Rastamon Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Updated Panther looks fantastic and thanks for all the options. One request though...given all the Lehr scenarios/campaigns, could we get a Pzr Lehr version? Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 This is what I see as I start modding just the hull on every vehicle. Turret, wheels, gun, tracks unmodded. They are begging for mercy I guess. Still, I will reduce weathering on the vertical surfaces and rear hull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Then, I usually add the turret weathering, after that, I start removing dirt layers selectively, but as I make mod for myself, I never get to make everyone happy with the dirt amount...Next step is to erase rather than adding (that Schurtzen weathering and rear hull don't look right to me yet). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Payware filters add that extra sharpening and relief detail needed on zimmerit covered vehicles. Decals are getting closer... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hister Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I was wondering for some time but haven't asked and will do so now - did German tanks really have such desert like camo colouring in Normandy like yours have Fuser? If I would be in charge of the German paint-shop back then I would recolour all of my tanks to look more greenish. So what's your take on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 I simply desaturated stock bitmaps for a faded "not factory fresh" paint effect. Panther Ds usually had olive green over dark yellow pattern. Starting in September 1944, german tanks had a red brown applied that a stronger red tinge. (RAL 8012 instead of RAL 8017). ) Anyway, google RAL 8012 and you will realize that there is no agreement on the matter, hehe. I guess it's just a matter of "you like it" or " you don't". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 BTW, there is a very strange problem with decal variants in the Panther A Mid. It's the first time I see this: Even if you have 2 or 3 decal sets for the turret the game engine will always show a Panther with spare tracks hiding the turret (and markings there). If you have more than 2 Panther A Mids ingame at the same time, then decals start to show (still, spare tracks have some kind of priority). But the odd thing is that the game mixes parts from different bitmaps so I found myself looking at a Panther turret which has markings from 2 different Divisions at the same time. Really odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Two Panther A Mids sharing parts from different bitmaps, thus avoiding proper depiction of markings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Strange.. Is it limited to the back hatch? Or how is it even possible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 It even affects the gun barrel...I had to modify some decal positioning to get rid of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuser Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ok, this has to be Work in Progress #1 for the Firefly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
