Okay, I've updated the preview pics on page 1.

The most notable difference are the Thompsons who have their wooden parts match the M1 rifle more.

And, Brian, a sleeve for the Vickers, plus that darker tripod.

Wrong. The M2 was a multipurpose machine gun that was mounted on many platforms that required a right-hand feed (fighter aircraft, twin and quad mounts). A picture of a M2 in a dual mount clearly shows both right and left-hand feeds.

Oh, and the quad mount on an M16 (although it is a little harder to see).

Why? I'd be surprised actually, if they did, considering different manufacturers made each weapon.

Much better! Very nice, indeed. Now its looking like a real Vickers should! :D

Now, lets see you get to work on the Bren, then. ;)

That was merely a gameplay decision. It just looks better in game. I'm not really into 100% realism here. Frankly, I don't know the first thing about guns. smile.gif

Glad you like the Vickers. I've already updated it to give the canvas a 3D-ish look, not like it's glued onto the barrel like in the preview pic.

Yes, even nicer now. With this, I might be tempted to use a mod for the first time. When will it be released and will you do all the other weapons as well?

Now, a question, doesn't the .50 cal feed from the left, not the right?

The .50 can be set up to feed from either side.[/QB]</font>

i am curious to see how well the preview images actually translate into the actual game.

thanks.

They look awsome. Juju used me as a playtester. He has really outdone himself this time.</font>

Hi all. I've just updated the previews one final time, and sent the pack off to Manx at CMHQ just now.

Thought you'd like to know. smile.gif

Thank god. I was about to complain and whine about when they were going to be released. Now I can complain and whine to Manx about when he'll put them up
