Thanks umlaut!!

Great news! Looking forward to the release

Cool. Looking forward to it! Are there any winter mods in WOT and WT? That would indeed be cool for CMFB.

Great! Who doesn't love a good looking KT..

Interiors and doors aligning properly is something to play close attention to. Its enough that there are doors on the two walls in contact for inf to be able to cross/enter - they do not have to align, but its so much easier to understand what will work if the actually do.

Fantastic KT Pzpajamas.. u got talent. Thanks for sharing!!

Nice looking StuHs Aris

SPOILERS BELOW (my thoughts and a small AAR)! ----------------------- Just finished this one in h2h vs my regular opponent @Kuderian. Maybe he will drop by and offer his thoughts as well. I took on Carius and the panzers to try and recreate what they did back in the day. First off, map and briefing is just awesome, as I have come to expect from you George. It really sets the mood and gets me excited to play. I only had one problem with pathing on the bridge in central Malinava. I have had the same thing happen in other battles in CMRT. The tanks jerk around and dont want to drive straight over the bridge. A bit frustrating, specially when under fire(!). I think the battle played out well and was fairly balanced. The pre battle intel gave me a small but not trivial help in countering the enemies superior numbers - not used very often so a cool feature in this battle. I decided early on to go straight for the village as Carius did, but bring all Tigers in one go (alternating over-watch) to tackle the T34s in the village and then take up defensive positions to hold of the enemy reinforcements. I used the HT and dismounted its crew to get a look at the approaching reinforcements so I soon learned they where IS2s (rude awakening indeed, as I thought they would be more T34s). The Tigers performed great at spotting and I was able to kill a few T-34s in reveres key-hole positions as I advanced. I lost only one Tiger during my attack into Malinava, this was unfortunately Carius (Nice action by Kuderian as he coordinated three T-34s to strike at Carius and Kerscher simultaneously). Carius only got one T-34 to his name. The T-34s also managed to immobilize one Tiger before the last few pulled out of Malinava. Carius tank lost its gun and was abandoned having only killed one T34. The Tiger was soon drilled by several 85 mm shells. Carius and his crew moved off, and Carius was later wounded by shrapnel. I got him buddy aided at least but very far from his historical result. When the IS tanks closed on Malinava they had been split into two groups, approaching from the east and north. Some of my Tigers got trapped behind buildings and I had a hard time relocating under IS over-watch. I learned that the IS2 has pretty darn good accuracy over long ranges. It has a high velocity gun so maybe not so strange, my prejudice got a schooling. It was also pretty obvious that the one that has to move first usually is the one that is spotted first, and killed. Always trying to outnumber your opponent will carry the day and its great to setup behind some trees. The long range duels where roughly 50/50 between Tigers and IS2s. As the StuGs arrived I thought there would be an exit zone to move them off map, and think that might have been good as I thought that was what I was supposed to do according to the briefing. Instead I used them to anchor my left flank. The second group of IS2s moved in on them and payed dearly. My favorite shoot of the battle. Just as this IS2 moves down in a small depression a StuG scores a hit on the exposed weak top turret armor and takes it out. The kind of detail that makes CM king. The IS had a very hard time spotting my StuGs as they where positioned behind trees and high hedges. I was a bit surprised they performed so well head on with the IS2. And the StuGs really took a big chunk of the work. The Tigers scored 8 T-34s and 4 IS2s to the StuGs 2 T-34s and 6 IS2s. The T34s got one Tiger and the IS2s got the rest of the Soviet kills. And I lost all Tigers and three StuGs and as the battle ended, after Kuderian offered a ceasefire there was one IS2 left surrounded by 4 StuGs. So losses on both sides where appalling - the Soviets could take them as apposed to the Germans and a draw as end result felt fair. Thanks for a great scenario and I really look forward to the next masterpiece you turn out

Thanks for sharing!

Great WOKI.. I think you have handeld this in a good way and thanks for doing the mods. Arcade_Archibald, hope your OK with it as well. Creed to both of you for creating / adapting mods for others to enjoy.

Thanks Aris, I use your terrain mods for all CM titels and they are gorgeous. Cant wait to try this one out!

This is just awesome news. Thanks for uploading and thanks to EZ! Great looking mods!!

Thanks for sharing!

Cool.. staying tuned!

Good god man.. ur fast, and the quality is just amazing. Thanks for sharing Aris!!

Credit should always be given and in all fairness WOKI has given credit in different ways, not trying to make it as he is the original creator - maybe not perfect but go easy on the guy. Below can be read in one of the uploaded files at cmmods, and I have seen it in others as well. -- "Credits to original WOT & War Thunder artist and Thanks to BULLGOD pzIV mod !! Conversion by me" -- This below is from one of the readmes -- "Credits goes to original WOT artist Many thanks to original artist from WOT and War Thunder community Without you guys this will never happen ! Kudos to all of you !!" -- Nice work as one of the original creators Arcade_Archibald. Wish you played CM and was a modded here as well as you clearly are very talented. Thanks for you work!

Thanks umlaut and CMFDR! Very much appreciated!

Thanks for raising that in the tech forum umlaut.

Thanks Aris! Thanks Jace!

Blown away.. amazing stuff indeed!!

Cool, very much appreciated Aris. I use your terrain mods for all titels.

On page 71 in the manual the following is stated "Note: Air support cannot be directed to attack specific targets. Aircraft will roam the battlefield and attack targets of their choosing. " But in game you can call in aircraft as in BN and FI. Guess this is a relic left in from the RT manual.

Talking about interesting reads, Leaping Horseman books has another title ready with a pre publication offer. I just ordered a copy of Iron Cross Brigade myself. http://www.leapinghorseman.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=9780992274924&cat=5 Cant recommend Jason Mark enough..

Could the tagging system work for these Icons.. I guess not?

Again, superb umlaut, really adds to the immersion.
