Das Reich -BETA TEST
Hiya folks,
Great work! - A few points (most small niggles) from looking over the OoBs, etc.
Please do not take any of this as criticism - just my thoughts.
I have a version of cross' sound mod - I will dig deeper to find the sounds you added.
General
1. LBMs - Great job finding some of these! however seeing black borders on some is distracting, perhaps artificially enlarge the pic with white space.
2. Having both OoBs called Germany can be a little confusing (I know you are limited in characters). Following on from this; both having the same flag can cause confusion - perhaps use a variant flag for the second OoB. This becomes especially apparent if anyone (like a mad beta tester) fights one Vs the other!
3. I persume that the many duplicated units are to allow each OoB to stand alone for a campaign? If they were only ever to be used in battles & scenarios then this is superfluous.
OOB 35
1. Unit #1 "Title" - make class = 216 "No Unit". Put in dates of country and LBM of flag. This is for consistancy across other OOBs and is a good way to give info to players - If it has correct country number and No unit class it will appear in Encyclopaedia (allows info on country) but will NOT appear as a unit in purchase screens.
2. Weapon #111 "13,2cm FlMG-131" - I believe this is a typo or its a VERY big MG (1,32 cm or 13,2mm ?)
3. Icon #8246, 8247, 8248 Ju-132B - Have a black line at bottom of icon (not tested in game, yet)
4. Icon # 8167 Me.262 HGIII-1k - White pixels below icon, visible in game
5. PpPz Leopard (everyones favourite cancelled tank!) Units # 225, 227, 228 - (If germany saw no need for it in '42/'43 why would they resurrect it in 47? - That said its in my fantasy extended reich OOB
) I would question its armour values however.
12 seems high for 50mm armour (and sides seem low). From the research I did, drawings and using the SP armour calc program I came up with a couple of options:
a) Using less armour but slope to acheive equivalence with PzKw II J armour (8,5,5,8,5,5,3)
b) from what little info does exist I got = 8,4,3,5,3,3,2 (with possible addition of Schürzen for 10 heat on flanks) - I use this in my alt WW2 OOB.
c) from drawings and "Real" turret on SdKfz234/2 = 8,4,3,4,1,1,2 + Skirts
Also If this existed would the MBT also have been called Leopard? If they were recycling names why not Tiger for the MBT? OR the "next" big cat name?
OOB 44
1. As note 1. above: Unit #1 should be "title page"
2. Gepard - same name for airborne light tank and Heavy Flak tank on different chassis? (need another name for airborne stuff Units #62 through #80)
3. Weapon #111 Believe the Mg131 isnt 13.2
cm as above
All for now
as I said minor niggles and typos - great stuff
Will start doing some force builds and playing now

. Indeed the duplicates are for stand-alone ability. I provided an excel document so you can see which sounds I edited. Take a look in there. The coloured stuff (Red, Blue is mine). Some of the orange and yellow too.
