Runyan99 Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 With all of these mods coming out, can anybody pay some attention to the lowly H-39 Hotchkiss? The one that comes with the game is pretty ugly, and I keep playing with these things in numerous scenarios. I know it is not a glamourous tank, but please, let's have a nice factory grey model or something like that. Does anyone feel my pain? ------------------ "Artillery is a terrible thing.

Kanonier Reichmann Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 How about the paint job be done with invisible paint? Then, and only then, might the "behemoth like" Hotchkiss survive for more than a turn once it's spotted...simply because it will never be spotted...THINKS OUT LOUD...unless of course it's moving through smoke ah la that current Kevin Bacon film. Of course the uncharitable ones amongst us could argue that even if it is invisible it will still be next to useless.

mensch Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 I would do it but I don't know how to the animation for the flames and smoke, since thats what it looks like 12sec into the first round of any game. ----- "People who think they know everything are very irritating to those of us who do." -Anon.

Guest Wally'sWorld Posted August 30, 2000 Share Posted August 30, 2000 Gentlemen, please! Possible ****SPOILER**** I just fought the 'No Better Place to Die' scenario by Berlichtingen and Cory Runyan from the ASL for Combat Mission website and the H-39s did their job quite well for the Germans. I still had some of them operating at the end of the battle. I had to be careful with them and of course, it helped that I faced only paratroops and not any armour formations. But I guess the H-39s can hace their place in certain situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
