sburke,

I don't understand. Maybe my 2009 iMac simply isn't up to it, but I don't see a flame anywhere on that (just noticed the gun was down) dead Panther. Armor seemed to burn quite nicely and visibly in CMBN's Barkmann's Corner, so if there's flame in the pic, why don't I see it? Clearly, you all do.

Wildman,

What video, please? I see no link indicating there is one, just db_zero's Photobucket pic link.

Regards,

John Kettler

I may be close or exceeded my free 10G limit on PB.

Anyway depending on your system and bandwidth the video may not render well or as good as the original.

The original looks spectacular and the sound out of a 5.1 system is just as good.

This was played and rendered with an ATI 5850 video card and has the shadow bug. If I did it on my new Nvidia GTX760 it would look even better.

I have to say the GTX760 looks great not only in CM, but A-10 Warthog looks and runs great at 1650x1024 cranked up to max...

Last we compared notes, John, we have the same model iMac and the flames show up quite nicely on mine. You only see them in the last few seconds of the vid, so maybe your copy did not finish loading? Do you hear the screams of the guy trapped inside? Those are co-temporal with the flames. And the tank in question is a KT, not a Panther.

db_zero,

Problem solved! Presumably from your now resolved bandwidth issue, what I saw was a still of Panther. Period. The video now works, allowing me to see the new flame effects. Impressive. Also impressive was the ability of that poor man in the KT to anticipate his agonizing wounding! I played it through several times, and he does start wailing before the KT's hit. I was kind of freaked out by watching what looked like an armored road race more reminiscent of WoT vids than WW II armored warfare as I understand it. I'm reading Delaforce's book on 3 RTR, and one of the men quoted (believe it was Crisp) talks about his M3 Honey unit racing to the rescue of a besieged infantry force during Op Crusader. And the cross country speed of his unit is? 15 mph! To me, these tanks in the vid look like they're moving Fast at road speed. Things look as if they're unfolding at double realistic speed, if not more. Maybe I'm wrong, but something seems badly off here.

John Kettler

Its hard to see from the video posted, but the KT got sprayed with MG fire that wounded the exposed commander seconds before the 85mm shell killed it and set it on fire.

The other crew escaped, but the commander who was already wounded could not exit the burning tank and was slowly roasted.
