A C-5M cargo loaded an M1A1 tank and dropped it to engage the enemy
I saw a video several days ago on the internet,
Hercules C-130 crashed while displaying a low level airdrop technique
On July 1, 1987 a A USAF C-130E Crashed at Bragg during a Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System.
It is a C-130 cargo dropping a tank, but crashed into the sand, and I think it is very cool, so I also made a similar video, but I used a different tank and cargo plane.
This is a C-5M cargo loaded an M1A1 tank and dropped it to engage the enemy, I have uploaded video here:
A C-5M cargo loaded an M1A1 tank and dropped it to engage the enemy
The moment snapshots here:
What I did is only the work tointegrate the two model together, both the aircraft and the tank are made by others.
The M1A1
It is made by @realSavageMan, M1A2 Abrams (Performance Update!).
operations:
AG 1 to turn engine on first, then,
VTOL for engine, but, I have changed the direction, now, push VTOL down to drive forward, push VTOL up to drive backward.
Yaw for turning, but, I have replaced the car engine with jet engines, so, when you are driving backward, yaw left will not turn left but will heading left turning right.
Disactivate 1 will turn off the engine and the M1A1 will stop and can not turn anymore.
Pitch & Roll for turret control,
AG 1 is also used to hide the dummie,
AG 2 for lights.
Weapons:
For the weapons, press space to fire gun, at any time. To fire an artillery shell, you should active one number from 1 to 8 before pressing the Alt key to fire, there are only 8 shells, save the usage of artillery, please. Use mouse to aim the gun or artillery at any target.
Cameras:
F7: main artillery camera
F8: gun camera
Camera next: an orbit camera attached to the tank
Camera next: a camera attached in the C-5M cargo to view the tank.
The C-5M
made by @Thund3rb0lt10, C-5M Super Galaxy
operations:
Trim- Flaps/Slats
VTOL- Cargo Door Open/Close
AG1.-Cargo Door ARM
AG2.-Navigation Lights
AG3.-Cockpit Lights
AG4.-Thrust Reverser (Brake Input)
Stick.-Pitch and Roll
Yaw.-Yaw
Brake.-Brake
Make sure activate group 8 is enabled and then,
Throttle.-Throttle
diactivate 8 to turn off the C-5M engine
I have locked the head to the fuselage, only the tail cargo door can be opened.
Cameras:
F1 as default cockpit camera
F2: F2 camera
F3: F3 camera
F4: F4 camera
F5: the same as F1
F6: the third seat pilot camera
Hints for the operations
The C-5M should touch ground while dropping M1A1 and go, or, as close to the ground as possible. If you are high, the tank will crash into the ground, or get damaged. If you sink too fast, C-5M will crash into the ground.
pull VTOL slider down to the bottom first, and then, activate 1 to open the cargo door, about 1 second later, the door opened, the M1A1 will be detached from the cargo. Then you should push throttle up and pull stick down to let the C-5M climb up as soon as possible, while the same time, push VTOL slider to the default middle position to close the tail cargo door and slow down the M1A1 speed as soon as possible too. You can switch cameras here to watch the M1A1 and the C-5M. Then, find a place and land your C-5M, after it come to a stop, deactivate 8 to turn off C-5M, switch camera back to the M1A1, may it is not slipping down on a slope now, you could now turn 1 on to drive the M1A1 around, fire at any target, enjoy yourself!
