Yes it’s always been there. Edit a single line in XML file and you can give suspensions a different model. And if the new track segment has the same length as the other one, you can even reuse their spline definition.

And there’s also an easy alternative for the HD model if u’r running under ‘improved’ graphic. Remove “splineDesc” node under stock chassis paragraph in the xml file (panther for example, scripts/item_defs/vehicles/germany/pzv.xml) will force game to use the 8.x format track for the stock one, and still use new HD tracks for the elite one. Under normal circumstance the 8.x old tracks are only used for client running under ‘standard’ graphic setting.

If you look really close on the panther an jagdpanther, the elite tracks are a little bit rounded on the part that comes in contact with the ground, the stock ones are flatter.

The system’s been there for as long as I’ve been file diving, it’s just that only now they’ve started messing with it. Since it’s from the test server, I’m guessing that’s just a little something that’s been experimented with internally, and somehow fell through the cracks, with the actual track models being way further down the road…

No, Tiger and Sheran have also the same tracks, just with more/less links, so it looks like it’s different

There’s definitely a change in track design for the Sherman and the Tiger, but the Panther & Jagdpanther changes are just positional.

Well, the whole point isn’t that they look different (because its obviously just a modelling error) but rather that there are different models for each track module AT ALL. Because why would you even attach the modules to an in-game entity and give it variations unless you are planning to make actual different track models. If they were planning to keep the same tracks for every single tank in the game, they could have spared themselves the resources separating the module models.

Oh ok, rarely see it and never noticed the HD-esness of the thing…
