Panther A/G mod

[Mistwalker]

Are we talking about getting the Tiger I model with the small conning tower version rather than the one with the taller,protruding one which we have in the game?

You mean commander's cupola? Yes, im talking about that. It also has zimmerit coating and different wheels and doesn't have Feifel air filters - look at TvT game. Those tigers were used in 44.

BTW Mistwalker I compared both versions of the JS-2 that we had in SP 1.4 ( 1943model)and now in Beta 1.5(1944 model) and it looks to me that they are identical, no difference whatsoever???

Well, it was just a mistake. Only a few early JS-2 produced in the end of 1943/beginning 44 called "1943 mod". Just forget about both models  and use the model from NTA 1.4. It has corrected turret,  front hull, etc.

Also the KV-1 e and the Churchill are inordinately strong.It takes upwards of 15 to 25 high calibre shots to kill them!Is it the case that the armour maps need reworking?

Maybe, but I cant say for sure because I didn't work with those models. I have another KV-1E model though, historically correct, but I won't upload it, don't ask why. So if someone desperately needs it, adress me privately.

Finally one last point or question: The magnification of the SU-100 gunsight issurprisingly high.Is it as per historical data?

Don't know, SU-100 isn't mine too and I'm not too interested in it. Better ask lockie.

[frinik]

Thanks for the answers! yes the one in NTA 1.4 is better than the other versions and especially more resilient.Hopefully it wll be included in SP mod 1.6?

I was just curious because the 1944 models in Beta 1.5 sounded like a repackaged version of the 1943 version.

Re the SU-100 I know it's not yours but I wondered if you had tried it and noticed how strong the magnification is.May be too strong in fact???

Cheers

Yep, it's true. In fact magnification should be "4", but in the game it is "8". My fault, but I won't to fix it
I may send u a source files, if u ready to fix.

[frinik]

Uh I am willing to fix it but how do I go about it?Otherwise I could do it in the common res file by changing the res there in the sights paragraph no?

Yes, it's possible.
Change the next line
//SU-100
tsh19,tsh19a,tsh19b,,,cross,2,12,4,4,2,0,0,1,true,0xc0202020,0x60402020,0x20e0d080,4,false,3,-0.3,0,-0.06,0.06,0,1.8,true,false,0,0,0;

or

[frinik]

Thanks Lockie!That's what I figured since I already did it for the Jagdpanther.I reduced the magnification by half for better aiming.

[lockie]

Does it look like PzV A?
   

[frinik]

Yes it does!The camo on the model on the left though looks definitely not German more American or Sov????Is this supposed to be the new Panther Ausf G?

[lockie]

Yes it does!

Than OK. Hope to release it before new year.

The camo on the model on the left though looks definitely not German more American or Sov?

Yes, a soviet trophy and I'm not sure there will be a german unit.

Is this supposed to be the new Panther Ausf G?

Not now, and as I know u already have one

[Mistwalker]

German version, correct one, mod. early 44:

Can u please, make a picture vs a frontal driver hatch(in open position) as close as possible?
At this moment a trophy PzV A doesn't has a glass armor at the driver hatch.
And also, is it possible to make infra-red vision in the game?

[frinik]

Would the IR be usable in the mod or simply decorative.There are contentions as to whether the IR devices were actually used in battle.Any chance we could have a cool camo like the original and banned Panther G?

I wouldn't mind attempting a 3-colour camo pattern, I'm steadily climbing the learning curve here,

But it'll take a lot of time to do.

[frinik]

That'd be super we 'll call it Panther K

Like this?



Fast and crude but we can always try a better one.

That's all I have unfortunatelly.




There's driver's hole, protected by glass block, but it can't be seen on the photos.

[frinik]

Well Mistwalker if this is crude and fast I can't wait for the final product!!!!Yes definitely on the right track!Hopefully the armour will be thicker than the D model as I think the G had 100mm front armour?

[Kyth]

[Fast and crude but we can always try a better one. 

I'd be aiming for something a little more captivating 



But it'll take quite a long time to do,

[Mistwalker]

No, leave that to Kyth or someone else.    All that's left for me is to do four missions for new the vehicles and then there will be a release of my new and probably the last big update.

Hopefully the armour will be thicker than the D model as I think the G had 100mm front armour?

Armor for D and A modifications is the same. G modification has 50 mm hull side armor (D and A have 40 mm), but at 30-degree angle (D and A at 40-degree).

I'd be aiming for something a little more captivating

Need updated texture?

[Kyth]

Yes, thanks,

[frinik]

Why the last?Are we running out of new vehicles to introduce?Or do you mean you will only focus on limited releases?

The Panther G did not have thicker front armour as well?
