Herr Kruger Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Ok, what .bmps are used for vehicles that are partially IDed but not fully IDed? We have several types of T34s, but when they are partially IDed as "T34 Tank" but not the specific type, which .bmps are being used at that point? Have these been modded? Is it one specific type of T34 which is being shown in this level of identification? Just wondering. J Kruger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchlstrt Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 There's one set for 'Tank?' (tanky looking) & one set for 'Light Armor?' (half tracky looking). I found the .BMPs, but I don't have them in front of me now. I thought of Modding them, but I haven't had any clever ideas that would stiill be completely generic. strt (grammer) [ February 13, 2003, 01:35 PM: Message edited by: mchlstrt ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFJaykey Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Boy, if I had thought of this when the "Most Wanted Mod" thread was hot, this is what I would have said. The generic markers are durn ugly. The light grey ones are particularly annoying. Just because a vehicle is unidentified, it shouldn't stand out so glaringly from the landscape...if anything the generic markers should be darker, more mysterious. I hope one of the talented modders agrees and takes this one on! - Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 No, I'm not talking about the grey, blockey "Tank?" and "Light Armor?" shapes. Those are displayed before a vehicle is IDed even as a tank or not, ie. your troops are not sure it is even a tank. I'm talking about what bmps are displayed when your troops know it is a T34, but what type of T34 it is is not yet known. What I'm asking is, is there a generic T34 bmp that is displayed before the specific T34 bmp comes into use. In a QB I'm playing I've knocked out two T34s, one is fully IDed, the other is not. Are there different bmps for such a case... My CMBB is not heavily modded so I'm not sure myself yet. Not sure if I made myself clear or not...

mchlstrt Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Now you have. Interesting question & I have no clue as to the answer. strt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Yes, they use different bmps. My copy is heavily modded and without fail, the T-34s show up in a camo pattern that I have on my m43s before they are identified. I do not know if the default bmp is chosen based on year. Both battles I've seen this in were taking place in 1943. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 Ok, thanks. I was kind of thinking it makes sense to use one of the specific T34 bmps instead of having a whole other set of bmps for a generic T34.

Pzman Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Hmm I don't think that's the case, I have found that it shows the T-34 model that is most likely to be found during that time period. I have mods and I am 99% sure that it doesn't use any special bmps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
