Birgeria's new PZC units

[Birgeria]

In summer 1943, the Romanian IAR factory converted one of their IAR-81C fighter (Serial number 326), with a DB605 engine. The performance was much improved. However, German cannot support sufficient number of the DB605 engine and this most powerful IAR-81 was never went into mass production phase.

Improved icons of the Russian 76.2mm M1931 AA gun.

Great, thank you very much.
I will add this variant in the coming update!

BT-7A tank with a long barrel 76.2mm F32 gun.

Interesting.
Would it be possible to also have the normal BT-7A, with the 76mm KT howitzer instead of the F32 experiment?
With the 76mm KT the BT-7A could have two graphics, to switch between tank and arty mode.
Eg providing close fire suppoert, like those short barrel StuG III.

I shaped him from what I had ) And what I had was an English cannon, a Soviet tank, and Finnish thinking )))

I have the BT-7A icons from the PAK mod.

Wild, how many tank experiments were made in those few years.

Ah, thank you, I often forget to check there for non german units.


And thank you also for the captured Panther with the mixed paint.
It will be an interesting upgrade option for the Soviet Corps captured Tiger.

Red Army Panther tank! The Red Army captured a few dozens of the Panthers during 1944. Some of them were gathered into the 62rd Guard Tank Regiment and 51st Independent Motorcycle Regiment. Due to the shortage of the green paint. Only the turret of the panthers were painted in the "Soviet Green", while the other part were still in the DunkelGelb color.

There is nothing surprising about such experiments; for centuries, armies have been seizing captured equipment and attempting to adapt it to the needs of their own forces! All the more so because, at times, other nations’ developments showed the way forward for their own science and highlighted where a line of research had reached a dead end. Rich countries could afford to spend on such experiments; the rest either copied them or made do with whatever they could get their hands on. Nowadays, this is called commercial espionage.

Don’t even think about leaving your tank near the Romanian Roma – they’ll turn it into a self-propelled gun )))
