Re: WinSPMBT \"Das Reich\" (OOB MOD.)
 

The thread has been reformated. All of you who want the current stuff that is 100% done and dusted go to the first post in this thread and download the attachment. You will find a lot of good stuff in there but none of the tanks (heavies) from Germany as I am still not 100% happy with them. I also kept back some APCs and Armoured cars for later releases in conjunction with the latest batch of new tank icons.

Also you will be happy to know that work on my principle German OOB (OOB 35) has now come to an end. Work on 44 continues but now that 35 is finished the other Imperial OOBs will be quick to follow. 35 is the template OOB after all.

Re: WinSPMBT \"Das Reich\" (OOB MOD.)
 

Here is the update. It changes the Heavy Armour icons (which, for now at least, are complete), adds in the Coelian and makes a nice big Russian transport plane available.

Observant forum users will have noticed that this post has yet again been edited. What that means is that I have changed the Heavy tank icons again (this time only the Kaisertiger turrets and the little Tiger III MBTs) and added in a Bergetiger IIIB (with a nice 28mm gun, a crane and an enclosed Casemate).

Re: WinSPMBT \"Das Reich\" (OOB MOD.)
 

For a long while now one thing in particular has bothered me about the West German units I am using. The ATGM Panzers (Racketen-Jagdpanzers I and II and the Jaguars). On a recent search on the web for information on them I discovered some fine photographs and set to work developing some new icons (in grey I am afraid).

The Mk. I is guess work (it is based on the HS30 chasis (at least that is what I read).

The Mk. II is based off of the Kanone-Jagdpanzer 90 (without extra armour).

Finally the Jaguar, is just the regular icon, but this time in grey. Colours are uniform so if you want them green just use the original icons for the HS30, KanJgdpz. and Jaguar as a colour template.

I will probably make some winter and desert schemes and some camo. Camo if it is wanted by anyone else. I personally am after a different feel so if you want some camo you need to let me know.

Re: WinSPMBT \"Das Reich\" (OOB MOD.)
 

Just so I'm clear on this, there isn't a usable in-game post-ww2 OOB for all this incredible sounding stuff, right? I have to be a pessimist about this, it sounds like something I've been looking for ever since Steel Panthers 1 first came out.

Re: WinSPMBT \"Das Reich\" (OOB MOD.)
 

Panzer Bob is working on one for the Germans in Winspww2. He is re-doing a lot of it. But you might still like to take a look. Mine is still in development.

Re: WinSPMBT \"Das Reich\" (OOB MOD.)
 

Just a quick update, I'm still plugging at it.

Re: WinSPMBT \"Das Reich\" (OOB MOD.)
 

With the arrival of the new patch, I will have to update my version of the game. I have saved all the files etc so this should not slow development down too much. As usual I spoke too soon. Development ground to a halt as I realised that I had all of a sudden run out of space for new units. I have swapped a couple of things around and now I can finally begin OOB comparison work (for the Marines etc)again.

Re: WinSPMBT "Das Reich" (OOB MOD.)
 

Has this mod died? I haven't heard about it in ages.

Re: WinSPMBT "Das Reich" (OOB MOD.)
 

No, not at all. I am in the process of finalising the German (Reich) OOBs. New Assault rifles, new icons and of course updates regarding the nw patches. If you like, once I have completed the German OOB to my satisfaction you can have the OOB (along with associated files) to test. Feedback is absolutely necessary.

I am glad you are following its development. I can PM you some of the new icons if you like.

Re: WinSPMBT "Das Reich" (OOB MOD.)
 

Certainly, I wouldn't mind testing out the OOBs, and to see how it's progressed. I'm glad this mod hasn't died, it's one of only two mods I keep track of (the other being the Cold War 2020 mod)
