rip31st 98 Posted May 1, 2009 Hi. I just want to say, on behalf of the hundreds of people I am sure who play this mod and don't post, that I, and I'm sure we all, appreciate the time and and effort put into this mod for our enjoyment. I watch this thread all the time and anxiously drool at the new improvements made by the team and only today decided I should throw my voice in to thank you for your effort.That and I can't wait for the next installment! 4 more days, am I correct?:D Thx for the kind words. 4 more days...ugh! lol. We bit off a bit more then we could chew. That's my fault. So no. I would say its still about two months out. We've added A LOT more then we thought we would. Patience is a virtue.

oldbear 390 Posted May 2, 2009 I will wait a bit after the 4 days, if more days are needed for I can measure the incredible improvement from the 1st post and my first test on the map. You are doing a tremendous job for the map and the units, thanks for all ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUDOLF 9 Posted May 3, 2009 Yeah, it's hard work of making a Mod. Maybe two more months still not enough. Just think in OFP time, we have to wait for some Mods for years. So just for WW2 games, I still have to play in OFP of which lots of things have completed and don't need to wait anxiously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metsapeikkoo 10 Posted May 12, 2009 Little bit offtopic questions, but does the tiger have realistic turret rotation speed? What about the armor values? Will the sherman be able to blow it up with just two shots from the front? (Also, Ripest. You're insane. This mod is insane. And you should feel damn good about it. Keep up the good work.)

The Masta 0 Posted May 12, 2009 2 months you say? Looks like ArmA2 will have to keep me busy untill this monster is released. Keep up the good work:cool:. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aqu 0 Posted May 13, 2009 I think the tanks should be more comparable to real life now. Armor values are not defined in ArmA1 so that it would be easy to compare them to the real life. You have compare them to the gun effectiveness in the game so to balance that you have to do lot of shooting. Little bit offtopic questions, but does the tiger have realistic turret rotation speed?

rip31st 98 Posted May 14, 2009 Here's some updated pics of Caen, currently working on the city a bit adding some touches, moving stuff around. I know last go around the AI had a hard time driving up and down the tight roads. Gonna try to make it a bit more free for ai in town. There's a bit more foilage, walls, fences, bushes, trees, etc. Give it a bit more complete feeling then a barren desert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfbics 17 Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks! Are you going to make more videos? Not sure mate, kind of on a long break from videos at the mo, the one I made with your original release stuff has gone as vimeo deleted my account, there's still one youtube though. Have you thought about trying to get one of the dedicated Arma movie makers to do you a proper promo vid with all the animations and stuff for what you have coming up as really it looks like a Major league mod.:) Edited May 14, 2009 by wolfbics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rip31st 98 Posted May 14, 2009 I have some people out there that have offered. ArmaVidz is doing one. Some studio over in Australia. Couple other guys. Here is M2 60mm WIP: (thx Aqu) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aqu 0 Posted May 15, 2009 I would like to wait and see if ArmA2 gives a better system. That's why I'm not very interested in some partially working hack for ArmA1 before that.

rip31st 98 Posted May 15, 2009 June 26th comes. Then its a question of converting everything for ArmA2. A task I may or may not be looking forward to. But nevertheless it will get done. There will be compatible versions for both ArmA and ArmA2. I promised one of the guys that went away to Iraq that he would have a fresh WW2 mod on his plate when he get's back. I intend to keep that promise. He was worried we would be playing it while he was gone and by the time he get's back it would be old news. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case, I'm afraid we have to wait another two-year time for some real addons of ARMAII.

T_Roc 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Not the promised shermans, but they are getting closer. Only small uppdate on german stuff this time the workhorse of the german panzer arm the pz4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GD Mast 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Wow...wonderful detail on the Panzer IV's. :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Binkowski 26 Posted May 16, 2009 Great to see this mod progressing so well, Pz4's have excellent detail, as well as the M2 mortar. Keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aqu 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Great Pz-Ivs. Is that "Drahtgeflecht" schurzen in the first pic? Never seen it on top of the plate schurzen...which of course doesn't prove anything. Also...you have a four man crew...when I tryed that (driver, commander and 2xgunner) it made the armory mode hang up (if having more than 1 gunner). Of course great if that works.

T_Roc 0 Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) The mesh skirts was instead of the usal ones mainly to preserve metal and was on the late pz4 ausf J. In this last model of the pz4 the turret traverse engine was removed for the benefit of larger fuel tanks. This was made when germany was desperatly short on fuel :rolleyes: The four man crew with working bowmg is no problem att all, took a lot of testing to get it to work but it was worth it.

RUDOLF 9 Posted May 17, 2009 Tiger, Panther A, PZVI J and etc. T-Roc, it seems you've made a very impressive armor vehicles for Normandy Battle! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aqu 0 Posted May 17, 2009 The mesh skirts was instead of the usal ones mainly to preserve metal and was on the late pz4 ausf J. yep, but my point was that I haven't seen it been used together with the normal (early) versions schurzen. Maybe it's the pic but to me it looks like it is hanging on top of the normal schurzen. Anyway, they look good. In this last model of the pz4 the turret traverse engine was removed for the benefit of larger fuel tanks. This was made when germany was desperatly short on fuel :rolleyes: That sounds bit like the marketing words which were used with the new Civic Type-R which sucked compared to the older version. My theory: They were also short on ball bearings -> remove the turret engine + add a new fuel tank + marketing -> everybody will be happy (except the guy turning the turret) :D The four man crew with working bowmg is no problem att all, took a lot of testing to get it to work but it was worth it. I see. I got it working nicely too (driver,gunner,commander,loader(gunner) in StuG), except when I tryed the "scene" mode in the armory (where AI drives it around), it made my game freeze. I suppose the game couldn't figure out the crew system. I didn't want to risk it so removed the 4th guy. Too bad as it was the only place where I had problems :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
