First Kursk mission
Hello again Zee and fellow armadillos
I would be honoured to test the first mission as part of the "dead man driving team" - but I have a big problem; I am going to my daughter's wedding in Scotland leaving here on the 2nd April (for approx 2 weeks). I should be happy - but- I really need to hear the shells whizzing past my ears more ------ (sorry daughter!!!!!) I'd love to give it a run, but I'm aware I might not have any significant findings for you. Never mind if I get it before I go and I have time to see if it will run I can give you a preliminary report, if you would like. Mind you I don't think my system is "high end" but thanks for the compliment - it was pretty good a year ago but Graphics cards have made great progress since then - especially ATI/Radeon. I have known about the wedding for some time but hoped they'd have a big bust up and I could get on with Kursk no luck I'm afraid. Nevertheless I will give it a go if there is time to get a reply back to you Zee. Over and Out Mort Just tuning up the Bagpipes to serenade Lc and Grey Mice (and to punish my reluctant 'A' driver) Frinik get your ear plugs in! PS I just (really) noticed the detail in the grass seed heads - or is it corn - very nice The Tigers Good too BTW |

Testing?Yes but don't test my patience!!!!
Hey Mr. Zeeman I am interested in testing.Because of time difference I couldn't answer before and since I have a low end graphic card I couldn't see the announcement before as well but I am definitely interested in testing and being used as a guinea pig.
I don't want LC and MOrt to be too much ahead of me with their Porsche graphic cards. Cheers |

Graphic Message!
Mort happy wedding trip! Should you ever cry when you give away your daughter tell yourself that you may be losing a daughter her but gaining in your son-in-law a future fan of TvsT????(Initiate him to the mysteries feline charms of a Tiger tank).
I like bagpipes but kilts I find them good only on pretty girls..... Zee, with my LOW END graphic card I can test the misison one frame at a time and trully find out all the little details that you missed and that the others with their HIGH END cards won't be able to see. Cheers |

Congrats
Hello Mr. Morty
Morty first of all congratulations, its a big day for you and your daughter, enjoy it. I hope she has the right man, and the right "son" for you, so if you have trouble he can handle the Tigers 88mm and kill some T34s. About testing we ZW tankers take care of you, if you want we can bring in some pix so you can hear and smell the battle and battlesound. Good vacation and really enjoy the two weeks.

Well Guys, I am building the Auto-install as I am writing this message.
I have to say there is so much more that I wanted to add but my system is to slow (low end). I am sorry frinik if I hurt your feelings so don't worry The only problem is at slow speeds the physics model goes crazy and believe me this thing is slow on my computer. The Auto-Install will be a big download around 376mgs compressing 1gig of data. The models and textures are the main culprit. So now it's time to upload to my site so you will hear from me after that is done. Cheers ZW |

Lc/Mort
Lc , Porsche is a car designer first and foremost he designed the immortal VW Beetle (Hitler's only surviving legacy by the way), the wonderful Porsche 956 and the 911.You mean the Tiger II not the TigerI? Because as far as I know Porsche was not involved in the design of the Panzer VI...As for the Ferdinand/Elfant they were the product of that particular Nazi obsession with everything Kolossal; Big Bertha and Anzio Annie' s huge mortar guns, V2s, Maus and Ratte tank designs, even huge aircrafts (Me 323 I think it was) designed to bomb the US. Germany was like the pauper pretending to be a rich man.
To me Porsche is the symbol of German mechanical excellence( even today) much more than Audi, Mercedes Benz or BMW. Very well Herr Hauptstuermfuehrer, I will stand down and relax and stop glancing nervously ahead to see if your Tiger is not rushing forward -without me - against the Bolschewik feind.... Let's post some pics of the first battles for Mort so he has something nice to dream about at night while his wife sings him the " Panzerlied" to induce him to sleep peacefully. Have a good Easter wedding Mort! |

Hello Kamerad frinic!
Frinic i meant Tiger I when they had to built prototypes for the Tiger I. There was a Porsche prototype and Hitler preferred Porsche because he was origin Austrian. But it failed and so Henschel went into production after testing both of them. Sure it was nearly the same with the Königstiger. I have anphoto of that prototype. Very well Herr Hauptstuermfuehrer, I will stand down and relax and stop glancing nervously ahead to see if your Tiger is not rushing forward -without me - against the Bolschewik feind.... No, no rushing without you we NEED ANY TANKER. I will wait for you, dont want to be beaten up by those bolschewik tanks. LC |

PorscHenschel
AHHHH Herr Hauptstuermfuehrer I stand corrected. I didn't know that Porsche was involved in the tender for the Panzer VI Ausf. A.As for the Ausf. B Tiger II I don't think it was because Porsche's design was bad but simply Henschel's was easier to manufacture.In addition, Henschel's was a bit lighter (68.1 tons instead of 69.3) and allowed more ammo.
Tzankew for needing your humble sturmmann as loader.I will make sure the shell casings are properly buffed and ready to fire at the marxist locusts. Sturmmann Frinik, currently assigned to the Kursk Strategic Armour Reserve commanded by Oberstuermbahnfuehrer Zeegfried Wolf. |

BTW i am downloading Mr. ZWs addon and await you for battle. Quote Tzankew for needing your humble sturmmann as loader.I will make sure the shell casings are properly buffed and ready to fire at the marxist locusts. What does this mean? Without your fast reaction loading the gun with one of my crutches and disable that T-34 i wouldnt have survived that battle. SO NO MORE LOADER you are offically a ZANK KOMMANDER and i dont need you in the Reserve i need you on the front Beware the hun in the sun (i mean T-34s are approaching) LC PS 18 minutes left WAITING FOR SE BATTLE Last edited by LcSummers; 04-01-10 at 06:40 AM. |
