In the case of accepting the broader critera for your definition we, would both be wrong as looking at strength returns & how the tanks were identified, the identification columns for the Tiger E & Tiger B are are not identified by type but listed as a whole as PzVI . On that note one could say the "official" designation of the Tiger B could also be "PzVI" because its used more regurly in the strength returns compared, to Königstiger etc. Yet all the Tiger Ausf B training manuals, tech data etc use the "offiocial designation of Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger 8.8 cm Sd.Kfz.182 Ausf.B LOL I'd use the official one just to egg you on ..

Brer Pinkey Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 Hey Tom. Nice TigerII startup screen. Could you do one with a Stuart M5A1 or Greyhound behind it shooting it 'where the sun don't shine'? ------------------ "What are we going to do tonight Brain?"

McAuliffe Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 Must admit, that I feel honoured, that Tom used the "La Gleize" background. Speaking of La Gleize, the actual Tiger II (Königstiger (sd. Kfz. 182) nbr. 213 of Cdt. Dollingen, defending the farm of Werbemont, is standing now in commemoration of the battle on the market square of the village. Credits : Henrik Hasman (Denmark) I have been looking in Madmatt's mods depot, but could not find a look-a-like camouflage pattern. Are there any mod specialists able to make one...It would make the scenario all together more enjoyable. Thanks ------------------ http://users.pandora.be/aneric/index8.htm#Projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperscope Posted September 13, 2000 Share Posted September 13, 2000 Tom, great job. For myself, I like the one made by Gunslinger just a little bit better. But thanks for your effort. sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Smith Posted September 13, 2000 Share Posted September 13, 2000 Hey John, Hof I've got a great idea - from now on lets call em... Tiger I ....now know as Zee flipin flopin big tank with zee flipin flocken big gun (FFBTZFFBG); and Tiger II ...now known as Zee bigin dan zee flipin flopin big tank with zee even bigger flipin flocken big gun (ZBDFFBTZEBFFBG). There that should make it lots easier Cheers Lads Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted September 13, 2000 Share Posted September 13, 2000 Has anyone else noticed how cool the HVSS shermans look? Anyway, they look scary with those big tracks. I think a big shot from the same aspect as the Tiger II cover would look even more impressive. Very nice artwork on the cd cover and intro screen btw Tom. Tom: I'll be sending you a scenario shortly once I work the last major bugs out. Hopefully it will be good enough to warrant posting on your side. The San Marino scenario is awesome...a map makes the scenario and it's a great map. Ren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted September 13, 2000 Share Posted September 13, 2000 Aussie, beg to differ. everybody here knows that ZBDFFBTZEBFFBG was just the informal name the troops used. Offficially it was known as the FFBTZEBFFBG Ausf. 2 or FFBTZEBFFBG II LOL ------------------ "Hehe nah u have some valid points mate but umm well be a bit nicer."
