[Brazenman]

Hi

Gribowsky G-11, Antonov A-7
Ohhh it would be great !!!

I see that you are drawing a very beautiful model units for Panzer Corps!!!
Thanks!!!

If you have free time, you can turn your attention to the following models of Soviet aircrafts:
Kochyerigin DI-6
Beriev MBR-2
Polikarpov U-2 (PO-2)
Polikarpov R-5
Petlyakov Pe-3
Tupolev TB-3 (ANT-6)
Tupolev DB-3
Ermolayev Er-2
Arkhangelskiy Ar-2

Unfortunately, they are hardly represented in the game...

Hello Brazenman! Thanks for your kind words, and welcome to the forum!

Regarding your wish list, I will try to make as many of those interesting units as possible. Also, I want you to know that I already made an icon for the famous Polkarpov Po-2, and Asuser, in his thread, called "Pimp your icon!" uploaded a very good icon for the Ermolayev Er-2

[Brazenman]

Thanks
Great work!

Wait! I have found some possible (but somewhat "what if") assault gliders for soviet airborne troops... the Antonov A-7 and Gribowski G-11.I think they were only prototypes, but that's enough for me to include them in the PzCorps universe!
Also,a secret Soviet airborne assault weapon, the Antonov A-40!!! New Airborne units coming here!
Akkula: You will be seeing very soon a T-34/85-I and a Soviet mortar units and transports pack very soon, my Rosagasarino friend! jejjejej...

You anticipated me Guille!. I was working on the T-60 glider unit some weeks ago to add it into my big scenario (as a reward unit), but now that you have spotted it I prefer you work on it. If you want I can send you some other photos I found.
Regarding the conventional gliders, wow, I didnt know them. If you have even more time to work on them that would be fantastic

Thanks again.

Best regards.
Horacio.

Hello Horacio!
Thanks for your words! If possible, send those A-40 photos, because I could only find one image which is useful for me...

[guille1434]

Here's a rare unit for the Red Army... The T-34/85-I tank, which was an interim model which mated a T-34 hull with a KV-85 turret. It was produced in limited numbers and issued to some tank guard units.This was made answering a request made by Akkula. In the pack, you will find several icons with different camo schemes, the base icon and mask, and some extras templates (Red Flag, Mixed wheels set --> use this on the gray mask "before" applying the camo paint using the DCS software, and two variants of the auxiliary fuel tanks: green painted and rusted metal color).
I hope you like it!!

[guille1434]

A word to the people who downloaded the last T-34/85-I pack... I updated the uploaded file, because the extra mixed wheels template included in the "Extras" folder, was off-register, so I corrected and re-uploaded the pack...
Sorry!!

[Akkula]

Fantastic job Guille!.
The icon is GREAT, I will introduce it by the next release for sure . Thanks for the pack and the extras, they are most welcome, as always

Saludos!.

[guille1434]

Gracias Amigasigo!!
There is more coming... I was thinking that I would make a couple of variants for the BT-7 light tank, and make it switchable between a tracked and a wheeled mode. This tank was able to move on tracks, or if these tracks were removed, it could move faster (but with less all-terrain mobility) on its wheels. This would make an excellent recon or light marauder unit able to attack rear areas vulnerable targets, like artillery... May be an idea you can use...

Best regards and congratulations for you to keep working on your fantastic mod!!

Requesting re-upload of the Rifleman '39 pack please? The dead link is found here http://www.sendspace.com/file/zx2pcb.

[guille1434]

OK, Shoughie... Here is a new release of the "Rifleman39" pack... with several new units added from minor powers (Slovakia, Hungary), also some new UK units, and another ones reworked. I hope you find it useful.

Here is the link: https://www.sendspace.com/file/hrb6xw

Cheers!!

[Akkula]

THANKS A LOT GUILLE.
Amazing and perfect job with all those infantry icons!. I cant believe I miss that pack until now !
There is no need to say that I will add a LOT of those into future Soviet Storm releases (Germans, Soviets and some minor nations).

Thanks again.

Best regards.
Akkula.

[guille1434]

Hi Akkula!

I am delighted you liked the stuff included in that pack... I did not know that you missed this pack the first time I uploaded it... But now, that problem is fixed. I think you will be glad to know that I have more Soviet Infantry type units pending to be included in the pack, which I plan to upload specially for you as soon as possible...

Cheers!

[guille1434]

Ok, here is a Soviet Rifleman'39 sub-pack... with some Soviet infantry-type units that were missing in the main pack uploaded before... Enjoy!

[Latro]

I'm trying to shop them to a slightly more soviety look.
What do you guys think, shall I continue?

[guille1434]

Hello Latro! I like the improved look of the baggy pants you gave to the Soviet troops, they look more like the real thing... What I would do, also is to give the uniform a tad more greenish tone (I tried using 10 points of the Hue function in Paint. Net). The helmet color is good also, but I would keep the red pixel used to show a little red star on the side of it... I can upload an image sample for you to see, if you like. But, bottom line, I like very much the improved look!
Greetings!

EDIT: Here is a sample... I made some retouches to faces, weapons, etc... Thanks for the improvement idea!!

[guille1434]

Some more units... For the "Rifleman39" mod and also useful for the new Romanian mod project by Nikivdd... Here is a small pack of Romanian infantry units in 1939 and 1942 variants (Infantry, Engineers, Reserve Infantry, Para Troops, Mountain Infantry). Enjoy!

[guille1434]

Here is another old friend reworked... The 7TP light tank...In the pack, you will find the base icon and mask, a standard and SE polish icon, and as requested by Nikivdd, an icon in Romania colors... Enjoy!

[Akkula]

Fantastic, fantastic job my friend!.
Cheers.

[guille1434]

Hi Akkula! I was thinking, that historically the Soviet Union invaded Poland, may be you can use a "Soviet Captured" icon for the 7TP, it is truth that the Soviets already had by this time a lot of T-26 tanks that were equal, or may be better than this model... But, if you think it can be useful for your mod, I will readily make a Soviet variant of this unit...

Well, according to wikipedia, the Soviets captured one 7TP tank, and lookin to a comparison table between early war tanks, the 7TP had better speed than the T-26, their armor was almost the same, and the T-26 had a better gun and a little better range...
