I've increased the oak size on 50% and added a third type of the oak Wink Here we are:


PS
Unfortunately, stupid AI doesn't want to shoot from MG of the turret Sad There is possibility to make another version for the AI only and assign commander/loader to shoot from MG.
So, there will be two version:
1. for user, where he can shoot from turret MG
2. for AI, where commander may shoot from turret MG

Apparently not. There were unconfirmed rumours about a couple being used of the defence of Berlin but since no wreck has ever been found. Likewise there were rumours that some IS/JS3s were used but it' probably untrue and has never been confirmed by the Soviets.... Germany was in such a state of chaos by mid March 1945 that tank/weapons production all but stopped..

The trees look good but it's hard to concentrate on them, with the IS-3 in the picture! Looking forward to killing some German big cats in this, when a mission is made for them. Did they really have that camouflage? Reminds me of the original Steel Beasts!

I'm pretty sure, that no anyone `Panther F` weren't produced. That's why in the mission will be two experimental `Panther F`, which had enhanced hull from the `Panther G` and Schmalturm. These two Panthers were made in reality and were under testing. Suppose, they took part in the battle, when `testing fire ground` was captured by Soviet troops. Anyway, everyone feel free to replace in the mission `Panther F` on `Panther G` or whatever. Same with JS-3.

A couple words abt JS-3. As it appeared, idiotic AI gunner still didn't want to shoot from the MG mounted in the gun mask. That's why I had created a special units for the AI.
Where:
- AI gunner may shoot only from the gun
- AI loader may shoot from the gun mask MG

And there will be standard units for the user's use. Under user's command will be JS-3(AI).

Here we're:
//IS-3 for USER
   txt_tn_is3()         {Heavy tank JS-3 ;}
   txt_med_htang10a_rkka()      { 1x JS-3(user use); }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10b_rkka()   { 2х JS-3(user use); }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10c_rkka()   { 3х JS-3(user use); }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10d_rkka()   { 3х JS-3(user use) + infantry; }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10e_rkka()   { 2х JS-3(user use) + infantry; }
//IS-3 for AI
   txt_med_js3ai_rkka()      { 1x JS-3(AI use); }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10f_rkka()   { 2х JS-3(AI use); }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10g_rkka()   { 3х JS-3(AI use); }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10h_rkka()   { 3х JS-3(AI use) + infantry; }
   txt_med_platoon_htang10i_rkka()   { 2х JS-3(AI use) + infantry; }

I think, that the same could be applied to JS-2.

I think they did. Check the T-44 it also has the same camo. The Soviets learned quite a bit from the Germans about the virtues of camouflage...

our mission received the new oak type – “Oak #03”. It looks bigger, wider with more leaves to compare with “Oak #01”. As we can see oak is small to compare with poplar. So, I think the size of the oak should be increased on 20%

Really excellent work with the new oak trees.  Smiley

Found this info about the IS tanks paint schemes.

http://books.google.com/books?id=K13He9byW0cC&pg=PA81&lpg=PA81&dq=is-3+tank+paint+schemes&source=bl&ots=m4P95PiwfQ&sig=USs6sLk7gXAl62PI0CeVfp469G4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=1saAU6HqEYWwyASGsYDIBw&ved=0CEAQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=is-3%20tank%20paint%20schemes&f=false

Quote... [Modelling the IS Heavy Tank] Some IS tanks were painted with intruicate three or fourcolour camouflage schemes.

Also that new IS-3 is a beast, extremely mint work.

There! Made mall corrections; you're good to go Lockie! Wink
It occurred to my mind that would be good to add note, that German tanks were short of petrol. That's why they had to pour off all petrol from other tanks to that three. And it was the reason why only 3 tanks took part in the battle. Will it be possible to add such note?
Tell me - YES! Smiley

Got it! Thanks!

And it's time to implement a chestnut tree. In my town Kyiv there were many on the central street Khreshchatyk...

OK, let's see some samples:

Excellent work Lockie! This is great idea to improve the rather limited flora of SF.It may look like small potatoes for some but in reality it's a very good initiative! Smiley

Thanks Frinik! I'm also will try to implement linden instead larch, coz larch looks quite unusual for me and may be for the next mission I'll take field maple.

That will be for the next missions.
Meanwhile chestnut is ready. Model still needs to be adjusted, but for the first try it's OK.


28.05.2014
The color of the texture was a bit changed and the whole tree size increased twice.

Couldn't help myself to put in the game a new object - typical austrian boat. Oars had been already taken by soviet soldiers as trophy.

I think SF has enough new techniks, well may be British side needs some. I'd like to concentrate on the small objects such as trees, gates, houses, lamps etc, which brings to the game more immersion/atmosphere. Imagine how will look mission for the M5A1(Dust in the wind) without new desert houses, palms, gates.

Some screenshots from the polygon:
1. Boats with already stolen oars. The spring was very dry.

2. Bridge was not built yet, but it looks promising

3. In the depths of the oak wood

4. wood with a new pine #2

5. Soviet defence line with trenches

6. Inside chestnut grove

7. the whole view of the map

8. Base of the town
