New Projekt: Phcas & AKRebels "PAK"-Mod - RELEASE v3.40

[phcas]

Like you can see on the picture aircrafts and tank units can have numbers to indentify them. If you look at the Big pictures of a unit you will see the unic unit flags. If to many people do not like the infantry flags we have to think about it again.
In this picture you see a lot of infantry units with the same flags thats because things are not finished.

The infantry flags reminds me of Napoleonic Wargame :

Maybe, you could create a version with and a version without the flags ?

We are going to think about this issue. We can make a option for units without a flag (much much work!) like yes or no gun crews. But if the flags are gone the effect of unic units is gone with the infantry. I think it is a big issue. I will think about it and discuss it with AKRebel today.

AKRebel,

Thank you for your kind words. As a side note, I need to say that what you have already done when it comes to "Polish units" is encouraging and there is no precedent in previous mods.

If you asked about any other and evenetual Polish units, let mi dare to suggest, e.g. some artillery equipment like Skoda 10 cm vz 14/19 ( https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_cm_hau ... %C5%A0koda ) and Skoda 22 cm hovitzer vz. 28 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skoda_220_mm_howitzer ). Of course, I realize how much it costs to prepare the appropriate icons of these units, so it's just a more of suggestion. An additional benefit would be that, for example, the Skoda 22 cm, after their capture by the Red Army in September 1939, was used during the Winter War against Finnish forces defending on the Mannerheim Line. As a consequence, it could be used also as a part of Soviet roster

But much more important was the following equipment: "Anti tank rifle wz. 35" (please see below for details). I think it can be said that it is one of the symbols of the Polish Army equipment during the Fall Weiss operation. Moreover, I think that preparing an appropriate icon would not be a great challenge for you

Again, thanks for your work and determination!

Hello guuzidi, here are the desired units. Did you imagine it that way? Further wishes?
I think phcas will expand the gun with gun crews

Hello AKRebel,

Looks great, chapeau bas!

Further wishes? I would not dare! Poland has already received a lot of attention from your side.

If I may ask, what is the next part of your agenda? Implementation of French units or something has changed?

[glaude1955]

A mod full of promise, thank you PHCAS and AKRebel,
By cons, I think it is better to avoid the flags for the infantry. OK for the parade but for the fight ...
I am a fan of the vanilla aspect for the game interface.
At each mod you do, I restore the old interface (thank you JSGME). I did the same with the DMP mods (which I recommend by the way).
All this to tell you to continue, I will adapt thereafter (we can not please everyone)
Thank you for your work and again a big congratulations.
PS: I love big cards.

Best regards
Yves

I think this one is the favorite of me and AKRebel. The only drawback is that with a lot of units together it get a bit of "busy" look. If thats accepteble for you I will change thousands of units this way. (Don't tell us we are not nice ) And we can delete all infantry flags. It's up to you forum.

Looks good. Is it weird that I look forward to this mod more than Panzercorps 2?

[lennis29]

In this mod we try to put in as much unic units as possible. I tried in the past little badges below the units like Lennis showed. But if every unit gets a little badge under it you will get a very restless and busy view on the battle field. A second problem of little badges under the units is that this badges are smaller than the flags that makes some badges unrecognizable because they have te be reduced in size to much.

Like you can see on the picture aircrafts and tank units can have numbers to indentify them. If you look at the Big pictures of a unit you will see the unic unit flags. If to many people do not like the infantry flags we have to think about it again.

I really don't know what to say, because working designing the units is a lot of work, it's something you do for love, because you like it, but we also have to understand the hours of work that it costs you to change the design.
but try to do something by putting the badges down, just try a couple of units and upload it to see how they look.

Looks good but what is the purpose of the left box which is often empty apart from the presence of binoculars from time to time ?
Binoculars = Reco unit ?

test100.jpg (16.7 KiB) Viewed 2597 times

Yes the left box is used to see the category of (special) units. Binoculars for Recon. Navy Mines for minelayer ships. Kamikaze for V1 rockets and units that will not return. Anchor for the Fw-200 and anti-shipping planes. Torpedo for Torpedoplanes. Moon for nightfighters etc.

To keep the plate symmetrical it is empty when it is a normal unit.

[terminator]

Looks good.
For PROTOTYPE, you could use the abreviation PROTO ?

the French units are finished for the time being, maybe we will add one or the other unit, actually I was already expanding the British units. At the moment we are more on the fine tuning of the Poland-Scenario. For example, the Polish armored trains were not complete, but the research and then the creation cost me several days and hours in Summe. But the result can certainly be seen.
