KV-5 Takom

[Philipp Gross]

Indeed a bizarre design, yet the various KV-4 design studies were even worse. Here's a nice overview by some WOT person: http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php? ... proposals/

And a nice overview with all designs here.

Trumpeter, you listening?

Here are some images of the KV-5. The mud is a little redder than I would have wanted and may go back and adjust it.

Looks great Bryan, mud looks fine as it is.

Thanks guys! Out here in the Colorado, the ground color is way different. The climate is a lot drier so there isn't as much organic matter until you get to the plains so the soil tends to be a lot lighter. We have a lot of granite from the eroding mountain dust that has worked its way into the earth so its also a little sandy. When it snows, it usually melts, or just evaporates, in a few days. So I don't have personal reference for a muddy European country side. Thanks for the input.

I've used Google Street View to determine the appropriate mud colour for various regions. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad sign

I used it to get an idea of terrain and vegetation in the Philippines.

There's an idea for the new website Philipp, in the Resources section we could have a sub section on terrain. Anyone visiting an area could post some representative pics.

Ok then, I'll take a few nice mud photos while I'm over here in Normandy
