World War 2 BATs by Sniper and Braden

[LBraden 14]

Nice, what happened to the Jerry Cans, even the British nicked them in the desert, also what about making a Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251/1, and then I will make them all for the desert and use the terrain modd to make a desert battle scence.

 

To make it easier to get the scales and shapes I use the games Sudden Strike 2 some times with the Allied Power Realism Modd and Blitzkrieg.

Sometimes I use Battlefield 1942, with all expantion packs

Sniper did you see the two ww2 gun's, the 150mm coastel gun and the 88mm gun I posted a link to in the Massively Gigantic Japanese BAT Gallery here's the link, it's half way down the page, there's two post's there with the two gun pictures downloads!. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/view.asp?mode=viewtopic&topicID=51212&num=30&pageNo=23 Hope you like!. Craig

[LBraden 14]

good enough now what about the barracades and the PAK 40's (The other gun) are they inside the Zip

[Craigsters 3]

One gun is posted nine post's down from the top on page(23) of the Massively Gigantic Japanese BAT Gallery thread and the other gun is on the same page thirteen post's down from the top, two different gun's, the maker of the coastel gun said don't place on coast for some reason in his posted comments about the coastel gun!.

Keep your images under 800x600 please.

Hi Guys.

 

  I got alot lot of replying to do so I had better do this one at a time.

 

  EmergentFungus:  I appologize sir.  It won't happen again.  Although.. I would like it if you would warn me about them being big and not deleting them.  It would make it easier for me to change them if they were right there. and the fact is that the Pictures you deleted are not on my computer anymore!

 

  Craigsters:  Those guns are sweet!  I was planing to make them, and I still might(Just different looks), but they'll save me alot of work.  Thanks for showing them to me!

 

  Adm Lee J.E. Braden:  The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251/1 is on my Next-to-do BAT list.  It will be hard to make due to the way the body is shaped, but it will give me a chance to flex out my BAT skills.

 

  StarGate88:  Like what the Adm. said,  He's helping me find the mesurments and stuff. But you can post links if you wish.

Guys guys! one thing at a time!

Adm: Let em finish the Tiger-I first! It may interest you however (Being in the RN and all) that I also saw pictures of a whole variety of Imperial Japanese Navy ships on that same thread, but I can't find where to D/L them. Let me know if you have any success. Now I'm going to go check out those 88s!

Sniper: Ammo depot looks good!

Man, I wish I could BAT!

[LBraden 14]

Woodlm:

I tried to get the ships, but according to my Zip system they are corrupt, can someone send them to me ( leebraden1986@yahoo.co.uk ) and I have seen the Tiger and it looks good so far.

Also the ww2 zip incudes all the buildings in the picture, so that is handy

 

Also I  believe that my BAT skills are not up the standard of making Vehicles but I cna make buildings, so if you need anymore WWII Buildings made Sniper I can try for you

[Sniper 9]

Cool huh?  The newspaper above is real info(Except the russian comander part, but the mechanical problems of the Tiger I are real) thanks to Adm. Lee's links.  It took me about 2 hours to make.  But I think its worth it.   Also, this paper is to infom people that the Tiger I BAT is finished and will come out in a WWII pack. 

 

One more thing, would you guys like me to change the pic. to a colored pic. or is it fine the way it is?

 

  I hope you enjoy reading the WWII Bugle!

Greetings Simtropoians

 

Ok.This is my first major update.   Since the Tiger I is done, I've been working on a request from Adm. Lee.  Its the german Sd KfZ 251!

This first pic. is the Sd Kfz 251 with the standerd german gray.

And this is the Sd Kfz 251 with a desert camo.  And since Im done with the Tiger I, I'll show you guys what it looks like(sry I didn't show it sooner).

Now this is the Tiger I with the Desert Camo.

Are they cool?  If you notice, the Tiger I is alot bigger then the APC, due to the fact that I scaled the tank(I found out that it was to small in the game). 

 

  And before I go, what do you guys think of desert camo?  I made myself so its probably not the best that it could be.

 

Enjoy!

[frogface 354]

these look really detailed and good! got any BAT previews aswell?

[woodlm 3]

WHOA!

Sniper: I am most impressed, the Tiger and SdKfz251 Look fantastic!

Adm: I had the same problem with the ships, 2 of the files have a weird error message. But all the Guns work. I'll post a pic of them in action soon.

OK, I built small little (occupied) French coastal city as an experiment to try the WW2 bats I found. The tanks are game props I found on STEX as are the buildings (Paris sets)

The coastal gun is fantastic! It conforms to the terrain, rather that forcing a flat surface, AND it provides 80(!) jobs. I guess manning those guns are labour intensive. I also put an 88 in behind it. Images attached:

 

[LBraden 14]

the back of the 251 is incorrect as that it bugles out.

here is a pic of it, also nice so far Sniper

http://www.linux-penguin.org/achtungpanzer/votw/251.htm  it has side pics, also sorry for the bad pics, but it is an old DigiCam and you may not have seen it correctly, also the inside follows the exterior, and I was looking for the B variant, but A and C are O.K. for the DAK

 

woodlm can you direct me to the lots etc, so I can built that, as that I am making a model diorama, so I was thinking of making it in SC4 as a large landmark.

[Sniper 9]

Adm. Lee:  I can make the B class Adm Lee.  And I know that the back sticks out. In fact, thats what I was trying to get working last night.  But Im having troubles with the splines to get that shape.

 

Woodlm: those pic. look good. It really matches with the WWII theme.

 

FrogFace: I'll be getting some In-Game shots of the Tiger I and Sd Kfz 251 sometime this afternoon.

He he, I like these!!! Although my city is not militarized, my simcitizens will feel much safer knowing that our army has such a modern... hmm... a bit used... well... antique weapons  

Anyway, those plebeians don't understand anything from weaponry, so I'll tell them that they're quite new...

It looks very good Sniper , but why you should make this stuff ? Simcity is not a Wargame or shooter , You only make it for decorations? if you ask me you better can make buildings

 

But its nice so keep it coming

 

[LBraden 14]

We are making it so that is better for historic players.

 

Due to what I know about BAT can fit on the back of a UK 5 pence coin (same size as a Euro 2 cent coin and a USD 1 cent coin) I am starting to make the buildings and Sniper makes the tanks etc.

This is easy to answer.

 

1.  We are facinated by history.  And by making these BATs, We are recreating WWII history.

2.  Go look at the ST EXchange and what do you see?  Buildings.  Simtropolis has enough architects as it is.  The vehicle catagory has been rarely touch.  And I wanted to do somthing different.

3.  We also build these in the honor of those that fought and fell during WWII.

4. and the last of all, They're sooo cool loking and its fun to make them!

 

I hope this answers your questions

EDIT:  BLAST YOU ADM. LEE !  You beat me to it lol. 

 

And what the Adm. says!

[Alkaola 18]

now thats a good answer , thanks for answer my question so fast , again your creations are beautiful and i fully agree that there are enoughf building architects!

Hello fellow commrads

 

  I promised I would get some shots of the Tiger I and Sd Kfz 251 Ausf B in the game.  So here they are.

/\This picture is the Tiger I and the Sd kfz 251 Ausf B toger at the closest zoom level./\

\/And this picture is 6 Tiger Is escorting 3 Sd Kfz 251 Ausf Bs Across the country.    \/

 

Now I need some help.  I want to show you guys what they look like in the desert, but need a desert base texture for the lots.  I have the desert MOD.  Also, I want them to be able to hook up to roads(To make it look like they are traveling on roads).  Now here can I find the purple-redish square in the pic. below?   \/

Do you have to make them yourself? And if you do, is it complicated?

 

Hope you enjoy!

Which do you mean? The Paris buildings or large guns?

The Paris buildings are all on the exchange. Just do a search under Paris and you should get them all. There are acutally 2 sets/styles.

As for the guns, for the life of me I can't remember! I think i searched the Massive gigantic Japanese....etc BAT thread and found them in one of the middle pages.

[LBraden 14]

Thank you, now within about a month, if everything going according to plan a CJ will be made with all the WWII stuff in it, I may do it as a diary of a Brit trapped in France with the Germans around.

Sounds Great, can't wait to see it. perhaps I will do a CJ of my own occupied French city as well.

[Simbourgeois 139]

When are you planing to release them? Can't wait tosee them in my city  

It would be nice if you would make them as props, so that we could use them in our lots (giving credits, of course).

Anyone interested in Leopold?  Found this rail artillery piece on a Japanese site, haven't tested it yet though. Here is the link:

 

http://tokitoko.hp.infoseek.co.jp/lot.htm

 

It is the very last lot shown.

[LBraden 14]

that is actually a gmax model, so you cannot use it SC4 unless you inport it

[Simbourgeois 139]

Could someone do that? I would be very grateful...

  Thats what I've been wanting to do for awhile now.  I wish you could change the name of a topic. I have asked a moderator.

Simbourgeois:  We don't have a set date on when we are going to realese the WWII BATs.  But when we find out, you'll be the first ot know .
