Re: campaign films

No I mean the films like Russians attacking, Before the Action, Captured in Libya etc. I know where the BIK files are located for the actual vids but I was wondering if its possible to edit when they are shown. Case in point, have the Before the Action vid cue for the start of the Liberator operatio...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

I knew the partisans were cast with russki uniforms. I was actually thinking they would look better in some amalgamation of civie, soviet and german items. What do you think? I'm just surprised that someone aware of Claymore would make the mistake for the month of Overlord, provided its not a typo. ...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

I know where Bohemia and Slovakia are.  :roll: What makes you say that Liptakov is in Bohemia. The game has already proved to be erroneous with dates regarding the Lofot operation so why wouldn't they make a mistake here? The bloody date for the Blade Dancer mission is set in May before the D-Day la...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

Well, I wouldn't say necessarily that my claim is "outrageous" since I was just trying to locate the real town of Liptakov only to find that there isn't one but rather a very closely named one which is in Slovakia. And your said earlier that these missions have them traveling quite a bit so it shoul...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

I made the mistake of Brno on the fly and edited it shortly after consulting a map that was more to scale. The real city of Liptovsky is in Slovakia. And I know Brno is in Czech. I've found no map of Liptakov as spelled this way or pronounced. I've looked at post cold war atlases and google earth et...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

Why would a prototype model not include a version with the intended BMW installation? I realize the V1 was piston driven and the V2 had it as fail safe. The V2's engines actually flamed out and the piston engine saved the pilot during those tests. If I said that the whole lab idea is not historic be...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

We're talking about the blue-prints, designs, the models. Not the actual aircraft. The design called for the BMW engine by 1941. But again we both agree that the mission should take place in 1942. BOTH of us agree that many of the anomalies and anachronisms including the briefing recon photo point t...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

I was suggesting that the desert jeep have more features typical of an LRDG or SAS vehicle. Of course there are basic versions that could make extended treks through the desert. There's a famous signal corps photo of three tattered G.I.'s returning from being trapped the 3 days behind the Kasserine ...

Re: Mafia II engine platform for H&D3 mod?

Would anyone still want H&D3 with the way Mafia II turned out? I'll admit I would be curious but somehow I feel like it would end up like MOH Airborne with some gimmick or sell point.
Or it may even go modern  no_02

Re: Sabre Squadron question

"Inaccuracies that are not possible, I don't like. " Couldn't agree more. Remember we've only been talking about the first mission. Things like the Allgemeine uniforms being worn throughout the game, the date for the Blade Dancer mission set in May not June, the lack of equipment and proper weaponry...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

You misunderstood. It is important that the mission take place in mid-late 1942 for several reasons. Didn't read my post where I placed the training in Scotland 1942? I was stating that there are certain limitations regarding accuracy that cannot be changed unless you mod the 80 to a 77 or a British...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

True on your point regarding the bios. I'll admit I exaggerated a little. However, about a third of the troops are born in the 1900's which puts them at the age of most officers and NCO's for commando personnel. I put most of them in my mod averaging at 25 with the youngest 21 and oldest 32 or so. I...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

Are you in the UK Vitamin? Curious as the birthdays don't show in my bios with the US localized texty. The DOB for most of them would have placed them in their late thirties and forties!! Not prime time Commando material. I had changed the place of training to Scotland in 42 already. Paratrooper hel...

Re: Sabre Squadron question

Not a problem at all. Glad this thread might generate something interesting. Vitamin, Mostly what I did was edit the bios to include date of birth and important military background info pertaining to previous military exploits and mentioning their important attributes rather than marriage status and...
