Now that best wargame has been done, how about...

BEST WWII site????

Best in my opinion is Jason Pipes WWII site about German military. This guy may have even made one of the most informitive sites on the net, on any subject.

Mantaray...A truly Excelent site.

That is one of the very best I know, together with:

Well, I don't feel qualified to nominate it for "best", but this site has a rather extensive collection of 3D renderings of German AFVs. I only mentioned it here because I stumbled on it somehow after surfing the previously nominated sites....

http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Bunker/1211/3dmodels.htm

For example, check out the Tiger II at http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Bunker/1211/3dmodels.htm

And check out these views of the half-track: http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Bunker/1211/3dbtr.htm. Notice the interior detail in the last two rows....

I wonder if BTS or CoolColJ are aware of this site?

Anyone got an informed opinon on the accuracy of these models? Fionn -- perhaps you have an opinion you could share?

(My take is that the camo is rather lame, but that there's an astonishing amount of detail in the models -- I just don't know whether they're realistic.)

If they are "correct", I think it would be awesome if these were linked into discussions on these weapons -- these visualizations would seem to be very useful.

There's one pretty funny error in the 251/2 actually.

It's only minor and just the result of either:

a) him not thinking something through from a realism viewpoint or

him copying it from a book which hadn't thought things through 100%.

Anyways, they're nice models although I personally find the camo schemes to be poor. Also, I wonder how many polygons he used? One reason in-game models can't be this detailed is that a tight rein needs to be kept on their polygon counts.

Yess I've been there before

I actually emailed him - but got no reply - probably can't understand English

The models are well - done but yeah, the cammo is not right
