MikeyD Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 A new totally from-scratch mod at our favorite site: http://www.cmmods.com/ Lend-Lease 75mm Sherman M4A2 (56 degree hull front). Yes, you read it right. I've turned the game's late production 47 degree hull front Sherman into an early production 56 degree type. Check it out. This from-scratch redo includes a proper rear engine deck and accurate mid-production Sherman turret. Alternate files include markings for both Russian and Polish vehicles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 Bumped up for the dinner crowd. The mod's right under MrNoobie's fantastic King Tiger mod. Check 'em both out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevsharr Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 It would be real nice if it was cmmos compatable,I assume it's far more difficult to create cmmos comp.mod's,not being a modder and understanding the problem's.But cmhq has been quiet for awhile? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 "From-scratch" = "From square-one" = NOT modified from the original art, but redone complete. New everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlrender Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Another really nice mod Mikey. I was wondering though, because the data is hard-coded doesn’t it mean that whilst the graphic will be of an early production M4A2 the tank will behave as a late-production. Or are all armour thicknesses etc the same so it’ll make no difference? What about the 9 degree change to the angle of the front hull? The penetration calculations will still assume a 47 degree angle. Or am I assuming a greater sophistication on the part of the calculations than actually exists? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Anyone have a quick list of scenarios that use these Shermans? :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Great job, and I know that it's a b***h to convert mods from CMBO to CMBB due to the game engine, but could this mod be converted to CMBO?? It would look great for the polish forces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 The 75mm gun M4A2 Sherman in the game has specs for an early 56 degree hull, the polygon only is the (incorrect) late hull. I did-up my 75mm gun Sherman mod so it would visibly match the specs that are in the game. The 76mm gun Sherman, on the other hand, does have 47 degree hull specs so that vehicle's polygon is correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 thanks gordon, point well taken, but what if you removed the marking, could it possibly be converted?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 The baseline mod is plain with the various slogans as alts. It could probably be converted with a little effort (CMBO uses fewer textures per vehicle). Unfortunately I'm on an old mac. I literally don't have enough hard drive space for both CMBO and CMBB and had to delete one. If you want the mod altered for CMBO another kind soul will have to do it for you (with my full permission). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracer, Not to detract from MikeyD's excellent mod, have you looked at Marco's original Sherman mods for CMBO? Quite nice with many options, and already CMMOS compatible.

tracer Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Thanks gordon, just got the mods, this will save me having to convert MikeyD's mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 My own hat's off to Marco's excellent CMBO Sherman mod. It was his mod that convinced me that an imitation 56 degree hull mod could be done! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
