Bogdan Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hello, As you may know, Panther turrets were widelly used along the different german defence lines in Italy from 1943 to 1945. Even if (It is almost sure) CMAK is totally done now and ready to ship ( ), let me ask this question to the BFC designers : - Will Panther turrets will be included in CMAK ? I know that concrete bunker with 75mm gun exists but it doesn't provide the same pleasure to play. On the other hand, I'm not sure that the "Concrete bunker" coded model has the same parameters than a Panther pillbox (armament, protection, traversing speed, etc...). Any comment ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Red Line Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 You can already dig in tanks in CM, i think it provides a similar effect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Ha ! I forget that this function was available. I don't use to dig my Panther tanks. What about traversing speed ? I've read that this speed depends on the motor's rpm value. Then, a dug in turret would have a lower speed... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastables Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 286 Ostwallturm/Pantherturm I/III (steel box and reinforced concreate emplacements) were installed by the end of the war. 48 had been installed in Italy. These varients had 4cm top armour and a rotating periscope as opposed to a coupola. But saying that there were Normal panther turrets mounted on the Pantherturms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Ha !

Michael Dorosh Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 But there is not way to MAKE a player dig in his tanks. You can padlock them in place, but IIRC, there is no way to give him the freedom to place them where he wants, but ensure that they are also dug in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russellmz Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 in the scenario editor put panther tanks where you want them. go to the tile map and put down rough tiles under them. then go back to the map and put mg pillboxes where the tanks are. now you got turrents o top of pillboxes.
