Kieme CMBS Ural - UAZ
 
Special thanks to BTR for providing the ideal green base textures.
Please note that wheels and normal maps are provided by the Ukrainian Ural/UAZ mod, if you have that installed both couples will have modded wheels.
 
This mod should be the closure for CMBS vehicles. I'll try to set up a recall post of all released mods after this one.

The Cross of Iron is a interactive story driven campaign of a German tank company from June 22, 1944 thru June 26. In this campaign you take the role of Hauptman Johan Clauss, Commander of 1.Kompanie, 501 PzAbt during the opening phases of Operation Bagration. The campaign is designed with the latest version of CMRT and it is semi-historical.
 
As Clauss you will be faced with completing missions you have been given and somehow keep your Kompanie alive. You will at specific times during the campaign be forced to make hard decisions that can change the path of the campaign for better or worse.
 
It is very important that you read ALL of the briefings and designer notes as these drive the storyline of the campaign. Also Clauss must be kept alive or the campaign will conclude.
 
Also there are a number of mod tags within the campaign which will result in a rather robust download which is why the campaign is only available on the GAJ site here http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/5458/details. The designer note for the campaign gives a detailed breakdown of the mods used and acknowledges the fine work done by the authors of those mods. In particular I believe that this is the first scenarios/campaign that uses a large part of Umlaut's outstanding factory mod, which in my opinion added the immersion effect that I wanted for this campaign.
 
To install unzip the zip file and copy the campaign file(.cam) to your campaign directory in CMRT and copy the folder panzermike (mods) to your data/z folder and you should be good to go.
 
I truly hope those who give it a try will find it enjoyable. I do feel it will be a difficult campaign to complete but it should be rewarding if you do.
 
Please direct any comments, suggestions etc to this thread so I can make any necessary improvements as they are brought to my attention. It was a great deal of time involved to create this campaign and I want it to be a enjoyable experience.

I'm still missing the UAZ and URAL, then no more vehicles left.

There are still a few vehicles to finish them all off. Meanwhile, I have started working on the interface, following master Juju's concepts, here you can see new "realistic" icons for the special equipment, all based on photographs of the real deal:
 
 


 
 
The idea is to improve a bit the lifeless interface without causing too much commotion. Weapons silhouettes should come next.
Changing the interface is a huge task, Juju's mad.

I'll take that as a "Yes".

Work in progress on the Russian MTLBs. Using BTR's green mod as base as Always.
 

I can report a weird result. I'm playing with v3.0. I checked with a fresh start of the campaign (no saved game) to see what was up. Both times I started up CMBN and loaded the campaign first thing.

When I first checked the campaign this morning, the AT gun was indeed missing. This team starts the first scenario loaded onto a halftrack, and I saw the crew (and ammo) but no gun on the back of the vehicle. Unloading the team put them on the ground with no gun. Loading and unloading them made no change. The AT gun was definitely absent.

However, just now, I fired up the campaign scenario again because I wanted to make sure of what I saw before posting here. This time the AT gun was present. It was limbered at the back of the halftrack and could be loaded and unloaded with no problem. The gun was definitely there.

I made no change to my installation between these two tests.

Option:
this mod includes the option to paint the equipment of BMP-2M in a different shade of green.
This is the standard BMP-2M of the mod:

This is the optional shade of green for BMP-2M (hereby shown with the light green version):

How to install:
If you want to see your BMP-2M with their modernized equipment in this different shade you'll need to rename this file: "bmp-2m_turret optional" by removing the word "optional", thus overwriting the "bmp-2m_turret" file.

Next mods will be dedicated to Russian BMP-2 and similar vehicles. I have the intention to make green only version of these.
 
I am experimenting with the BMP-2M by adding the "M rated" equipment in a different color to differentiate it and emphasize the retro-fitting (or modernization) concept, what's your opinion on this?
 

Next in line: a flavor objects add-on. Three new civilian vehicles can be added to the game, ported directly from combat mission shock force and adapted for the local scenario.
I will add a few weathering effects and release these three as a package:
 



 
For reasons out of my comprehension the windshields/Windows don't work. Besides that these models are not optimized for CMBS (some problems concerning shadows) and they are not "solid", so they won't give cover, even though the infantry appears to be lining near them realistically.
