Beta 1
Changes:
- Panzer III L armored increased to 70mm front and 50mm rear
- Panzer III APCR velocity doubled. It now travels at 1180 meters per second. Due to the high velocity always set your sights to half the range to the target. For example, if your target is 800 meters away you set your sights to 400 meters.
- StuG III armor increased to 50mm at the rear
- Panther reload reduced to 6 seconds
- Panzer IV F1, F2 and H reload reduced to 7 seconds
- Tiger reload reduced to 7 seconds
- 76.2mm F-34 now has realistic penetration. It will no longer penetrate a Tiger side or rear at 1000 meters. Now you must be with in 100 meters.

Wow! That's quite a bit of work, and I know this started with your research on the PzIII. I'm looking forward to trying this somewhere. Thanks.

 

[Rak]

Sounds great, I can't wait to try it

 

[Nimsky]

Many advantages given to the Germans, I hope it doesn't throw off the balance in most maps. But if it's more realistic, good job.

 

[Sichartshofen]

Considering the Germans have no advantages in regular RO, I say it's fine.

 

[Letum]

:d Kv1-e???

Party Time! :d

 

[Jono]

Very nice

 

[Jono]

oopss double post

 

[Jhaxavier]

Well, what are you ###th Tank Division guys waiting for? Put this mutie on your servers nowz!

 

[Field Marshal Rommel]

Love this mutator this is what Ro-armored combat should have been like!

 

[Elysium]

Just a question on these mutators. Can they be applied to my RO and yet I can still play normal maps online without any trouble?

 

[Sichartshofen]

The mutator will only work with a server that is hosting it or you can turn it on in practise mode. It changes nothing in the actual game files.

 

[GS_Schimpf]

Do we have to add it in the RO.ini's ServerPackages on the Server?

 

[Sichartshofen]

No, there are no extra packages.

 

[{2.SS}Hoffmann]

I put it in on my server works fine just. Open up your FTP put the two files in the system folder.Then turn it on in the mutator section of your web admin.I tested it on Lubajankow Scheissbahn Works great. Maybe Arad will have more Axis victories.

So true, well done. I can't wait to try this mutator out.

 

[Sichartshofen]

RGN (216.85.162.76:7757) is now running the mutator.

Yep.... and the Mutator works well. For BOTH Sides. I purposely went Russian to make sure. I did fine. Then I went German and did equally as well.
