This mod is for all the players frustrated with the cartoony nature of Zero Hour units and buildings. We intend to replace every fanciful unit in Zero Hour with its closest possible real world equivalent, without changing the unit's capabilities.

Description
USA tanks will be getting visual upgrades when the "composite armor" is researched.
Ah yes the Alpha channel I still cant figure out how to do it :)
Nice model, very proffesional.
PM me if you want some help with that, the internet is lacking lots of ZH mod tutorials.

Battlefield 3 reactive armor, eh?
there is no reactive armor, it seems to be mesh armor, the US use mesh to stop small explosives like RPGs
In real life, the stryker gets this sort of slat/space armor to prevent certain types of projectiles (shaped charge) from penetrating the hull. In Battlefield 3 this is erroneously referred to as "reactive armor" on the LAV (IRL this type of armor would not deflect tank rounds). In Zero hour it is much simpler, it just gives +100 HP :).

Yep, I know, but I guess this was inspired by BF3.
Please dont do the CoD thing, if someone creates something like in a famous game people will always relate to that...
Except COD never even created anything ;). And to answer your question, no this was not inspired by BF3.
You're right, and it looks really nice!
excuse me, cod cod 2 and cod 4 were awesome pieces of art - theres your war :) <grabs popcorn>

oh, please, I dont say that Battlefield invented this thing, this "armor" was invented long time ago, but it only appeared in your mod and after bf3 came out. So here is my point.
example Slat Armour: Images.google.nl
Reactive Armour: Images.google.nl
Additionally we will probably rename the upgrade to something like "additional armor" or something, since "composite armor" is built into tanks like the Abrams by default anyways IRL.
you could make the upgrade so that it gives the LAV reactive armor instead of mesh...
IT ISNT A LAV ITS A STRYKER. LAV IS MARINES STRYKER IS ARMY FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!
Now this is a very nice idea
Absolutely Brilliant work guys! Keep up the good quality.
Love it...
Slat. Who said that?
BF3 error make enyone think its reactive armor, lol. its slat armor, just like doctorheredoctor said
i've heard of it referred to as "cage" as well though. point still stands, reactive is entirely different..iirc, the israeli take on it is a layer of c4 (or similar) which detonates and deflects the blast away from the vehicle. yeah, this toooootally isn't reactive armor...sigh.
