[RO2 Mod] 10th PZ RO Historic Panzer Mod.

[Alan123]

10th Panzer Division Clan Red Orchestra Historic Panzer Mod.

We at the 10PzD clan (www.ro-panzerdivision.de ) have developed a modification to the base Red Orchestra game.

Our clan specializes in tanks and tank maps, our members for the main part are tank enthusiasts.

To this end we have developed big maps purely for tank combat and have been doing so for several years now.

We were not satisfied with the historical performance and appearance of the stock RO tanks. So we set about developing what we have termed a historical mod to make the tanks in RO look more realistic and perform more realistically.

To this end we have:

• Given the entire fleet of tanks, on both sides, authentic camouflage schemes based on historically correct examples.

• Aged and weathered the exterior appearance of the tanks to make them more realistic.

• Enlarged the standard range of stock RO tanks to now include the following tanks that are new to RO: Tiger E (früh), Tiger H (spät), StugIII F/8, StugIIIg, Stug IIIB, Panzer IIIN, Hetzer, Panzer 38t, Panzer IIf, 88mmFlak, King Tiger, Jagdpanther, SU100, SU85, JS1, KV85, lend lease vehicles:Stuart, Matilda, Matilda CS, Valentine IX. There are also more new tanks in the production pipeline.

• The range of tanks also includes captured enemy tanks which are only available in very small numbers and only on the most forward spawn point. These include in German hands the SU85, T34/76, T34/85 and KV2. In Russian hands it is possible to encounter the PanzerIV, StugIII and Panther,

• Made availabe new ammunitation types for many of the vehicles with historically accurate name. This includes Sabot (APCR) ammunition for most tanks known as PzGr40 and 43 (Panzer Granate = Armour Piercing) for the Germans and UBR for the Russians. HEAT ammunition for the Germans called Gr38HL. The ammunition also now has the proper name: AP is now PzGr39, APCR is now PzGr40 and HE is now Gr38.

• The armour, weapon penetration, vehicle speeds, damage, reload speeds, turret rotation speeds, all facets of the vehicle characteristics have been corrected to actual documented historical values. You might notice that we are a German gaming clan and you can bet your boots that this mod has been made with typical German attention to detail and thoroughness. Our historical work is always marked with a (H) in brackets, if the map does not bear this symbol then it a normal RO map offering only an arcade gaming experience.

• Placed these tanks on large purpose built tank maps in three distinct versions for each map. For each of our maps there is or will be a 1941/42 map featuring only those tanks that were available at that time, 1943 maps featuring only tanks available up to 1943 and less of the very early tanks, 1944/45 maps with only late war tanks with the occasional mid or early war tanks making an appearance.

At the moment we have the following maps ready and available to play:

• Kursk(H) 1944/45 (it is only a map name, we know that no battle was fought at Kursk in 1944/45 or for that matter in 1941/42)
• Kursk(H) 1943
• Debrecen(H) 1941/42
• Maslova(H) 1943

With many more being created and added to this range on a regular basis.


This mod with all its features is available to play on our server number 10 called *10.PzD*-#10***Panzer(Hist.)-TDM***[www.RO-Panzerdivision.de with the IP: 212.83.47.127:7757, this server is in Germany and offers good ping speeds to players in Europe.

For players in the USA we have a sister site agreement with the RGN Semper Fidelis Server (RGN "SEMPER FIDELIS" RO Server – 208.75.226.50:7757). On this server you can also find our historic mod maps. Look for and vote for maps bearing the (H) seal of quality, anything else is purely an arcade game experience with little or no relation to historical reality.


Here are some photos and movies from our history mod.

Hello

Real Panzer Expansion (Red Orchestra 1941-1945)




For all true enthusiasts of WW2 tank combat we have made an expansion to RO to make the tanks as historically accurate and true to life as possible so that you can experience the true combat capabilties of the steel giants of the second world war.


Through the improvements and extra characteristics a whole new world of tactical possibilities is now open for players to have an exciting and demanding tank battle experience on the easternt front as part of the Russian Red Army or the German Wehrmacht.

• Real engine sounds.
• Historically correct armour and cannon penetration values.
• Gun optics are historically accurate, with better sights and magnification where relevant. The newer the tank the better the gun sight optics.
• Historically accurate and better looking vehicle skins.
• Machine guns shoot straight and do not shake so much.
• Lots of new vehicles taken from just about all RO mods and expansions.
• Vehicles have front, side and rear armour rating for the hull AND turret. The armour thickness is correct and now includes a parameter for the slope of the armour.
• Most tanks have at least 3 sorts of ammo, those that do not have special rounds like HEAT or APCR have smoke screen rounds.
• New nebenwerferanlage smoke round that lands just in front of the tank and makes a local smoke screen as if the tank had fired its smoker dischargers
• Shells have the correct speed, weight and explosive effect.
• Ammunition is correctly identified.
• Tank shells move at the right speed and no longer have pin point accuracy.
• Vehicles are accessible to crews of both sides so it is possible to capture and use enemy equipment.
• Correct Turret rotation speeds.
• Correct reload times.
• Correct vehicle speeds.
• Damage model now includes damage to tracks (they come off and the tank slews in a circle), optics, turret rotation, gun elevation, individual crew member deaths, engine fires.
• When you climb out of the tank from the turret you stand on the tank.
• No more waiting in the Spawn for additional crew members.

You can find this game on the following server:

Name: *10.PzD*-#02***Real-Panzer***[www.RO-Panzerdivision.de]
Game: Red Orchestra Ostfront 41-45
Address: 95.156.228.83 Port: 7757

And hopefully soon on Mikes RGN server.

Cheers
