They look the same because they followed the same principle in design: they were meant for urban environments (hence the heavy armor) and to destroy fortifications or dug-in troops. Since they both share the Sturm- prefix, it goes to show that they were designed with similar intentions. Just the same as a Panther was originally known as the Panzer V or the Tiger as a Panzer VI. They have similar roles, but built on different chassis with different weapons. Casemate designs were very popular among the Germans.

@Jagdpanther.
I know the Guns are different what I mean is the box on the tank anyway it don't matter to me I have just added both to my mod, and SturmTiger mortar is cool in the game anyway.

Thanks eliwOOd that's what I mean the design

What I would like to say how can you add the engine sounds to this Halifax Bomber this is one cool model but without sound.

[Khorney]

thanks eli! i must have overlooked the gunner being commented out in the stup ABP >_< sorry for pestering you, i'm working to a deadline and i had thought my comments were lost in the deluge

perhaps thats some to add for the readme in an update? it certainly slipped by me =/

[Celution]

Eli, my flak 38 gunner almost always sync's with the gun, but now my middle gunner of the flakvierling NEVER sync's anymore. Can you fix this please? The flak 38 might not make it through the BETA of my mod if this cannot be fixed...

[eliw00d]

@Celestial
No, sorry.

[LordEmperor]

I first wanted to say I did not download the Sturmpazner_iv from your post because I can't download from medpackstudios.com in China so I download it from DMz post but Dmz sturmpanzer_iv is called stup_iv now when I am playing British human vs Axis computer the computer player will not use the stup_iv model from Dmz, I have a Sturmtiger from the botb mod, in my mod and the computer player will use this model but not DMz stup_iv.

Can you tell me what is the problem on this as you and DMz both made this new model

If you change the download link I can use your sturmpanzer_iv


Thank you

[Mirage Knight]

Eli, my flak 38 gunner almost always sync's with the gun, but now my middle gunner of the flakvierling NEVER sync's anymore.

It's not the Flak 38. I have a similar problem with my Flakvierlings (non-emplaced ones) wherein more than half the time the middle gunner will stand behind the gun...and I don't have the Flak 38 worked in at all.

[rex123210]

hello, some of your pictures were dead.

[Celution]

MK, that's really strange, my Flakvierling is emplaced and worked perfectly (it always sync'ed) untill I added this Flak 38.

[Mirage Knight]

Are you using Luftwaffe gunners? Because that seems to be happening when I have gun crews that use luftwaffe models as opposed to gun crews that use Grenadier or weapon crew models. Might have something to do with the ABP's for the troops we're using as gun crews :/

Edit: One other thing. I don't have the Flak 38 but I do have the Maxson Quadmount...

@rex

81mm MMC M4, Medium Tank M4A3, Maxson M45D/M55, Universal Carrier Mk. II, and Sherman VC don't have pics that I've seen lately. I'm using Firefox btw and haven't gotten any placeholder broken image link icons...it's just blank. Either Eli hasn't put up pics for those units yet or it's a bug from when the forums were updated with new software.

[eliw00d]

The gunner not sitting is a known issue that I am looking into. There is no fix at the moment. It happens when you add either the Maxson or Flak38. I am trying to find out where there is a conflict. Celestial, if you are in a hurry I suggest learning how to use OE and trying tankdestroyer's workaround. Otherwise, have some patience.

As for the pictures, none are broken, I just haven't gotten around to getting them. I put spoilers as placeholders, so that when the images were uploaded they would show up without further editing. I have uploaded images for all the custom models, anything that doesn't have a picture isn't going to be that significant, anyways. I mean, do I really need to take a picture of the M4A3 without sandbags?

And LordEmperor, I told you a long time ago that I'm not sure why The Great Firewall of China has decided to block my humble website. I have no desire to upload all my files on a file sharing website for one person, sorry. You'll have to figure out why my website has been blocked and work from there. I will talk to my ISP and see if there's anything I can do on my end.

As for your issue with the StuP IV, that has nothing to do with our files. As has been answered in your other thread, that is an AI/SCAR issue. I suggest you be patient and work with Jagdpanther, who is trying to help you there already.

[Mirage Knight]

Eli, If you like I can get some screenies for you to host

[Althalus]

Hey Eli, it is easy/possible to model mix a normal Cromwell with the command Cromwell, so that the command tank has a normal barrel?

It just bugs me in mods like Blitzkreig where the Command tank is giving the ability to fire, yet has that dummy barrel.

[eliw00d]

As Cromwell Command tanks were meant for Brigade and Divisional Headquarters, they have no place in Company of Heroes. I'm not really looking to fix something that needn't be fixed or even used in the first place.

[Mirage Knight]

Shouldn't have a normal barrel anyway...these brigade -level vehicles were so packed with radios and observation gear there wouldn't be any room for a main gun. The job of these tanks was to sit back and observe the flow of battle, directing friendly forces where need be....not engage the enemy directly. The fake barrel was there to disguise the fact that it was a command vehicle and thus make it look less of the choice target that it really was

[Althalus]

Haha I know what it's main purpose was guys .That wasn't what i was getting at, I was just meaning for mods (and i've seen a few) that enable the cromwell command tank to fire. Just looks a bit dodgy, and wandering if it could just an antenna decked out Cromwell instead of a proper "Command" tank but as i said if its not easy or requires a new model it's nothing urgent, just a stray thought

btw. It's the key thing that unlocks later stages tanks for the CW. I personally thought its a crappy addition to CoH if it can't shoot, it just takes up Pop-cap that i need. So adding a normal barrel...well you get my point

[eliw00d]

Sorry, I'm not interested.

[Althalus]

End of story then aye. No Worries.

[Frehelias]

eli if you want I could upload the models you and DMz made onto mediafire. But not without your and DMz's permission.
So that LordEmperor can download the models.
And I will keep that as up to date as your first post is here.

[LordEmperor]

Frehelias

I like to say thank you for helping me to download the models, But if you read my post Problem with AI using custom unit you will see that I fixed the problem with some help from Jagdpanther.

I have the sturmpanzer_iv from DMz post in my mod and it works because I change everything.

I don't know why China have blocked your website China have blocked many not just yours, and I only asked if you could change one file only to filefront, but that's ok because I now have fixed the DMz tank problem.

Bye

Also ive been away, and will be abscent for another 3 to 4 weeks maybe more. I go into hospital next tuesday for my operation, and have temporarily put on hold anything to do with models, till that part of my life is sorted.

[Mirage Knight]

Best wishes for a successful operation and a speedy recovery, DMz

[Celution]

Good luck with the operation DMz, hopefully you'll recover soon.

[burtondrummerNY]

Good luck and get back soon, we need you

[SlipSon]

Good luck and fast recovery DMz

[cennedy1457]

All the best and get well soon mate!

[Xalibur]

Keep a stiff upper lip!

Best wishes,

[blandcatastrofe]

Where did you get that Luftwaffe skin? I want it!

[Martinlegend]

some pictures in the first post are not available (or is it just me?)

[Lethal Dosage]

Good luck DMz, be sure to get back to us so we can put you back to work! I'll send some CoH acolytes to be sure your ok, cus there's no escaping us!

[Frehelias]

Get well soon DMz.

[eliw00d]

Thanks to tankdestroyer, Slayerknecht and 130th Panzer we now have a Daimler Armoured Car Mk I:



It's about 90% animated and just needs some more .rgo work.

[Aidas2]

Wow awesome, although the skin could be a little lighter.

[GzaDrunkGenius]

What happened to the towable 20mm, or was the idea dropped?

[Darkbladecr]

skin looks as if it has shading problems, otherwise great work. How will the fire rate be setup?

[eliw00d]

@GzaDrunkGenius
What towable 20mm?

@Darkbladecr
I had to flip the textures vertically, I wonder if that got rid of the alpha or something... I swear, textures and I don't get along. :/

[GzaDrunkGenius]

@GzaDrunkGenius
What towable 20mm?

Oh, my mistake xD

For some reason i thought you guys were working on the 20mm ( the Saving Private Ryan one), since all the flak 38 stuff came out...

[Aidas2]

It's already released 2cm flak 38 if I'm not mistaken.

[eliw00d]

I would like to have a wheeled carriage for many things, but don't have anybody to model them. The 2cm in SPR is the FlaK30, by the way.

[Xalibur]

Very nice, many will be happy to see an new ALLIED vehicle . And concerning the textures: don`t mind as long as others get a hand on the textures

Greetings
Xalibur

[eliw00d]

Although it doesn't have a texture yet, I'm also working on the Daimler Scout Car Mk. III:



Any volunteers? Pretty soon the Brits will finally have a proper Armoured Car Troop.

[arbituh101]

OMG i came when i saw that car with the 40mm gun

[eliw00d]

D:

Also, tankdestroyer made a Littlejohn Adaptor for it. I am hoping we can try to find some reference pictures for the OQF 3" Howitzer for the Mk I CS version.

[Frehelias]

I could give it a try at skinning that car.
But I only know how to work from an UV map.
I'll reread that tutorial that is lying around here.
But don't expect awesome work right from the start. But hey everybody needs to begin somewhere.

[Widowmaker1]

Indeed, if there is a UV and you can pass them to dragon93, we could work out some skins for them. I only ever work on a skin if I can see it in game...odd as it may sound.

The Daimler scout car has always been one of my favourite models...desert rats....

[eliw00d]

Sounds good, it is indeed UV mapped.

[Ninja117]

i also like the Daimler Scout Car haha, keep up the good work!

[eliw00d]

Also, been working on the Panther Ausf. D and G, even though I won't have the parts modeled for a while. I just figured I'd get a head start so that when the modeled parts are available I can quickly add them and they will be ready.

The Ausf. D was an early version that's turret was only capable of traversing 6° per second (independent of engine power). It also lacked a hull MG and had a viewport for the radio operator. It had the older style drum cupola, as well. The red circles denote parts that I have deleted and will eventually need models for.



The Ausf. G was a late version, and the most numerous by late 1944, that had a redesigned hull with increased armor. It got rid of the driver's viewport on the hull and had different exhaust as well. Some of them were outfitted with a "chin" mantlet that prevented shots from deflecting downwards into the weak top armor. The turret traverse was slightly slower than the Ausf. A, at 20° per second at 3000 RPMs (stationary) or ~6.67° per second at 1000 RPMs (mobile).



Although not circled, the hull will be replaced with a new model as well, with the new features of the Ausf. G models.

[Celution]

Are you going to finish the current bugged driver/radio op hatches? Will you make that there are heads sticking out of them when opened or smthing?

[eliw00d]

Nah.
