akd Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Why do all the Mauser rifles have cut-outs in the stock for the bolt handles on the LEFT side? Why is the Panzerfaust 150 included in the gallery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzfeld Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Also why ISNT the panzerfaust 30 or 60 included in the gallery???? Maybe...like they said...not everything is in the gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'm sure not everything is included, just surprised at the quality and lack of realism of some items that were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by Lack of realism"? :confused: Just curious as to what you are refering to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 That the panzerfaust 150 is included and that the Mausers have the bolt cut-outs in the stock on the opposite side from the bolt. sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syaped Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I'm not sure what you guys are talking about with the cut-outs on the wrong side but the pictures of the rifles could have easily been flipped. Causing the 'error'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syaped Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I just looked at them. They're using the same texture on both sides. Saves time,memory etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Ah, I see. Seems kinda sloppy, but they are rather small small arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iplaygames2 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I really don't mean to sound like a ninny, but isn't this going a bit overboard? I mean, I could see if a tank or artillery piece was a bit lacking in detail, but to complain about the lack of a bolt handle on a rifle? I would think most people would be more worried about AI, pathfinding, LOS issues, realistic terrain, etc, before worrying about how a rifle is rendered. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ah, I didn't realize that there was AI, pathfinding, LOS issues and realistic terrain in there. I took the announcement at face value. An all new Theatre of War Unit Gallery has just been added to the website. View over 200 different tanks, armored cars, anti-tank guns, self propelled guns and more from the 6 different nations featured in the game.

Denwad Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Panzerfaust 150 was used in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Denwad, According to Gander's FIELD ROCKET EQUIPMENT OF THE GERMAN ARMY 1939-1945, page 58, though some 100,000 units were produced by April 1945, "few, if any, reached the field." Thus including the Panzerfaust 150 is an extremely marginal call, especially if it means leaving something more commonly used out as a consequence. This makes the Panzerfaust 100 the last model known for sure to have been used in combat. Production for it began November 1944.

Welcome to the world of the grogs. This is what happens. Eventually you learn to live with it. People can't exactly worry about the stuff you listed, because they can't play the game yet. So they have the screenshots to look at and worry about them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnersman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 There are alot of things left out. You would think if they modeled each variant of the Sherman, from the caste hull to the welded hull, that there would be other common units that were modeled as well. I still think this is just a temporary thing. But what is REALLY important is the demo. How the AI handles the situation it is presented with, uses the terrain etc etc. The eye candy is there. That is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl Carrot Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Surprised no one has mentioned a lack of a Vickers or a M2. Then again I did not do a search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hofbauer Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Kettler is right. only a few examples of the PzF 150 had been delivered for an initial troop trial. dont do the PzF 150. you'ld be closer to reality even with modeling the Luftfaust-B. to quote the famous Captain S.: BTS plz fix or do sumfink !!

jim crowley Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There are no HMGs in ToW, for some reason, therefore no Vickers (although classified as "medium" by UK). The Bren has an incorrect straight magazine; it should be curved. And the Boys AT rifle is still showing up as an American weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmath Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 ... and we can see american soldiers using the Boys at 6th june 1944 in some screenshots ... :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus86 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There are no HMGs in ToW. How can you explain the screenshots showing HMGs or the HMG button in the unit selection? Stop posting about these things, if you don't have an idea or don't know it for sure. You are just alienateing possible buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
