Jack Carr Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Anyone notice that the Stug III and Stug IV both have the same roadwheel configuration. I think the Stug IV was based on the Panzer MKIV chassis. It should have two more roadwheels than the Stug III which was based on the Panzer MKIII chassis. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this. (As far as that last sentence goes...I guess some things need not be said.) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Shared textures. Was already the case in CMBO. The underlying model is different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zitadelle Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Originally posted by Andreas: Shared textures. Was already the case in CMBO. The underlying model is different though.While most of the textures are shared between the StuG III and the StuG IV in CMBO, the side view with the suspension definitely is not. In CMBO, the view is correctly modelled- based upon the PzKW IV chassis. However, I have to agree with the original poster that this is not the case in CMBB. I have been wondering if this is going to be fixed in a later build of CMBB. Or, if the texture models will at least be separated (according to the CMBB bitmap list they are currently shared), so that a modder can revise the CMBO side texture for CMBB. Any word from the BFC guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Carr Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 I will double check CMBO. If I recall correctly I concur with Zitadelle. In CMBO the running gear for the STUG IV had 8 wheels and the STUG III running gear had 6 wheels. This is the correct configuration for the respective vehicles.

Zitadelle Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 You don't even have to check out CMBO for the view of the StuG IV with the correct suspension. Simply take a look at the mod section at Combat Mission HQ: Combat Mission- Mods (German Tanks) On that page is a view of Fernando Julio Carrera Buil's Stug series. I am fairly sure that Kump's page for the CMBO vehicle mods also shows the correct view of the StuG IV. Alright, this has been bumped to the top, any comment yet from the guys....

Zitadelle Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 "Is anybody in there?" (P. Floyd- Comfortably Numb) Alright, this issue is on the forth page; time to get it back to the top for a possible answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zitadelle Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 From the depths of the forum, an old thread is resurrected. Now that I have a positive answer for the snowy ground during QBs (thanks for the fix BFC), I am still wondering about the StuG IV with the curtailed suspension.

Chad Harrison Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I thought that this was going to be another thread praising or bashing on how tough the StuG's can be. Interesting to look at the production of these two compared to everything else. In CMBO they were nothing, now they can take down everything up to the ISII's.
