Michael Dorosh Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 ...when are we going to see some Canadian pattern tracks on the Sherman mods? I just found out that at least one of the Shermans in Band of Brothers was in fact a Canadian Grizzly - I thought the tracks looked very Canadian! Have these been implemented in that big Sherman zip I still have in my inbox, Marco? I hope to put it up for download this weekend, incidentally.

Marco Bergman Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 If you email me some pictorial evidence, something might happen. Thank you for your delicately worded demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Dorosh Posted November 30, 2001 Author Share Posted November 30, 2001 Canadian Track Types <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> During 1942/1943 Canada designed and tested a track type consisting of single pin cast steel links, doing away entirely with the double rubber bushed pin type design. Aptly named Canadian Dry Pin or C.D.P., this track type looked a lot like German tank tracks. It did not not use valuable rubber and they proved both cheaper to make and lighter than the U.S. type steel links. C.D.P. tracks were fitted to Canadian-built Sherman related AFVs. <hr></blockquote> So I guess the operative is Canadian built which would probably rule out most Shermans, etc. Would be an interesting variant though.

Michael Dorosh Posted November 30, 2001 Author Share Posted November 30, 2001 Used on Sexton II in Canadian service, but most Brit Sextons were fitted with US track (according to The Sherman Register). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Bergman Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Thank you for the info. You shall have textures before Monday. I suppose I should also include those funny looking steel tracks the US often used... http://home.earthlink.net/~gordonemolek/sv_1.jpg [ 12-10-2001: Message edited by: Marco Bergman ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Whatever happened to that Churchill mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Or what about this type? I've got a photo of this on a Sexton. Is this what's known as "Rubber Standard WE210"?

I have sent my mod pack to der Kessel twice now, and yet it still does not appear. This, even AFTER I have included changes made to conform to pictorial evidence you sent to me. I fear I have offend you and der Kessel somehow. If so, please allow me to apologize for whatever it was that I said / did. Currently I think that it is at the CMHQ / Manx combined site (CMHQ), although where exactly I do not know. Hope that all is well with you!

Who did you send it to? I never received a final version of it. I think there are just some crossed wires here, and certainly no offense taken in any form. BTW - the air recognition was not a request, but a suggestion. Being totally inept at modding, it would never enter my mind to request anything, I just ask politely. What is the size of that email? I can only take up to 5MB on this account, and I have had some serious trouble with it in recent weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feldgrau Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Andreas, Ah, I think I see the problem here.... the mod weighs in zipped at just a tad over 7MB (I believe). Perhaps that it why you haven't received it, which would also explain why I never got back any response to my sarcastic e-mail comments which I had sent with the attachment (which prompted me to ask if perhaps I had offended you with same....) What I will do tonight is break the thing down into packets, and send them to you. This is what I have had to do with my mods when I send them to Mssr. Dorosh, as he has the same file size limitation. Hopefully this will solve the problem. I will also include a plethora of new sarcastic comments if you like, or I can just cut and paste the old ones. Your choice... Also, I am sorry regarding the confusion with my earlier post; I know that you never requested that I include the a/c recog star, nor the 'kit' version with all of the track links welded to the structure. However it was you who provided the fantastic pics which led to the inclusion of those details. Thus, guilt by association...

Andreas Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Guilty as charged. I look forward to DL'ing 7 MB of mods through my 28.8k connection. Should be done by Sunday. Please enclose the old sarcastic comments, together with some new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Matt, can you just send them one at a time, waiting for me to tell you I received the first one. Reason is that it is not only a 5MB per email limit, but also a total limit on the inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Guys, That last one could be mailed to me in one go (I'm ADSL) and I will then forward it the way you see fit to Mensch or any other Kesselers. Would help unburden your ISP and help spread this gorgeous Churchill MOD we had been testing. Drop me a mail to keep me posted. marcel.vie@wanadoo.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a brief cut from what it said: Your message To: Andreas Biermann Subject: Final Churchill file did not reach the following recipient(s): (e-mail address deleted to protect the guilty) Unable to deliver the message due to a communications failure The MTS-ID of the original message is: c=us;a= ;p=est;l=EXSVR10112011541RD2Z88L5 I've resent it to Andreas, so if he gets it then hopefully everything will be fine. If he doesn't then perhaps we'll go with your suggestion, Marcel. As always, thank you for your kind assistance! Regards, MSP P.S.- Andreas, please let me know that you have the files....

Andreas Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Okay, the UK is an effin' third-world country, with email and internet connections that would be put to shame by the average service you get in the Ugandan countryside. I hate BT, NTL, and the assorted other nitwits messing up the comms systems here. All the managers deciding about how to mistreat customers in these companies would be too well dealt with by summary execution after 25 years hard labour in a mine north of the Siberian bit of the polar circle. Their ineptitude makes them worthy of running a railway in south London. So, with that off my chest, Matt, you have mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
