Black Five Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Your tanks are way too clean Having spent the last two years of my life on a tank, which is probably a lot easier to clean then WWII tank, I can safely say the mods need to be dirtier. Whenever a tank goes off road and the ground is even slightly damp they dig up just about everything and spew it all over themselves. Thus far no one has made a trunk, like elephants have, to put on tanks so they get really dirty and smelly during a long Op. Also, the TC should be dirty and smelly too. I've heard rumors that Tiger is working a smell mod, but I won't hold my breath. In all seriousness thanks to all armor mod makers. I really enjoy seeing what you create and share, asking nothing in return. Jeremy S. Filko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrene Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 I agree, all vehicles are too clean. Mud, we need mud. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Five Posted October 29, 2001 Author Share Posted October 29, 2001 My post was supposed to be a joke I greatly appreciate the tireless efforts of the mod makers. However, I still want the smell mod :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also helps that "air" of authenticity to eat a large plate of beans before play. Cabbage is good too.

russellmz Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 actually i agree. i complained a lot way back but mod makers always bring out the most beautiful, polished, spic and span, waxed tanks out. a few had that dirty look i liked but 99% are 100% clean. but no big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commissar Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Maybe someone could sprinkle mud stains on existing mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Oh just put mud on your computer screen then you would be happy and we ( people preferring clean tanks) would be happy. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puff the Magic Dragon Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Another good smell mod: catch & kill same rats (or cats, dogs, what ever you prefer) place the half under your table for a week when the week is over roast the others over gun powder til they're black Go to your local butcher and ask for a bucket of guts and blood. Drob it in your room. The battlefield will never again smell so realistic. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogadai Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 I agree that most of the vehicles are far too clean and spritely (pun intended). My other problem is the lack of extra stowage seen on most vehicles and camouflage on the Germans. All turret-heads in my experience tend to festoon their vehicles with extra bits and pieces, sometimes for more protection (sand bags, concrete, etc) and sometimes for comfort (bedding, etc). The Germans tended to hang branches and so on all over their vehicles as well. As an example, my first effort at modding was to try and make a very late model Panther G. I found that there was no way I could put the gun cleaning tube where it was meant to be, across the rear decking and that it was very difficult to place extra cables, equipment and so on, on the hull. So I gave up, mores the shame. It seems the models used in the game just don't quite allow really all that much in the addition of extra detail in some ways.

MichaelU Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Correct me if I'm wrong, (which I normally am) but wouldn't any modded mud appear the same on every tank of the same type. To me having a line of Shermans all with an identical mud splash on the left fender would look wierder than having a whole bunch of clean tanks. I first noticed this problem when I played a scenario with about 30 modded MkIVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
