  1. Hello gentlemen,

    Like many other guys there and around, I mostly play Quick Battles with my opponents (PBEM...). After many battles, an idea comes to me. I don't know if someone talk about this thing before here but let's go smile.gif

    I know this option will not be available in CMBB, BFC said that 1.03 patch was the last update (Dooh ! :mad: ) but... Why not setting reinforcements in QB ?

    Imagine the settings pannels : It would be interesting to add a value of points to allow for reinforcements and indicate a turn (or a period of the battle : first quarter, middle...) when these extra-units would appear. Of course, all these settings could be random : AI would select in your purchase list which units to keep behind (word ?). It could take 10, 20, 30% of your order of battle, or a random percentage. Or computer could select the turn of entry (like now in scenarios) and the border area of the map where reinforcements would come in ?

    Maybe in CMAK... :rolleyes:

    ...or in CMX2... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Best regards !

  2. Well well well... russian tanks (not captured one) with german colours... I wonder what would political commissars say to tank crews painting their vehicle like this :rolleyes::D

    All your textures are very, VERY, nice to see... ...on a Panther Maybe tongue.gif

    Anyway, I don't remember the book where I've seen it but some russian T34 were camouflaged in a tri-color camo scheme. It was some large vertical stripes, a bit like a JagdPanther scheme.

    Bye

    LOL :D You're welcome smile.gif

    I would agree with Sgt Kelly about concealment in steppe terrain for immobile units. As long as they don't move, soldiers are still hidden in their starting positions. Here too, I didn't test anything redface.gif Maybe someone could create a test scenario ?

    Also, is there no concealment when units don't have foxholes or trenches at the beginning of the battle ? Are soldiers hidden even if they are gently waiting for orders, without any concealment ? Or steppe terrain provides automatically a good cover ? :confused:

    In that situation, the player could consider steppe terrain like tree terrain ! I mean, I usually set my infantry in wood, tree or forrest (I don't talk about buildings) at the beginning of a scenario. Then, is steppe providing the same concealment "value" ? The only difference would be : steppe terrain is good for cover only for immobile units which stay hidden since turn #1...

    Is there any "concealment" values / statistics from BFC for the different terrain tiles ? We could the compare...

    All the best.

    Here my result of "steppe" with Google :

    Thats what i did with this mod i downloaded tracers mod. ;)

    Thank you Gautrek smile.gif

    Best regards.

  6. Hello all !

    I'm actually making a winter mod for the Marder III and Wespe model. As you surelly know, these vehicles share the same BMP files. I've done these textures but, on the Marder III, the main gun has a different texture than the rest of the AFV. On the other hand, the Wespe is good : gun and vehicle are identical. Does the Marder III use the Pak 75mm gun texture ? Or did I forgot a BMP file ? My files come from Kingfisher's "Modder's series".

    Any help :confused:

    Best regards and good 4th July smile.gif

    Hi Marcus,

    You're right, it looks too bright...

    Here is my version #2 :

    No, it's a RUSSIAN vehicle ! In 1943, some captured german light AFVs were converted into "adhoc" infiltration-combat-vehicle with suicide crew... These false panzer were thrown into german lines during night and open fire at day to vehicle rear of it :D

    Cheers !

    What a wonderfull texture :eek: :eek: !!!

    If this is a german captured T34, please remember to add a LOT of german cross... ...if you don't wanna see your PAK firing at you :D:D

    IIRC, historically, the Balkenkreuz, on captured vehicles, were very visibles and put on many surfaces : turret, rear, sometime front armor. I remember some photos in "Panzer color" of a SU85 and a Firefly captured : markings everywhere !!

    All the best.

  10. Thank you for your posts smile.gif

    I have redone my winter Marder II : the killrings and the balkenkreuz are less visibles, more "snowed"... I also put some mud on the roadwheels and the bottom hull.

    This will be avalaible at cmmods.com ASAP, but I lose my preview :mad: I'll keep you informed.

    For Lcm1947 : what do you suggest to make units more visible ? I'm thinking about aerial recognition flags but you may have another idea ?

    Now, I'm going to read the Gautrek's tutorial ;)

    All the best.

  11. Hello gentlemen,

    I have finally done a winter version of my early Tiger I. If somebody could tell me how to realize snow settled on the surfaces, aerial recognition flag and outlined numbers redface.gif Markings and killrings are optionals.

    PREVIEW_EARLY_TIGER.JPG

    Here are summer and winter version of the early Marder II (grey version). The preview of the winter version doesn't show properlly the tools on the vertical surfaces... :( This has been fixed, don't worry if you download it ;)

    Bicolor version :

    PREVIEW_BICOLOR_MARDERII.JPG

    Winter version :

    PREVIEW_WINTER_MARDERII.JPG

    Where to download ? Oh, come on, at the usual place :D

    All the best

    does anybody use any of these?

    Zimorodok

    Yes, yes, yes smile.gif

    Quite a wonderfull job ! During the time you made all that stuff : Panzer IV, Tigers, Ferdinand, PSW, SPW...... ...I slowly put a whitewash to my Tiger ! :eek: I'm a green modder, when you're a crack !

    Any project about a snowy Panther G ? tongue.gif

    Best regards and please continue ! ;)

  13. Hi !

    I wasn't there for the entire week-end so thank you to all for the posts smile.gif Reading this is a nice moment !

    Originally posted by Zimorodok:

    Yes ! Why not, but this is an early Tiger. Is the marking historically correct for winter 42-43 ? :confused: Anyway, I will test it !

    Originally posted by Warmaker:

    A little bit of snow settled on horizontal surfaces would add a bit to it.

    It would be nice but I'm a green modder, how can I do this nicely ?

    Originally posted by Rob Murray:

    It looks very good. May I suggest that if you put tactical numbers on it; use 101 or 808? Something along those lines so that they look correct on both sides of the vehicle. I'm thinking about CM's mirror effect.

    I was seriously thinking about it :D

    Originally posted by tooz:

    Aerial recognition flags (as an option) are always welcome, IMO.

    It would be great : a svastika flag with oil spots and snow... ...but maybe a bit hard to realize for me redface.gif

    Ok then, some work to do now !!

    All the best.

    Sure it's not very careful to say that kind of %@#%£ ( :( ) about France or any, ANY nations involved in a war...

    Which army/nation never lose or retreat ??

    Anyway, I have also experienced KVI which retreat when approching StuG III by the rear :mad: It seems that this kind of assault gun have very bad and dangerous reputation in the Red Army :D

    All the best.
