Theese uploads completes the Sdkfz 6/3 Diana release... The big unit portrait is also included, made from a good internet image.

[guille1434]

And at last, the base Icon and mask for the Sdkfz 6/3...
Enjoy!

PS: Corrected/improved the images a little bit, see the previous post about the Sdkfz 6/3 where I included the last version of the base icon and mask. Thanks!!

Very good, but did you notice that when the motorcycle faces left, there isn't any machine gun?

It is the same with a stock unit.

[cammel]

The machine gun is there.If you zoom in you can see the light grey line that goes from the bottom of his chin and runs out to just under the front fender.

[guille1434]

Indeed, Glenn, if you zoom the image, you will see an one pixel width grey line... This is the MG barrel, but it is not visible in normal scale because it is overimposed on the other part of the icon...
By the way, its good you visited this thread, because I just "discovered" that in my "pending" icon works, there was the Renault AGR truck you asked for sometime ago...

A little late, but here you (and everyone) have the Renault AGR 3.5t truck, in light brown (vanilla game for French units), bluish scheme (frenchies "What if" unit pack) and German grey (as they used some captured trucks). Base icon and mask included.

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making this unit...Enjoy!

And now... A request for help from this expert community...
I noticed this game was missing Heavy AA guns for the french, so I looked for some stuff to work with and make some icons... I found two good candidate images, one is the 75 mm Mle.1932 AA Gun, but I found another very good icon, but I could not identify it (I suppose it is a french made gun), could someone give me that info? I attach the photo of the Model 1932, and the drawing for the other "mistery" gun...
Thanks!!!

[guille1434]

And now, another truch which was missing from this fabulous game... The Lancia 3RO 4x2 6.5 ton heavy truck. Used by the Italians in the war as a transport, and also as a basis for some very interesting self-propelled weapons... (Hint of what is about to come!). I include a green colored icon, a desert colored one, a SE desert camouflaged icon, those in open flatbed and canvas covered variants. Also the base icon and mask for the DCS program. Enjoy!!

Hi guille, those are beautiful trucks! And for the mystery gun, that looks to be a Japanese Type 88 75mm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_88_75_mm_AA_Gun. If I google for the name I even get the same image. The giveaway for me was the fact that the carriage has five legs, very uncommon...

As for the French guns, that is a very confusing mess of types. The best info I have comes from David Lehmann, who wrote some very good descriptions of French weaponry and military organisation.

Here is the French 75mm AAm36

There are several units in the AT and AA Mod that are not in the forum.

[guille1434]

Thanks guys! I HAVE to give a closer look at what icon goodies are in the AT and AA mod!!

[guille1434]

Taking the 75mm AA mle.36 icon gently posted by Razz, I did the complete bundle of this unit... You can see it in AA, direct fire (AT), and artillery modes, in regular game French light brown color scheme, and in a blue-gray color scheme (giving it a more distinct look). Base Icon and mask for DCS software are included. Enjoy!

[guille1434]

Another heavy AA unit which was missing... The Italian Cannone da 75/46 CA M34... designated 7,5cm Flak 264/3(i) by the Germans when used it.
I include the unit in regular italian brown colour, a camouflaged SE scheme, and a grey german unit, base icon and mas also included. This switchable unit was made in AA, AT and artillery modes. I hope someone can find good use for it!

[guille1434]

Another heavy AA unit for the Italians, present in the game, but represented by a Soviet (!) and a german icon. Here is the icon for the Cannone da 90/53 M41c, switchable to AA, AT and Artillery modes, in the following schemes: Italian plain brown, Italian SE camouflaged and German grey.
As always, enjoy this release, and feedback is wellcome!

[Uhu]

Again really nice work! I'm already reconsidering that maybe some of the new Italian unit icons find their way into the Italian Campaign 2.0... It is not automatic because I have to adjust the attack animations for that and right now I'm full in the making of the Hungarian Zrínyi Campaign but still they are too good icons not to use them so I will take my time...

[guille1434]

Uhu: No problem, I am closely following your progress in the new project, and I am looking forward to get the finished mod. Feel free to use any unit you see in this thread. About the animations, I think the ones and the sound for the German 8,8 cm Flak could be readily used, at least till more accurate ones are made or found...


PS: I have some more italian units in the pipeline, mainly self propelled guns, so stay tuned!

[guille1434]

Now, the turn for another unit made switchable, that was present in PG, but not in PzCorps... So, we are filling a hole here. The Sdkfz 6/2 self-propelled 3.7 cm Flak gun.
Included are the usual camo schemes variants and the base icons and masks for the AA and direct fire versions of the unit.

[guille1434]

This unit was made heavily based on the icon provided by Flakfernrohr, and detailing it with parts taken from the Pzkpfw E-50 made by Chuchlakecity... The FlakPz E-50 5,5 cm Flakzwilling, a switchable unit (AA and direct fire), in the usual array of camo schemes, and including its base icon and mask.
Enjoy!

[Razz1]

Here's what I use for the Italian 75mm AA
