UncleTgt Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 For those working on a Norrey battle (you know who you are ), I've adapted the Panther A mod I posted at Zimorodok's site & posted the early version, complete with skirts @ CMMODs. It's in the CMBB section, as I've only tried it out in CMBB, though I understand the 3D model is the same in CMAK. Hope it's what you were looking for ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 UncleTgt, thank you. In my previous post on this subject I made a bit of a mess of it. What I meant to say is that I would like to have a PZ V A with skirts (so NOT the PZ V A EARLY version with skirts) in Lucky Strikes camo pattern (12th SS). At the moment the PZ V A doesn't have skirts. Can you perhaps tell me how I can re-number the BMP files, so I can have a PZ V A (not the early A version) with skirts if possible? I've tried it, but can't figure it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleTgt Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Aragorn, I don't think it's possible. I think the hard coded 3D model for the Pz VA doesn't have a separate location that you can place the skirt bmp onto. The Pz VA (early) does have a separate bmp location. Think of it as a canvas that the game projects a painting onto. The only way I can think of getting a PzVA with a skirt is to paint it on over the hull side, suspension & wheel bmp, & I'm guessing it just won't look right. The only other differences between Pz VA & Pz VA early is the bow mg mount, & the hull top needs tweaking to fit (longer mudguards, & a different location for the forward hull top. This is because of how the game projects the bmp onto the 3D model.). Does CMAK have a Pz V early? Couldn't you just use early PzVA in the Norrey scenario as a trade off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 UncleTgt, I was afraid of that, thank you for confirming it. CMAK does have a Pz V early and I'm using it now. My only problem with that is that the Pz V A early doesn't have the same optics as the Pz V A. I was hoping to give the 3rd Panzer Company some better odds. At the moment their shooting doesn't impress me. I think I will use the Pz V A without skirts instead. Sorry for being such a perfectionist and thanks for your patience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleTgt Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hey, no problem. Regarding the 3rd company's poor shooting - have you tried tweaking their quality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Well, since they are well trained, but do not have any experience, I gave them the status of veterans, which is the best I can do for them. Any better would be unrealistic. I did consider to reduce the quality of the Firefly gunners, but the British gunners were good and I gave them the status of regulars, which perhaps doesn't do them justice. But it's allright, I will experiment on and of course heavy losses on the German side are exactly what they should be. In reality they hardly did get the chance to fire a shot. Perhaps I can change the situation a bit more by sending the Panzergrenadiere ahead of the tanks, so they can help to identify the Fireflies and six-pounders in an earlier stage, so the Panthers can protect their flanks better. You've got to love this game, it feels so realistic that sometimes I feel I'm watching history, instead of a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
