The Finest Hour And Blitzkrieg

[Feuersturm 0]

I was looking at the screenshots, and i was fidning that i like some of the units in The Finset hour, and i think they should be used in Blitz. From what i hear, noy some were going ot be included form the finset hour.

 

1) Their Panzer IV Tank: Looks a little better i think:

(they are the upper right for those who cant tell)

 

2) The Baraks: with a some texturing and a bit of moddling, i think it would look better then the currnt baracks, or maybe used for a different side's baraks so they all dont look the same:

3) supply depot and Blitz truck: i like the Blitz truck moddling and texturing, and i like the idea for a supply depot, so u dont have to rebuild ur command center to get new supplies.:

and the German War factory looks kool:

in my theory, most of theri buildings look much better thna those of blitz. but the units in blitz are much more better than finest hour. i am glad the join forces to create a super mod.

 

more screenshots are located here: http://www.the-finest-hour.net/Pictures/

 

 

i also like their use of the background for the loading screen, and how they balanced the machinegunners. But i am not asking for these to be implemented in blitz, as i know how every1 hates that word. I am jsut complimenting you guys on a job well done, and shwoing others the joy of the game. i think you should download the demo :D: http://www.the-finest-hour.net/downloads/TFHSetup.exe

 

note: i just downloaded the demo, and i lvoe how well its plays. i also like the unit icons. i LOVE THEM. one tip USE THE ICONS IN BLITZ :D :D :D

 

this is a post i put on antoehr topic, might as well put it here as no-one will find it there:

 

"Quote from firestorm, some other topic: "

hmm, i was actually rethinking my curent position. one night i sat there laying in bed, then it came across me.

 

make the machinegunners do the same damage as riflemn, and have the same range, health, firespeed, ect.

 

that way, it makes the people who want them pleased, and those who dont like it cant complain, becasue there is no real difference, jsut the sound and actions it takes. And using it this way wont disirupt the balance of pwoer in anyway. Why didnt i think of this before? becasue the threat of being banned sorta banned it from my mind. But seeing the recent uprising of thought, i said heck, might as well make a last ditch effort to save the idea. anyone explain to me why the idea explaijed above cant work?

First thing I'd like to rule out is the Panzer IV.

I made both the TFH and Blitz 2 panzers. Model-wise they are very similar, texture-wise they are very different. TFH's texture would make the tank look out of place.

Whoa, some nice models there :D

 

And I really like TFHs idea of using APCs :D

I'd kinda like to see the Goliath.

Mmm... Kamikaze death bots...

 

Yes, I know they were impractical, but then again, isn't a 188-ton tank that moves at 12MPH and is easily wiped-out by aircraft impractical? I think Goliaths would be fun, like maybe make it a drone that German Officers could create.

[FECrtn2 0]

I put a lot of faith into fast versatile tanks.... :P

 

And wasnt the Goliath a tiny remote controlled tank? I think it was.

[Zero_Point 0]

Tiny remote-controlled tank, yes... but with a few hundred pounds of high-explosives built in. IF it could reach the target, it could do some serious damage.

188 ton ot kilos? ;)

[Zero_Point 0]

Tons. That's 2000 lbs. * 188.

[FECrtn2 0]

What?

What are you taking about?

The Goliath or what?

Cuase the Goliath was really light, one soldier could carry it, ok maybe 2 but its not more than a ton!

[Biohazard 0]

He's reffering to our rodent buddy

 

 

 

One reason we're not using all these TFH units right away is because though they're pretty, they're horrendously inefficient for the most part, with a tank perhaps having four or five unique 512x512 textures, buildings with a dozen textures or more, and don't even ask about polys...

[Zero_Point 0]

I was talking about it's impracticallity vs. the impracticallity of the Maus, a tank weighing 188 tons and moving at a blistering 12 MPH.

 

Better?

 

And, Goliath actually had a three man crew I think... they carried it on a miniature rick-shaw of sorts to the combat zone, dumped it off, turned it on, and drove it to the target. Of course, it was wire-guided, so it's a no-go in the woods, and it was slow enough to where an enemy tank could sit there and think "Here now, what's all this then?" and drive away. But, if they were able to catch a tank off-guard...
