Heinrich505 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 "Er Brennt" cries his loader. Yes, he can see the flames. The hatches are thrown open and the enemy crew bails out, smoldering from the hungry flames. Schreiner imagines he can see the crazed look of fear on the smoke blackened faces of the enemy tankers. Someone shouts that the tankers have weapons.Schreiner claws for his handgun. The danger is not over... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The rabbits in their flame-scorched uniforms flee into the woods. He only counts three so not everyone escaped the flaming coffin.Schreiner takes a few half-hearted shots with his pistol, knowing he has no chance to hit them.Fear ripples down the trench as more purple flares are seen on the right flank. More enemy tanks. He shudders and holsters his pistol. Then he starts to run towards the new threat, sick with the knowledge that Rolf must be dead.

BarbaricCo Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Barbaric, Really nice effect with the snow. Is that adjusted rain to look like snow? How do you get that effect in game?Heinrich505Happy New Year Those are photoshopped but they are used for game loading screens.CMRT will not have “real falling snow” until official module pack, but we can trick rain little bit with shaders to look like snow. Take a look here http://community.battlefront.com/topic/121301-cmrt-winter-mod-thinktank/?do=findComment&comment=1646039 Thanks for trying Winter Mod.

Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The push is on to rescue fellow comrades in the Cherkassy pocket. Max is watching the carnage as it unfolds before his Tiger. His view is from the gunner's reticule.Hauptmann Lohmeyer has his head out the top hatch as usual. He calls out "T-34 12 'o clock, dead ahead." His voice rarely changes from calmly conversational, even when in the heat of battle or chastising the crew for some wrongdoing. Max has already seen it and made the corrections. This is a sharp crew and Max is the sharpest. He has to be - this is a Tiger. He pulls the trigger without command from Lohmeyer, such is the trust his Hauptmann has in his abilities. Max seems to visually walk the shell to the target - TREFFER, a hit. He saw the impact to the enemy turret moments before the flames. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Even after these many years of combat, the possibility of burning in a tank still horrifies Max. It is probably a universal terror shared by all fighting men who venture out in steel beasts.Max sees the tank commander pulling himself out of the flames that rush from the interior out the top hatch like a fireplace flue gone mad.The loader is already ramming home another shell as Max keeps the target reticule on the enemy tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Unconsciously Max is counting - one, two, three - almost willing the men to escape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 "Four out," Max calls on the intercom. He doesn't know why he did that. Perhaps he wanted his commander to know for situational awareness. He can see the enemy rolling in the snow to put out the flames on their uniforms. He imagines the terror they must be..."HE out," calls the loader. Max is stunned for a moment. How did he miss that? Hauptmann Lohmeyer ordered HE instead of armor piercing. Was he daydreaming? thinks Max, alarmed at the possibility."Shoot," calls Loymeyer. Instinctively Max pulls off the shot, having dropped the elevation a fraction without consciously realizing he'd done that. The commander means to shoot the crew too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 A Max fires, a blinding flash begins to erupt from the stricken enemy tank. The ammo is going off in a tremendous fireball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The scene seems to erupt in slow motion for Max. His magnification is better than his commander's binoculars. As the horror erupts below, he sees the HE explosion from his shell going off in the midst of the enemy crew. The crew is ripped to bits in the fiery blast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Lohmeyer watches with satisfaction from his command position. The enemy will not be using that tank again. He catches a glimpse of movement to the right of the tank. "One running," he calls. The loader has already run another HE round into the breech, as there was no change in orders from the last shot."Max, come to 3 degrees to the right...don't let him get away."Max realizes that his commander wishes a clean sweep of the tank and crew. Numbly he makes the corrections to line up the shot. HE only requires that he is close. The deadly shrapnel will do the rest.He pulls the trigger, and the tank rocks as the huge 8.8 cm shell rips from the muzzle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The tank crewman disappears in a gout of flame and shrapnel. He almost made it. Probably not enough left to bury, thinks Max."Come on, Max. Stow your conscience," orders Lohmeyer. "This is the eastern front. What do you think they will do to us if we have to bail out? Feed us cake and wine?""We are an elite crew of specialists in Tigers," he reminds his crew. "The Russian beasts will burn us alive over a fire if they catch us.""Stay alert, more enemy ahead." Forward is the order given and the tank lurches into motion.Max tries to shake the horrific visions out of his head and puts his eyes against the gun sight. It is kill or be killed.The war continues... Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The ground trembles as the Tiger hunts. A shot from the scenario "A Lot too Late." The Winter Mod by Kohl and Barbaric and scenarios by Kevin are really a labor of love. Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Death by Tiger.Also from "A Lot too Late." The slight height advantage had the shell punching through from high to low. The crater was from the catastrophic explosion. No survivors. Practically point blank range - the T-34 commander was charging the Tiger.Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
