Mord

I can't believe I didn't think of this before but gliders would be great atmosphere for airborne scenarios. They were highly requested for BN and MG scenarios way back. Some intact and broken ones would look incredible on the battlefield. As well as various parachute options that could be placed around.
 
 
Mord.

Carnage and death, the twin reapers of the battlefield, have feasted well this day.


As comrades rush to fill the gaps left by the dead and dying...

 
another finds he has had his fill and flees the banquet of misery and destruction.

 
Mord.

Another unfortunate victim of the Wiesel. Not a single crewman bailed from the tinfoil coffin.

A forensic battlefield examination of the 20mm penetrations. Any wonder why there were no survivors?

Good stuff. New Wave/Synthi Pop is my time travel music. The best period was around 78-82 (with exceptions), before it got overly produced and derivative. When I think Cold War era or 80's, that's my soundscape.  I've spent the last decade researching bands and songs I may have missed from back then.

Read the book a long time ago. It's pretty good.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't reply sooner.

I'll gladly accept the praise upon me and the bunker but that wasn't my mod, M1A1TC made that. I think I incorporated it into the old Civil War mod for SF1.

That works for me because it's the one I always use.
JuJu's biggest design flaw, and trust me I know this one personally and painfully, was making all those options. And I think I can speak for him when I state; that we get so caught up in the creating, we want to have options on top of options for the players to enjoy. But somewhere down the road we have to update that sh** or make one for a new title! Then not only do we want to match what we did before (can't be less than!), we want to improve it, maybe add extra and lots of new dazzle and shine. Then when there's four titles (my case seven), and we're going on the third or fourth version of the mods, we sit back and whisper to ourselves..."My god, what have I done?" Followed by a soft cracking sound in our brain LMAO! The tragically ironic part is that 90% of all that extra effort won't ever get used by the players. It was and is, blood, sweat and tears for some phantom dragon that we are chasing.
Moral of the story, Ithikial, save your sanity, less is more.
And thanks for doing this.

Well, Steve said that the Engine 5 upgrade was going to focus on performance issues so here's hoping something can be done about performance.

Holy s***! Look who is back! Nice to see you, man.

Bootie, did you receive the Globe, Anchor and Palm SF2 mod? If not let me know and I'll resend it.
 
Mord.

PM me your email and I'll send them out.
 
Mord.

No. Sorry, I don't see them anywhere. But trust me, you don't want them. They are complete crap. They were the second portrait mod I ever made and absolutely horrible looking. They weren't even on par with the Normandy or FB portraits that are still on Greenasjade's. It's not being hard on myself either, they were objectively bad. LOL.

Thanks. It's gonna be a while. I still have to finish the Normandy portraits. That shouldn't be too much longer. I've been bouncing back and forth between modding FoG II Medieval and the various CM titles to keep me from completely burning out. But I'll get to Cold War eventually.
 
Get yourself one of these. The price is right. No man should have to sacrifice one CM game for another! GIVE ME HARD DRIVE OR GIVE ME DEATH! LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!

Ok. Finished these up for @GhostRider3/3.  Bunch of different sizes and locations for the Abrams and the Flatbed. Humvee has one size. Should be enough to make everyone happy. Didn't add them to any green or camo vehicles because I didn't think it would look right or realistic. Kinda like they were shipped over to Syria super fast before they could be converted to the desert colors.
 

LOL. Yeah, the splash screen sucks but I didn't feel like selling it any harder. I hadn't planned on doing this so it's all off the cuff. Still took me 4 hours though! Anyway, hope they do the job.

LOL. Well, I didn't see that plot twist coming!
 
Speaking of plot twists...
LOW and BEHOLD! Guess what I found buried in a ZZZZZ folder in my old installation of SF1?
Erwin's copy is correct. Not only is it 2014, the "date created" and "date modified" are switched around on mine too! Says I created it in 2017 and modified it in 2014. These are the only old mod files I have checked that do this. WTF? So, I guess my memory is complete crap. I would've never guessed I did these that late into SF1's life.
Anyway, the version I have is for SF1, so I am gonna do a quick mod and switch them over to the SF2 BMPs. Seems I have a couple in there for Humvees as well. The only problem is you'll have to switch them out when you play Army scenarios or else all your tanks will sport a globe, anchor and palm.
Stay tuned.

As cool as a 3rd iteration would be, god how I loathe the thought of how long it's gonna take to add what we already have.
 
Mord.

Traditionally Erwin has always gotten it wrong about the Early War stuff. He has a lot of wishful thinking. Somewhere along the line he got the idea the early Western Front was part of the plan. He's been corrected a few times but god, it's been 10 years, 7 titles, 8 Modules, 1 Battle Pack, 2 Scenario Packs, 3 Upgrades, and 200,000+ threads, so you can't expect him to remember all of it! BUT, BUT, BUUUUUUUUUT, to be fair, up until recently the plan was supposed to be BF working backwards until the East Front hit Barbarossa.
However, as we know with BF, plans change, especially when they say they aren't gonna do something. So it remains to be seen. But here's something to chew on, once FB gets its module, that is it for WWII. We all know they aren't gonna stop producing WWII content. So the question is, what will it be? Another title? Vehicle Packs? New nations? The mythical CM3?
