illo Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 I just looked a pictures of StuG-III and StuG-IV. They have different chassis and different amount of roadwheels. But in CM Stug-IV has PzKw-III hull and suspension, why? CM StuG-IV looks like Stug-III IMHO. PzKw-IV chassis has 8 roadwheels PzKw-III has 6.

mike8g Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 Well illo, this is not a CM issue. It looks like you've installed a mod that 'equalized' them. In fact, the CM engine has different BMPs for both hull-types: #3270.bmp for StuG III suspension #4600.bmp for StuG IV suspension I've searched the mod archive on my HDD and had a close look on the different StuG mods: The following sets have different files for StuG III and IV: - CM original - MDMP2.zip (Madmatt) - fernandowinterstug.zip (Fernando S. Carrera) - winterstug.zip (Maximus) These sets share one file for both: - stugtan.zip (bfamily33) - stugpanzergrayjohns.zip (Tiger) - stug_h foliage_johns.zip (Tiger) - stug_stuh_by tiger.zip (Tiger) Hope that helps Marcus BTW, no offence to any mod author intended- they all did great work to improve the game for us. Keep up the good work - all of you. ------------------ Alle Maschinen voraus Große, Ruder hart Backbord. Neuer Kurs wird Zwo-Eins-Null.

Tiger Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 Why? Probably just too tired one night and missed it, including subsequent ones since I referred back to the first one. Here's a corrected bmp: http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/~jshki/combat_mission/sturmgeschutzIVcorrectwheels.ZIP `Tiger ps If you want the previous ones corrected let me know. It should be fairly easy to do now. ok try it now [This message has been edited by Tiger (edited 03-03-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike8g Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 Tiger, It's that speed of mod-ding (and replying to requests), why you are one of the greatest. Thank you.

Tiger Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 Some think my last drab-yellow ones were too bright but I don't think they are. A number of people have suggested that not all German AFVs had camo. Oh well here's the former with the latter ;p [This message has been edited by Tiger (edited 03-03-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illo Posted March 3, 2001 Author Share Posted March 3, 2001 Thanks Mike and Tiger. I really like your gray Stugs Tiger. Is there brown camo in lower pic or am I just seeing it? No need for gray StuGs if I can have that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted March 5, 2001 Share Posted March 5, 2001 Originally posted by illo: No need for gray StuGs if I can have that one I've made a mod to update Tiger's grey StuG IV (works both with and without foliage). I'll send it to you tonight. Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Posted March 5, 2001 Share Posted March 5, 2001 illo, In direct answer to your question, BTS did not have time to make a unique StuG IV model. The solution was to com-press 8 Pz IV road wheels onto the the side of an ordinary StuG III. A satisfactory solution I guess, but in reality the differences where many more than just the number road wheels. The size difference between the hulls make the StuG superstructure (designed for the Pz III chassis) look a little odd on top of the Pz IV chassis. A very noticeable difference was the protruding drivers station. The poor integration of the drivers position is a clear indication of the ad hock nature of this vehicle. However, as I indicated above, to get it all would require a unique 3D model. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
