You know what sucks, I can't be gunner on a Tiger 2...

Ok Jeff I have a question; Whats your take on modern armor and the effect teflon coatings have on KE rounds?

Hey Jeff that LOSt rule of thumb is nice, easy to remember. Nice post BTW. I may just borrow a few lines for another fourm someday.

So Basically it all depends on how the gunner is holding his mouth?

Alright Matt, thanks.

MM, Will there be any new documentation to go with this patch other then the fixes and additions? Like updating the PDF manual etc?

The game should be using trig to figure out the increase or decrease in armor thickness in relation to trajectory of shell and target. If the slope of any given target is at 90 degrees the thickness of the armor will be nominal. If however you decrease the slope away from the incoming round the amour rating increases. Lets say target hull is on a 30 degree slope from the horizontal with the front end facing up. The targets turret would then be advanced to 60 degrees from the vertical giving the armor a great increase in thickness if the round fired is approaching the front end. 90mm of turret armor at 90 degrees would double to 180mm at 60 degrees from the vertical. I’m going to make an assumption that the game is using trigonometry to make these calculations or at least geometry. I could be wrong. Obviously there is a lot of stuff going on here.

doWnSizer Junior Member What call sign do you go by at the CM fourms??? There are a lot of dudes who wish to remain unknown here while at the same time they are posting only when things look good. You know I've been a half baked some times laughed at member of this fourm since the games' launch and I never dissed it or other members. In my opinion you should get the **** outa here cause we will waste you in game dude...for real.

Passed.

A final further minute…

Finally after quite some time…

Another minute passed.

Then without warning...

Then another...

A minute passed...

It’s obvious that there will be more developer modifications to TOW after this patch turning point. Keeping the forum active with positive feedback and constructive criticism will help people like Sneaksy fine tune the game over the course of the next year or so. Eventually all the bells and whistles that make sense and can be accomplished will make it to the front line.

"It looks like we are going to TRY and release the patch WITH the Battle Generator and hope to have it ready NEXT week" Shift keeps his fingers crossed.

Things are looking good for TOW. I can't wait for the uber-patch, map editor and this sweet little tool. Life for TOW should be good for 2008. Now all we need is press coverage.

Sneaksie, I’m trying to reinstall my game but to no avail. I originally purchased both the DVD and download versions when the game was first released. After a few months of play I uninstalled and unlicensed the game. It seems that the code that is on the back of the case isn’t being recognized by the appropriate servers. This is the error warning I’m getting. “Unable to get or install a license Retrieval of license failed with error code = 501” Very frustrating, need help.

Matt I'd love to see anything that 1C is working on for the RBG.

ToW is a game where you have to be inventive. Preview Webring's sticky on the mission editor and go from there. Like the rest of us you'll have to wait for the upgrade.

I for one prefer to wait. On another forum for another game a poll was set up to see if players wanted a quick release with half the goodies and bugs or would the rather wait till the summer for the complete package with most of the old and new bugs exterminated. The former won out but the makers of the game should have waited. I get weary of waiting too but if the patch is released and lives up to BF’s ISO level (not sure if Battlefront is a member of ISO or not) then we will all be happy. Believe it or not my friend and I dig the original game with the three tigers in multiplayer. Yes it’s sad but getting down to turret level and sneaking around the countryside without any intel is cool and death comes swiftly. Of course we are sitting at the same table and having a few drinks/puffs but hey….it’s all good.

MM I need to know if I have to load in the DVD patch. Anyways looking forward to the revisions that the gents @ 1C have come up with. BTW I'm a hardcore playa of SBProPE. I dream of ToW art work coupled with SB math Salute dogs.

A quick question for Madmatt, I completely uninstalled my copy of ToW and unlicensed the game as well. Before the release of the 1.3 patch and add-on owners of the DVD were required to patch the game to the same standard as the original downloaded version. My question is will this new patch and subsequent updates install over the basic DVD or will I also need to use the same post-download patch?

1.2gb!! I don't think this is going to be available as a download; more likley it will be on a DVD. Or at least it should be.
