RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - 19 Delta - 03-25-2017 Seriously, I think this is the most content I've ever seen in a demo Can't wait till PzB find its way to the mediterranean theater RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - Mr Grumpy - 03-25-2017 I now have the demo, what a fantastic piece of work and all for free!!  I was waiting for PzB 3 before dipping into the series as I believe it will cover the North African campaign and the Mersa el Brega scenarios will certainly wet my appetite while I wait, I actually made my own version of the "Enter Rommel" scenario for Tobruk41 so it is a battle close to my heart. Well done David, his team and JTS.

Maybe sir you are Peter Hickman the creator of "Rommel delayed" scen for Tobruk 41??? what a great scen, expect see it ported to PzB3 (like some of the Volcanoman scens from his Compass mod for El-Alamein). I try add some italians to the Mersa scen but is not possible because lacks the unit portraits, i can use them from PzC but not for the other visual options and made not appear components... and with no components OOB editor crash. I expect have time to pick at least one game from demo but i feel cold strikes back... and my temperature rises.... bed is calling me 
RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - Laza - 03-25-2017 Many thanks for what looks like an excellent freebie Cant wait for it to download which is taking a little longer then normal. Not surprising though as I guessing its rather popular
RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - Compass Rose - 03-26-2017 I like the newly added feature that shows a small diamond in the hex of a minefield that signals how big the mine field is. Very nice touch! 
RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - ComradeP - 03-26-2017 Quote:A little question, the A13 cruiser tanks with 8/3 hard attack value VS the 2 pdr AT guns with 7/3 hard attack value is intentional??? Maybe the tank regiments had access to better ammunition, similar to how 17 pounder stats are different for the Achilles, Firefly and AT gun versions in Normandy? The H35 as represented in the Hannut scenarios is a bit peculiar, as it shows H35 tanks with a longer gun but they're not called H39's and use a different picture. I wonder what those longer gun H35's represent. The two vehicles indeed seem to represent the original H35 and improved H39 versions. I think the French halftrack received the soft halftrack defence value of 10 by mistake instead of the hard halftrack defence value of 3, which it should receive like you mention. The SA37 seems to be a bit overrated, it seems the penetration data for a 0 degree angle was used by accident, instead of the 30 degree angle from the vertical. A value of 10 with a maximum range of 5 to represent its consistent performance at range thanks to the capped ammunition and its good accuracy might be more accurate See this website for what the penetration would be at that angle It was certainly the best AT gun around, but not as spectacular as it is in the game currently, with a HA value 3 points higher than that of the Panzer IIIm's KwK 38 L/60 and nearly as good as the T34's 76.2mm gun. http://www.littlewars.se/french1940/gundata.html [/url][url=http://www.littlewars.se/french1940/gundata.html] RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - Xaver - 03-26-2017 I remember read that H-35 receive in early 1940 the improved 37mm gun like the one used in H-39 and i imagine this is the situation, maybe change the portrait name in a similar way used to diference between PzIII with L60 VS L42... Yep, the SA is very powerfull in game looks a mistake like the problem with 76mm arty for Luftwaffe land divisions in Normandy. I did some modding before go bed and i find something strange, i prefer have german army in grey and SS in black and i use the files from Normandy but i find that in the unit portrait not all have the icon in the correct colour.. for example here you see one in grey and other in the old blue colour, same with SS where some appear in black and other in grey. I dont know how is possible because in Normandy and Kursk same type of modding change to the new colour the unit portrait NATO symbol  http://i.imgur.com/G1btuxb.jpg RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - Strela - 03-26-2017 (03-26-2017, 08:14 PM)Xaver Wrote: I remember read that H-35 receive in early 1940 the improved 37mm gun like the one used in H-39 and i imagine this is the situation, maybe change the portrait name in a similar way used to diference between PzIII with L60 VS L42... That's because some icons are hard coded into the unit card. For example there is only one icon for mg or Engineers so when they're motorised we replace it on the unit card. David RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - wiggum - 03-26-2017 Adjusted my mod for the Demo: Goal was again to make it look more modern and serious. ![[Image: 4h9GVbM.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/4h9GVbM.jpg) ![[Image: hS10UtE.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/hS10UtE.jpg) ![[Image: G77szDS.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/G77szDS.jpg) Tell me what you think ! RE: Panzer Battles Demo - Released! - PzKw43 - 03-27-2017 Much better! Data visualization rule #1 is to remove unnecessary pixels. Having a map in the background of the Unit Boxes is distracting. There should be an option to turn off the artwork in the window containing the Unit Boxes. The units displayed on the map should have a single background color with no fill effects. |
