Strontium Dog

Better late than never. Definitely heroic futuristic derivation (2000AD fan from 1970 something ) as opposed to ****-dog variation (although I quite like that too ). Glad to see my screensaver is getting some use. I should point out that this isn't actually a photograph, it's a 3D render of a model I built composited (using Lightwave) with a photo and a map I found on the net. The same model was also used to make my CMBO jagdpanther mod. Just thought I'd point that out as junk2drive seemed to be suggesting that not much work (!) went into this (I'll let him off though as if you can't tell the difference then I achieved what I set out to do ). Indignant smelly brown-stuff dog (woof!)

Thanks guys, I think I get the picture

Can someone shed some light on why tank hunters insist on lobbing all their useless molotov cocktails at enemy tanks before resorting to the much more deadly grenade bundle? This usually results in setting some grass on fire and having the tank crew gun your tank hunters down before they can actually lob the grenade bundle. Also how accurately modelled are these things. Did grenade bundles get used a lot and where they as deadly as they appear to be?

Hi guys Glad some of you like the splash. Gautrek, I must admit (without being too self-congratulatory ) that I quite like the buttons too! Junk2Drive - thanks for uploading some of my mods, I had wondered if any of them were on the cdv se disc (someone from battlefront.com asked about them sometime ago but I never heard whether they actually got used or not). I'll try and upload my mods again at some stage - I've only got a slow internet connection so it'll probably take a while. Cheers

Hi guys This is something I made a while back and have just got around to uploading at www.cmmods.com (where I notice all my other mods seem to have disappeared ) SDog

Nice one COG! Keep up the good work.

CMAK is looking great but with all that dust I can see that a goggle mod is going to be needed for those tank crews

Thanks guys - very informative answers. I must try and get out of the habit of thinking of the on-screen action as being truly representative of all the possible courses of action. Thanks again SDog

I'd never heard of one of these before CMBB and I've just got to wondering about this apparently deadly device. In a recent scenario my vet troops took out 3 IS-2s with grenade bundles and in most cases from some considerable distance. I can see how a bunch of grenades stuffed through an open hatch might cause a few problems for the occupants but I'm a little surprised at how easily a casually lobbed bundle can cause a total system malfunction. I'd have expected most attempts of this sort to end with the said bundle bouncing off the target and exploding harmlessly in a muddy puddle. Presumably a non-shaped explosive device of this sort would have little to no armour penetrating power (?) so did they work by blowing up fuel tanks or something? Where were the fuel tanks on most tanks - I assumed they'd have been pretty well protected but perhaps not? Were the fuses on the grenades synchronised? Did grenade bundles have some sort of sticky gunk applied to them to make them latch onto a vehicle? etc.... Any info appreciated Cheers SDog

Just guessing but if you fired one of these downwards from an open window you might expect to have more trouble with the backblast hitting the ceiling?

Camels and Peter O'Toole!

Hi I've just uploaded (www.cmmods.com) winterised versions of the conifers from my earlier tree mod. Go get em SDog

Ji VJ I'm working on it. So far I'm not happy with what I've done but I'll keep at it.

Glad you like it . You can make some nice looking woods by mixing up the 'woods' and 'tall pines'. I think I spend more time looking at the scenery than concentrating on the battle

Hi Nevermind I never (well almost never) use the top-down view so I couldn't be bothered to mod them. My humblest apologies SDog
