mike8g Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Great work! A question for ~Tiger~: Do you plan to make a Comet, since both (even with different bmp numbers) uses the same hull layout ?

MikeT Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Germanboy, saddly they won't in reallife but they do a make the only substitute for the Matilda, providing you change the ammot load to AP only. MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikey D Posted February 5, 2001 Share Posted February 5, 2001 NUCH improved roadwheels! When I did my own (more humble) personal Cromwell mod, I found darkening just the front face of the turret and vertical bow plate gives the thing a nice 3-D effect, like one face of the box is in shadows. A dramatic effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Germanboy Posted February 5, 2001 Share Posted February 5, 2001 Very nice mod BTW. I was just thinking, would you consider putting unit markers on there? I have a number of pictures with fully visible unit ID on the tank, in the theatre, so it would be realistic. I think it adds a lot, especially with Commonwealth tanks, their triangle/square/circle squadron ID system and the unit insignia (my favourite is the 11th AD's Black Bull) look really nice. ------------------ Andreas Der Kessel Home of „Die Sturmgruppe“; Scenario Design Group for Combat Mission.

Buckeye Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Hey Fenris, it already is available at Manx's Combat Mission site. And it looks good in the game too!

Tiger Posted February 6, 2001 Author Share Posted February 6, 2001 Germanboy, I do not have any info on where the triangle/circle/square markings go. Hull side? turrent side? I have the snorting bull on yellow background and the white letters on red square and it looks ok, though I'm not sure if I have them placed correctly. The info I have from a single reference bmp of squadron markings says the unit & formation signs go on the front and rear hull plates. Any info you could provide would be most helpful. ~Tiger~ ps~ here's what I came up with so far: [This message has been edited by Tiger (edited 02-05-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Germanboy Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Originally posted by Tiger: Germanboy, I do not have any info on where the triangle/circle/square markings go. Hull side? turrent side? The markings would go on the sides and back of the turret AFAIK. The Bull would go on the track cover. I will dig out some pictures tonight and post them here. There is also a good thread by Forever Babra on unit ID in which he and Michael discuss this stuff. Great work already. ------------------ Andreas Der Kessel Home of „Die Sturmgruppe“; Scenario Design Group for Combat Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Germanboy Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Okay, here we go. Please excuse the poor quality of the pictures. A Firefly from C Squadron with a clearly visible circle on the back of the turret, herding German POWs. Placement of divisional insignia and number on the front of a Comet. Insignia on the LEFT LEFT (d'uh) (seen from the driver's perspective) Placement of divisional insignia and number on the front of a Priest during victory parade in Kiel. Placement of tactical markings on a CS Cromwell. Churchill of A Squadron 3 Troop 9 RTR (named Impetous) May 1944, the second non-theatre picture of these. Hmm, caption says 13 Troop Leader's tank - shouldn't that be 14? 'Indomitable' in the Ardennes. Note the name painted on the side, vehicle registration and tactical marking. It seems all 9 RTR tanks had their name painted on the sides. My favourite is 'Ich Dien'. Hope that helps, let me know if you need more, I'll go and dig.

Tiger Posted February 7, 2001 Author Share Posted February 7, 2001 Thanks Andreas. Unfortunately putting names on the turrent/hull side is not feasible. The lettering will come out backwards & reversed on the opposite side. Not sure but I think there are 2 turrent side bmps for the Churchill. It looks like what I have in the pic above is correct, except for using a letter in play of a number inside the box on the turrent side. Hopefully BTS will allow a seperate bmp for each turrent side in CM2 so that we won't get lettering/numbers reversed on the opposite side. *Tiger* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In CM2 they will almost have to do that, in order to portray the slogans written on the turrets by the Soviets. Hmm, have I have not got a picture of the KV-1 at Bovington. Had a great slogan. ------------------ Andreas Der Kessel Home of „Die Sturmgruppe“; Scenario Design Group for Combat Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 The alternative is to use palindromic names, but there aren't very many decent ones - AMMA MOM AHA etc. - nothing you would expect to see a tank named. I think a lot of tank names started with A, B, or C also, so as to distinguish A B and C squadrons from each other - beyond just the shape of the turret markings. You are restricted to the letters A H I M O T U V W X Y I saw one of the Stuart mods had a lower case "n" to spelle AnnA - quite clever, that! ------------------ http://wargames.freehosting.net/cmbits.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
