Model request "Super Pershing"
« on: March 05, 2012, 05:35:40 PM »
Hello. IS it possible for anyone to make a model of the "Super Pershing". It will basically be pershing with a longer gun, and a few armor plates.

 I would like it suggest something to another mod - but i cant model myself, and that mod doesn't have a modeller. SO i thougt someone here maybe would help?

kinda hard to make a mod without someone who knows their way around autodesk programs, especially when the games made with 3ds max. i suggest searching moddb, every moddler here is kinda busy with either maps or models.

personally i wouldnt mind the presence of a super pershing simply because unlike the germans Wehr mostly, PE to a lesser extent, the basic allied armies dont have a tank capable of operating by itself (excluding inf support).

Was pretty much a prototype/experiment.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Well yes and no, it did operate in Europe in late 1945 and did knock out some tanks. I'm pretty sure somebody had a model of it out there.

From wikipedia:

A single Super Pershing was shipped to Europe and given additional armor to the gun mantlet and front hull by the maintenance unit before being assigned to one of the tank crews of the Third Armored Division. An account of the combat actions of this tank appeared in the war memoir Another River, Another Town, by John P. Irwin, who was the tank gunner. Zaloga described three actions in his book. On 4 April, the Super Pershing engaged and destroyed a German tank, or something resembling a tank, at a range of 1,500 yd (1,400 m). On 12 April, the Super Pershing claimed a German tank of unknown type. On 21 April, the Super Pershing was involved in a short range tank duel with a German tank identified as a Tiger — the German tank bounced a shot off the Super Pershing's extra armor and then was knocked out by the Super Pershing with a shot to the belly. Irwin described the tank as a Tiger but Zaloga expressed skepticism that it was a Tiger. After the war, the single Super Pershing in Europe was last photographed in a vehicle dump in Kassel, Germany, and was most likely scrapped.

But i do not request it to be in the mod BTW. It could be nice, but i would just hear if anyone was capabable of making a model, based on the current pershing?

It would be a bigger gun, and some additional armor plates.

Sorry to say Andreas, but I think there is almost no chance that you will find a talented modeler who has the time to do models on request.  :-\

There's one easy way how you could get it included. Make the model on your own texture & animate it and then PROBABLY we'll take it :P.
