ColumbusOHGamer Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I know the white-washed look is more realistic, but I love the look of a camo'ed tank with snow accumulating on it. Gives it a REAL wintery feeling. Keep up the good work! COG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 What I am looking forward to is when someone figures out how to whitewash a vehicle in stripes or streaks. I have books with pictures of different snow camo patterns. Some were vertical stripes over the base camo color. MikeT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracer Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Thank you all for the feedback and I'm glad you like the mods I have done, but one thing I have to add, the white wash look is historical yes, but, My Opa (german grandfather}, and great uncle (my Uncle Karl), and my grandfather on my dad's side,(he was a Major in the U.S. Army} yes I'm a Army brat,all served in WWII, my Opa served in the Wermacht, my great Uncle drove a Panzer in North Africa(and was captured by the Brits), I have seen pictures (taken in WWII) of german and American tanks, and not all were white washed,I guess do to the fact a war was going on and well no one would stop long enough to let the other guy white wash his tanks(can you believe it). Also I have pics of modern day tanks I took while in europe, being out in the snow. I try to recreate what I have seen in the pics and the cool thing about this game is that there can be a variety of tanks done in differnt ways which make the game look really nice(which is just eye candy, but still).A player being able to mod his own vehicles terrain and other things is one of the many things that make this game unique (I think), and I also think the game designers realize this and say, "what the heck let them mod thier own winter stuff",(LOL, just kidding Battlefront calm down)Any way, this game is the best wargame to date, no doubt about it. And I think it's the folks playing it that realy help to make this true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that long ago when I was saying, "Wow, I wish someone would put ASL/PL/PB on a computer game." BTS really has an outstanding product. But you modders add something to it that I don't think BTS has time for. The kind of detailed modding you create just blows me away. You guys really have a gift that the rest of us can only scratch our head over. Thanks for everything you guys do. COG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Oh yeah, I also read some where that the germans white wash was put on in such a way that it could be sprayed and then wiped off, in the spring. I wish I could remember where I read that at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Whitewash was generally chalk-based, not very hard to clean away but sticky enough to cling on for a longer period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massimorocca Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 If Tracer or someone will be so kindly to do a CMMOS version we could use it in scenarios snowy but not harsh winter, and or first winter when tanks had little camouflage....

japinard Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 I DO NOT like whitewashed mods (however I make exceptions for panzermartin). Sure it may be realistic, but I much PREFER the gentle snow effects Tracer has done. Thank you! Outstanding work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Other modders like MrNoobie, Gautrek,(including me), have been helping gordon with getting the CMMOS V4.01 ready and I will have some of the most liked mods I have done CMMOS compatible, in the near future,for those of you who use CMMOS.
