we would need to look into another time. Thirdly they had some odd lighting problems, we don't have a fix for that currently. Fourthly they cost quite a few tris and also had another texture sheet to load which made it harder for players to render so on top of all the other issues, they where removed until we could do them properly.

It was also for PR:BF2, was made the same time the Scimitar was, but as I said was removed due to some issues:

Is there any works to complete Sangin? If yes, how we can help it?
There should be more community tasks which would affect the progress of this map.
