I'm half-tempted to cook up a campaign for this, incidentally...

That would be smashing. That was one of my primary motivations for making this mod. I had always hoped that it would inspire people to create scenarios and campaigns and maybe even counter-mods.

I really can't promise anything of course, since my time is limited! But the interest is certainly there, and if nothing else I could probably cook up at least one silly scenario to try a stab at

I'll have to make sure to retain a pristine copy to do this with, as I am an OOB tinkerer by habit and obsession.

251 engineering HT's are a waste of time and space as they have no game relevance beyond looking cute for a tiny handful of people who somehow feel we've failed because they aren't included PLUS THE OOB IS FULL

There are over 420 new Pics in the next patch for spww2,and 235 new Icons ( and counting ) as I recall there are new PICS for the 222 and 221 . Given THE OOB IS FULL a set to cover specific camo patterns to match narrow historical events is a waste of time and is one BIG step into rivet counting....... ONE of the reasons the OOB is full is we divided the German camo from grey to camo ( AND winter AND desert ) now even THAT's not good enough

Resizing the 250's and 251's is on my to-do list but there are so many variations in standard, winter and desert and they are spread all over the SHP files I've been putting it off until I have them all done as adding them half now and half later is not an option

Yes, I'm aware of all your points Don. Hence why I'm discussing them in a mod thread and not making pointless requests of your time.

DRG · #5 March 3rd, 2016, 02:41 PM

Well then please enlighten me......the OOB is full....the usefulness of an OOB that will not work with the existing scenarios is not even remotely worth the effort to create. It would involve hundreds of hours of work so a handful of people MIGHT DL it and MAYBE half that actually use it ( maybe .....) so what's the point of wishing for an OOB with the early 1942 camo patterns when there is NO place to put them even if they were built ?

The REASON the German OOB looks the way it does is due 18 of player requests like yours.....it could be described as "too complete"

I apologize for bringing it up, I'll drop the subject.

I was more curious about what Monty would do if he were to tackle it.

I like the SPWW2 German OOB as is. It is detailed enough, I'd say. You've got all kinds of exotic stuff in there to play with. You even have Orpo, which is unique.

I'd only make cosmetic changes at best otherwise the in-game scenarios - the Germans are in a lot of them - would be ruined.

Sound work - like Cross' mod would be as advanced as I'd consider going.

Maybe implement some of the new icons if it was not too complicated. To be fair though I never saw the point. Don and Andy have it covered.

As a modder I prefer something totally new where I can be a bit more creative in my own right.
