wildo 0 Posted December 13, 2005 i agree with hunter, that tank is WAY to small! whn i made one years ago i think it had something like 20ish people in it?! Wildo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harley 3 1185 0 Posted December 13, 2005 I'm no addonmaker but scaling it shouldn't be too much of a problem there. I for one can't judge the size effectively just from that screenshot (I would never make a good Gunner like my Grandpa ). Conors, you may take a substantive captaincy if you so desire . I'll give your Cambrai campaign a read now. Those german things surely were monsters - no wonder they only built a dozen of them - must have had a platoon running the damn things .

harley 3 1185 0 Posted December 13, 2005 If the damn thing's had actually been able to make it to the starting line and accompany the troops, I know i sure would have run from them.

JdB 151 Posted December 13, 2005 i think it had something like 20ish people in it?! It had a crew of 16 if I recall correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinkansen 0 Posted December 14, 2005 Hi, the A7V has the following dimensions 7.35m long, 3.06 meter width and 3.30 meter high. There is some confusion about the crew. For unknown reason some sources said, that each MG has two men crew, that is a little bit too much, there are two for the gun, one driver, one commander, 6 mg-gunner, one machinist and one loader, making it a crew of 12, sources that count two mg gunners said 18 but tis is too much. Dimensions were taken from the well made EMHAR model kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Combat Chaplain 0 Posted December 14, 2005 My book on German WWI tanks confirms that length for the A7V... And given the perspective of that screenshot (tank well in the background) I'm not worried about the size just yet. I AM, though, really happy not only that we're getting the A7V, but getting one that looks so good! And I've long wanted a sim that featured operational WWI armor. The closest I've come so far are those in the WWI mod for Fighter Squadron: Screamin' Demons Over Europe. OFP will be a MUCH better home. Shinkansen's done his homework, so count me among those who're eagerly anticipating this release! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harley 3 1185 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Nyah we have some propaganda. Â i.e. I got slaughtered in my Sopwith Strutter and watched my flight get torn to pieces by a "Circus" of Albatros over Anjou. All aircraft by Shinkansen, and Conor will probably be posting a pile of individual aircraft pictures in full quality! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinkansen 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Hi, nice picture! The Strutter (1916) is no real match for the Albatros C.XV (1918), I think I should model a really late war british fighter, maybe Sopwith Dolphin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harley 3 1185 0 Posted December 24, 2005 ATM TyphoonSG1 has taken the Operation Somme Forums down for some Christmas maintenance. Â On the Christmas-ty note; Ho ho ho. Â Merry Christmas to everyone! Â May your interest in this mod remain strong as the mod grows. EDIT: That's supposed to be a blizzard in the piccy, except it looks like a North Sea fog!
