The JgdPz IV is a superlative fighting vehicle. Well armoured and armed with a low profile it is a sublime tank killer. Although extremely hard to knock out head on, the JgdPz IV's biggest problem is its vulnerability to being flanked. In groups or supported by AT ordnance on the flanks, it is a superior AFV, especially if it is able to achieve hull-down status facing a target. The JgdPz Iv is Relatively cheap, more effective and durable than a Hetzer,and, in my opinion, a better bet than a JagdPanther which has a higher profile and tends to attract a lot of attention. The JgdPz IV is a little underrated and this is a strong advantage.

Noticed the same thing when I was trying to knock out a immobile panther, I sent four squads at it and after 5 turns, it was still not abandoned and had killed most of my men assaulting it.

DD's total terrain conversion has pretty sexy marsh, ford and water tiles.

Whoa!!! were in a world of cess here!!!

I think he's trying to say there should be a way of rubble spilling into the street etc, modelling the way collapsing buildings tend to fall outwards etc. Currently the streets remain completely clear even when several buildings have collapsed next to them.

The 'Roo' is not a turretless Sherman, its a Canadian Ram w/o the turret. On the point Put a Tiger and a Sherman together (drive a Tiger past a knocked out Shermie or summink), and the Tiger has a lower profile than the Sherman, despite it being bigger in real life and having a larger silhouette in the info screen. Another of those strange anomolies.

Michael, the Queen's English' does exist. It is the 'proper' way of pronuciation and use of language in the English language as opposed to using slang, colluqial speech or regional accents. Yes it does refer to the way the ruling monarch speaks. She is supposed to represent the correct way of speaking.
Martyr said 'ORDNANCE is military materiel: weapons, ammo, AFVs, gear, etc..
Are you sure??? I believed ordnance is applied solely to ammunition, i.e. tank rounds are ordnance, tanks are not. Artillery shells are ordnance, artillery pieces are not. Is this wrong????

The new unrestricted setting is to allow people the freedom to play around with concepts, 'what ifs' etc. If you want to play a battle against the AI and not choose your units, then use the infantry, armour, motorised or combined arms settings. Of course you are not going to get a balanced or realistic force from the 'unrestricted' setting.
Jesus, some people...

Croda he's probably just taunting you to see if he can splean some info from you!!

Right, spent a bit more time on these. Just finished the non-foliaged one. Noticably I've taken a lot of the damage out and added mud to the leading edges etc.
Take a look...
I'm afraid only having the experience of using paint shop pro for a day I don't really know how to make the skirts appear bent. Maybe when I get a bit more experienced, I'll come back to them.

Before I send them off, should I tone down the amount of damage on the skirts, remove it altogether or leave as is???

foliage looks good though...
Thanks, I was using guess work for the damage, but I assume the skirts have been stolen from destroyed vehicles which got a serious HE pounding in the side. Maybe I'll sort them out later.

I dont think the unioversal carrier needs to be modded. It looks pretty good as it is.

Cool I worked it out.

Being a bored student I powered up an evaluation demo of paintshop pro 7 and have spent this morning and afternnon playing about. It's only my first mod so don't be too critical. Have a look, its based on Tiger's (JohnS)JgdPz IV mod.
Tiger's original mod...
This mod is based on Tiger's. Mainly, I made it slightly less brownish, added damage to the track skirts and added kill rings on the barrel.
And with foliage...
I'm waiting for Tiger's permission to release it publicly but if he agrees I need someone to host it. If you're interested let me know. Thanks.
BTW can anybody tell me how I can get these pictures displayed. I don't know how to get photopoint.com photos displayed.

LOL! This is starting to sound like the Cesspool.
What I don't get is even though you have a strange term for something, you still seem to know what the American equivalent is. So who's stealing from whom? It's like French Canadians pretending that they don't know English. Please!
Right that's it you rude little colonial!!
A spanner is what you might term a wrench (funny thing for using on bolts etc. like on bikes).
English is based upon Saxon, Norse, Celtic, a bit of French, and Latin, not particularly Germanic although some Saxon influences are there!
Also it is underwear, not knickers.
It is underwear, not knickers however, pants are underwear(like Homer Simpson') and NOT trousers which are very different.
But, hey, when the British can come up with a tasty dish, let me know. For the world knows that the British can't make a good tasting dish if their lives depended on it.
Have you never tried steak and chips??? Or Bangers and mash?? oh how miserable your lives must be!! Anyway you show me a good American dish that hasn't been raped or stolen from another culture!!

Ahhh but that's because we're educated and have a learned understanding of the wider world, your ignorance is no defense. (You walked into that
)P.S. Last time I was in NYC, A woman asked me where I was from, I told here England. She asked me if that was near Mexico. Ha ha!!! Another time I was in NYC another woman asked me when I told her I came from England whether they spoke English there!!She was amazed at how good my English was!!! OMG you crazy Americans
P.P.S. You're right this is very close to the cess pool, it's hanging on for dear life!

I got it, Commonwealth Armies like to make up some B.S. term to stand for an ordinary everyday item. So what if I started calling a battlemap, a war-parchment. Or a helmet, nogginwear.
Right Maximus, for your cheekiness, Im going to have to flame you now!!!
Where does the English language come from, England or the USA??? You may speak English but you Yanks should remember you are merely colonials who have grossly misused and damaged our great language.
A spanner is the correct term, wrench is wrong.
Petrol is a fossil based fuel, gas is the stuff that comes out of your arse, it also floats around, methane is a good example.
Its not a muffler, its an exhaust, for that matter its a boot not a trunk.
Its not a vaction, its a holiday.
Its a nappy not a diaper.
Im a Brit not a Limey, although you are still a Yank because it's our language and we get to make the rules. Understand????
One other thing colour is spelt with a 'U', and through is not spelt 'thru' even if it is easier to stick on signs for fast food restaurants.
I hope this has been an enlightening English lesson for you!!!
P.S. The British captured the Enigma Code Machine and decoded it entirely on their own. U571 had nothing to do with it. Go make your own legends up or steal someone elses!!

Gremlin, D-Day's planning around moon cycles was to do with the level of the tides, at low tide more obstacles would be exposed, rather than the amount of light or glare the moon giving.

But then how many people would complain that the graphic suggests their Sherman was taken out by a forward hull shot from and 88 when it was actually a rear hull shot from a 20mm cannon?
David
David, there is a BMP for the frotn of the turret, and one for the back. If the back was hit, it would show damage using the back turret damage BMP. If it was hit in the front then the front would look damaged. Its not hard to program, the damage would have to look quite generic and generalised i.e. you couldn't have damage modelled specifically for individual weapon types like a 20mm damage BMP, 75mm damage BMP etc. but it would be interesting just to have an idea of how your tanks look by the end of a battle. Slapdragon has got the idea.
BTW David, tank crews often knew where a shell might have hit them from. You can hear the thud, vehicles rocked when hit etc.
-
I dont mean accurate damage, just, say a replacement texture showing random damage. if the left hull side got it, then that a left hull damage texture could replace the original one. I understand it would be difficult to accurately portray the damage done by individual rounds etc.

I was wondering last week (away from my pc for the weekend) whether CM2 will have damaged/destroyed BMP's for vehicles when they are knocked out. Currently the turret just gets pushed to the side etc. but I think it would be cool having destroyed BMP's showing blackened tanks or vehicles with pentration holes. On the outside chance, it would also be cool if, say a turret got hit but the shot deflected or something, then there was a damage BMP showng the vehicle in a less than perfect condition. Will this happen or be possible???

Strangely, I had a .50cal knock out my JgdPz IV from about 300 meters from a 1:OO position. That shouldn't happen too often.
