A Canadian Cat Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Sometimes Firing First is Not Enough In a recent game (that is still going as of this uploading) two of my Shermans were in a fire fight with a Panther and a PzIV. This is a small fire fight on one flank of a much larger battle. At the end of the turn I noticed that the PzIV was smoking too. Try as I might I could not figure out who took it out. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure it out - checking tanks that were on the other side of the map in case one of them had a line of sight I did not expect. It was easy to tell that the other Sherman was not responsible - it fired only one round and that round bounced off the front armor of the Panther. The KO'ed Sherman took two hits one from the PzIV and then another from the Panther. Then I looked at the AP amo counts and discovered that just as the KO'ed Sherman was hit it fired a round. Watching where the barrel was aimed and following the shell I discovered that it was responsible for taking out the PzIV. Judging by the timing, I think instead of passing each other in the air the rounds passed by each other one in the air and the other in the Sherman's gun barrel. The PzIV fires, destroys the Sherman, then gets destroyed itself. The video shows the same time slice 1:10:37 to 1:10:24 in the game twice once looking at the PzIV and one looking at the Sherman. Since you cannot see the Shermam's muzzle flash I also tacked on 6s showing the Sherman's AP amo count going down at the end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VD1okO8Qn14#t=0m39s PS. The Panther and the other Sherman broke contact and are still hunting each other 10 minutes later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've been working on some more maps lately as I've recently got right back into CM. However I also got Shogun 2 TW on sale and was mightily unimpressed by the visuals, which made me delve into my screenshots folder. One of the great things about CM for me is the ability to create realistic landscapes. I actually took this screen a while ago but quite like it. Many of the pixeltruppen pictured did not make it home, an MG42 and a Puma took their toll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tashtego Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Here are some examples of the great modding work done by Stoppel and the Marsh Pattern Camo, Veins German Uniforms, Waffen 12th by Wyseman76, and lastly Axis Oak Pea Camo by Nik Mond. Thanks for the great work. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 nice. whos US uniforms are you using? hey I was watching the show Triggers ( not bad btw ) and he fired a bazooka. there was a small screen on the front of it, to protect the firer from sparks, etc from the rocket. I'd never seen the screen mounted on the front in pictures or in the game however. how often was it used in combat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I can't seem to get that drab look for the German camo no matter how I fiddle with my nVidia controls. what parameters are you using? Or is this photoshopped? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Even a blind bat should be able to tell that for you, but since none hang around here allow me: of course it is (heavily) filtered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 definitely been photoshopped heavily. looks awesome though. especially the view of the tank and men from of above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm Heidkamp Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The images are filtered, BUT not heavily photoshoped. For example: - Filtered (contrast, light, etc): - Original (not edited at all): My settings are ingame: all maxed. I don't use Nvidia CP for this game (profile). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George MC Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Had uploaded a short tank battle video for your viewing pleasure but for some reason the sound quality on the uploaded video is piss poor. Will sort it out when back from work. Bit of a damp squib this one... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George MC Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Uploaded that video showing a tank battle made up of shots taken from 'Fire Brigade'. Enjoy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poesel Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Nice to watch but the sound is hurting my ears! Looks like you are playing with the first faulty Mac patch as you have the FPS number in the lower right corner of the screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
