I heard it was mostly MkIII and MK.V Shermans though?
- How about er, making an optic illusion so you can't tell the Firefly from the regular Shermans?
(They camoe-ed the longer gun). Only revealed when it fires (the 17pdr reacted VERY differently.
The sound and the clouds of dust it threw up).
On the whole, though, I prefer Cromwells and stuff for the Brits.
Sigh, if only we could do something similar to NSD44
Do you own it?
Most games have the ability to show an un-identified tank as a Tiger (instead of Pz4)
and what not. I think it'd be fun. But would the essence engine allow it?
- A. Soldier : No. No, no. No, no, no, no.
Backaway from there, you are being BAD (ie: The Kangaroo). Lol.
That thing was a nightmare, it was.
Do you have NSD44?
Hey, I'm going by what US Manufacturers called them, I don't know what you called them in terms of Marks and that sort of thing.
The camo on the Firefly is doable as a skin I think. If it has anything to do with the model tho it's a no go since Relic disabled model tweaking/modding a long time ago. We only have old videos from back in 2013 of people inporting things like the Hetzer, Jagdpanther, Ostwind and Puma from CoH over to CoH2 and then Relic cut it because of course somebody would be able to make an entirely new game without them getting a cent off of it, and instead of supporting them Relic just shut the can because fuck it, it's either them getting all the money or nothing.
And yeah I mean, when you're talking about the British, you imagine things like the Churchill, Cromwell, Sherman Firefly and that sort of thing, maybe Matildas in Africa, Valentines, Crusader tanks and so forth, but in reality because of the small industrial capabilities of the small island on which England was based on, and because of it's close proximity to the German reich at the time making it a prime target to bomb they had to import a lot of things, basically 70% of the American lend-lease program went to them, the Soviets only got like 30% of it. And those are things like infantry weapons, tanks and other vehicles, food and so on. You don't imagine a British column mostly made up of American Sherman tanks, jeeps and what not produced for British service as well as the supplies on their Bedford trucks, or the M10 Achilles. Canada as well but I guess that's for another topic.
I don't know what exactly you mean, if it's about the icon on the mini map I think that's already there, if you mean what you actually see on the field then no, I don't think it's possible to have it so a Panzer IV looks like a Tiger to you just to fool you.
If you have a direct line of sight on something then it's all you.
And nah, it was fun abusing it before they nerfed it lol. But I'll admit I'm kind of a British fanboy, even if the British Army was broken for the most part, it had character I really liked compared to the American Army for some reason.
And I mean, nobody else could this for example:

Park your HQ trucks on the middle of the bridge and make it a fortress lol. Or push with a Firefly shield wall, or rush an enemy loaded up with meme kangaroos, I had tons of fun hunting panthers like that, or provide a wall of fire with the Priest Overwatch, and I never understood why they just didn't give the Brits the Sexton and the Americans the M7 Priest in the first place, I mean the 105 you get in the Infantry tree is nice and all but it's basically a pain in the ass after the targets are out of it's range and compared to the 25 pounder can't be destroyed as easily. That's also another thing that's missing in CoH2, the simple ability to just delete shit, like I have absolutely no idea why they removed that.
And lastly, I played that game from a friends' shared library but it crashed for me after like 30 minutes so he decided to refund it because he didn't like it as well or something to that end.
