Karabekian Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Fianlly got CMWealth downloaded, seems good so far. I tried the King Tiger today in a QB. But wait. Is it only me or does it seriously lack in detail? I have no hangers for the towing cables, entirely clean sides, tracks look like unmodded CMx1, stange looking exhausts and mantlet. Was it released unfinished or is there something else going on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, in light of all the models, the King Tiger is just downright ugly and/or unfinished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokko Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Noticed that too, also, when you put any old German tank next to it you notice the KT is lacking some sort of texture map which gives it some sheen, which all other tanks ingame have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karabekian Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 http://www.flickr.com/photos/77677451@N02/ I do not know how to use IMG. I particularly like the track one.. Not much improvement from CM:BO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crender Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Wow that is not so good. Looks to be well below the standard set in the base game. I wonder if BFC commissioned someone outside the company to do this model? Can't really think of any other logical explanation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 What? No piss bucket on the back? I want a refund !! Seriously, it does look a little bland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabekian Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Seriously, it does look a little bland Well, theres a modest person! A tank lacking tracks (but has brown carpets instead) is a little more then bland to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crender Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Considering the fuss that was made about the KT being in, its disappointing that it turned out to be such a poor model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karabekian Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Unfortunately, Aris has not released new models for the game. This is not something a skin will fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoppelhopser Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Maybe it's been an early model for development purposes which somehow slippped final quality control? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hmmm this is a great pity it stands out a bit from the other hight quality models in the game and not in a good way. I know graphics are not everything but still.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The in game Porche KT does not appear to have the tread links mounted on the left side turret like those seen in the release candidate screens. When you compare the KT to the Jagpanther, well there is no comparrison. The in game KT may be an earlier low poly model. Must have slipped through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The links on the turret were wrong for the type and time period, as was pointed out here in the forums. They have only been removed by alpha layer, so you can easily add them back on if you wish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The links looked "solid" not like an alpha layer. That being said the KT should be a higher poly masterpiece for the attention the darned thing gets. Compare the road wheels of the Jagdpanther or Panther to the KT and you will see an obvious difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabekian Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 @dpabrams Like akd said, the tracks still exist, but are on the Alpha layer. No Tiger II in Normandy had the tracks, and only very few (Henschel) had them in France. They were only officially introduced (factory modification) in November 1944. They are entirely out of the timeline in CMBN. My problem is, that the KT had a reasonable big part in the screenshots, but it is definately not up to the other high quality models. Like many have pointed out - the Jagdpanther looks very very good. The model itself lacks some details, not repairable by a new skin. I am a huge fan of the KT and its history, thus my biased complaints. Should however give more credit to the overall high quality of the module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpabrams Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 @dpabrams Should however give more credit to the overall high quality of the module. Very true, overall this game, it's artwork, GUI, subject matter, historical representation and playability is unrivaled. It is in my humble belief the finest game ever made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejetset Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah. I noticed the the interior of the Churchill was not fleshed out as well as some of the other models in the original release. But to tell you the truth, I think we only have ourselves to blame for that! ... constantly pushing for the release!! However, I think the overall game is great. I would rather have it released now than have to wait another month while they put the finishing bells and whistles on the vehicles. But then again, I never painted my models as a kid! ... And my miniatures were always a uniform lead color! ... I would much rather just play. And the physics are correct. That is what really matters ... and it's still rather pretty to look at to boot! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macisle Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 See comparison pics of King Tiger and Tiger, along with some Brit armor here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/75956955@N08/6817269018/sizes/l/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/75956955@N08/sets/72157629172818316/ I think the main issue with the KT is the tread detail, but yes, I agree it looks unfinished as compared to the other models. Most of the other models look fantastic. The Achilles and Cromwells really knocked my socks off. They're superb! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Ausf B Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, I have to agree. It is oddly CMx1-ish looking. Hopefully when they do the Henschel turret version for the next (?) module they touch-up the entire model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphonne Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The King Tiger isn't the only ugly model/texture apparently. The Lynx and Wespe are horrible too in comparison with the other models. All the models are low poly and the textures look unfinished for the most part. What's the deal here?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
