A link for anyone who wish to be a tester of this mod. SPM 1.5 + Ultimate Update + December 2012 UU patch - all in one.
As the name implies, this is not the final version. Suggestions about what should be added and what should be removed in the final version will be appreciated.
You may encounter some bugs for now so be aware.
Download Steel Panzer Mod 2.0 (test version)Will not work with any Ultimate Update patches and fixes and Ultimate Update itself (not needed).
Will work with sound mods, weather mods and mission packs.
A few things from ‘November Update 2012’ (English version) v.1.1(NTA) are missing:1.Non-drum sights for German SPGs, wide-open hatches on tiger and KV-1S (features were not available on the real vehicles).
2.Updated texture for the early Tiger (texture messed up).
