  1. Whups.. didn't read down further.. never mind! lol
  2. OK, this is a question for the big guys.. lol.. I was looking thru some different game sites, and found one for the above named game.. Being interested in this stuff I went looking, and it looks alot like T-72 BoF.. Right down to the same playable tanks, and everything else.. So I wanted to know.. is it the same game? Is it being published for you guys thru them? Or whats going on? I'll include the link, hopfully someone can shed some light.. http://www.iw.blackbeangames.com/index.html Thanks
  3. Nice video.. Saw alot of the trials in India stuff before, but some of the other stuff was nice to see.. Just a small thing for Ak-47, the black eagle is a different tank, not the t-90 (Its been refered to as a T-95 a couple times) I'll include some links for a couple pics I managed to find Top ones the black eagle, bottom one is the T-90 from the Indian trials
  4. Actually it is.. As the other track continues to move, it'll turn the tank towards the side missing the track.. I know we can get technical and say the tank should move more or less straight because the road wheels will roll free.. But that doesn't work good at anything above a very slow crawl. (Done it many times when I had to drive back to put the damn track back on. lol)
  5. HEy guys.. I figured if I put moons name on this one, he'd be sure to look! hehe I've looked around and seen a few hints of the upcoming? patch and the next release (update? new release?) But what I was hoping to get is a time frame we are looking at for any of these.. You know.. by xmas 2005.. 1st quarter 2006.. sometime this decade! hehe I realize the devs are in russia and all.. but there must be some sort of time frame the translators have come up with! hehe. Thanks
  6. theres an option in the setup that allows for an always working laser range finder.. Other wise it doesn't work well during foggy or bad conditions. Turn the option on, and your ranger finder always works.
  7. I was a canadian armored crewman for twelve years. Mainly on the Leopard C1/2 (Leopard 1A3 and A4, so seeing the one in game brings back memories) I've also got a fair bit of time on LAV-25 (Coyote) and other wheeled light armored vehicles.
  8. Moon says they are working on a patch! There is going to be a new release that adds multiplayer (internet, as well as new missions and a new playable tank) you can play now over a lan, and if you read up on some of the other threads, they even explain how to get it to work over the net. If your having graphic problems, play with some of the advanced settings.. change the draw ranges stuff like that. Personally, I left it with the default settings and have a great frame rate. hehe
  9. Piracy... Ya.. I noticed the game hit the servers the other day. But on a semi-good note.. the no-cd cracks are out too! hehe CAuse I hate having to track down cds everytime I want to play something
  10. The way I look at it, is your not the overall commander of the battle.. Your simply one guy commanding a tank. So you wouldn't have complete control over everything on the field. Just be able to tell them to go over here and blow stuff up. Besides, its more realistic that way.
  11. Ok.. got a wierd one.. WHen playing some of the missions I've edited I get a crash to desktop when I'm viewing stats at the end of the mission. Doesn't always happen, and doesn't always happen on the same vehicle. But it is annoying.. This is the error that comes up on the last_bug 0000: Error: Unknown error not very helpfull.. lol ANyone else had this, or know how to make it not happen? thanks
  12. I've been playing around with the editor.. its pretty cool.. But I was wondering if theres a maximum vehicle count allowed in each mission.. Granted some of this will depend on the power of your machine.But I wanted to know if theres an actual limit progamed. Right now I'm upto 25 vehicles total (2 friendly rest bad guys) using Moons desert map, and I have yet to have any slow down or lag.. And I have yet to survive the mission without major damage..lol.. Something about having a half dozen Leopards, and then T-72s come over the hill top.. Also.. I might of missed it in the manual, but is there a way to make a true night time enviroment.. I've played with the enviroment controls in the editor, and the best I've gotten so far is a dusk/dawn? type setting, but it still bright enough to use normal day sights.. thanks
  13. ok.. I'm playing with the editor.. follow the little doc thing, and it worked out ok.. so now I'm playing with the desert map.. I want to creat a huge old attack against little `ol me.. only problem.. how do I change the players tank.. Don't know if I missed it in the doc or what.. but anyoen know how you set which tank is players tank? lol. thanks
  14. I never got a shipping confirmation.. all I got was the order confirmation.. I seem to remember one of the Battlefront people saying that not always is there a shipping confirmation put out, but you can email and ask about it.. I think it was like shipping@battlefront.com or sales@battlefront.com.. Just surf thru some of the older posts..
  15. hey moon.. Love the work you've done.. its always fun playing a new level and blowing stuff up... But I do have a request.. I've tried playing with the editors, and have had nothing but bad luck.. Is there any chance you could write up a walk thru on how to edit a level.. Basiclly break it right down so that someone who can just find the power button can edit a level! lol.. Granted this might be alot to ask for the entire thing, but even just a walk thru for editing vehicles and stuff on a level, and not so much the map it self.. Good starting point! hehe.. thanks
  16. I noticed the same things.. I had some options set that suddenly got changed when I started playing the new scenarios.. I just figured I did something wrong.. havn't tried to change them back yet..
  17. Ricochets happen alot I find.. if you have the barrel option on (I forget the actuall name) I find it tends to "miss" about 1 in 4 or 5 shots.. and they do cause damage.. My T-72 was brewed up by a ricochet from a T-55... I was rather pissed actually.. lol Looked at the stats screen and the only hit was a ricochet.. lol
  18. I don't have any pics of it.. The most i can remember fighting was.. lets see.. 2 Leos, 2 T-72s, 2 AT lauchers, 1 t-55.. I think thats the most I've had to fight.. You also had.. I think it was 2 friendly t-72s.. This was the rescue mission one..
  19. Some good suggestions here.. so I figured I'd put a couple up as well.. 1> I'd like an instant action selection.. Pick map, pick conditions, pick enemy numbers.. go fight. 2> Better damage modeling, both with what you see, and the internal damage.. Alot of it seems like its random, and not based on actual equipment location ( I killed the engine of a Leopard by shooting the barrel.. Not sure how that happened) 3> More vehicles.. Friendly and enemy.. Wheres the Yugoslavian stuff.. BOVs, BMPs, BTRs, or for that matter, any of the stuff.. M113s, Hummers, etc etc 4> Better voice acting!!!!!! Everytime I hear them grunts around me I gun them down just to shut them up 5> Barrel wear on the CO-AX and AAMGs.. Firing 600 rounds non-stop would burn the barrels out and be throwing tracers all over the place. 6> This is just nit picking.. lol.. When you hit a veh and kill one of the crew.. they get ejected out of the veh.. Regardless if its still moving, or operational.... Thats not normal.. lol Ok.. I think thats the end of my wish list for now... I'll go blow some more tanks up and see what else I can dream up.
  20. I never did.. I just put my guys on scan and went hunting.. moved thru that one pretty quickly..
  21. hey.. Ok.. tank books... Honestly.. theres not a hell of alot of them out there.. The best would prolly be "Team Yankee" by Harold Coyle.. Its a very well written book covering WWIII from the armor perspective.. He also writes a series of books that covered an Armored Officers career (both fiction mind you) but they are both well written. Another author is Scott Taylor.. I can't remember the name of the book, but it follows a WWIII type thing from the russian side.. Well written.. Theres also some good non-fiction that follow the second gulf war, one of them is from a british reporter who was embeded with an american tank unit.. Its very well done. You can also find some stuff on the Israelie wars as well.. read a couple, no idea what they where called. Hope this helps
  22. Hey.. Ok. some tank novels.. Theres not alot of new stuff, But try "Harold Coyle" he wrote Team Yankee which is by far one of the best tank novels out.. He also wrotes a series of books that follow the career of a Armored Officer.. It doesn't get down and dirty, but it is well written. Another book is by author Scott Taylor... For the life of me I can't remember the name of it, but it follows a war from the russian perspective. Those are the only two modern ones I can really think of, they are both fiction.. I have read a few non-fiction written about the Israelie wars that arn't too bad. Oh.. there are a couple good non-fiction that follow the second gulf war from the tank side.. Ones by a british news reporter, who was imbeded with one of the tank units.. I'll see if I can find that one.. was a pretty good read
  23. hey.. Yes collision damage is on.. I don't think the game noticed that rolling is a collision though.. lol The loading times I've noticed are with my crew being "Vet" And.. uhm.. double-digit ammos.. lol. They do realize that the ammo us supposedly on the back of these poor guys? lol. Thanks for the quick response.. How long till the add-on? lol shane
  24. Hey all.. ok got my game on tuesday.. After a couple days of almost nonstop killing its actually turned out to be a pretty damn good game. I've had none of the framerate issues, or other problems others have had, and infact play the game with everything maxxed! Nice graphics! Good game.. One of the very few games I've seen in a long ass time that won't require 37 patchs to actually enjoy. Having said all that, I've got some things I've noticed.. hehe 1> Damage models.. Not too sure how this was all figured out, some of it seems to work good, some of its just plain odd. My biggest complaint with it so far is that, on more than one occasion I've engaged a tank (I've done this with a T-55, and Leopard) and hit it 9 times. I've seen some of the crew bail out.. Only to have the tank fire one round, and kill me. You have no idea how pissed off that makes a guy. lol.. So I go look at the stats screen, I thought maybe I didn't penitrate or something.. But no.. All the rounds had penitrated. On the knocked out list, all 4 positions are listed.. Knocked out equipment has damn near everything listed.. Yet the tank was able to fire.. but what bugs me the most.. I hit it 9 times.. He hits me once.. and I brewed up.. Pain in the ass! 2> Why don't turrets go flying thru the air when you brew up a tank. Little dissapointed that this major factor wasn't included.. And besides, theres just something cool about watching a 5 ton turret go flying. 3> This ones just something I noticed.. When you roll anything over, things tend to get bent, twisted, or ripped off.. I accidently rolled my T-72 down the side of a large hill... I actually had 4 complete roll overs, before landing on my track.. And low and behold.. No damage.. The crew was fine, and all my equipment was AOK.. 4> Oh, when you cross a water obs and you watch thru the drivers view, you can still see rain falling thru the river.. hehe 5> Loading.. Never having used an auto loader, I'm assuming that all tanks with one would load at the same speed.. I've noticed more than once that Enemy T-72s load 1-2 seconds faster than mine. Annoying when you both fire at the same time, yet they get the 2nd round out alot faster. 6> Computer Cheats!!!!!! I know I know.. But give things a try.. Setup an ambush, kill one target, then watch and see other enemys come over hills or around stuff firing on you automaticlly. Oh and those RPG gunners.. I remember reading somewhere that they have "limited" ammunition.. I counted one gunner firing 8 times before he was killed.. 5-6 seconds a shot.. Would hate to be that PBI humping that much ammo around.. 7> Ranges.. I've tried firing using the manual ranges and stuff, and most times its completly out to lunch. Things that are only 1000m away, require ranges of 1500 or higher according to the gunnery sights.. 8> On the 2nd or 3rd mission, atleast one of the way points is still in russian!!! Over all though, awesome game. Can't wait for the followup!
  25. hey all.. I know its been up here before, but for anyone whos bored and wants to play the russian demo till BF get around to kicking out the english demo, I found a website that has the russian one, with english translationed manual, install directions and stuff like that. http://airwarfare.com/tankwarfare/t72/ Enjoy
