Ferdinand to CMBO???


Recommended Posts

Depends what you mean. Mods only change the textures, or "skins" of vehicles, so it would be possible to make a jagdtiger look sort of like a ferdinand. However, you can't import vehicles; the 3D models and vehicle data is hardcoded into CM.

Hold on there pards.

You can mod the textures all you want, but that would be a hot dog stand in the shape of a Jagdtiger.

Models and internal game statistics (armor, speed, weight, etc) cannot be changed/modded.

So using Ferdinand textures on a Jagdtiger would look just like a Jagdtiger, just a different paint scheme.

The problem is the models themselves are hard coded into the CM games, as well as the stats. The current CM engine would not allow you to exchange models between games, or transpose them.

The only solution I can see to this is buy CMBB and play with the Ferdinands on the eastern front. Besides that, will have to wait until future CM releases.

umm, there were no Elefants (which I'll assume is what you mean, the Ferdinands were the original version without the MG) involved in the battle for Western Europe.

They were either used on the Eastern Front, or the Italian Campaign.

Err After Kursk they were brought back to Germany to be re-worked including MG ball mounts. They then received the Elefants designation. Ferdinand’s no longer existed after Kursk. Try reading what mace has said again.
