Mission: Sieg oder Tod/Defend the Fatherland (part II)

[woofiedog]

Must give a big hand to all that have labored producing this Sieg oder Tod mission. Thank's!

This is a mission that has you looking around to see if your still here on planet earth afterwards, if you survive that long. But not to give away the endding to this mission, but bringing along a good kevlar helmet and flack jacket would be very handy! 

A couple of screens...

A couple of screens...

I think smth. wrong with Panther gunsight. It should look like this.

[woofiedog]

I run with 1980x1080 aspect and have applied the widescreen fix, but still do not have the full sights as in your screenshot.

'I run with 1980x1080 aspect and have applied the widescreen fix, but still do not have the full sights as in your screenshot.'

Correction, found my problem, I did not add the fix. Now I'm back in business again. 

[lockie]

Now I'm back in business again. 

Now it looks much better!

And here is a screenshot before mission will start. On the picture all fort-buildings has a tactic mark as `pillbox`, but it looks a very strange. So, we decided to change it for smth. different, i.e. let it be `triangle`, some kind of the`observation point`.

Good work everyone involved! And i just checked my 3dsmax backup, and the last change i made on the buildings was almost exactly two years ago (2012-02-24)
Its soo very good to se my idea and prototype buildings finally get to life! I thank you so much!

[lockie]

5 balance is tough enough.
          

[will1973]

I've held on successfully mission at the balance 5 from the 10th attempt. I had to reduce the firing angle for IL-2, because it shoot at me almost at 45 degrees

First I go through the station to the left flank and hit all the tanks of the opponent and then killing those who got through the right flank.

[lockie]

Finally, I've managed to finish mission successfully at the balance `5`:)
It's a very interesting, coz each times a new situation. Suppose this is because of the big area where battle has a place. Bat there is a VERY HUGE minus - my FPS was no more then 12    
Well, it's possible to play however, but lugs doesn't bring a pleasure. Anyway, it works and a new feelings of the game are guaranteed  8)
               

PS
And that was a first-time when I managed to play as commander! As it appeared, there was a magic key "~", by pressing it - the barrel goes to the course of the tank(center of the commander's view).

[lockie]

Today, friends, let's start with a new mission for the soviet side! This is from the T-34/85 views.
      

PS
Well, actually when I see on these pictures (which I made by myself during testing), I think to myself - this is a great game! (inspite it has more then six years). So, what the reason - do not continue on work with this game - I just don't understand. There are so much potential, so much innovations, so much abilities to play with a map and... nothing to be continued

[woofiedog]

Game play FPS of the Sieg oder Tod have been right around 20-23 during the heavy fighting, with the lowest FPS in between 17-19.

Still have not survived a full mission quite yet... but was real close to gunning down one of those IL-2. 

 

[LSM]

Lockie! I sight the Panthers as a comrade Woofiedog, and you have another. Why so?

Because he is out of business ... again 

[LSM]

Loсkiе sight "Panther"

[woofiedog]

Hope no one is expecting a going out of business sale... as my trusty Panther crew has made proper adjustments and we are back into the fight and in business. LoL

Do u still try alpha version of the mission? If so, then I recommend u a final variant from the MP3.3c. It's more easy and variable.

was real close to gunning down one of those IL-2. 

Still can't figure out how to get rid off the IL-2. They makes me crazy and really got me by their barking sound of the shooting
BTW
U've a choice to shot the planes, but if u replace a default ones on the other with 1LOD.

PS

It wasn't a lucky day for me
The game didn't define, which tank hited me. As we can see it was undercaliber shell and it didn't even  penetrate through the armour, but killed 4 members of the crew.
Perhaps, this happened, coz I added 50gramm of explosive to the Panther`s undercaliber shell
And that was balance "3", enemy 2 exp., allies 4 exp.
Pay attention to the FPS (During mission it was 7-10). I've Athlon 6000+(3.1Ghz)
And here's a backimage for the mission: Destroy the Fatherland!(T-34/85)

Great song!

[woofiedog]

Do u still try alpha version of the mission?

Yes, still using alpha mission, really want to survive at least one full mission. Almost did... but a T-34 worked in behind me at the last minute and that was it, game over.  LoL 

They makes me crazy and really got me by their barking sound of the shooting.

They are very persistent bugger's, wish our wing men in IL-2 FB were so dedicated! LoL

Will give "Destroy the Fatherland!(T-34/85)" a try, look's like another pressing and desperate mission. Wicked!  8)
