And the vehicle that most needs MOD-love is?

The Archer - but then again no one in their right mind would want to use it if they had to. In real life they should have shot the tank designer!

[Zitadelle]

I really shouldn't see this anyway- considering how rare the unit was....

A correct T26E4 Super Pershing as the only two briefly served in late April, 1945. Of course it should have the welded on Panther front plate and the additional hydraulic recoils mounted on the turret roof to support the extended length barrel and thicken mantle.

M24 Chaffee. It's one of my favorite tanks, but their's only one mod for it out there to my knowledge, and that mod has room for improvement.

[Sarge Saunders]

The Hellcat. Needs a good low res / high res patterned mod (with a US star)

[Dogface21]

Second vote for CHAFFEE!! The only mod in existance is'nt quite up to speed, and its one of my fav tanks. Bring it up to the level of the Marco\Gordon series, and you'l be a god in my book.

The Archer. There is a decent low rez net camo texture out there (that is what I use), but it uses a lot of BTSs original textures.

It needs a little love.

[Warmaker]

Chaffee needs attention but the Pershing tanks REALLY need a makeover. Badly.

The Daimler!
it appears to be the only allied vehicle that hasn't been modded at some point. Correction, there is a mod, but its really old and doesn't match any other recent Brit mods.

[Ex Bellator]

The Daimler - Pawbroon began to Mod it after doing his excellent carriers, but I think he's given up. Shame because I'd vote for this as well.

The Archer: It gets a lot of stick, but the crews actually liked the Archer over the other types available because of it's very low profile which made it perfect in an AT ambush role, and it achieved more kills than the Wolverines etc. did. I think it was phased out mainly because Fireflies and other big-gun tanks became more common and German armoured counter-attacks became rarer.

One drawback with the Archer was that it was so small that the driver would have to jump out of the vehicle prior to the 17pdr firing, or the recoil would decapitate him!

My Other Mod Request - I keep harping on but can someone do a better TRP and Ambush symbol than the ultra-low-res ones we currently have that sit on the field all day. I would have thought that it would be a relatively simple thing, albeit too complex for the likes of me!

How about the Marder II? How many mods are out there for it, maybe 1?

Dogface, Warmaker & DaveT:

There is(was) a graphic update for the M-24 Chaffee at Manx' www.combat-missions.net (http://www.combat-missions.net)
It should be available (again) when Manx has completed the transfer of his site to CMHQ.

In this picture you can see an update for the M-26 Pershing, too.

Sarge Saunders,
This is a hires version of the M-18 Hellcat.
Based on stock BTS graphics with a mch sharper star on the bow. Available at CMHQ soon (when Manx' tranfer is completed).

We need to define the rules of this game.

Are we talking about the most-needed mod of REMAINING untouched vehicles, or are we talking about the most ugly-ass armor in the default art and thank God there are mod makers out there to replace them?

My vote for ugly-ass default vehicle is the Nashorn/Hummel. And there's just one mod set out there of this beast. With all that flat armor plate crying for camou schemes what haven't we seen more mods?

My vote for untouched mod is the Daimer Scout Car.

[mike8g]

Silvio,
I have four mods of the Marder II on my HDD:

- dark green with brown patches (lo-res)
- worn out grey and sand color (lo-res)
- bright sand with green and brown dots (high-res)
- same as above but subdued (non official, done for myself)

Marcus

[mike8g]

MikeyD,
IIRC, there are two mods for the Nashorn/Hummel:

- one mod set with monocolor, bicolor and tricolor files (although very bright in subdued terrain)
- one tan/brown/green version with foliage added

Quite frankly and as fate has it, I started both the Archer and the Daimler.
As stated when I first MODed the Humber and UC, I wasn't anywhere near any of the other talented MODers.
That's why I chose to take on those uglies because they wouldn't be the first to receive the attention of my own personal Pantheon.
To date, all of what I contributed to this community had been dedicated to those real talented guys (you know who you are Ye Bastards!).
Since then, there had been more and more people like Feldgrau who contributed far more than I could ever cope with.
So to make a long story short, I stopped MODing those and did some things for friends in Counter Strike and such.
I'm as disapointed as you are that those lazy MODers hadn't done them.
Sheesh!
:D

I still have both the Work In Progress and the material on my HD and if none of my MODing friends had started on those 2, I'd give it a shot again.
Don't hold your breath for too long though.
I for one would rather have a Daimler done by someone else rather than what I'm using now.

No for some of you who think that novelty beats improvements, take a look at those Shermans from the Shrine.

Now that's dedication.
Marco, that's a Sherman Obsession!
People are screaming murder for Chaffees and TDs.
There's even a French I know of who would rather play with your Daimler than his own.
That's it.
It's to be released BTW.
But that's only Shermans and CMMOS 3.0 so all of you Chaffee huggers could not be bother...
:D

[PawBroon]

I must be getting sentimental but I do think that any release of a Bergman/Molek combo is to be BUMPed for.
CMMOS 3.0 and Shermans a-plenty anyone?
