Always good! Say thanks to him!

Yes, usually it goes great, but not this time. Polygon was made very quickly and without attentions to the houses. Anyway, it's better then nothing

Hi Hemi! Long time no hear! You can use babelfish or Google translate. Me I woyld simply guess what lines to add or what to do by simply reading the line about what filr needs modifying because it's wriitten in latin characters in the read me. Onne word of caution, many of Deviator's missions onvolve new maps so I recommend that you install the maps in your game. His maps are excellent! Cheers!

That beind it would be good if somebody on the Russian-Ukrainian side would provide briefs instructions of the missions rwad me in English....

Could anyone provide us with a translated/working Cyrillic readme? Having a bit of trouble installing it and my Notepad isn't displaying the symbols correctly, so it would seem that I'm a bit stuck here.

The txt files are in ASCII format, so you need a font like 'ER Kurier' to view the cyrillic text properly.

On the other hand, if you want to get the Russian translated to English, I've written a little bit about how it's done:

Mission for the Marder II sdkfz 132 is impossible, coz spg doesn't has a gunsight. So, u need to make the next fix. File ...\data\k42\loc_rus\levels\levels\tech_cfg\marder_2_132.engcfg
replace original code with next:

Code:

	sights()
	{
		
		sig_driver, 	s_camera_driver, 	marder_2_132_cap, 	0.0;
		
		gunner_priz, 	s_camera_gunner_01,	sflzf_ferdinand, 	0.0, sig_gunner;
		gunner_prib1, 	s_camera_gunner_02, marder_2_132_cap, 	0.0, sig_gunner;
		gunner_prib2, 	s_camera_gunner_03, marder_2_132_cap, 	0.0, sig_gunner;
		
		loader_prib, 	s_camera_loader_02, marder_2_132_cap, 	0.0, sig_loader;
		
//		sig_loader, 	s_camera_loader_01, def_commander, 		0.0;
		sig_loader, 	s_camera_loader_01, def_biker, 			0.0, sig_loader;
		
		sig_radist, 	s_camera_radist, 	marder_2_132_cap, 	0.0;

	}

	hatchs()
	{

		//группа, имя чанка, угол открывания, количество положений, текущее положение

		gunner_prib2, 	d_pribor_03,		 61.7, 1, 0;
		loader_prib, 	d_pribor_02,		-70.4, 1, 0;
		//gunner, 		d_baraban_b,	    341.053, 18, 0, -1, ;

Can anybody confirm that KV-1s can't shoot from the machine gun at the next places:
- mgunner
- commander

[frinik]

I have played it a couplef times.I didn't notice any problems with the various MGs.
BTW what happened to the KV-1e model with the rounded turret that we had prior to the Ultimate mod? It has disappeared Instead the model we have now has the rectangular turret of the older models with the appliqué on the sides?

it's strange, coz nor my mgunner neither loader/commander can't shoot from the MG

I guess that somebody who has authorization for the SPM UU removed KV-1e(with the rounded turret) without any notification to users and any discussion about it.

[kapulA]

Thanks for the tips Kyth & lockie!

[frinik]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM let me guess; it's Mistwalker????Well if it's him I don't mind asking him the question as to why????There were at least 7 to 8 variants of the KV-1 and it would be fun to have them all in SF.

Re the KV-1S I'll test it my tonight and I'll let you know if I have similar problems...

[Kyth]

Say, I'm going off on a tangent here, 

Does anyone have any historical pictures and references for a KV-1e with a curved (cast) turret?
All the material I have points to the rectangular (welded) turret for this variant.

Same for me, i have never seen a KV-1e with a cast turret, KV-1e was produced during 1940 and KV:s had welded turrets by that time i think, im not so into KV:s so i can be very wrong thou Because in -41 they did other improvements instead so no need for the bolted on extra armor, and that includes the new cast turret.

[lockie]

That's why I prefer only manual installation.

[frinik]

Kyth I remember seeing the rounded turret on a website dedicated to the various KV models.Let me search for it!

Ok I couldn't find the exact website that I read but I found another one:http://ww2armor.jexiste.fr/Files/Allies/Allies/1-Vehicles/USSR/4-HeavyTanks/KV-1/2-Design.htm

in which in the last paragraph it clearly says that the KV-1s 1942 model had a round turret:

The armament of the turret was supplemented by two machine-guns of 7.62 mm DT. The first was assembled coaxialy to the gun of 76.2 mm, whereas the second was assembled on ball mount to the back of the turret. Still let us note that on the level forms, the turrets of various versions of the KV-1 were angular except for that of KV-1s which was of round form.

Here's naother webpage with pics of various KV-1 models and you can clearly see the rounded turret:http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Soviet+Kv-1+Tank&qpvt=various+KV-1+tanks&FORM=RESTAB#x0y510

[lockie]

I've a couple questions:
1. Does anyone have any historical pictures or other info that M4A3-76 was in the RKKA?
2. Does anyone have any historical pictures or other info that T-44 took part in the battle of WWII??

[frinik]

Everything I tread about the T-44 is that none of the 325 tanks produced ever saw action on the front.The Red Army decided in September 1944 that the T34-85 was sufficinet and they saw no need to introduce a new tank which did not offer substantial advantages over the T34 and would require additional training for crews and technical staff.

Re the M4A3-76 I found this bilingual French-English webpage which indicates that that tank was used by the Red Army and there's even a pic of one with Soviet soldiers sitting on top.The article says that the US provided the Soviet Army wiht that model.

I was asking about the KV-1E with the applique armour bolted on. I don't have any pictures or sources for a KV-1E using the rounded cast turret.

1. Does anyone have any historical pictures or other info that M4A3-76 was in the RKKA?

Doubtful. The Lend-lease Shermans to the USSR were the M4A2 variant (with twin GM 6-71 diesel engines). Later versions of the M4A2 had the 76mm gun.

[lockie]

Doubtful. The Lend-lease Shermans to the USSR were the M4A2 variant (with twin GM 6-71 diesel engines). Later versions of the M4A2 had the 76mm gun.

That's why I wonder what was the reason to include M4A3-76 in the RKKA. In fact, this tank was never delivered to the USSR.

Everything I tread about the T-44 is that none of the 325 tanks produced ever saw action on the front.

Thus, this tank should be removed from the patch. As it was done in SPM1.5 NTA1.4.

The article says that the US provided the Soviet Army wiht that model.

Would u be pleased to give me a citation from the article?

Comparing the 2 variants:
The main difference was the engines (diesel vs gasoline).
The external differences between the M4A2 and M4A3 were actually quite minor:
- Engine deck grilles
- The angle of the plates in the hull rear.
