So what about the Greyhound?
I rellay like your conversions. Makes BO so much better... -
Well, different matter here. My ex-girlfriend actually beat me a couple of times in CM - though it was her absolute disregard of common sense and tactics...
Good I never came around to explain to her how to use tanks properly - would have been a disaster! *g*My hopefully soon-to-be wife plays games, too. But so far she only enjoys RPG´s. And she´s more afraid of loosing me to a tank than to another woman! :eek: But that´s out of the question, I´m afraid...
Not enough Panthers left and not enough money to buy and restore one, anyway. -
Should have thought of that... I own it, too. *slap* But I think it´s the only book to mention that name. Or do you have another one, Gurra? Camouflage discussion is a favorite hobby of mine, especially regarding the Panther.
Zweihorn, there are many names for that special pattern. "Hinterhaltschema", "Hinterhalt-Tarnung", "Hinterhalt-Tarnschema" etc. Every single one meaning the same. Actually, I think most people don´t really know what the REAL name was. But "Licht und Schatten" might be it...
-
Well, never came across that... and I AM German. But it sounds reasonable. Would fit in with the description and the effect they wanted to achieve. But I´ve never heard of it and none of my sources speak of that term.
Gurra, would you care to explain from where you have that information? Thanks...
-
As far as I know it was called "Hinterhaltschema" - actually a direct transaltion.
Anyway, hard data is difficult to come by and it might very well be called differently. I´ll check my meager sources again... -
Well, what´s still out there looking bad? I I recall correctly, the halftracks could need a facelift, too...
So how about it? -
Well, you´re making me a happy man, you know?
Slowly this game is looking like something... -
Well, I´d say EVERY vehicle you reskin benefits from it. Even the original StuG´s weren´t quite as good on second look...
If I only could draw as you do. Are you for hire acrually? And if yes, what would it cost me to hire you for technical drawings?
-
Will you mod again, too? Right now there are too few people modding out there... *g*
-
Well, I don´t know about British camouflage, only about German (and there´s at least as much controversy) but I know a good site that might help you a little bit: www.armouredacorn.com - seems to be very well researched and definitely worth a look for researchers, modellers and modders alike.
-
MikeyD, I LOVE YOU!!! Hope you aren´t married yet, because I´m definitely thinking about proposing...
-
Okay, I will do. Excatly what are you interested in? Maybe I can just open a new thread and post the findings with a few pictures...
-
I´ve done extensive research on the Panther and you just wouldn´t believe how many minor details differentiate one tank from another - it even seems probable the different factories used different armor thickness. Though this is yet to be confirmed...
Also you mustn´t forget upgrading/retrofitting. An early model A could as well have been an upgraded model D. But even the ´late´ model D (if you prefer to call it that way optically is not substantially different from the ´early´ model D - just minor details like rain covers over the optics and hatches, deleted smoke launchers etc.
If anyone is interested I can point to a few VERY good books on that matter or maybe post a conclusive report of my findings...
-
Come on, with the right mods it´s not looking THAT bad - I´m still playing it! The prospect of using KT´s against the Allied forces is a very good motivation...
But I´d be interested in such a contest, if it was to take place some day.
-
That´s an interesting topic... as far as I know, the 3d models are the same, so simple renumbering should do the job.
Actually I think there is no 'historical Panther D early' apart from the version that was designated Panther D1 - and it just doesn´t seem likely BFC is referring to that version. Historically speaking, a late model D and early A should be the same - though there might have been a few D´s upgraded with A parts. I can´t confirm that with photographic footage, but only drawings so far. Maybe in time I´ll stumble over a few photographs.
As it is, I just can point to a few very excellent books I value very much and regard them as very accurate...
Does that answer your question?
-
Well, well, well, not bad! haven´t got that much time left playing CM ´cause my girlfriend actually started playing tabletop wargames!
Can´t really interest her in PC games though... -
Right, it´s not there. I thought it was andrewtf, but I might be mistaken. I just use the green helmets because the camo netting texture looks a little bit weird when stretched over the polygons... *g*
-
It seems as if the older the game gets, the more bugs are encountered... I stumbled upon a few bugs as well that I could not explain. Maybe CMBB gets patched again when CMC is out...
-
There´s no BMP missing... I had this problem once, though I van´t recall it tright now how I solved it. Fact is that the gunshield back should look the same as the front.
Should I come across the same problems and solve it again, I´ll let you know...
Amazing work so far! Give us more...
-
Tried the first scenario vs. the AI, extreme FOW, standard setup, no bonusses.
I won - but only because sometimes the AI is as stupid as artificial. Against a capable human opponent, the German player would stand no chance whatsoever - the difference in quality equipment is just too big. And in the test game, my crews needed about half a dozen shots to hit once...
Anyway, a great scenario! Can´t wait to play the rest of them!
-
Take andrewtf´s uniform mod from CMMODS - one of the paratrooper packs has the camo netting for helmets in it...
-
Well, my little brother is experiencing the same thing right now - though my nice is just ten days old... it´s an odd feeling being an uncle at so young an age...
-
I will definitely comment on the scenarios and my experience with the campaign. Though I won´t be able to test the special mod pcks thoroughly as I don´t have enough HDD space available at the moment. But I´ll try that, too...
-
I guess we´re all pretty eager to get our hands on this one - personally I can´t wait to try out the battlepak with a friend of mine...

Not enough Panthers left and not enough money to buy and restore one, anyway.
Andrew TF mods anyone?

You should definitely check out CMMODS again - it´s up and running again (even after a second crash) and you will find the mods you´re looking for. Another site that hosted mods as long as CMMODS was down is Zimorodok´s site (www.zimorodok.org, I think).
Apart from that, there´s not much left, if at all. Should I find somehting new, I´ll gladly post it here.
Hope I could be of assistance.
