Oh damn. Ya i see that now. you even got a picture of the menu on the workshop page and everything. my bad, guess im blind.

When this mod is active, it has a dedicated entry in Mod Options. You can HP/Armor stats for Scary Tanks there.

@Derial_ch Ya same here just started a new play-through and found out i have to uninstall the game and reinstall because with this mod the second mission is nearly un-survivable. Kinda crap that toggling the mod and even wiping it from the mod list doesnt disable the mod.

Mod is still in effect ever after unsubbing, it's just annoying to get swamped by VTOLs and tanks that have as much health as they do. Though to give it a try but now I've made a mistake I cannot undo, dear lord, help.

(1)The YAML settings for tank and VTOL hps , if I use this mod do the YAML settings ONLY apply to vanilla tanks/Vtols ?


(2)AND all the new stuff you introduce HAS its own settings for Hps?

any chance of custom paper dolls for each type of vehicle?

if you want i can send you soem pictures of the mini i painted? Maybe someone can use that to model off of

The Challenger is already in, and the Behemoth too. I guess their BV values make them very rare to spawn.
I don't know anything about modeling, if someone sends me tank models, I can add it to Scary Tanks, until then I'm limited to vanilla game models.

out of curiosity when will you add challenger MBT's? Will you or someone you bring aboard make a 3d model for it?

1.1.4 Scary Tanks
Changed: simplified Tank.uasset damage processing and health components
Added: support for Coyote Missions player owned tanks custom marker widget

I love this mod, but I will say, I don't recommend using it in early campaign. It'll make the first couple missions in the Javelin impossible, it just doesn't have the firepower.

Ok I figured out the best way to find demolishers and manticores for cantina missions is to fight the clans. They dont have all the new tanks and instead have clan versions of vanilla tanks which counts.

Great mod but can you turn up the demolisher spawns up a bit. All these new tanks spawning is probably making them more scarce and its honestly impossible to complete the cantina mission now.

Lovely! Now if only we could play with tanks as well, instead of just mechs! :)

When I started seeing Brutus Heavy Tanks and Schrek Heavy Tanks it became clear to me- this is one of the corner stone mods that every modded play through of Mech Warrior 5 needs. maybe not everyone enjoys fighting dangerous tanks but those vehicles are a core part of what makes battle tech battle tech. I cant wait to see what else may get added in the future, whether it's the Deadly Dual-Guass Rifle Carnivore tank from Clan Wolf or a quite frankly spooky LRM 80 Carrier.

Good idea - done!

@ Stonehouse ☠
Thanks for the info!
I would recommend that you create a topic on the mod page so that this information is not lost among other comments.)

I'm finding that I get a crash on creating a new coop career with this mod enabled. I can get around it by disabling the mod, creating the career, re-enabling the mod and then loading into the already created career. Otherwise you just can't get through the career creation dialogue without a crash to the desktop with a UE4 error. Took ages to figure out it was this mod causing the issue so thought it was worth posting the workaround.

Is it just me or do the striker and other small vehicles not show up at all?

Well... It's getting late. X)
I think it makes sense to include some information on this subject in the description of the mod. Especially for inexperienced users like me. XD
Sorry, I'm not very experienced with MW5 modding yet. -_-
Okay, is there anything I need to do now? ._.

Do not use lom all mod load orders are already set up to work correctly.

@{LINK REMOVED}Wayz
Unfortunately, LOM does not give more specific information, but only informs about the presence of conflicts between mods. That's all I can refer to as a user who does not have deep knowledge of modding. ¯\_('—')_/¯
If I understood correctly from your words, then I need to put it after YAML in the load queue, right?

Not a conflict, it has to override.

hmm. Conflict with YAML. 🤔

Turrets need more love :3

Is there by chance a mod of this that only provides the extra tank variants without all the other gameplay changes?

Hello! Loving the mod. Is it possible to get a mod option for Aircraft and ground vehicle speed modifier?

Thank you :)

Thank's for keeping it updated.

Thanks just ran into the Coyote's convoy tanks that took no damage. :) updating now

1.1.2 Scary Tanks
Changed Tank Crush death so it turns off the collision now. Mechs wont yeet into the stratosphere when stepping on tanks now
Fixed compatibility with non-vanilla tanks (Coyote's missions), now they have HP and can be destroyed

1.1 Scary Tanks
Added ModOptions for tank crush death (default: off - tanks won't die when stepped on)
Removed Vehicle Active Probe AP (V)(ST) - only player team has target sharing so it was doing nothing for enemy teams unfortunately
Fixed tank HP display (limit to one fractional: 12.5 hp istead of 12.534)

I downloaded this and it broke YAML and now its still fucked even after i unsubscribed

Can the author find a way to make this work with the HP option from YAML? Or can the author create a x10 HP version of this mod?

Is this working in the new DLC? Love my scary tanks haha

@MattyK You just have to be more careful, early game with mods like this is where the game shines for me.

Users beware; as the name describes, this makes Tanks, really, fucking, scary.

Don't start a new Campaign with this loaded unless you wanna die in like mission 3 of the Prologue to a Manticore XD

0.9.5: Added HP Multiplier ini config (Mods/ScaryTanks_Config.ini) for HP % - 1.0 is 100%. Scales all tank components and VTOL HP accordingly.
Changed default load order to 6 so it overrides Yet Another Mechlab now.

that fixed it, thanks.

Please read yaml changelog.
You'll have to set scary tanks to a higher load order in its mod.json file.

the mod seems to be incompatible with the latest YAML update. no crashes, but the tanks no longer have seperate armor and structure, haven't seen any variants with different loadouts spawn either.

scorpions could use an armor nerf (only like 5-10 points), theyre way too hard to kill for how many spawn, especially with earlier mechs that have to fight them the most

Hey man! Great mod! Can you make this mod works with MercTech and PirateTech?

Loving this to be honest. Makes tanks and vehicles a much more credible threat.

they did make tanks and Vtols hit harder and survive more damage takes about 3 Medium full burst to kill a tank now Helies still go down in one shot if you can get the blades, same with vtols with the engines body shots same as tanks, about 3 blasts with medium to take down.

Thank you for the quick update! Is it my imagination or did they make tanks/ctols a bit tougher in the default game this patch?

Updated for DLC2 / Game Version 1.1.303

I have to ask if there is a way to turn down how many tanks spawn. I am effectively fighting normal battletech tanks with the absurd numbers MW5 still employs which is completely untennable with how tough they are.

Hey, awesome mod, for me it's exactly what MW5 needed. However I would to suggest if you can turn down the tanks life (only tanks, vtols and other stuff are ok) just a bit. I'm a veteran MW player and the difficult spike on mission 3 of a new campaing it's crazy. Almost breaking point.

I belive that with a little less health tanks can still be a powerfull units but give you a much needed chance to deal with them, specially when you are alone with no AI or Coop players. Cheers! And great work!

Tanks originally had one HP stat (10 for missile launchers, 30-40-ish for Manticores IIRC)
Now they do not have directional armor, but have separate Armor, Turret and Structure components with different HP pools.

MagnumGB's MercTech has directional armor for tanks.

Love the different unit types, But too damn scary for me. Makes starting a career a total nightmare. Upvoted anyway though because solid work.
