RELEASE - StuG III Ausf G - Beta 1

[SchutzeSepp]

awesome tank, RO couldn't be complete without featuring the most used german tank of ww2.
would love to use it in a berlin map, only the early war gun mantlet and the schurtzen make this tank a bit inapropriate for late war maps, any chance of seeing a late war version without schurtzen and with saukopf mantlet? and i think that having spare tracks as supplementary armor protection was discussed before, is that idea defenately dropped? would be a shame, because it seems pretty much every stug was covered with tracks

Not really the non-saukopf verison was still being produced in the late war along side the new saukopf verison. The Side skirts were kept on as long as possible.The only real tweekage needed for a "late war" Stug III ausf G is a coaxial mg ( mg next to main 75mm like on non-assault gun tanks) and a full 360 traverse remote mg for the loader as seen on the page before this.

saukopf verison would be a good add though

ohh i like to see this i know you wont forget this cute baby

Hey guys, hows beta2 going? Any new? Can't wait to try the working MG/saukopf version

 

[Бользен]

Hey guys, what's up with beta2? Any news?

 

[Shurek]

Let's put it this way. This hasn't slipped off our radar.

Both CO and I have lot going on right now; inside and outside the world of RO. We just released the ISU-152 about a week ago, and for a lack of a more eloquent excuse, we're taking a little time to relax right now and enjoy the fruits of our labors.

However, we'll be back with a vengeance very soon.

The ISU needs some additional code work and the StuG needs a few toys added here and there, and after that we'll be happy to call them "final".

 

[Бользен]

Great news! keep it up!

 

[mlespaul]

...and the StuG needs a few toys added here and there, and after that we'll be happy to call them "final".

I'm assuming the SflZF gunsight reticle is also on the list of toys to be added (I hope)

I patiently await the day when that old ZF20 from the old US Army TM manual is long gone from all server Stug models..sigh....*rants*

Play at AB servers, it's fixed there. BTW any updates on the development?

Our beta one Ausf G (non-AB) release carried the SflZF sight. No fixing is/was necessary for our model...TW's stock StuG III F/8 needed the fix.

As for an update, I'm working away on my map...trying to get a release ready in the next couple of weeks. CO is taking a hiatus right now, so I can't speak for him.

hunh.....then I must be doing something wrong...I must not be getting your model....only one AB server ever shows up on my list...I'm getting the new minionworkz map on the meatgrinder server (and it looks stupendous!!)..but the main gun optic on the stug I'm getting are stock.....I really am a big old dummy with all this mod and server nfo....I'll just RTFM again....and I registered with Ahz forum...I'm just using the internet list that flows down on RO...it's pretty unsatisfying...most of the ones on the list that come down for me are always playing the same old stock stuff all the time...

 

[Shurek]

Yes, you are correct, I forgot to mention that the StuG III-B from the new AHz pack also carries the old reticle. But that's not us. Neither Amizaur or I have officially released the AB version of our Ausf G yet, so you may be seeing some sort of "rip off" version. Anything is possible in the world of RO. But I can assure you that our original beta one release does have the correct reticle and it will be maintained for the beta two release

Ah, so.. *sigh of relief and understanding*...I'm not crazy.......just old and crabby...thank you, brother.

I realize now I was playing lyeskrovy or klin from the minionworkz server (meatgrinder) and everything was beautiful except THEIR Stug still has the stock TW sight.....I get it now....it's going to be fixed too eventually I guess (shrug).
...but the Stug driver optics (KFF) are astoundingly beautiful - the impression of the actual reflective glass prism ("glowback") is amazing, all the optics should be like that..
i keep confusing MWz with AHz-i think. It's so hard keeping all the players straight....like I said...old and crabby. lol

Mlespaul: if you would like to forward the sight image to Teufelhund, he may have time to work it in. I know you guys have traded info and such so just PM him and see what he says. I didn't realize that you may have a source that is more accurate.

MinionWorkz is a new "entity" which we formed and will be going forward in the future as. The "After-Hourz" tag really isn't representative of our work group with RO but AHz is still a huge supporter providing free test servers and more for us. So that's why it's "MinionWorkz: sponsored by After-Hourz.com".

Teufel started the vehicle pack under the AHz name so he just stuck with that. Hope that clears it up.

Thanks Slyk, that helps perfectly. And I just forwarded the images to Teuf just now.
Again, I echo the positive sentiments of everyone here that you guys are doing awesome work!

Status of final release?

 

[Shurek]

Probably during the course of April...*fingers crossed*. This one needs a bit more work than the ISU final, thus the later release date.

 

[Бользен]

Probably during the course of April...*fingers crossed*.

So that means a working MG/saukopf version?

(please, say - yes )

 

[panzercommander]

How is this coming? Maybe something soon?

 

[Foo'bar]

I just wanted to say that both the StuGIIIG and B versions are available on latest RO-AlteZiegelei_b61. Just visit our [E.C.]-Servers

Thanks to C/O and Shurek!
