Wwiiec - churchill pack released

[lukemax 0]

Well it's here, another addition to your British WWII units! John finished the tank. Anyway, Vibes checked it over and cleared it for release so here it is, the British Churchill Mark II and Mark III with custom interiors and a quality piece of work from John. It requires the WWIIEC British Pack for the tank crews but you can mess around with an empty version if you don't have it. Get it here:

Why the american star on the tank? I dont think americans ever used it did they?

[coporal_punishment 0]

I really don't know whether this tank was used by yankees, but wasn't this tank designed to draw the enemy fire towards it, but the model looks awsome.

thinking about, why are British Crew driving a British tanks with American Markings

[Thud_and_Blunder 0]

The white star was used on vehicles in 1944 in the same way as Allied aircraft all had the black-and-white stripes applied (and all allied vehicles in Iraq 1991 and 2003 had the inverted black chevron) - as unmistakeable identifiers to friendly forces.  The stars normally were placed to be clearly visible from the air, as Allied taxi-rank fighter-bombers took advantage of battlefield air supremacy to hunt for ground targets.

I manage to get it and... Wouah, great work John, a continuously improving piece-of-art

I have two problems about this marvellous addon :

First, my OFP told me MKGUN2_S1 was missing. In the cpp, I wondering if something isn't missing in the class CfgWeapons and in the mod VII's class CfgVehicles ammunitions !?!

The churchill VII & VIII (95mm)'s cpp shows us :

armor=106*ECAHTankArmorModifier ; //(80mm + 2x69mm + 50mm)/4

The second point is :

Churchill I (2 Pdr gun) Armor : Front/89-101mm, Side/76-89mm, Rear/64-89mm

Churchill IV (6 Pdr gun) Armor: Front/89-101mm, Side/76-89mm, Rear/64-89mm

Churchill VII (75mm gun) Armor : Front/140-152mm, Side/57-95mm, Rear/50-95mm

Churchill VIII : as model VII

So, to be correct, Churchill VII & VIII armor should be raised.

In any case, I like this heavy stuff

The markings are correct (assuming the tank is post D-day)

Any chance of a flame version of this tank (there was one as far as I know)

[cegorach 0]

I second the request for a flamethrower version - I lost a few hours of my life today trying to create one and I now bow out in favour of someone who actually HAS talent to make one

The Churchill Crocodile had a flamethrower firing from the hull MG position. The fuel for the weapon was carried on a trailer.

Maybe a bit hard to model convincingly within OFP.

[cegorach 0]

The trailer would be possible with a fair bit of effort, but to actually get the flamer in game (which is what everybody wants I guess) would possibly be best done by having a useraction that launches a flame (such as the Red Devils flamer) from the hull position and uses a script etc for damage. I've tried doing it myself but I'm not up on user actions etc.

WILL THE MAKERS PLEASE ADDRESS THE ISSUE PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS ADDON

Sorry about the caps but this needs to be addressed.

Your addon is causing an error message when people launch the game.

its giving a cannot cfg. weapons config/weapons/MKGUN1_S2

Your not answering anyone over at ofp.info who have had this error (including me) and now your not answering anyone here.

No readme in the zip and now this. Bad Form.

Do you have the earlier Churchhill tank that they released along with the Daimler armored car? I have that in the same addon directory and haven't had any problems with any errors. It could be that the missing machine gun is in the older churchill tank addon.

This is the first churchill i ever downloaded. But if it requires an older one to work it should have been stated in the readme that was not included in the file.

All the more reason for addon makers to make sure they include at the very least a readme with the addon.

[Soldier8Boy 0]

Not everyone likes to reply as it's annoying when people that don't make addons get right rude and picky. I'm not making anything anymore because of the flak I got over a friggin beta.

Maybe if people chilled out and realised it was a game, the owners would reply. But everyone loves to be bitches, so what can I say?

[pzvg 0]

What? you mean like your team's less than cordial treatment of people trying to make addons based on yours?

Before casting stones, put on a helmet,

while you guys do excellent work, I think you need a community relations specialist to handle that aspect.

<and of course some foks complain about your addons, it's the internet, you were expecting flowers?>

[miles teg 1]

I agree. Soldier8Boy is pissed because some people didn't like his map. BIG DEAL. Not everyone is going to like an addon or map and people will ALWAYS ask you to add things or remove things. You can't please everyone and people will complain. As I stated on his map thread, there are plenty of other good WWII addon and WWII map makers outside of WWIIEC. So if he wants to quit and cry about everyone was so mean to him, he's not going to get much sympathy.

With that said I thought his map was fine for a beta and I also thought that most people on the thread liked his map and I didn't see ANYONE being especially rude or anything. Nobody called his map crap. The worst was that somebody said his map was low quality but that it was to be expected from a beta. Just one person's opinion.

But back to this tank. Somebody stated a bug, and nobody from WWIIEC has answered what might be causing it. I had no problem with it. However those that did have problems with it were not complaining. They were just reporting bugs. That's what is supposed to happen when beta's are released. This section of the forum is a perfect place for that.

To Soldier8Boy, don't take negative comments about your map so personal. I hope that the bugs with the Churchill tank will be sorted out soon! To John (whoever that is) keep up the good work on this Churchill tank. Hopefully the bugs some people are having with it can be worked out.

nah, it's not that. it's my email boxes being filled with friggin hate mail so that i wasn't get emails from my friends who can only get ahold of me that way since my cell got stolen.

tends to get irratating.

[miles teg 1]

Hate mail??? Ack! That is bad. I'm sorry I didn't know you were getting lots of people emailing you nasty things. That is not good. I hope it is not people from this forum because most of the regulars here are nice people.

If people are very ugly in their emails, I recommend that you just put them in your killfile/ignore list so that you don't get any emails from them again. Those kind of people are not worth bothering with and I can understand why you feel like not making any more addons for people like that. But most of us in the OFP community really appreciate addon makers.

For people angry because of other reasons, (like if they're not allowed to modify your team's addons) then try to be civil with them and try not to get ugly with them or they will get ugly back.

Anyways, I hope WWIIEC will continue its good work and back to this tank, I hope John will look into the possible bugs on this Churchill tank. I suspect that it needs the old version to work properly.

Sorry for digging out this old thread, but i decided to

send my OFP troopers into ww2 aswell now, and so i

found my way into the same error message, where it

says: missing cfg. weapons config/weapons/MKGUN1_S2

Now as i could read in this thread (:note - it's the only one

in this forum where to find that error-message), it can

be fixed by installing the older churchill too.

There goes my problem, as i cannot find the old churchill

anywhere. I've been looking at John's/ofp.info/ofpnews/opflashoint.org/all_the_ww2_sites

and some more.

Could anybody plz gimmie a link to the older churchill, so that

i can get rid of the error messy?
