Warts 'n' all Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 An interesting picture which might prove to be a bit of a challenge, or two, for the mod boys. I don't think we yet have a British tanker leather jerkin in the game. And I've yet to see a Semovente 75/18 with German markings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Leather jerkins for the British were modded a long time ago in CMBN, but may need to be updated. Don’t recall who did them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I think they came in a uniform-and-divisional patches mod that included a British and Canadian divisions. My very foggy memory thinks Dark Canuck may have done it or had some involvement with??? Not able to check my mod back-up folders cuz they’re on an exterior hard drive my son is using, and won’t be seeing him for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) I took a quick look in my "z" folder and found benparks mod. Fired up a mission and had a tank crew bale out, two out of the five were wearing jerkins. Goes to show how much attention I pay to crews, probably too annoyed about the tank getting taken out. Although in my defence the modded jerkin does lack the sheen of the jerkins worn by these guys, probably a very difficult thing to achieve.

quakerparrot67 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 w&a- you're right about the 'matte' finish on the jerkins, they're supposed to be leather but they really dont look it. i've been thinking aout getting rid of the jerkins at least on the airborne troops in the mod- they really look out of place there. cheers, rob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Yup, that's the one I was thinking of, Ithikial. Warts and quakerparrot67, I think there's a way to get the sheen, but it probably will make the whole bmp texture shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 I was nice of you guys to pitch in. I wouldn't have even noticed myself.I'm one of those people who either have tank crews hide, or I send them to the rear then forget about them. In the meantime I think that my suggestion for the Semovente mod might be easier said than done. The actual vehicle would be OK for our modders, but then they'd have to mod the crew's uniform and voices. I don't even know how many of them the Germans pressed into service, although I expect John Kettler knows the exact amount and what the panzer crews had for their breakfast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
