SPM1.5 necessary update discussion.

[frinik]

  There's the panzerschreck in the game not the panzerfaust!

The Panzer III L with the short 75 mm gun?Good choice.It was used in Kursk.

I'd like also to see the Panzer IIIJ with Schuerzen and please another Panzer IV G/J or H.The Stug IV and one of the Jagdpanzers IV(Panzer IV) would be nice.

A Churchill for the Soviets, a M3Lee, A Sherman, the SU76 and 176 would ne ncie too but it's lots of work and these guys have already done a lot for SF.

More quibbling from me - that looks like the Panzer IIIN, which had the short 75mm L/24.

Agreed - Panzer III L or M, and Panzer IVG or H; with the schuerzen, would be more representative of the Kursk battles.

[frinik]

Kyth you are right it's the Panzer IIIN( always been bad with the alphabet ever since kindergarten...

[norm]

would it be posible to make the schuerzen panels be randomly missing? They fell off all the time, and it would look best to have different ones damaged or missing.

[lockie]

Well, it's possible to randomize - will stug has a schuerzen or not, at the very beginning of mission.
But if stug'll be initialized by the game vs schuerzen, they will stay to the mission end. As I know, it's impossible to take off schuerzen upon shell influence at the current moment.

[Kyth]

It would be good to have the schuerzen, which was quite a prominent feature for that period,

[frinik]

  Not to mention they gave Stugs, Panzer IIIs and IVs a nice, distinctive looks

Hey, I have a bit of problem with the marder II 313, I can put in range, but I cant seem to find a gun-site view.

[lockie]

There's English translation by Txema, how to use Marder II gunsight.

[norm]

hum, I don't have a gunsite view in the early version, but I do in the late, any ideas? re-download and install this pack?

[lockie]

hum, I don't have a gunsite view in the early version...

Just checked it out and early version had gunsight.

[norm]

sorry, got them mixed up then, its the other, taller one, the 312? I think, with the gun on a pillar above the middle of the vehicle, and the loader's machine gun. I cant look through the gun-sight in that vehicle.

[lockie]

sorry, got them mixed up then, its the other, taller one, the 312?

312!? There's NO such one.
There're:
- Sd.Kfz 132 "Marder II" - in editor: marder_2_132
- Sd.Kfz 131 "Marder II"(early) - in editor: marder_2_131_early
- Sd.Kfz 131 "Marder II"(late) - marder_2_131_late
and
Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf. H "Marder III" - in editor: mspn7

To be more detailed, just've a look vs a file "SPM1.5 NTA 1.1_units.text" and "SPM1.5_units.text".

[norm]

yes, the 132, there we go, mis typed.

[lockie]

yes, the 132, there we go, mis typed.

If u've read English translation and still have a bug vs gunsight out. I'd suppose, that smth wrong vs installation NTA1.3.

[lockie]

I've a problem vs "top" gunsight T-70. Don't know how to aiming. That's why I changed it on the "pt1_t35", which was adjusted by me to T-35. Now, there's no problem to shoot aim at the distance up to 1km.

To do that, u've to make the next changes. Open file:
...Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942\data\k42\loc_rus\levels\levels\tech_cfg\t70.engcfg
 block sights()

{
sig_driver, s_camera_driver_01, mk4g, 0.0, sig_driver, d_sight_01;
sig_gunner, s_camera_gunner_01, top, 0.0, sig_gunner,;
sig_gunner, s_camera_comhead, mk4_t70, 0.0, sig_gunner, d_sight_02;
}

change the line


{
sig_driver, s_camera_driver_01, mk4g, 0.0, sig_driver, d_sight_01;
sig_gunner, s_camera_gunner_01, pt1_t35, 0.0, sig_gunner,;
sig_gunner, s_camera_comhead, mk4_t70, 0.0, sig_gunner, d_sight_02;
}

[lockie]

Pardon, what  du u mean "optional"? All mods are optional, it depends only the user desire - install them or not, imho.
