OK guys, I've updated the Fi-156 Storch, so if anyone's interested, grab it and tell me if you like the new version

Also, I would like to give credits to VPaulus for finding a very cool .wav file for the Storch airplane movement sound.

That's better but you can not see the German insignia very well.

Yes, a much needed supplement to the game IMO. You did a great job too. If you are adept at making icons, I have a few ground units I would like to see someday. Thanks for the contribution to the game. FLAK

Thanks everyone. I am glad you liked it. About the barely visible insignia, I saw it was hardly recognized, but in the end I don't think it's that big of a problem. I can try to amplify the white color on it and update the plane for the 3rd time once I put more German units on the web.

Thanks Flak, I find it very useful for reconaissance as well. Anyway, which units would you like to see in-game? Maybe I can be of assistance.

Well.....................Here is a list and you can find excellent technical drawings for reference of them at this website: http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/Files/1-V ... -Armor.htm

SdKfz JgPzr 162 IV/70(A)
SdKfz JgPzr 162 IV(A) with 8.8cm PAK 43
Panther II schmallturmm (a genuine icon & not a regular Panther) 8.8cm L/71 gun
JagdPanther II with 12.8cm PAK 80 gun
E50 Standard Panzer schmallturmm (tank-not a tank destroyer) 8.8cm L/71 gun
E75 Tiger III with 12.8cm KwK L55 gun
E100 Tiger-Maus with Krupp turret and 12.8cm KwK L55 gun
PzKfz 166 Brummbar with 15.0cm Stu 43 L12 gun

You don't even need to do exotic skinning either, just a plain Dunkelgelb or Dunkelgrau base color is fine

Thanks for asking and offering!

I'll share with everyone if you do them.

Is it possible to add the Storch w/o creating a mods folder,so that it will be able to be used in the vanilla campaign and dlc's?

I believe it's quite usable in official campaign. Just activate the mod and you should see the Storch in your unit list under "fighter planes" category.

Uhh, that's a good list of units, and very interesting ones I must say. I will see what I can do about it, I don't have much free time but if I find good sources with these units I will make sure to transfer them into PzC.

BosDragon, there are great pictures and renderings of these individual AFV at this website in the link. Since most of them are "paper" or "design" based Panzers, you will probably not find many (if any) pictures or much information on the units that were not actually in production. The game lacks an Alkett version of the Jgdpanzer IV 70(A). It had a unique profile just like the Brummbar that Alkett also produced. These units would "add years to the war" so to speak and the Panzers could keep on fighting.

Ok,,I'll try a different path and see what happens.

BINGO.

Sorry VPaulus,,I did follow the guide,but I thought (I know,,I know ex/old Airborne should not think,,it isn't one of our strong suits

)
that I could put the enabler into the PZC folder also.

I made a seperate folder in prgram(x86) and went from there.

Problem rectified,,,thank you very much for the help and the timley response

No problem.
Not an ex-Screaming Eagle, per chance?

My pleasure, sir. One of my favourite units, if one can say such a thing.
Maybe I've seen too much Band of Brothers.

Thank you,sir.

The pleasure is mine

Anybody who likes the 101 is ok in my book

I'm very proud of my service and very,very proud of my Division and it's history.

P.S.
you never can get enough of Band of Bothers

Wow, it's my honor that someone like you uses my in-game modifications. And you probably won't believe it, but I'm watching Band of Brothers these days. What a coincidence!

P.S. I'm glad you succeeded to install the mod properly.
