Hey guys! Anyone can tell me about a good site to upload files? I.e. one that does not bother you with registration, etc... and better still, that WORKS (gamefront lately is a shit). I tried FileDen (with registration) and is also crap. Anyone using a reliable service? Thanks!!

[bebro]

I dunno if there's a good one without any registration; I'm using MediaFire besides Gamefront, and I'm quite satisfied with it. But it has registration too...

I just discovered that Amazon.de gives any (registered) customer 5GB for file storage, but at least so far without the option to share the files, which is quite absurd.

[guille1434]

Bebro: yes, I opened an account in Media Fire, seems to work all right. A shame Game Front has troubles... Thanks!

guille1434: the new link works fine, thanks mate, great job!

[4kEY]

well, I suppose it isn't that big a deal. It just looked awful strange. Do you know what kind of range and accuracy could the 88 L/71 pull off when at max elevation (nashorn)?

[guille1434]

leo55: Glad to be helpful!

4Key: I dont know for sure... Maybe a longer range of the gun max ceiling when firing in AA mode (I think more or less 13000 m), and then substract something because of the low elevation angle allowed by its mounting in the Nashorn. In PzCorps scale, may be it is safe to give this vehicle in arty mode a range of two hexes... I cannot say a word about accuracy, but it would be similar to other guns firing in indirect fire mode.
And yes, it looks strange... I could not find photos of the vehicle with the gun at max elevation. It seems like it was seldom used as an indirect fire gun...

[Razz1]

umm.. I have one.

[guille1434]

Nice photo... and very nice camo scheme! Thanks!

[Razz1]

Note the maximum elevation of the gun.

[guille1434]

Ok! Taking as reference the photo posted in this thread, I modified the Base Icon and mask of the Nashorn in artillery mode. Now the barrel is not elevated in excess.
Here are included: The base icon and mask to use in the camo Sprayshop software, and also a unit pack, with the icon in SE and SS Elite Units mod schemes, and also in standard PzCorps grey & desert colors.

[guille1434]

Ok, now the focus shifts to towed artillery...
For the perfectionists here, I corrected the icon for the 15 cm sFH 18, because the one provided with the game had some imperfections in the middle part of the barrel (some pixels were missing). So, you can just replace the vanilla game icon with the present one...

[guille1434]

The turn now for British artillery... Here is a pack with the base icon and mask for the 17 Pdr At gun, both in AT and artillery modes. I include also the British icon for this gun in artillery mode...

2012-11-26 Edit: The base icon, mask and British icon in artillery mode are now with the correct maximum barrel elevation.

[guille1434]

And here are the icons for the 17 pdr gun in german colors (that would be a captured unit) in AT and artillery modes.

2012-11-26 Edit: The icon for this gun in artillery mode is now with the correct maximum elevation of its barrel.

[Razz1]

Does anyone have any links to the use of the 17 pounder AT as an artillery piece?

[guille1434]

The 25 pounder gun: Base Icon & mask for the Camo Sprayshop... and the British icon for the gun in AT mode.

[guille1434]

And now the 25 pr in german hands... I could not confirm it, but I read somewhere that the germans named this gun as FK 280 (e). I attach the icons in AT and artillery modes.

[guille1434]

Coming back to AA weapons... Here is the Flakvierling quad 20 mm AA gun. This icon is based in the rework made by ThvN, which is a big improvement compared to the original game icon. Here you will find the base icon and mask for the Camo Sprayshop program, ans also a unit "pack" with the four customary schemes: Grey, SE, SS, and desert. All of them in AA and AT modes...

[guille1434]

Here is the base icon and mask for the soviet 25 mm AA gun M1940, in AA and At modes.

[guille1434]

Here is another AA unit, the 2 cm Flakdrilling on the Sdkfz 251 chassis... This icon is based on the work by Flakfernrohr, who made a very interesting unit.
Included are the Base Icon & mask, and the unit "pack" with the four normal schemes.

Cheers!
