stealth Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) I would love to see snipers with selectable camo ( diferents types of ghillie camo and camo rifles also). Is there a mod or something similar to this? Edit: Already exists!! (not selectable camo but exist). Anyway, exist any mod for snipers?

hoggydog Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Ok this is my current wishlist. The CR2 model to be to be finished including the FC system. The Chieftan to be a playable vehicle. An FV432 T-64 playable. And for pie in the sky wishes, T34/85 and T-10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 With the proliferation of vehicle specific keys, perhaps producing more of the Keyboard Reference Charts? While I don't think you need one per vehicle type there maybe utility in producing maybe 5 or 6 or so? This would let a player print them all off and put on the top of the stack the one they were going to use for a given session. This would increase the number of PDFs (they could be in a single multi page bundle), but avoid the alternative of trying to have one sheet with every keyboard short-cut for every vehicle crammed onto it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikingo Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Now that we have the TAM tank (btw great model) and other (local for me) units please can we have Argentina [AR] in the list of countries? Or maybe is actually there Thanks! 👍 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe is just add the [AR] in a single line of code and the TAMs can have the country attached I know it should not be that easy Edited July 12, 2019 by Vikingo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceptually they need to be handled through the Mission Editor. That said, I'm all for making it easier to handle a larger number of unoccupied cars. With inert cars as map objects, the load on the game engine would be easier, no LOS calcs. Also scrapped / long abandoned cars (Broken / Green Windows, Wheels missing etc) would add immersion.

You can group say a Supply Truck, ARV, AMB and Refueller as one composite group, issue one set of orders and they'll all react to it. Once you have selected the group route, the individual unit routes will be plotted and you can then fine tune them to avoid any issues. Ooo Ctrl + 1 , Nice.

They said that about the T-72, once upon a time. Now we have 7! M A/M1 B B ERA B1 B1 ERA M4 @Volcano they sound awesome. (I take a moment to listen to the idle when i'm in the range.)

I made a joke about getting the Tiger I as a model...But in all seriousness I would *LOVE* for someone to develop a WW2 era tank sim based on the ProPE engine, and would gladly plunk down another $125 for a copy of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a WWII version is highly unlikely And has been discussed previously I feel that the T34/85 and T10 along with possibly older early cold wat veteran vehicles are a good idea both for historical and modern asymmetrical warfare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is no right or wrong way to play SB but I do believe that if you stick to all the modern Gucci stuff you are missing out on a lot of fun. The T-55 is one of my favourite vehicles in SB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reference is about to trigger the heck out of someone lol I think the reason why people hate the T-55 and such is that it's basically a step BACKWARDS from the pinnacle of WW2 era gunnery. I swear I have always had an easier time with Zeiss style optics than that Soviet made garbage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the T-55, I doubt very much that you'll embrace the T-34/85. Quite apart from the very clear previous direction that eSim isn't interested in a Second World War version.

Indeed esim have been very clear about WWII but a number of tanks from the war had a service life long after the war was finished. T34/85 and M4 being the obvious ones. From the Arab Israeli wars to Yugoslavia I think there could still be a place for these vehicles in a modern tank simulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yhea I didn't mean that one, I meant the Panzer3/4/5/6 etc. Somehow I always found the Zeiss gunsights easy to use and quite effective when they were simulated properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yes I know. What I'm saying is that the T-34/85 optics are worse than the T-55s and people already have very strong opinions about the T-55's. If they don't like the T-55, they'll hate the T-34. The Panzer optics are a totally different issue and even more unlikely to be modelled since very few lasted beyond 1945 (yes I know about French Panthers and Syrian Panzer IVs) compared to other nation's Second World War vehicle fleets used in Korea as well as numerous other "small wars". Anyway is a very unlikely wish to be realised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted July 17, 2019 Members Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm not saying that it would never happen - Supershermans and IS-2s would be an obvious combination with historic potential - but our priorities are in other areas, and there's always cascading effects. "Supershermans? But in Battle X they were confronted with PzIVs! We need them!" "Can't do Egyptian IS-2s without T-34/85s!" "What, no M3 halftracks?" "Well... now that you have M3s, adding SdKfz 251 wouldn't be such a big effort, right? Right?" "Period firearms! Can't have the Israelis without Uzis!" Of course, since a line must be drawn somewhere, it could just as well be drawn with the Supershermans. But we all know, it wouldn't feel right. And that means that the request for a Supersherman actually is a request for a whole group of vehicles and equipment fitting the 1948...1968 time period. And let's not even start with map data. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
