    Beautiful work by you guys, especially like your work Freelancer on the desert Panzer III. Hopefully your next release will nicely compliment the latest work by Iron Front.

     

    Freelancer, if you ever run out of inspiration, I'd love to see someday a Cast hull Sherman in desert colours. It's an iconic looking tank for the North African campaign, for some reason the Cast hull Sherman's always seem to get overlooked modeling wise compared to the Welded hull - maybe harder to model?

     

    Thanks for all your continuing work!

    Love the Crusader AA in the olive drab, talking of which would it be possible to tweak the green of the (very nice!) new Cromwell to be a bit closer to the green of the Crusader? I couldn't help noticing the difference between the two, although it's entirely understandable if two different artists have been working on them.

     

    Great work by you guys on all the new stuff, I hope we get a chance to see it in all it's glory sometime in high res. I'd be glad to pay for it.

     

    Recently been reading "Monty's Marauders: The 4th and 8th Armoured Brigades" which includes quite a bit of Crusader action, including the eccentric Major Alec Gatehouse, who used to strap an armchair to the top of his Crusader for a better view of the battlefield! Lol...

    Wow, what a nice surprise. Thank you lots for the early Xmas present guys.

     

    Only had chance for a quick look before I turn in for the night but I noticed something funky is going on with the (very nice) Cromwell's cannon, the model seems to

    somehow have both the standard 75mm barrel and the short barrelled 95mm close support howitzer morphed into the same model!!!

     

    Thanks again guys!

    Very nice looking Bren Carrier there guys, congratulations to Lodu!

     

    Talking of tracked vehicles, have you guys considered adopting the Cromwell tanks from the CSA38 mod into your mod?

    I've noticed a few people recently saying they would like some British armour, but they don't really want to download the

    entire CSA38 mod just for the Cromwell's. I remember Petr from CSA38 saying a while back he would be open to them

    being used for other mods with his permission.

    Very nice looking Pegasus Bridge there El Tyranos. Maybe it could be released in memory to Lieutenant Den Brotheridge of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire

    Light Infantry (airborne) who it's believed was the first allied soldier to die on the morning of 6th of June (approx 20 minutes past midnight).

     

    "Brotheridge was shot down by a German machine gunner while leading the charge of D Company on Pegasus Bridge, a mission

    vital to the D-Day landings in Normandy. He is remembered as the first Allied soldier and British officer killed in action on D-Day."

     

    I'm sorry we seem to have squandered their legacy...

    Hi Action,

     

    Here are some interviews with Polar Bear veterans. Who knows, some of them might have served alongside your Grandfather - if he's still alive please thank him for me.

    Thank you lots for the update guys! I hope you didn't all forget Mother's day in getting this to us...

     

    For anyone that wants some hardware to go with the Brits - there are some very nice Cromwell's and a Firefly in the CSA38 and Iron Front mods respectively.

     

    :eyeheart:

     

    The Mk2 helmet is a lot, lot better now, good work! Although is it just me or is the Red Devil's beret a bit on the pink side?large_000000.jpg?action=d&cat=photograph

    Just to clarify, the Sherman's you can see above are the U.S. 76mm gunned Sherman's and both models are still excellent. The British Sherman's however are a couple of gaming generations behind those

    in Poly count and accuracy - the wheels for example are octagons, and the turrets, and gun on the 75mm Sherman are quite misshapen compared to the Iron Front model which is more accurate.

     

    Again I want to stress, when Marcel made the above mentioned tanks (ofp, ArmA1 days?) they were excellent, excellent quality.

    Dear fellow soliders, we are very excited and honored to make this announcement:

     

    GuyThomas and canukausiuka from the Invasion 44 team have entrusted us with the legacy of I44 mod project to have their work ported to ArmA 3. This is no longer limted to the terrains but expands to all assets and features created by I44!

     

    After a extensive analysis we have established a list of assets that we consider has being higher priority. Those assets are mostly vehicles that are not already in IFA3, at a higher quality standard, and that complete the gameplay and mission possibilities. Therefore, you will soon be able to utilize new tanks and armoured cars. The first release will focus on US Vehicles as this is the least equipped faction. This release will contain M3 and M5 Stuart tanks, M3A4 76 and HVSS Shermans, M4A4 Firefly VC Sherman and M8 Greyhound.

    Due to the huge chunk of work required to port as much asset and fast as possible, and not wanting this to impact IFA3 developpement itself, we send out a call to arms to motivated and dedicated people to assist us on this journey! So if you enjoy WW2 and modding, have some experience, you are most welcome to contact us.

     

    If I can make a humble suggestion, seeing as the models for the British Sherman's in I44 are showing their age a bit (they were awesome when first created about ten yrs ago) could you not transplant the gun barrel from the Firefly into the base Iron Front M4A4 - seeing as it is a much more detailed and newer model - that way it standardises everything a bit better.

     

    I know the history buffs might say it's not historically the correct version of Sherman that was lend-leased to the British - but even so, it's a much better model...

     

    Great to see I44 getting another lease of life through you guys!

    IFA3  tanks KO.. slow response AI. CSA38 tanks made attack qucik and at distance, but IFA3  escape  away. Panzer IV H AP ammo its rather as HE. :D .. Panther unresponsive, panzer IV H run :D and only Tiger attack, i am him mus destroy with 3 cromwells. 

     

    Petr, have you tried the mods below to improve the tank on tank action? They might cure the "unresponsive" problem.

    Faust @ Feb. 17 2009,09:32)]Yes, we plan to create any allied vehicles of course. We are allready working on Crusader MkII, and later we want to create Sherman M4A4.

    My Grandfather's brother was a radio operator in Crusader's in N. Africa, then in Sherman's later on in the war in Italy - so I'd love to see both of these tanks from you in the quality of your Panther Mk. III

    Great work, please dont give up.

    I'm wondering, could I expect better performance with this patch on my PC?

    Just the other day I uninstalled ArmA after experiencing poor results with my new rig. On Rahmadi, with just me and the seagulls I was lucky to reach 27fps at 1680x1050 (xp) with view distance about 3/4 up the slider. I thought, oh well, my new PC's just too good for ArmA.

    To be specific:

    Core i7 940.

    Radeon 4870 X2 2GB.

    6 gigs DDR3 memory.

    Well, I've just reinstalled the game and patched it, now I'm getting peaks of 60fps and lows of 15fps. The lows of 15fps are when I face certain vegetation in the game.

    Bouncing tanks seem to be back, in the editor I had one T72 bounce up to around a hundred meters.
