RAF planes in a Russian vs. German game. Hilarious. A british bomber has lost his head for the right course

.I've done away with the PZgr40 for 2 reasons, after mid 1943 due to shortage of wolfram(tungsten) and manganese they were reserved for the PaK crews and seondly in game they are useless .Too light they don't do any damage.
That's what I was telling you Tanker.That's why i remo9ved them form the German tanks ammo complement.I replace them with the equivalent in straight AP. Because they are too light their either bounce or seem to go straight through without making any damage. That's one issue with Steel Fury the objects are too light.
On the other hand the HE shells of the KV are very effective against light armoured panzers like the Panzer IIIs and IVs.And the kV series is about the only series of Soviet tanks that carry a shell complement comparable to the German ones. I remeber playing the stock Gusarovka mission with the KV-1 and I finsished it with 19 German tanks and apcs destroyed and over 100 infantry killed mostly using HE shells.

Hi lockie, Have tried the patch for Unnamed Hill and it seems to work great. I was able to withstand the German onslaught, advance and help capture the village in my trusty KV-1 The only problem I noticed is my KV-1 (and I do believe the others tanks also) seem to be lacking any markings (slogans or national emblems). I do recall before the patch my KV-1 had no national emblems but did have a slogan on the turret . Cheers

Panzer faust it's very easy to solve.Go to the KV-1 tech_cfg file Open it and check the following entry:
mslots() { //Fragment, Marking, Size, Rotation, Displacement slog, s_mark_rturr_b, , 1.1, 0, 0.015; slog, s_mark_lturr_b, , 1.1, 0, 0.01; rhomb, s_mark_rturr_b, , 1.2, 0, 0.015; rhomb, s_mark_lturr_b, , 1.2, 0, 0.01; mark, s_mark_rturr_m, , 1.0, 0, 0.01; mark, s_mark_lturr_m, , 1.0, 0, 0.01; num, s_num_xx, s_num_rf, 1.5, 0, 0.01; num, s_num_xx, s_num_lf, 1.5, 0, 0.01; } }
If it's got 2 slash // bars ahead of the slog, entries just delete them , save and exit the file and your slogans will be back.

Thanks ol'buddy there was two // in front of the first slog entry but no // in front of any of the others. I fired up Unnamed Hill and my KV-1 now had one red star on the right turret face (none on the left). Looked at the entry again (just rechecking) and fired the mission up again. This time my KV-1 had no markings whatsoever again but the other KV-1 had a slogan on it. So are markings/slogans and if you do or don't get them on your tank really that random? Also one other question comrade, I noticed your KV-1 tech_cfg mslots entries had a lot of different entries and numerical values then whats in my KV-1 tech_cfg mslots file, is this a frinik special homebrew Cheers

Included in all updates to SPM 1.5 For example: s_mark_rturr_b = right turret marking, back s_mark_lturr_b = left turret marking, back s_mark_rturr_m = right turret marking, middle s_mark_lturr_m = left turret marking, middle rhomb = the geometric shape with the unit number mark = the national marking slog = the patriotic slogan num = tank turret number

Ahhhh I see Kyth, so lockies mission pack could have changed these values (unintentionally?) from what was upgraded in the SPM 1.5 UU because of these older missions in the new NTA? Can I change these values back? My RU tanks look naked without markings Cheers

Have tried the patch for Unnamed Hill and it seems to work great. Good news, then I'll include this fix into mission pack and re-upload it! The only problem I noticed is my KV-1 (and I do believe the others tanks also) seem to be lacking any markings (slogans or national emblems). I do recall before the patch my KV-1 had no national emblems but did have a slogan on the turret . I didn't change any, except some tweaks in script.

No, I did change nothing in cfg files of KV-1, exceprt I re-enabled KV-1(rounded turret). from what was upgraded in the SPM 1.5 UU because of these older missions in the new NTA? Can I change these values back? My RU tanks look naked without markings I think, only Kyth can help us in this case

(By the way, I didn't change those probabilities, they're the originals.) Historically speaking, I hope you don't think there was some sort of slogan over every Soviet tank. Majority of early-war tanks had no markings whatsoever.

Panzi it happens to me all the time, every time there's a new mod my markings just disappear and I have to re-enable them.No idea why.Some files being over written I guess.One simple tip once you have a tech_cfg file which contains all the markingd and chnages that you have made and like just save it into a folder and thus you can use as back-up.

Thanks for all the help guys. Sorry lockie wasn't trying to imply you or anyone was doing something nefarious, just wondered if something crept in unintentionally . Your absolutly spot on Kyth, I did read somewhere long ago that slogans and even national markings were many times not present on Russian armor due to mass production/high losses in the field. Same goes for paint jobs as many Russian tanks got a coat of whatever was available at the plant doing the manufacturing, if it was close enough to mil spec on it went. Wonder why we have not seen a tractor green skin yet? Good ideal frinik will have to do this. It's partly my fault as I never pay attention to the JSGME screen when it states xxxx files wants to overwrite xxxx files Cheers

Speaking of paint job I wonder if soembody could come up with a better paint colour camo for the Soviet trophy Tiger I?Something along the line of the T-44 mixed olive green and bright green camo perhaps...

Where was model taken from and who made it? I think, that all tigers models were taken from SPM UU. Same crap as it was before But with one moment, all tigers were adjusted to have a new inner interior.

The tiger models were all introduced by me, from newest to oldest. 2 of them (the plain yellow and late tiger) currently have historically correct models. The "SS tiger" has the outdated model, textured by Maleshkin (not bad from afar but strange looking in some places if you look close). And the trophy tiger is some of the earliest shit ever.

Did you model thme from scratched or where thye intended for other games like some of the vehicles we have were made for Achtung Panzer etc.
I never understood exactly why is Maleshkin's model called SS?The SS Tiger units did not have nay special or different Tigers as far as I know?
