**MikeyD's Russian M17 AA HT!**

[MikeyD]

I'm back to CMBB with a new mod!

- Russian Lend-Lease M17 AA Half-Track

I was tempted to use my recent CMAK M16 HT mod for CMBB's Lend-Lease M17. After all, the two do share the same bmp numbers. But what's the point of doing the work if its not accurate? So here's a totally reworked M17 using a proper International Harvester M5 chassis. Welded hull w round corners, proper fenders & doors. Interior filled with expended .50 cal shell casings. Soviet or Polish markings.

Here's the screenshot:

Well done, I suppose now, you must do Russian M5 ?

Thanks

A Russian M5 mod is going to give me fits. It doesn't use the CMAK M5 polygon so It would be 'back-to-the-drawing-board' (figuratively, not literally). But you've already got a good M5 HT mod. It was UncleTgt's excellent M5 HT mods from last May that inspired me to tackle the U.S. HT subject myself. As a matter of fact, it rather looks like we may have been basing our mods on the same source material, one or two generations removed!

Very nice. Especially good to see a Polish version.

Awesome, what perfect timing too. I just started playing CMBB a few days ago from being on the CMAK front for a couple of months. The M17 definitely needed a makeover. Thanks MikeyD, you rock!
