There are good pictures of US tanks with giant holes in the white stars. Many units subdued the markings with OD or drab coloured paint, obscured them with mud, or painted over them entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Excellent Gordon-----love to have all of these--especially like the Camoed Crusader. Echoing another earlier query-could you please clarify where they are--- or will be-- downloadable? Many thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 well the germans had huge crosshairs (balkencrauz) so i guess it evens out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 aka_tom_w and pcelt, They'll all (the M10, Sherman II, Sherman III (early), Crusader II and Grant) be available in the near future from CM:HQ. After they've been posted there, I'll also upload them to CMMODS. Kanonier Reichmann, My guess is that the AFV crews were more afraid of Allied aircraft than Axis AT weapons. They probably encountered the former on a more regular basis than the latter. Oddball_E8, Yes, but most combatans tended to reduce the size of national markings as time went on.

Gordon Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Ok, I stumlbed upon this cool scheme for one of the wackiest vehicles in the game, and so I just had to work it up. I still need to rough it up and get it all dirty, but it will be included in the batch upload with the Shermans, M10, Crusader and Grant.

von Lucke Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Verraw nawce. But you want to see wacky? Check out the Deacon: Looks like an ice-cream truck crossed with a destroyer. Now that begs for the Gordon Makeover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdstrike Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Absolutely marvelous!

Maybe it's just me, but I can't help thinking about some destroyer in the middle of the North Atlantic, shooting at a German sub with a tank turret (AP only - of course ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Not to be harsh, but those mods have been dangled tantalizingly before us for long enough (first post 2 weeks ago). I'd say it's past time for at least ONE of them to finally be offered up to your adoring public. Y'know, If you persist in teasing us with little peeks like this we're going to have to start calling you 'Janet Jackson'! :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando said it all when he said that it looked like a U.S. Civil War Ironclad with wheels. I'm not sure it needs a make-over. What's the matter, you don't like Mikey Mouse Ears camo?

Y'know, If you persist in teasing us with little peeks like this we're going to have to start calling you 'Janet Jackson'! :eek: Ooh, now that hurts. Actually, it all started when I mis-understood Oddball_E8's request for camo Shermans and previewed the Sherman II that I was working on. Then he corrected me and I had to work up the M10. Well, then I had to go and do the Sherman III (early), and then I thought I'd go finish the Crusader Mk II I'd been fiddling with. Then Gautrek has to ask for the 3-tone Grant and I had to stumble onto the picture of the camo Bishop ... :eek: Anyway, it's a good thing I retired from this sort of modding. Expect to see them available soon. Gordon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 "Expect to see them available soon." Okay Janet, we can wait. Now that I'm finished verbally abusing you I've got to think up a new CMAK mod project for myself. You're taking all the 'cool' ones for yourself! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to get my head back into the game for working on my from-scratch CMBB KT. Actually, an ultra-detailed Rolls Royce Armoured Car could be very nice if you were looking for suggestions. A "road-warrior" vehicle if ever there was one. Gordon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautrek Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Yes thats what i was looking for. I was also trying to do the same camo scheme on the crusader and not getting very far.But i needn't bother now as its been done by the master. So please hurry up and release these. BTW an email is on its way about the desert dust colours CHEERS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 Just to tie up the loose ends in a nice neat knot, these mods are now released. See Madmatt's topic for details. Gordon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
