Volume 2 - 8 vehicle design
The general body of this small truck that Duan Mu Xinghong chose just now is one of the initial bodies, and the appearance and data are decent - the data of the load and space of this body, although it is not very good, but the data is quite balanced.
"Next, it's about choosing the armor thickness for this body, if you don't choose it, it's the initial, initial and other armor thicknesses. Duanmu Xinghong introduced this step to the three roommates.
Then, Duan Mu Xinghong added an explanation: "In the design mode, you can set the four data of the front, side, rear and upper armor of the vehicle separately. It is necessary to make reasonable arrangements for armored vehicles. Different amounts of armor determine the price of a unit - the difference in price of a combat unit may not be huge, but when added in batches, it can be significant. So, we have to find a way to spend our money where it's best for us. Okay, let's talk about the details later, and let's introduce it basically. ”
After Duan Mu Xinghong finished speaking, he set the data of the armor in each position of this body.
For a Scout unit, there is no need for heavy armor - thick armor will increase the weight and, to a certain extent, increase the recruitment cost of the unit.
The front and rear armor of this reconnaissance vehicle is slightly thicker, followed by the sides, and the top armor, according to Duanjupit, does not need to be very thick.
Duanmu Xinghong then briefly explained the reason for the slightly thicker armor in the lower front and rear - as a reconnaissance vehicle, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of its mission - such a vehicle will not be blindly used to carry the line, and it is necessary to fully consider the situation when it turns around and retreats.
The next step is to install the power system, which is naturally a steam engine of all kinds for the game Designer Battlegrounds: Age of Steam.
Soon, a steam engine was installed in the "body" of the "pick-up truck".
This steam engine looks somewhat like a "cylinder" on an old locomotive.
The chimney that came with the steam engine, protruding upwards from the "cylinder".
Naturally, it is also necessary to set the armor of the steam engine - otherwise it is not good to blow it up directly after a little attack.
Next, it is the choice between vehicle wheels, tracks and wheel shoes, and Duan Mu Xinghong chose the wheel shoes with both characteristics.
Then there's the turret or artillery design - the game's vehicle design, which supports both tank and tank destroyer types.
"You can choose the right turret, of course, if you want to make a tank annihilation combat unit, you only need to select the 'special turret' in the turret step, and after choosing the right turret or 'no turret', you will go directly to the weapon selection. Duan Mu Xinghong introduced to everyone.
"Hmm...... Like this body, it doesn't have a formal turret mounting point...... So, just select the 'Special Turret' and install the Steering Machine and High and Low Machine Combo at the designated mounting point. ”
The weapon mounting point of this body is located on the front passenger side of the car.
Next, there are the steps to install the weapon.
Duanmu Xinghong chose two 12.7mm water-cooled machine guns as weapons - such weapons are a good match for the small "special turret", and at the same time, they are also very suitable for the positioning of the reconnaissance vehicle.
"Okay, and you're good to go. Duanmu Xinghong chose a dark green ordinary livery, "Okay, a unit is finished like this!"
A few people on the side watched attentively and with relish as Duanmu Xinghong completed the entire design process.
"Isn't it very simple?" Duanmu Xinghong looked at the three roommates on the side, "If you think there is some trouble, just put it forward, your suggestions are the driving force for my progress! Okay, let's design our own combat units!"
After a serious and detailed demonstration on Duanjupiterhong's side, a few people quickly learned to design game units in the game.
"Okay, after you wait to design other combat units, let's start customizing it yourself first, and let's explore this game first. Duanmu Xinghong said to his three roommates, "We have a dinner party in our e-sports club in the evening, welcome the newcomers to have a dinner, come back and have a strong battle with you!
"Yes, yes! Sounds very interesting!" said his roommate Huai Feiyu excitedly, "I'll wait and design some powerful vehicles!"
"Let's all plan first!" said another roommate next to him, "Let's think about what special tactics and vehicles we can design!"
"Alright, come on, everyone! I have an event in the afternoon, and I'm going to have dinner with the members of the esports club! Duanmu Xinghong picked up his mobile phone, looked at the screen, quickly cut his hairstyle, and then walked out of the bedroom door in style.
