New Unit; Tiger 1 (Green camo)

Well, eventualy I will redo the tiger, but not till the Play the world WWII units pack comes out, I want to redo the unit a bit anyway, the turret was a bitt too far forward, and the unit overall needs its height lowering. I guess it will have to wait till the new units are out, so I can do a size comparison, and then make a special "Easternfront tiger" as I had originaly planned.
 
Just an alternative idea for this. I have 7 unique German tanks so I thought this excellent tank could be put to better use elsewhere rather than becoming extinct before making it to Germany's front line.

By coincidence this tank resembles the modern french AMX30.

So why not make this France's modern tank?
 
This is an awsome unit, however there is a problem with it.
There is no proper default animation. the one that is called default is the same for fidget and fortify. it is ok for fortify and fidget but it is really bothersome in default function. you leave a Tiger on map and if you have more of them all you can see in a game is their turets moving left, right. it puts a great strain on your eyes. it is the only reason i cannot use this unit in game.
However T34 and T55 are really spotless. Please give me more units like that. how about panther and leopard tank. T72 or T80.

also your unit, i think it is called mechanized infantry, the one unit with soldiers in a truck is excellent however by default it has a large red star, so again i cannot use it. any chance of removing that star please?

Your stuka and harrier jet are also great. But again i do not use them because i do not like run animation. they just turn around. any chance of making them fly straight, like jet fighter?

Keep up the good work
 
I guess you can't please everyone...
:)
 
I think I did do a default flic for the tiger tank, I'll have a look and see if I can find it....
With the Mobile infantry, The five pointed star is a military sign used by several nations in different colours- if you set the civ colour to white for example, you have an american Truck, set it to green and you can't see the star at all.
With the harrier Just change the INI file, Delete the text next to the RUN entry and replace it with the text next to the DEFAULT entry- and there you have it, a harrier that just flies straight.
 
New modifications; Desert camo and winter camo

I've Been tring something that I sugested for the battlemech scenario- using a colour swap to make specific colour schemes. In this case a desert camoflaged tiger tank and a Winter camoflage tiger.
The tiger was used most extensivly on the east front and in the deffence of germany towards the end of the war.
One of the things that lead to the downfall of nazi germany was thier failure to equip their troops and tanks for the russian winter, waht I'd like to do is have a different version of each tank for a different combat arena, using regional terrain (such as a rusian terrrain) that has a movement penalty. The properly equiped unit would be able to cross the terrain without penalty (like the mongol Keshik), giving it much better combat capabilities.
Idealy I'd like to have a camo version for all the WWII tanks I want to use, but I can't do it for the PTW units.

Anyway, whatever you want to use them for, thery are flexible, and feature a new default animation with less movement (see the first post to get the same animation in the standard colours).

Here is a low quality preview of the eastern tiger;

Here are the files, they don't include a INI file, but I think every one knows how to make one :)

Ost front tiger

Desert Tiger

Several tigers did make it to the battle in north africa, and has been noted in several CIV II WWII scenarios, one of the easiest ways to win as the germans is by puting off the attack on russia and concentrating on the war for north africa, So now people will be able to find out if that is true.

Here is a preview of the desert camo tiger, be aware that Ive used a flic to gif converter to save time when making the preview, so its not the best quality, the real unit is much nicer;

Excellent unit! I'we been waiting for this since the beginning!

I really want to know how do you mass-produce those units?!? I would gladly create my own units, as I know I got the "talent" (patience) of making graphics. What I don't know, however, is what programs you are using, and how do you get those units ready so fast!
Is there any forums of this issue?
 
My one problem with your mod is the turret location and size on that Tiger 1 as well as the height of the whole chasis. Shouldn't the turret be in the middle of the chasis? Also shouldn't the chasis be a tad lower than it is? Lastly...shouldn't the turret be a tad smaller than the chasis width?

See what I mean?

Sorry but your Tiger really doesn't look like this to my eyes. I might be wrong since the animation is small but it surely doesn't look like the real Tiger 1

Great to see you back Smokingmirror, and with such a great tank at that!:D
Great job.... :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

What's going to be your next tank project?

If you would, could you check my posts in the unit request threads?

French WWII tanks!!!

I posted a few pics of WWII era French tanks, they would fill a gap in the French lineup - and despite the fact that the French lost to the Germans in 1940, they really had tanks that were superior to the German Panzers!

I would love it if you could make these French tanks somewhere down the line.
 
Uhoh, yeah I just noticed that myself, Yoda...
 
I do admit that I am impressed with the current work on this tiger mod but I still don't agree with the dimensions on it. The chasis is just not as wide as should be and the turret is a tad too close to front and the chasis is a tad higher than it should be. If this Tiger were to be "stetched" out a bit it could look more like the real thing. To me this Tiger mod looks smooshed inwards a tad. It's still a pretty unit but the dimensions are off a bit. Could you fix this smoking mirror?

This work isn't "current", it's very, very old (prehistoric I should say) ;)
