peewee Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Just a quick note from the screenshots I've seen. Your late model Tiger I with steel wheels has too many roadwheels. The two outer layers of roadwheels were not fitted to steel wheeled tigers, only early versions with rubber tyred wheels. check photos. The roadwheels should not come to the edge of the track. On the same note Pz IV roadwheels SHOULD come almost to the edge of the track. Also, late model tigers did not have drum cupolas On a positive note, I think you did a great job on the cammo and colours of the various vehicles.

Mace Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Is this the "steel wheeled" Tiger 1? Actually it looks like a middle mark to me, even though the Tigers that used that scheme were really late model Tigers with the later cuppola and steel road wheels. Are you sure about the removal of outer steel wheels though? Most of my references show late model Tigers with the complete set of 8 pair of roadwheels per side, although with the order reversed from the earlier mark. eg earlier marks had the pair order from the drive bogey of Outer, Inner, Outer and so on finishing on Inner (as per modelled in the picture) The late mark had the roadwheel pair order reversed: Inner, Outer etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peewee Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 ok I found the large image in the screenshot gallery.....It's an early rubber rimmed wheel tiger with a drum cupola, but with a late war cammo scheme (copied from the AFV Club kit I'd guess). So It's better than I first supposed. I'll shut up now...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Since this looks like the place for it, I should mention that the screenshot in which the Panzerfaust projectile is visible right before impact shows that someone left the spring steel wraparound tail fins off the projectile, making the engagement shown rather problematic. Mind, that we're seeing it is pretty amazing in and of itself. Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Just got back from reading the Armchair General interview, where I noticed the following oddity here http://www.armchairgeneral.com/wordpress/wp-content/interviews/mvb/2006-07-28-TOW-%5B009%5D.jpg I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that the Russians did NOT have APDS. If I'm right, shouldn't the ammunition shown for the ZIS-2 be recaptioned to read APCR, HVAP, or Arrowhead? Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren J Pierson Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 The only nitpick that I have so far is that on the shot of the P-47 from beneath, the US insignia is on the wrong wing. It should be on the top of the left wing and the bottom of the right wing, but in the shot it is on the bottom of the left wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
