Google P-1000 Ratte and select images - there is a lot out here

Currently it's Battery �rlandet museum, near Trondheim, but the turret isn't from Ratte, it's Caesar turret from Gniesenau with three 280's. Still, the turret should look the same

I actually did a Battery �rlandet icon, and when I was done with it, I went...

"Hey, won't this work with Ratte? All I need to do is delete the center gun!"

Mark, you are a bit off with your dimensions there, its much larger than that.

I was actually going with SPCAMO hex-widths = 50m; e.g, this thing is BIG enough to actually be correct scale for the 50m hexes.

Gotcha Mark.....It needs scaled down any ways....LOL. I am working on it in the normal scale for giggles. Should have it done tomorrow.

Well here is the monster in scale with a Panther, Pz IVf1, Bergepanther, & Jadgpanther

Crazy big....no way this monster will be in game.. to scale.

You sir, are an artistic god; you make my pathetic attempts pale in comparison.

WOW! Well thank you Mark.

That isn't what I am trying to do. I do it to have accurate representations for the community, that might not know all details and can learn from them.

Keep on trying or perhaps we can put our heads together and discuss new techniques to advance our efforts. I didn't get to that way over night...lol.

Well, just now one realisez how HUGE would that 35-meter-long �berpanzer be

And cannot imagine better bomb and rocket target, the dimensions would make hitting it signifcantly easier

BTW did push it through my makeshift size calculator and it gave me size 71

Do you have the turret and chassis as separate game scale bmps?

oragus · #9 November 24th, 2007, 12:34 PM

Yep, you honestly want them to put it in game? You do realize its almost half the entire game screen long?

What's the problem? The Danuta armoured train is only 14 hexes long at vehicle scale....

I was thinking about using Pyros' movement system for a Russian player vs Ratte AI scenario. I could reverse engineer what you already posted but it would be easier to have the separate bits.
