It is @Aquila-SmartWargames that we must thank he made a lot of things available to us.
I just added impacts and traces of smoke !
my only regret is that he did not succeed in integrating the waco glider to create perfect dropzones for Normandie and Hollande

The Germans are not careful and abandon their equipment everywhere!

Well since the Luftwaffe put up such a poor show I’d say the privies probably had the edge, not sure how may brown bombers there were though ... perhaps M.Falaise could enlighten us with his local knowledge.
The role of the Luftwaffe in Normandy comes down to the night.
However in August 44 a certain number of hunter reserved for the defense of the German skies are sent to Normandy, first for Luttich then to protect the retreat
I remember a German veteran who explained me to me that on August 16 he heard the sound of an airplane engines, instinctively the whole unit threw itself into the ditch then to his great astonishment he saw fighters black cross, the firsts he saw in Normandy and that he had been fighting since June !!!
Many of this plane fell victim to the Flack which shot at everything in the air !! -

Does anyone have the Commonwealth helmets foliage mod referred to a few posts back please? I cant seem to find one anywhere.
cheers
Alas for the flavor objects to appear in a scenario you must have it installed on your game and bearing the same name and number otherwise another flavor object will appear instead see none.

Thank you, @Aragorn2002, this is a very interesting press article!1 hour ago, Macisle said:
I think the late variant Shermans still had the edge, but much less of one than vs. the T-34/76. Having a two-man turret eliminates the earlier T-34s from being considered in the running IMO.
Over the years I've gone from thinking the Germans had the best tanks, to the T-34, to the realization that the much-maligned Sherman was the best tank by a pretty wide margin. By "best" I mean operationally and strategically. Ease of production, reliability, parts standardization and supply, ease of transport (could and did go anywhere by whatever), adaptability and ability to upgrade, crew situational awareness and comm equipment, ergonomics and crew fatigue, ease of bail-out and ability to survive (astonishingly low fatality rates compared to the other tanks of the war across the board), etc. The T-34 K/D ratios were appallingly bad and, unlike the Sherman where on average four guys survived to apply lessons learned, you had just one for the T-34.
The Sherman was truly a war-winning tank in every sense of the term. Sure, it might be in trouble in certain tactical situations vs. certain opponents, but those don't outweigh its strengths and performance in macro.
I had the same intellectual approach as you!
Even without taking into account the logistics aspect, reliability etc. I am always amazed by the good behavior of a 76 sherman facing the big German cats on CM
After the war France hesitated to resume the production of the Panther or its clone and it did not do so and besides no nation does it.
The Stug and other Pz iv continued their career but not the Panther.
The latest version of the Sherman of Tsahal with 105mm French have continued to prove their reliability until 73
In short it is in my opinion him the Sherman the best tank of the second world war -

Those are very cool pics
What flavour object does the ME wreck replace?
I guess we could use mod tags for the months, shame the game can’t do it automagically for us, would make life much easier... though it would mean a lot more textures to create, as there are in CMFI.
I haven't replaced anything! I added using the @umlaut guide
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0g35it41bg7sskz/Adding+Extra+Flavor+Objects.doc/file
We can possibly tag them per month, then just go to the scenario editor and retag all the scenarios according to the month it happens
I am part of the players who like to replay scenarios several times and I sometimes change the mod to have a different atmosphere, so i change manually when i wanrt a new atmosphere! -

Great work @Falaise You’ve been busy!
I really like the drier look of this, high summer, less viridian, emerald, grass and sap, more olive, drab and ochre. Le Lin looks fabulous. We like. Especially like your GI through the breach in the bocage.
Bravo!
Are you going to release this one?
Yes only you gave so many possibilities that i didn't
still over, even if the month of August is well advanced.
the idea is to use your mods as much as possible
like for example (don't look for @Vacilllator there is no smoke and no plot) i use all flax mods
the same place in june
july
august
@IanLthe shadow play is nice on the 1st image, assault with 2 Sturmgewehr, it will bleed !!!

Here is a series of images with my August Normandy setting showing a good part of the Lucky strike mod. This option avoids the use of Shader that I do not like and also aims to have a homogeneous display even if you leave the level vision of the ground and that you gain height by avoiding the "plated" effect of the textures at mid height.
Our war correspondent, friend of Ernest Hemingway follows an American attack in August 1944,he uses a personal film in Kodak Color normally prohibited on the Western Front !!!
A Sherman progresses in a road...
A classic portrait of a US infantryman awaiting engagement.
The Shermans are making progress !! the photographer is hiding in a cereal field overgrown with cornflower flower
By a breach in the hedges, he photographs an infantryman in the middle of the race.
A sherman stopped at one end of a field of flax "rotting , ruissant in french". This culture is quite specific to Normandy
Events are accelerating !! A combat group positions itself before the assault.
The photographer decided to follow the attack as closely as possible
A shooting breaks out at close range; a German grenade is visible in the back of the infantryman who fires! Luckily there is only one minor injury.
While our reporter came to his senses, the attack progressed, the road is crossed
The battle calms down, a Sherman approaches, the tank commander no longer fears snipers.
The last image! next to a typical Norman house and a barrier eaten away by lichens, a pierced Panther next to which lies one of the crew members.

If that's some Tanks a Lot mods you use and that I advise you, you won't have a problem, take the @umlautbuildings and @Lucky Strike countryside and it will really look like Normandy, and all without disrupting game play

I sent it to you by email @StieliAlpha

It wouldn't have any choice given its military presence in Berlin. Although I've not gone through the detail, I would wager that the French had more troops in Germany during the Cold War than the Netherlands and Canada did individually and possibly more than the Belgians too, although I can't recall what proportion of 1 (BE) Corps was forward-deployed. I reiterate my point about them being worthy module candidates and for the modding sandboxers out there, French forces offer all sorts of Middle East and Africa possibilities than say the Finns, the Swedes, Austria or the most neutral country in the World for a number of decades ... the Swiss ... that have all been mentioned as 'great' module candidates.
France had around 50,000 men in Germany and 600 AMX 30 tanks in the 1980s.
In the same way we learned during the obligatory military service that one attack on the german territory entailed an intervention on our part automatically, idem in the event of nuclear strike. The French nuclear fire being able to be launched by the Germans in the event that Paris would have been annihilated.
Currently there are only 500 French soldiers in Germany and there must be as many German soldiers stationed in France !
We must keep the traditions

As CMRT! more "Normandie"

There is the stock one of CMFB
This one will soon be black !!!

yes and no... there are already several tree heights
in addition to mods or game possibilities, an important factor in the beauty of a map is the designer
luckily there is a real artist in this field -

Very beautiful images @jamxo as usual, the framing is really good.
It is true that of @Lucky Strikemod has transformed the game.
My great pleasure and to slip into the hedges, to advance at ground level.
Now I even take pictures without characters as I could do while walking in the countrysideon the other hand no shader for me, here (in Normandy) in May June the countryside has the dazzling green of the original game.
this is what makes the region famous !but to each his own taste and @Lucky Strike's mod allows you to modulate
in the wishes at battlefront, it would be nice if we could have small birds
