KnightFandragon if you have a hard time making skin i have some free time to make you some and can post a download link here because is my skin.

[KnightFandragon]

Im working w/ Paint.net atm. Havent tested alot w/ it past darkening tank skins w/ some levels settings. Only tank skin ive done so far is that 6th Guards one I have posted wherever it is and that was as simple as adding white lines to an already done ingame skin haha....no real skill involved in that one, which is why I did it:-P

[SpeedWolf]

i upload my skin and i also add a help text for people who want to make there own skin.

to download it go to my youtube channels and look for (GEM EDITOR - SKIN EDITING).

i don't post any link here because is have ban German logo in my video.

Nice, gotta love the Totenkopf King Tiger.....or however you spell that

[kane1]

That's cool!!

[KnightFandragon]

On a random note.....what is up w/ this editor pulling random errors out of thin air?? I am trying to make a new version T34...the T34_43. Ive made like in excess of 20 other versions of tanks, 2 versions being different T34's, using the same method and they all worked. However this time I made this T34 M43 following all the same steps it decides it wants to give me some entitySpawn error and crash. Its like seriously, why does it do that......?:confused:

american MG on russian tank?!

[KnightFandragon]

Excellent, after some more guess work and looking at other tank file's MDL's to see thier setup I got the visor on my KV6 =D The one and only other thing to do is get its engine to sound to something like the Pz6B or T29......

[LawL LawL]

Interesting, I'd like to try this myself, and find a way to put a dozen MGs on a train and drive-by a company of enemies :P. But correct me if I'm wrong, didn't KV tanks not have AA mgs, but only Hull and Coaxial ones? As for the ''ban logos'' im pretty sure the Wehrmacht and even the SS didn't run around bearing the Swasstika, they each had their seperate insignias, Iron Cross and runic SS I think it was.

[KnightFandragon]

Exactly, the KV didnt have an AA MG and that is why I decided to figure out a way to get it on there. I played w/ the T34 alot in the editor and found out it had butter armor and a crappy gun, then I tried the KV1 found it had crappy gun but good armor. Then once I started testing it I found out that the lack of a AA MG made it gawd awful vulnerable to infantry attacks and figured that since this tank has good armor I just need a better gun and a AA MG to make it a perfect tank......In game atleast

[Korsakov829]

In game it would be good but, it just destroys it for me. I got a whole photo album of KV-1, KV-1c, KV-2, KV-6, KV-8, KV-8c, KV-85, KV-14, and alot more and none of them have a MG on top. I'm pretty sure the whole KV series has no mounted MG on top of the turret.

To get a MG on top in real life you would have to make it the size of a IS3 or King Tiger, just to fit it which would involve changinge of the armor and improving the engine along with other things.

If you want new tanks in the KV series, talk to the ghost of Klim Voroshilov.

[KnightFandragon]

Well surely I cant talk to Voroshilov(thought it would be fun...have him make a new KV) and idk how to work any 3DS Max Studios or anything so messin w/ .def and .mdl files was the only way I knew to get the MG haha. Surely it gives me the effect I was going for. but why would the turret need to be soo much bigger like Is3 or King Tiger? Is the slot for the gun and the ammo that big? O.o And there already is a KV6? Thats no fun haha...I wound up renaming mine to the KV6-K....meh no fun

[Korsakov829]

There wouldn't be enough room for the crew and it would make the armor on one side of the turret weak. Plus there is no where on top of the turret for it to fit so you would have to make it as heavy as a King Tiger and T29 put together. Once its big enough using the engine (600 HP) would not be enough to move such a weight. And while your at it I sure doubt the suspension would hold out. If you make it perfect enough and it works, all you get is something that sinks in the mud, costs so much to make the world bankrupt in a few years of full production.

A top MG wasn't added for a reason. If you did add one, you would end up with something like a heavy panther.
