SPM1.5 necessary update discussion.

[lockie]

1). Ambient sounds: like hearing birds chirping when theres a armored slug fest is going on, plus would you even hear this buttoned up in a tank?

It's possible to fix that, the way is simple - just replace the content of appropriate sound file(birds) on the silence. Will it suit? All other suggestions are improvements and some completely at the SF developers decision.

ps
There're some skins by Maleshkin, which weren't included into SPM1.5.

Actually, the in-game Panther skin is one of the better ones.
I'm sad to say, all the other German dark-yellow and camouflage skins in SPM 1.5 aren't very good 
With the exception of the Panther and Jagdpanther.

  Try ShoCK3waVe Panzer VI enhancement pack the camo for the Tiger is really nice.If you want I can send you the mod through a zip file.Just paste it into your mods folder and enable through the JSGME.It only overwrites the striped black and grey stock skin of the Tiger I and the stock sound of the MG34 gives it a better sound.

The skin of the Tiger II ain't too bad ....

[lockie]

Perhaps, we may see a new LUCHS(2).  The model is ready and has config file, but armor map is absent and there're some texture glitches.

[frinik]

  What's wrong with the one already in the game( except for its Hem  exceptional robustness...)?.It's really a lovely small tank and a real improvement over the Panzer IIC.They found too many mistakes in the current model?

The current model is OK, imo. As I told - perhaps it'd be included.

Regarding the Luchs' current model in SPM 1.5, the skin is awful, because they copied and pasted some image from a picture-book as the .dds file.

And what's er suggestion?

Also I'd like to know how many soldiers were in crew of MG-34? As my point there're only two, but no four or five.
And what about to create a DOT for the soviet troops?

My suggestion (hopefully a constructive one) is for the makers of any 3-D tank model to release the UV-unwrapped graphic file as a skin template.
This is a common thing for flight-sims, and will gain the services of many talented people whose expertise is in skinning.

Also I'd like to know how many soldiers were in crew of MG-34? As my point there're only two, but no four or five.

I think 3 or 4 seems likely, just my guess, 

[frinik]

   The MG42s were manned by teams of 2 men, gunner and ammo loader.While the MG34s were heavier and were usually manned by 3 men whenever possible( it weighed 49 kgs without the ammo

[lockie]

OK, four soldiers for MG-34 is enough
And I think there should be a job for the Brumbar - soviet DOT, which will be armed vs MG-34 and four soviet soldiers(kinda a trophy).

[frinik]

  What about adding to the short list of German trophy tanks? The T60, T26, T34/85(admittedly few were captured),KV1 .Since we have Finnish captured tanks we could use them as German ones by changing the skins?

[lockie]

  What about adding to the short list of German trophy tanks?

Well, it's possible, but some1 should create an appropriate textures for the tanks.

[norm]

I realy like the new three-color skin for the t-34R.

[frinik]

  The Finnish one?Yes it's cool! 8)

[lockie]

Т34 already included as a trophy.

[norm]

  The Finnish one?Yes it's cool! 8)

no, the german one, it was updated in the last steel panzer. were not done with the Finnish t-34/85 and we are going to release three skins for it.
also, would it be posible to make a version of the house and shed with infantry at the windows? That could be a good brumbar job, its fun to blast houses away with it in the test mission.

Well thats kind of the problem lockie I don't want to eliminate the ambient sounds totally. I do like the immersion of hearing birds chirping and such before the battle starts. I was wondering if it was somehow possible to have these sounds start/stop on an event trigger?

[Kyth]

You don't find the bird noises calming and relaxing? 

Or do you just want to shoot them 

[frinik]

 I just love it when they chirp at night.Too bad we don't have crickets too
