Aha, was looking at the home page earlier, hadn't been updated yet.

That's some nice looking work.

Am I the only one that notices these things? They're in the shadow so they're all black, but the sherman, despite being in a smoke cloud/fog bank, is pretty clear and decently lit. Interesting effect.

I noticed, and the first question was "smoke" or "ground fog". Ground fog would fundamentally change the way air-to-ground works; no longer are we in perpetual summer with unlimited visibility. GVs can hide, ground attack aircraft will no longer be able to pull up 10' off the deck...

I also noticed the trestle bridge, the windmill, and the P39 off in the distance. Could be a GREAT update.

I don't see any aircraft.

Also, we could have trestle bridges now. I'm sure I've seen them in at least one terrain. It depends on the map maker though, and their use of custom objects.

Can I kill a tiger tank with this model sherman.?

Krusty · « **Reply #37 on:** March 21, 2007, 05:11:31 PM »

From 1000 yards it should be able to kill a tiger through the frontal armor, if I recall reading another thread (there's one in the aircraft and vehicles forum)

Krusty, How could you miss that P-39?

Ah, but is there going to be APDS (Armor Peircing Discarding Sabot) ammo to go with the 17 Pdr?

Would be nice to have a few rnds, maybe for say 10 perkies you get 10 rnds or something, with the rest regular AP and HE ammo, and smoke of course.

Krusty, I don't think that's a lighting change. It looks like something common in video games, where a white translucent sprite will highlight rather than mask what's behind it.
It happens in AH too, when you look through the gunsight glass at night.
