a workaround to the fact that the ballistic vests perk doesn't work with the dedicated vest slot, you can just give your tank blast padding instead. do this by replacing

(AbilityType=(AbilityName="TankWOTCBallisticVest", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_Unknown))

with

(AbilityType=(AbilityName="BlastPadding", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_Unknown))

in the XComClassData config of tank mod. since blast padding and ballistic vest both give 1 armor, it's close to the same thing, with the bonus of blast padding extra effect.
this change is not retroactive however, and will only work right upon promotion to squaddie.

pls fix a bug, i descover that your class cannot hack, its very hatefull when its your mission and only the tank soldier has enough actions to do but it cant because its bug

Is their a way to make ballistic vest perk work with Iridar's vest and plating overhaul? since you can equip on the amour itself then a vest slot.

Hello great mod btw. I added the Reflect skill to a bunch of my soldiers using Grimys Console Commands and was wondering if I could disable the reflect effect on my soldier's cause they were all looking like pixels with the effect. Could I just uncomment this line on the INI files?

[XComGame.X2AbilityTemplateManager]
+AffectingEffectRedirectors="TankWOTCReflectionEffect"

Thanks.

@Dęąth Viper: You deleted your mods? Or hid them? Did something happen? I just subscribed to your Geomancer and saw response on the comments later and then it and all your other were gone. T.T

Everything all good? Your class mods disappeared, I really enjoyed Scout and a few of the others quite a lot. I hope they come back.

Leaving a comment here as idk how else to reach you but all of your other proficiency mods disappeared form the workshop. What happened?

Hey all your other mod suddenly disapeared is it normal ? what happened?

Hey question about the ballistic vest skill, is it possible to change the place where the ability ''sees'' where a vest is equipped.

For example (AbilityType=(AbilityName="TankWOTCBallisticVests", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_Unknown))

to

For example (AbilityType=(AbilityName="TankWOTCBallisticVests", ApplyToWeaponSlot=eInvSlot_Vest))

Or is that the wrong line to edit?

Does anyone else have an issue where the tank can't hack? Like the symbol shows up in the target preview thing but it's grayed out and there's no hack action available.

Does anyone know what the class is called like in the code? I'm trying to get the starting soldiers mod to give me tanks but it's not working so I must have the name wrong. I tried "Tank" and "TankClassWOTC" and those weren't it.

Yes, via config edits. If you have a mod that has the cosmetic you want to use, find the template name for the gremlin and insert it in the config of this mod

is there a way to change the tanklin ? like change skin or use spark bit ?

need a lwotc one

yeah changed protection protocol from 2 "half turns" to 4 and it works fine it works as if it was 2 half turns, like it should.

What I really don't link much is the Here I Am I find that it should work more like mimetic hologram or when an advent soldier marks your guy, that mostly everybody goes after that target.

Melee?

while i doubt anyone will update this mod it'd be cool to have ballistic shield abilities

Can't hack systems at all. hack icon is greyed out.

The bug still present? Its playable with LWoTC?

protecton protocoll to 3 turns worked for me for a while, now not anymore
so i tried 6 turns, doesnt work,
but 10 works, it ends then at the end of second turn

Protection Protocol is STILL borked for me after making the changes in the config as somebody pointed out below. I tried setting it to 3 and also setting it to 6 it makes no difference. It still disengages on the same turn. Is there any way to fix this? Its ridiculously useless!

does this work with lwotc

EDIT: for anyone that has protection protocol borked, go find the config under workshop content folder and edit the duration from 2 to 3 at least. works great now for me

protection protocol is borked and instantly disengades on the same turn, providing no benefit

lw2 classes and perks version?

So the mod page should probably contain what they actually do, yea they are a tank but what makes them a tank?

Can Punishment and Pre-fire Activate at the same time?

whats the tank class id?
i tried just tank but nothing happened

Hello sry guys I am just busy in RL. This is a hobby project of mine. @ Wolfcub05: you should imagine the tanklin as a own weapon class, so no I don't think gremlin abilities will work with tanklin abilities. Have a nice day.

I am unsure if you are still actively replying to questions. But if you'll humour mine. Do Gremlin abilities work with the tanklin? for example. if i *somehow* manage to get a gremlin heal ability in the tank class. will the tanklin work with the ability?

this was difficult to find until i found rpgo i didn't know where this was. just fyi

Turns out that Ballistic Vests only adds the bonus armor to vests worn in utility slots, not a dedicated vest slot. I think I'll just swap it out for a perk that adds a point of armor without requiring a vest item.

I'm also noticing that the Ballistic Vest perk isn't adding any armor pips in my game. Then I thought maybe it meant shielding, but that doesn't seem to be the case either. With the last update being in 2017 I don't have much hope for one now, but I wanted to comment. I'll see if I can fix it on my end.

Hey can I use your custom perks for a class modd of my mine?

Using the Ballistic Shields mod with this would be amazing.

Is it possible to use the MakeSoldierAClass command in order to change the class of a soldier to a tank (turn it into a tank) https://commands.gg/xcom2/makesoldieraclass - and what is the name (for this command), the class of a soldier from mod?

I turned on this mod after already started the game (I already have 8 contacts with resistance, for example). How do I get a tank class soldier, preferably in a guaranteed way?

hehy can you make a psi class with 3 trees as well please? that would be amazing! Id pay you for the effort

Hey Guys, what does "motivation" have for an effect? It`s activated in the perk challenge, if you kill the challenged enemy.
thanks

Something I think this class really needs is some way to repair shredded armor. There's only one other mod that I know of that does this, but it messes with the Blast Padding perk.

How do I increase the number of Team Shield charges the Tank can use? I have several mods that cause battles to last a while, so I'd like the ability to use it more than once per battle.

So, what weapon would be best suited to a tank? One of those Glaives?

Ballistic vest passive doesn't provide the armor it is supposed to.

YES im SO happy this was ported for WOTC its been my fave class through LW2. thanks for your great work

Wow. Thank you for writing your name on credit.
I am preparing for more accurate translation, so please wait for a moment.

Would be nice if the perks and abilities this has were listed in a discussion thread.

Can someone make a version for Mushashi's RPG mod? :3

Are you gonna update this to use Claus' Ballistic Shields mod?

Anyone know how to make team shield a free ablity??

I already posted this message in the LWPP version of this mod but I'm guessing there's a bigger chance of getting a reply if I post it here as well.

I have the mod [WOTC] LW2 Classes and Perks enabled. Is there a version of this mod compatible for both WOTC and a mod similar to LWPP? As far as I've been able to discern for myself, it's either LWPP or WOTC and there's no Tank Class mod that supports both. (I currently use the WOTC version but it limits the Tank to Colonel level and I'd love to be able to get to Brigadier as well)
