kohlenklau Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 Has anyone downloaded SILVER and tried the new scenarios? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Over the next week or so I will finalize the CMFI FRANCE 1940 GOLD PACK and finish a scenario to try and show off GOLD. Tentative list... If anybody spots any goofs with SILVER, please just PM me. Screenshots are best of course. If needed I can try to roll SILVER "fixes" in with GOLD. Then I am gone to Europe for a week starting May 17. Bovington and Saumur. I hope to sneak home a tank in my luggage. One of the early war smaller tanks might slip through.

Yes, I'm English (but also European, always will be). We plan to share food in European proportions, not Texan , but the beer and wine will be in English proportions, so probably too much . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I read too quickly and thought the screenshot was by kohlenklau but actually it is yours, so credit to you of course for the picture! I chose it for the banner because in addition to being nice and related to a topic dear to kohlenklau, it was also well suited for the 'Goody Bag' (perspective from the back of the soldiers). As you can see, I reframed the screenshot for the purpose. In the end: great teamwork! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 I have a list of FRANCE 1940 scenarios I decided I must do before I can retire. You all will be damn ready for me to go after all this retirement moaning and groaning! You guys are great. Thanks for the kindness and understanding. BODANGE (Ardennes Chasseurs) IN PROGRESS STONNE (French attack) ETALLE (GD) IN PROGRESS SUXY (GD) VONCQ (SS-Polizei's first combat) map started YONCQ (big French armor attack against the Panzers) map started ok, you might be scatching your head. Yes, there really is a Voncq and a Yoncq PERBAIS (German infantry attack) a few others I can't recall the town name... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me I had messed with that slow poke a couple years ago in trying to make a British MK VI for Crete. Yesterday I went ahead and started experiments using the L3/35 which has no actual turret and is smaller but is as fast as the PzI. Experiments include also scaling it up in size in Blender. EDIT: This might be hard to follow. I just did a Blender edit and renamed the L5/21 turret as mount and when it stands in for the L3/35, I get "some" turret movement left and right. Now I can do Doctor Frankenstein stuff and TRY TO make it all look more like the actual Panzer I. It is fun to fight these little 1940 tanks against each other.

Suchy Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 @kohlenklau This is a difficult task. As already shown, there is a good mechanics donor in the form of L5/21. In contrast, there is a lack of donors for the 3D model. There are no vehicles on the Panzer I chassis in the CM, and there are no vehicles with a similar chassis. As far as the turret is concerned, after removal of the cannons and some rescaling, the structures from Luchs, T70 and PSW 231 are somewhat similar. Obviously, strongly extending gun barrels are needed, maybe from Stuart? Chassis? - Maybe a T70 or even better a Wiesel from CMSF2 extended by 1 wheel . Hull??? - Luchs somewhat similar ... An exceptionally difficult task ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I tried the Lloyd carrier to get the antique style spoked wheels but it had an odd hull in other areas. I will try to back fit the spoked wheels. Maybe add the horizontal tie bar. Turret: I am using the turret from the 231 8-rad. I have scaled it to .75 and doubled the mg's and deleted the cannon. I am fighting a few Blender mystery issues but so far it performs well. "the baby brother behind the little brother" But now I go to my office job for 3 days. I will mess with it at night.

Very nice and prometting job, did you use hex editor first to find what you want to swap ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just playing in the laboratory like Doctor Frankenstein. I see now it is an Ausf B due to 5 roadwheels. I think I can add some small pistol ports (just in closed dummy positions) and TRY to change a few armor plates to better get to the shape of the Pz I. The L3/35 is a damn good stand-in for the Pz I...(no turret but I do have the mount moving a little like a turret) Now I just need to make it look better.
