In short these mods remove various details on the stock textures that depict the units being part of a specific formation. This pack in particular focuses on the vehicles and uniforms of the British Army in Combat Mission Battle For Normandy. The mod is probably not compatible with vehicle and uniform texture mods from other authors. For the longer version about the mods continue reading.
The pictures above illustrate the reason I decided to create these. The game uses the same textures for some soldiers/vehicles no matter the formation (or sub-formation) they belong to. And so the markings on a soldier/vehicle tend to not match with what your unit information panel states. Should you have some knowledge about the manner in which the British Army marked their vehicles and uniforms then you probably have noticed other similar conflicts with them also.
Seeing my gunners and sappers appearing the same as the infantry annoyed me. But I was otherwise content with the stock uniform/vehicle textures. The only practical solution seemed to be to remove any such identifying markings from the textures. So that’s what I did. Now with this mod it is just the names given in the unit information panel that try to depict whom your soldiers/vehicles are, and nothing in the 3D view should contradict that.
- Formation Badges Removed From Uniforms
- Arm Of Service Strips Removed From Uniforms
- Shoulder Titles Removed From Uniforms
- Cap Badges Removed From Uniforms
- Tactical Signs (Coloured Shape and Vehicle Number) Removed From Vehicles
- Arm Of Service Signs Removed From Vehicles
- Battery Signs Removed From Vehicles
- Bridge Rating Signs Added To Some Vehicles
- War Department Numbers Have Not Been Added Or Removed
Notice any units continuing to show markings that can identify them as an particular formation then let me know what I missed.
Your sappers have bigger problems than the wrong badges – looks like they’ve got Blanco No. 61 and they’d be much better off with a good coat of KG3…
Nice mod. This would also be very useful if it could be used in CMFI (hint). thanks for taking the time to make and publish this.
It’s posted. Sorry about delay. Realised I missed some units also had trouble uploading. I’ve not play tested the CMFI one as much as the CMBN one so may be some more missing.
Thanks for also doing the CMFI mod. Very nice.
