[lockie]

There are some new screens.
Unfortunately, there are no device to control engine overheating.


My gunner is on guard
   

General on the board!

[frinik]

Good work merging both sets of uniforms and having a General. Where's the vodka???General Frinikenko is very particular about his need for a proletarian comfort Hem medication.....

I 've been wondering about the aviation blue uniform of the US tank crews in game. Did they ever wear blue uniforms?

Did they ever wear blue uniforms?

Yes, especially when they were out of humor

Whukid, nice pictures!  8)

[lockie]

Found a free model of US soldier. Perhaps, this texture will suit as alternative uniform for the driver.

[whukid]

That's perfect! APC drivers wore infantry uniforms anyway. only the tankers wore the jumpsuits

Looks fine, but I don't know when I'll be ready to transfer this texture in the game. Would be interesting to place a model  8)

Where Eagles Dare (1968)


Allied agents stage a daring raid on a castle where the Nazis are holding an American General prisoner... but that's not all that's really going on.

Director: Brian G. Hutton
Writers: Alistair MacLean (story), Alistair MacLean (screenplay)

It was only balance `1` and I didn't even manage to pick up general
Conclusion - DON`T BE IN HURRY!
Wait until infantry and armor will make a main job.
            

PS
The song of the mission victory will be - `Long Tall Sally` by Little Richard!

That's what I call action! Clint Eastwood shoot from both MP38   8)

The mission is abt to be finished.
But there are a couple questions. As u know, friends, I make only one mission with a new stuff, coz it's interesting and bring a new breath to the game. Anyway, wat du u think, if I'll make a couple missions devoted to the same performance?  I mean current mission will be played with a dif. units:
- M3(halftrack) original
- M4A3 (give support to M3)
- M-26 (give support to M3)
- M-36 (give support to M3)
***
- Pz-IF (repel enemy attack)
- Pz-IVB (repel enemy attack)
So, finally there will be 6 missions instead one: four for the USA and two for the GRM.
What du u think?

PS
And there are some screens:

Pz-IVB .....

Hopefully you mean Panzer VI Ausf B??


  I mean current mission will be played with a dif. units:

Yeah why not keep the same scenario and just give the players the chance to play the mission from may be another starting position with another vehicle.

[lockie]

Pz-IVB .....
Hopefully you mean Panzer VI Ausf B??

Yes, I meant TigerII

Yeah why not keep the same scenario and just give the players the chance to play the mission from may be another starting position with another vehicle.

Exactly, it would be a very pity, if so great scenario, quotations, interesting work of triggers will be used only for one mission. So, I'll make three missions instead one. Two for the american side (M3, M26) and one for the german (PzVIB). And user will get possibility easily replace the unit under his control on any other.

[frinik]

Yes the Tiger II which is its informal name .... But you called it Pz-IV B instead of VI B.

BTW the Tiger II is a wimp in SF; both penetration values set in the common res and the armour-strength values in the tech_cfg files are understated to say the least.

Exactly. Tiger II is a fiction name, but the most commonly used.

My tiger2 has:
    armor_qual   =   1.0;
   armor_frail   =   0.3;
   armor_str   =   2050;

PS
Pay attention on this picture, there are only two passengers - general and captain. All other three soldiers jumped out when apc was under fire. It is a very interested effect! I didn't expect it. I thought all passengers should had been jumped out.

[frinik]

That's agreat improvement over the original values which were in SP 2.0 : arm_qual: 0.7 arm_frail 0.5 and arm_strength was set : 2000 only.

The own values I use are arm_qual : 0.9  arm_frail : 0.4 and arm_strength 2100. I may try your own values and see how it wokrs out. I 've increased the penetration value of the pzgr 39/43 shell from 0.93 to 0.98 and the HE from 0.2 to 0.35 .Mind you I did the same with the JS-2 from 0.97 to 1.02 and the HE from 0.45 to 0.55 .Likewise for the Jagdtiger AP = 1.05 and HE to 0.55.

It's my personal adjustments, I don't know what the parameters in SPM2.0

The own values I use are arm_qual : 0.9  arm_frail : 0.4 and arm_strength 2100. I may try your own values and see how it wokrs out.

I'm pretty sure that er parameters more stronger.

It's too complicate for me

It's too complicate for me ...

Lockie the fearless, serial mission maker and great provider of new models, maps etc daunted by a mere change of values which are 5 minutes of work???

No. I've changed the shell parameters only one time, when made a mission `Kolobanov firearm`.
I've made a distance 1500m for the gun of the Pz38(t), instead default 1000m.
All other cases had place only after a long consultations and a final decision was adopted by other person

PS
There was another case for the shell BT-5
