T34 vs Tiger- Kursk 1943 coming soon!

[morttheslayer]

Zee Thanks very much for the reply - I will await your test with interest. Radeon cards seem the best Value currently.
Frinik you can hide behind my smoking wreckage for cover when we advance, my 'A' driver might be more a problem than the HE shells though!!
My FPS range from (momentarily) as low as 7 or 8 to as high as upper 30's (say 38FPS) and only become really noticeable when I am traversing the turret as gunner on fast (i.e. keyboard not the mouse) control. Oddly there seems to be no direct correlation between units/action and FPS slowdown consistently. When I say that (consistently) I mean yes sometimes in the thick of heavy action I get slowdown (as you could expect) but there again sometimes when I expect to get slowdown in another heavy (well it seems to me!!) action then the FPS is much higher.
Obviously there are other factors unseen that are giving the hardware "a hit" but I cannot distinguish accurately what it is.
I do hope it's as playable as ZW's excellent modded missions to date, as they are manageable (so far) and perfectly playable on this CPU and GPU.
Keep Lc out of the villages he'll be scouting for female companions while we act as heavy artilliary magnets

Over and out Mort

To Zee and Tankers (Frinik asked the resupply question).

I have had success in repair rearming when a Hannomag is part of the attacking force (travelling with the tanks).

I have had success when I left an attack to find a Hannomag for ammo.

I have not had success calling a Hannomag up when disabled or wanting ammo and Hannomag/supply column is some distance away (I can see them on the map but not visually from tank).

I have not tried out calling for Hannomag at an intermediate distance like for example 1000 metres away as this situation hasn't occurred to me.

Over and Out Mort

end January 31 2011 plus $10.00 I will give you all my Kursk
releases until 1-31-2010. And then if you renew your membership
on or before that date you will receive everything I release
for that year.

How about that?

Mort I can´t hide behind your smoking wreckage as it would send my FPS plummeting Me too >I have that same experience my FPS go down while they shouldn´t and recover when they shouldn´t as well????But I haven´t experienced a decrease in FPS since have played ZW´s fXmas release.The first time they plummeted bad and ever since no more problem!!!Can´t figure it out.

As for LC ever since he´s been awarded the Purple Crutches he only eats in the officer´s mess and flirts outrageously with the Grey Mice of the Luftwaffe...

Luck tomorrow.

Michael welcome to the ZW club!

There's something beautiful about the Tiger!

[LcSummers]

[QUOTE=frinik;1340150]

Zee sorry to contradict you but the Tiger II had an exaggerated fuel consumption which was the result of its sheer 68 tons weight( by comparison, most modern tanks like the Leopard II A6 or the Abrams M2A1 weigh less than that!).I checked and it guzzled 500 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres.With only 860 litres in the tank the driving autonomy was barely 120 kilometres at best.It was a great defensive weapon and against an enemy who did not have air superiority it would have been unbeatable.



As i see frinic is very concerned about fuel consumption of that Tiger II. He even points out that modern tanks are easier. YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!

So i have a suggestion: It must be a fast tank like the Panzer II and agile like his old Panzer I.

There is only one solution. Give Him a JAGDTIGER. Its faster than a snail and agile like a dragonfly.

No worry about the bridges it can cross every bridge (for sure only once) but then you have two games in one. Frinic call loud as possible ALARM FLUTEN, you have a subsim too.

About fuel consumption ZW please build in every village a FAST FOOD RESTAURANT like Mc D with a drive in. There we cann refuel those HUNTING TIGERS and Tiger IIs with french fries oil and so we are recycling "fuel" and save the world.

Cheers and good hunting friends


LC


PS: Frinic some day i will make a picture of my purple crutches and send it. What about our logo?

Morty you are right. I need some R and R after my wounds recieved in battle. Sure with my high awards i have to go "around" the tanksim forum and promote for new members and artillery magnets. Someone has to view those heavy fights from distance as Napoleon did.


VIVE LA KURSK


MAYDAY MAYDAY


LC IS BAILING IN

[LcSummers]

But I figured that if you pay $50.00 for a membership that will

releases until 1-31-2010. And then if you renew your membership
on or before that date you will receive everything I release
for that year.

ZW wil you inform us (e-mail) if our membership expires? That would be fine i think most of the members will renew membership. I defenetly will but since march 2011 its a long time and as i am in the officers mess with nice Luftwaffe mice (frinic) its possible that i forget it.

TODAY I had a dream and its coming true K U R S K

MILLE GRACIE Mr ZW



LC

[frinik]

Lc I love the idea of having a Jagdtiger.This way I'll stay behind( unable to cross those light bridges ) and offer you courageous front line Tigers moral and fire support.I'll open a fast food stand( using motor oil for cooking and recycling) to supply the troops..I'll call my stand Tiger King...

Lc, you're chattier than an old maid! Patience with the logo. I have draft ready but ZW is busy with the impending release and won't be able to do anything about it for a while.I promise you that it will be on our tank turrets before the second release.I alos have been both sick and very busy with other things. If I don't keep my promise then I'll drive a pink panzer I straight into those Soviet 152mm batteries....

Today is WedneZeeday ....

[ZeeWolf]

Hello Guys,

I could sure use your help in testing my first Kursk mission
If you are not interested I understand. This is not to find
bugs btw. My interest is if there is (with high end computers)
room to add more objects by checking the frame rate and smooth
ness of game play I also tweaked the timing to take advantage
of the high end GPUs and CPU power in hopes of removing a coded
limit. Please let me know if you are interested and have the
time. I need to be sure with you High end guys like LC and Mort
before I release the mission on the slower or Low end guys like
(well, let me think) - Herr frinik

And I will provide alink for you later today (I'm down to the
wire so-to-speak).

Sincerely,

ZW

PS: This is for members

Hi Zee,

I just got my new PC, burned in and ready to go with a fresh clean install of T-34 vs Tiger last night!

AMD Phenom II 955 BE Rev C
8 gigs of RAM
Nvidia 9800GT
Win 7 Pro 64 bit

Its hot and fast!

Ready to try out a mission.

This will go over a clean install of TvT correct?

That's great Wilcke, yes a clean install is best (no other non-ZW mods
to cause havic).
I need you to email me so I can make sure the e-mail issue is not a
problem for us. You already have my e-mail address so let me hear
from you mate. I still have work to do but that will only take about
6-7 hrs. mostly art work.

Cheers,
ZW

PS: BTW I am considering AMD
