I think many of us was thinking what are those tanks doing over these maps? I mean, in Normandy 1944 this type of panzer wasn't used in large numbers. It would be more accurate to show StuGs and Pzkpfw IVs, and other self propelled guns. Other than that it would be nice to see halftracks which were more common in fighting situations like we playing in DoD.
And where are the american tanks and vehicles? :)

Its not a complaint, just would be nice to see different models.

Is it possible to insert new models on the maps, or that is only possible if someone alters the map - and for that reason couldn't play with the official maps...

Other than that I like the tank model in DoD:S! Looks frightening.

I started making some models for Source but realised that for the time involved in doing it properly, there wasn't much point as Valve will probably make the same models anyway for new maps and mappers would prefer to use the Valve defaults over customs.

You can see some of the ones I did at the bottom of the Vehicles section of my gallery (http://www.wunderboy.org/gallery.php). These are high-poly ones for rendering normal maps. Actual in game ones would have less detail.

I started on a Jagdpanther too way before the DoD:S beta came out but never finished it. I thought the limit for map models was lower but as the Tiger tank model proved, thats not the case. I was aiming for about 8000 polys hence the wheels looking a bit clunky.

And yes, its not smoothed yet.

looks nice anyway :) pitty we could somehow alter time for you so that you could get these things all done in next to no time :)

NOOOOOOO!!!!

You MUST port that burnt out Kubelwagen for use in DOD:S !!! Daaannngg that is sooo perfect for the game!

Only thing that could possibly make it any sweeter was if the open door was mounted on a hinge point (very possible and easy in Source) and and the window was destructable.

God forbid you could actually shoot out the remaining tire. I think I would faint from rapture. Okay I'm done with my fantasy now :D

that would indeed rock one's socks.
