I think I may now have to re-start work on my British mod.
This is a field modification, not a standardized factory issue design. Basically a SdKfz 10/4 with the 20mm AA gun replaced by PaK. A lot of units in the field combined stuff from components they had available when nothing better was available.terminator wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:41 am 5cm PaK 38 (Sf) auf Zugkraftwagen 1t
I did not see this unit in your Mod(v0.48):
https://weapon.temadnya.com/18354908289 ... voj-vojne/The final Assembly of the nine vehicles was completed by Alkett on December 13, 1941. In the Wehrmacht, the self-propelled unit was designated 7.62 cm F. K. 36 (r) auf Panzerjäger Selbstfahrlafette Zugkraftwagen 5t "Diana" or Selbstfahrlafette (Sd.Kfz.6/3). In January 1942, the SAU arrived in North Africa. The vehicles were transferred to the 605th fighter-anti-tank battalion and participated in combat operations under Rommel's command, starting on January 21, 1942.
Although the TANK destroyer " Diana "was created, as they say," on the knee", was an improvisation of wartime and had a number of significant drawbacks, it performed well against British armored vehicles. In their reports, the Selbstfahrlafette (Sd.Kfz.6/3) commanders noted that at a distance of up to 2000 m, armor-piercing shells confidently hit light tanks and armored vehicles of the enemy. At half the range, the guns penetrate the armor of Matilda Mk.II infantry tanks.
In this regard, the British soon began to avoid using tanks in areas where 76.2-mm self-propelled guns were seen, and heavy artillery and aircraft were actively used to destroy them. As a result of bombing and artillery attacks, all the Selbstfahrlafette tank destroyers (Sd. Kfz. 6/3) were lost by early December 1942 during the battles of Tobruk and El Alamein. The last two vehicles participated in the repulse of the British offensive that began on October 23, 1942. Although no more such installations were officially built, there is reason to believe that other self-propelled guns were created using 76.2 cm F. K. 296(r) guns in front-line tank repair shops using various chassis.

Maybe could be added as a prototype?

Good point, though my primary motivation was to develop them for my own amusement, though I'd not object to sharing them when they work.
The French mod more needs an overhaul to fix some mistakes (map crashes). The BEF one is partly made but a few scenarios are still at concept stage and mainly neeeds a couple of hours assembly and testing.
I got stuck on technical details a while back and then had a big creative block, but the motivation is returning and I'm almost ready to restart. It makes me appreciate how much the PAK team has done.
Don't hold your breath, but there's a growing likelihood something will happen

I have started checking over the vanilla PzC scenarios and editing them for possible play via Pak Mod. A few things came up which you maybe able to help me with.
The US OOB no longer seems to have a bridging engineer or any bridge laying equipment.
Could not find a unit for HMS Hood in British Navy. I know it was an unique vessel but it was the largest British warship of the Royal Navy.
In the purchase screen for units in the original PzC you could not buy structures once you started a scenario, with Pak Mod it is possible to buy and deploy units like strongpoints and bunkers. This would have a big effect on play balance in multiplayer scenarios would make it much harder to capture victory locations. Can they be made no purchase units?
Does the IDS_SCEN_ script in the scenario name do anything in particular?
Thanks
Tony

For changes or questions in the Equipment data you have to ask me.
*It is a error that US bridging engineers are not there. It is fixed in the next update.
*It's already in the mod as Admiral Class 1920. The Hood was one of 4 ordered ships from the Admiral class.
*I will make the bunkers nopurchase in the next update.
Thanks PHCAS
excellent collections
