Mr. Clark

Man, second pic is photorealistic! Thanks for the Star option! Now when can we get it?

I gotta say that I think this tank is your best work yet Tiger! I can't wait to get it! (I also kinda like the Star on the front...)

I've OFTEN sold games on EBaY, and received very nearly the store price for them! In fact, I've occasionally received retail price for a used game... I have no idea WHY people bid like that, but it makes me happy!

I certainly take your word for it! ... and I also concur with Babra.

I hate to jump in here... but to be completely honest I must also admit that I have recently noticed my tanks tossing a little too much helpful smoke the enemies way. In fact, just today in the Paris scenario, I had two platoons firing at one squad in a building. Instead of helping out with some MG fire, the two tanks fired smoke, allowing the enemy squad to retreat out of site... No other threats were present at the time.

First off... GREAT post! Secondly, I agree with firing both the MG and the flame at once. However, if I understand your post correctly in the statistics, there is a discrepancy... in a different book by the same author. In Encyclopedia of German Tanks of WWII, the vehicle is listed as having 2 X 1.4 cm flammenwerfer, and 2 X 7.92mm mg34 or 42 EDIT: looking further, it looks like the flame can traverse 90 degrees on either side.

Speaking of Rarity... How Rare would the "plus" models of Tanks be in the game??? Anyone know? Thanks. ------------------ "Can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead! Beware! Here comes the Spiderman!"

LOL... for some reason this thread really cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh, even if un-intentional! (DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a flame, or sarcasm!)

If the graphics in CM had been enhanced before release to the level of top notch FPS, etc., then I and several others here with medium or low end systems would not even be able to play the game. For a wargame, CM's "out of the box" graphics are WAY ahead of anything seen so far. With mods (and the ability to pick and choose which we use) CM not only has FANTASTIC graphics, but the ability to let us personal the look of EVERYTHING in the game. I'll take this option ANY DAY!

Sorry to hear about that miniatures Forum. I'm sure you are correct when you say that there are probably dozens of cases of this same event...

LOL!

The Forums at the 21st Century Toys (basically war action figures) website was COMPLETELY closed down. This happened because some of the forum participants would not stop refering to an action figure of a vietnam "enemy" soldier using racist, derogitory terms. They also had a few people posting who were, at the very least, Nazi idolizers. This obviously reflected poorly on the company itself, and on collectors of soldier action figures in general. I'm DEFINATELY not saying anything that bad has happened here! However, from that experience I do certainly understand how much this Forum reflects on BTS as a company. Thus, it's perfectly understandable to me why this forum is monitored so closely. [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 01-27-2001).]

Saddlebags on the turrets! YAY! Bring it on! EDIT: Now I'll have a VERY tough time choosing between Tiger's "dirty" look and Marco's Saddlebags and detail. [This message has been edited by Mr. Clark (edited 01-27-2001).]

Hey MAX! Are the new Marco Shermans going to be complete sets? (No previous requirements necessary)

How about Fuzzy Swastikas? um... probably not... ------------------ "Can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead! Beware! Here comes the Spiderman!"

Great Goats! Those are gorgeous! As an Allied player, I can't wait! ------------------ "Can he swing from a thread? Take a look overhead! Beware! Here comes the Spiderman!"

Sorry, should have posted this earlier! Sys pecs: AMD K6-2 @ 380mhz 80 mb ram Voodoo 3 3000 pci (16mb of course) I get slowdown on VERY LARGE or HUGE battles, but I can live with that... It's the blasted slowdown/jumpiness when drawing lines that's pissing me off!

I lo res'd the Shermans and they still look good! Had some pink stuff show up on the treads and gun, but just painted it out. Very nice "dirty" look to them!

Placing tanks in trees slows the rotation in the game??? Damn! This game has SOOOO much in it!

I forwarded your JEEP order to MOJO.

Even with MODS, my game runs fine graphically, except... When I am playing a large battle, and I draw either a move or fire line, it gets HYPER jumpy/slow. This is the ONLY time it happens! Why would the graphic of the MOVE/TARGET line cause so much of a problem??? (It only happens WHILE drawing the line... if the line is just sitting there it's fine.)

I'm currently looking forward to RED FACTION... a First Person Shooter for the PS2... Due in March. (Dives into Foxhole!)

Here is a link to the THREAD with my Kubelwagen MOD. Page down there and you will find a link to d/load it. http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/014311.html

Bump! ...and disregard my last post here, I NEVER did work on a Jeep!

Jinkies! I can't get any of the links to work...
