H&D Deluxe; the ultimate mod; Mission overhauls

So, in this case this will be the final update of the Ardennes 2 mission.

No further updates of this mission are planned.

What about Ardennes 3?

He even got hold of the summer one where the partisans smeared off the German cross with gray paint.

In fact, I don't know if a summer one with the original markings even exists.

Well, i am OK with that.

The partisans captured a Panther tank - so they tried to remove the German markings.

I think that this fits well into the Greece 3 mission.

The instructor mentioned about T-34 or captured Panther tank in the video briefing before the mission.

Please wait while Nilz and I try to think something up.

I assume that You mean the Ardennes 3 mission?

I already wasted too much time on the endless Ardennes 2 mission editing. I want to finally record it and upload on my YouTube channel. I am out of schedule because of this.

[Myron]

Oh sorry, I should have clarified; I meant hold on mission 3.

Go ahead with posting Ardennes 2, I'd love to see the wrecks on YouTube.

I recently uploaded the video recorded from my modified Ardennes 2 mission on my Youtube channel.

As for the Ardennes 3 mission i added a US jeep wreck and 4 "graves" of US soldiers killed during their recon mission. There is an M1 Carbine and a helmet on top of it on each grave (see picture below). I though, that wooden crosses would be inappropriate, because fellow soldiers didn't have enough time to bury their dead colleagues properly due to the German counter-attack (the US forces needed to retreat quickly and abandon the warehouse). What do You think Myron?

Please let me know, thanks.

LOL, Brilliant idea. Such an idea never came to my mind. In fact, I didn't even know such a think was possible.

Anyway, I cam online because I just now thought of asking you to put a fully loaded jeep at the head of the American convoy, with the speed reduced to match the Shermans, and to increase the number of Shermans, to make it look like an actual relief column.

Thanks. It is a matter of proper modding in HDD Editor and 3ds Max. Keep in mind that those M1 Carbines and helmets are only for visual purposes. You cannot take them with you.

Well, this could be just a "scout" of the US armor division.

This is not a "relief" because the US reinforcements came only when we get rid off all Germans in the warehouse area.

I don't think that this would be a good idea for a change in the Ardennes 3 mission. In addition it would be hard for me to properly implement it.

[p.jakub88]

So, below i am posting the latest update of my modified Ardennes 3 mission.

You will also need to download the models.mod.rar archive and unpack it to your main H&D Deluxe directory (i.e. C:\Program Files\Take2\Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe) in order to be able to see the helmet model placed on top of each of M1 Carbine on US soldiers graves. Merge with existing models.mod folder if needed.

LOL, good! Because I'd hate to be tempted to desecrate a grave.

No not hard. You can adjust the drive speed by setting the value COUNT in the programm of the driver. 1 is slow and 999999 is full speed.

Well, thanks for the info, but i am not planning any further updates of the Ardennes 3 mission.

Now i will focus on possible changes in the Greece campaign.

How fast can you cross the Germany 5 mission if the halftrack is set to 999999?
