Hey Maximus , for all the good work that you do and the community service yer involved in....one bump coming up ps can you send me the file please

I would like to see 1. Muddy snow / slush 2. Blue fumes/smoke exaust from tanks when they start to move. 3. Trench systems. 4.The Stuka Ju 87 G +37mm cannons / Henschel Hs129 with 75mm Luft-Pak. 5. Improved optics in German tanks. 6. Soviet trained dogs with TNT charges on their back 7. Proper winter uniforms / parkas with their id armbands. 8. Ability to hide A/T guns in buildings. 9. A totally random QB generator. 10. Soviet Naval Infantry.

I played aQB recently with FJ vs Brit Army , had a universal carrier advance towards a wood......whooosh a Panzerschreck knocked out the carrier. The crew bailed , composed themselves and then rushed the Pz Sk team....they did the dirty work on them , and then did a runner. Needless to say i sat in utter awe.....nearly immune to surprises now.....nearly Måkjager

My ears are only ringing now from the thunder of artillery barrages. Thx for the info David.

Yeah , watch out for the CM Borg....he/she/it is lurking somewhere out there....creeps up on you...and before you know it , you have been assimilated. Its pure luck that i have survived this long with out the attention of CM Borg Btw , welcome to CM , enjoy the game and have fun.

Further research led to the development of the LuftHamster....this was a dedicated ground attack munition , consisting of a hamster fitted with the siren's from Ju 87 Stuka's. These deadly weapons played on the nerves of the enemy by being launched whilst they( the enemy) were going to the latrine .....by not giving them even one private moment of peace.....unfortunately due to short comings in the S.N.I.F.F device the LuftHamsters had a tendency to attack ANY detectable foul ordour....with consequent friendly fire losses.

Hi M Hofbauer, that pict of the Tiger with the double crosses on the rear stowage bin is a vehicle belonging to the Schwer Panzer-Abteilung 503, at that time it was based to the south of the Kursk bulge in June 1943.You will notice that the stowage bin is taken from a PzIII / IV. This unit had a very successful career, destroying over 1700 Allied tanks and nearly 2000 cannons( no mean feat). Indeed this unit had some of the most successful Panzer Aces going of which the top dog was Feldwebel Knispal with a tally of 162 enemy tank kills (24 more than M. Wittman). Turning to the subject of paint....It is very very difficult to determine what shade of paint is being used from b/w photos, the more so considering that there were a number of sources from which the paint was obtained(german and captured) , the method of application, how much it was thinned and with what. At the moment i am building a 1/76th scale model of a early Tiger 1 in service with sPzAbt 505 , i want to paint it in a scheme that appears in 2 reputable books....but they both give a different colour ( red brown/green) for the camouflage oversprey on the base yellow.Seeing as there was an element of chaos in the production of all war material in Germany during the war , the freedom of units to apply their own schemes , use of captured paint , it seems reasonable to me that you cannot nail down a particular colour shade and say use this and only this.I have talked to Hilary Doyle ( Tom Jentz's co-author) regarding paint/camouflage as applied to german wwii vehicles vis a vis scale models. He informed me that the variations in paint shade ( choclate brown/ red brown/pinky brown , dark green/ olive green/ pea green) was a fact and that nobody could really argue that my colours on my model vehicle was wrong. I think Tiger (John) is using his references to bring this to our community with his mods, which reguire hard work and time to do....( i'm trying to do my own...and i have the bruises on my head to prove it ) I can understand the Grogs viewpoint as well....when you see a colour plate of a vehicle ...it kinda gets locked down in you memory...hence when something different appears it causes conflict with what you "Know". That is not to say that either one or the other is right or wrong....its just all part of the human condition. Respectfully yours Måkjager

To Charles I have read your post regarding Mr Jentz's assertion that the King Tigers frontal armour was vunlrable to the 6 pounder gun in a very small area. What i cannot understand is how a gun with a calibre that is nearly twice as small can acheive a penertration on 80mm of armour sloped at 21ø ??? Would it have something to do with the way that the armour touughness is coded in that some armour that was used contained flaws later on in the war?? Kind regards Måkjager

Thanks for clearing that up Elijah, guess it was just too damn cold for the Gerbils to bother to travel 50m in the cold and dark to see what was causing all that racket .

Well (scratching head in bemusment) I have just finished playing a QB of 400 pts against the AI . In the AAR my forces had gained a total victory , causing 112 casualties (31 KiA) but when i check the kill tally for all my units, not one shows a kill????? Could it have something to do with the fact that this action took place at night whilst snowing?? Thanks for any light that can be shone on this subject.

PzJg IV... nope not unless he sticks his head out of the forward brake drum hatch

From the top of the Mountain , as a new day Dawns , all mac user's scream and shout "Praise be to Bop and the Rat" , then off to the nearest pub to buy them a drink.....mb even buy them the pub. Thanks in advance guys. Your hard work is appreciated. Måkjager

Well said John , well said
