Profile of Tiger Baron

Crew survival rates were high but sadly not all could jump out in time. So a 60 or maybe more % chance of the crew jumping out before the tank explodes would be sort of realistic especially if the vehicle was "out of control".

So this is a part 2 of the previous topic about the LeIG 18 direct fire AT mode of sorts.

This time I wanted to shine some light on "breakthroughs" of sorts from other less known mods.

Like for example a lot of vehicle animators for MG gunners and commanders like in the realism mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=904421369

Here's some example pics -

Churchill commander and Vickers MG gunner:


AEC III Vickers MG gunner:


Sherman M4A4 (British variant) Commander:


Pershing .50 cal gunner:


The mod in general is very fun for the more immersion and realism seeking people like myself, weapons are longer ranged and more deadlier and you get to play with some more historically accurate division units of sorts as well as special such as the Waffen SS.

Here's another mod that uses a lot of hidden features from the game like artillery pieces having a direct fire mode: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=909803416

Pak 43 artillery mode, not historically accurate but still nice:


Pak 40 hull down sort of emplacement/digging in:


Already dug in:


I haven't tried this mod out yet but it certainly seems interesting and provides a few other features but I fear this post might get a hell of a lot longer if I keep adding to it here so feel free to check it out if you like what you see here.

Like I said this is just throwing some ideas out there which perhaps the community team could use.

I especially think that the dig in ability for crewed weapons is a bit better than the current emplacements that particularly dominate the British gameplay.

Hello, so today me and Widerstreit tested out his mod and I stumbled upon an old project of his which basically gives the LeIG a direct fire AT mode that could be used to supplement OKW's AT since as people have noted that the Raketen is lacking due to the majority of it's shots hitting the ground because of the low spawning shells and low range, the Sturms are given the AT infantry job on top of their other 5 jobs and the Puma and Jagdpanzer IV both cost fuel and so on.

Here's a couple of screenshots of the ability in action:

Direct fire AT mode -


Indirect fire artillery mode which is the current one in the vanilla game -

Along with it are a few other things which he is experimenting with it like a new Radio bunker model and new trench.

Sadly he deleted the repair station from the preview picture after it was declined by the community mod team back in the revamped commander patch so there's no point in looking for it.

He's also responsible for the grenade fix and other things which were implemented a long time ago into the game.

I enjoyed Tigers in the Mud too.

I'd also recommend Panzer Commander by Hans von Luck. His autobiography starts before the war and continues into Russian captivity at the end.

Thanks, I'll give it a look.

Realistic or not the Black camo is better than the yellow one and is a big nostalgia call for us CoH veterans.
