I downloaded the demo pretty much as soon as I saw this thread. So I think it might be the new demo.

I'm not sure how many processors this has got. I think I should find out the full spec though :oops:

New higher resolution reskin/recolor for BAR.

Barrel, stock, the main body & clip reskinned. Other parts colored to be more dark. The original skin was 128x64, this is 1024x512 (dont worry about the file size, the .dds compression the game uses packs them pretty nicely). :up: Just drop the 3dobj folder to your TOW folder.

Yay!

Edit: Have you done something to the guy holding it too?

Yes, that's a paratrooper skin I was/am doing. Not really happy with it. :nope:

ait, what kind of games is this? Is it like Company of Heros?

Nah, Company of Heroes is for kids.:p Its real time strategy, but the main differences is LOS (line of sight), realistic ballistic data (angle, speed, range and ammo type vs type of armour, etc, etc), larger maps with more scope and psychology.

In other words your tank can be fired upon, and the crew can flee without the tank taking serious damage, or they can be killed inside the tank by a penetrating round, etc, etc. Tanks are usually knocked out without drama, but on some rare occasions explode. Also, AT gun crews run for cover if fired upon, but return to the gun when all is clear. This game is awesome! (If you have the patience to learn how to play, some are scared away by the way this has to be played, and I get that)

For instance, forget storming a fortified position like in other more arcade rts. You WILL be blown away!

Also, all your troops gain experience throughout the campaigns, and you can manually distribute skills and medals.

I will upload an unedited video from an entire battle between Allied and German forces in the Bulge soon. (Stage6 lets you do this, since there is no time limit like f.i YouTube)


You might say Company of Heroes is medal of Honour: Airborne, and Theatre of War is Red Orchestra.

Dowly, I saw someone over at Battlefront complaining about the stretsching of textures, so you are not alone.

Strange that none of the devs chime in, mods are in their interest after all.

Grrr!! How can Stug see my bazooka guy crawling in the bush on the tank's side!? :damn:

:rotfl:

Rofl! Not funny! I somehow managed to wander abit too far with the guy and end up into a village full of germans. Now the poor fecka is lying behind a small strip of stone wall, with MG34 on other and X-Ray Goggles 3000 wearing Stug on other. I think this' a job for my fearless sniper, Ronald Freeman (Grandfather of G. Freeman) who takes the tank apart bolt by bolt with his crowbar. :yep:

:DHihi, good luck, Gordon.

Just wait until the time you are fighting a ruthless battle where both sides are taking heavy losses, and you order an air strike on a hill with AT guns, just to have one of the planes shot down and crash into your 76mm Sherman with über-crew.:stare: The odds, oh the odds.

great game but right now I am stuck on one of the russian campaign missions called Libaration, takes place in spring 1944. Kind of a a piss off, I have to attack a german held village, the problem is, I get a platoon of T-34/85s, with another platoon availible halfway through as reinforcements. I also get about 2-3 rifle platoons. I am going up against at least 2 platoons of Tiger IIs probably another two platoons of infantry, with sime Panzer IIIs, IVs and Panthers added in as well. My T-34s can't touch the tigers, and they can't get close enough because as soon as they are detected the tigers take them out with their 88s.

Yeah, i've noticed the game likes to dump virtually impossible odds on top of the player at times. And every now and then, it feels like the AI gets in some annoying cheap shot and takes out your best SPG in one hit.

But I applaud it for the taking the seldom used realism approach these days. Also interesting to note that the game was built on the Il-2 Sturmovik engine, which probably helped to cut costs.

The trick is to gang up on the tigers, not meet them head on in a "fair" fight. Also, location, location, location. Position your tanks behind crests, just peeking over.

Nice game...but it's a shame about poor Ludwig. :cry:

:rotfl:

This magazine names Theatre of war as one of the best games of 2007:

I will give that a try when I get back to that mission (did a format and forgot to back up my saved data for TOW) I will see what happens but its awful hard to get close to those damn King Tigers, they are moving in a platoon formation so its not like I could just sneak up on them one at a time with 3xT-35/85s. I've been able to knock off a one or two but your massivly out numbered in the scenario, so its not too hard to get knocked off balance once the Panthers come in, and it dosn't help that your troops can do jack against tanks (other than AT grenades which come in handy every now and again but usually fail to penetrate a Tiger's armor). I will see what happens when I make it to that mission again.
