  1. This looks great! I love to see good winter whitewash mods. I would love to get every winter vehicle in the game looking as good as this one and the KV-85 and Stugs you recently completed. I would play more often in winter if all the vehicles looked this good.

    There have been some very good whitewash mods in the past but the appearance of this in game is very authentic looking.

    Thanks!

  2. Personally, I'd rather have a Tiger than a Panther. The heavier 88 rounds seem less susceptible to ricocheting off the Sherman than the higher velocity 75's.

    Ah hell! My cat's get knocked out all the time by Easy 8's.

    I'd have to give the Sherman Easy Eight the coolest looking tank in the war award though. A Sherman on steroids.

    My system:

    Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2

    AMD Athlon XP Thoroughbred Core 2800+ 2.25ghz running at 333mhz (NOT OVERCLOCKED)

    Chaintech GeForce Ti4600 128MB Video Card

    1.5GB RAM Kingston PC2700 333mhz

    Chaintech motherboard 7NJL1 Apogee 400mhz bus capable. BIOS set to 333.

    I left sound on and all graphics at Full.

    My times were:

    50, 49, 48, 50, 51 - Seconds that is.

    Thinking about an upgrade? Your times didn't appear poor really.

    I can upgrade to the 3200+ processor and invest in PC3200 RAM but I'm not sure what kind of a return I would get. The 3200+ has more memory on the processor and I would be operating at a better bus speed but the actual clock speed of the 3200+ is slightly less than my Thoroughbred 2800+ 2.2 vs 2.25.

    Maybe in a few more months when the prices make it possible to do this for $200 or less I will try it.

    This was a good test. Just an FYI on my system. I have all of the unnecessary services that load at boot-up turned off. The operating system from a services perspective is stripped down for maximum processor freedom. AKA - Black Viper website.

    I tried this test again to see if I could better my average.

    My scores were 50, 49, 46, 51, 48

    A little better than before. With the average time being 48.8 seconds. Not bad.

    Previously the average was 49.6.

    Who won? Anybody keeping track?

  5. Thanks for this mod. I usually play CMAK with QB's in late war Italy and I wanted a nice traditional gray stahlhelm instead of the desert tan one's that come with the game. I am going to start making some West Front scenarios of my own. This mod will make it look a little more West Front when I play.

    Thanks again.

  6. Here's a good example of what I'm talking about. 1250 point quick battle in CMAK. I take one jagdpanther, that's it. The only advantage I gave the tank destroyer was high experience, it turned out to be "Crack". I give the American's +50% armored and let the computer pick the forces. Most of their forces are regular or better.

    They end up with 10 destroyed tanks and tank destroyers and 150 infantry casualties. The jagdpanther was eventually knocked out by an anti-tank team with a bazooka. The game bestowed a major victory to the jagdpanther based upon the number of casualties inflicted vs taken.

    The number of rounds that bounced off the front of this thing was amazing.

    The terrain was dry and the sky was clear. Small hills and moderate foliage/trees. I simply found a hill that would give the tank destroyer a good overall view of anything approaching and let the carnage begin.

    Mind you, I'm not bragging about my playing ability because quite frankly, I'm not that good at CM. But this jagdpanther, if it remains mobile and undamaged, can open up a serious can of whoop ass on an opponent advancing in the open.

    Thanks for the replies, and all of the facts presented.
