Vehicles in the ME starting with underscore

[PatrickAWlson]

What are the vehicles starting with underscore.  For example, the only Sherman available is _M4a2 as opposed to M4a2.  AI only (I think that's what the _b25draf  means)?

It is "human" tank driver.

They're the player-controllable tanks, e.g., M4A2 from Tank Crew. They behave very differently compared to the 'standard' ground vehicles.

Can be used as AI, but require more resources in your missions as well.

I was wondering the same thing myself as I noticed I could assign custom skins to the underscore (i.e., player) tanks but not the regular ones.  I had an issue where I could not get the underscore tiger tanks to fire on demand but when I replaced them with normal tiger tanks they would fire just fine.  However, the underscore tanks did fire okay in a different scenario I wrote when I tried to test this bug, so I'm baffled in some circumstances.  I also no tice that the underscore tanks are missing their turrets in the mission editor.

Yeah been that way for months.

I'm late to this discussion (I did a search) but was also curious about the _underscore_ vehicles, particularly the _MkV-D Panther tank.   I noticed that when I replaced several "MkV-G" Panthers with the "__MkV-D" Panther that my frame rates dropped.  

 

Thanks for the clarification that these are the player vehicles which use more resources.  This is good info to know!
