Wire units - BiteNibbleChomp's WW1 mod has some.
Tank traps/dragons teeth - I have some but am having trouble loading the image at the moment. Available in exchange for image uploading advice!

A German Kriegsmarine Infanterie icon (in 1939 and upgraded 1943 versions), useful as a complement for the "Kriegsmarine Nation" mod recently uploaded... With this unit, you can occupy ports and cities for the Kriegsmarine allowing to buy/repair/upgrade its units...

For the Soviet side there are 2 missed artillery icons.
I would like to add them to the mod.
But I could not find them anywhere.

152mm ML-20 M1937 produced 6000+
its about of 50% of all Soviet 152 mm towed arty.

76.2mm Mountain M1938 produced 1000+

I think its much more then 2.
For 152 mm, its also missed 152 mm Howitzer 1943 (D-1) (1057 pcs until 1945).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/152_mm_ho ... 1943_(D-1)

For 122 mm, its 122 mm gun M1931/37 (A-19) (1255 pcs at 22.06.41)
In a fact, this gun make a first shoot to Berlin 20.04.45
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/122_mm_gu ... /37_(A-19)

This is in the inferno mod.
And now in my mod too

Thanks for info. I got it.

But icon for 152_mm_howitzer_M1943_(D-1) -wrong.
Without muzzle brake !
Then, for 76.2 mm missing arty:
76 mm regimental gun M1927 (4700 psc at 21.06.41)

76 mm regimental gun M1943 (5000+)

Back to the advanced aircraft department... As the current icons, in my opinion, did not showed the accurate lines of the real aircraft (the vanilla game did not look right, and Bebro's one while being much better, either had the "bat" look of this strange interceptor), I found a good scale model photo in internet and made a new icon out of it... I like the result. Again, in my opinion, it looks more like the real thing... This is a first, "factory painted" unit, I plan to release a grey base icon and its mask later for allowing anyone to paint this aircraft in any scheme... There were some bright red Komets that were very eye-catching, ideal for a SE unit...

I hope you like it also!

Here is a missing gun for the Soviet artillery park, the 152 mm M1937 (ML-20) howitzer, asked by Intenso82... Here, you can see the indirect fire version, but I will also upload a complete pack, includin its base icon and mask, and, of course, the direct fire version of this gun... Also, as they shared the same carriage, I will make its little brother, the 122 mm A-19 gun. Stay tuned!

By the way... Some days ago, this thread hit the 200 000 views mark! I thank to all of you for your contributions and interest in this humble virtual meeting place and also in this fantastic game!!

Really nice work on the ML-20. I too could use the other Soviet guns mentioned above. The more the merrier!

Oh, yes, in fact I have a whole lot of soviet artillery pieces that I want to include or improve in the unit roster (some of them half-way to completion)... Some examples are the A-19 122mm gun, the M1938 and M1943 (D-1) 152 mm Howitzers, the F-22 76 mm gun, the M1938 122 mm howitzer, and some more... You will see them featured here.

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to rearming the Soviet artillery!

And thanks to you for all the nice icons! Many of these found their way to some of the best mods making PzC even better.
And for now, let's just make another 200 000!

McGuba: Yes, I like it when I see "old friend of mine units" in any mod I download... After all, that was the purpose of it all, when I started with this thread in Aug 2012!!

Thanks! And as you said, we are going for another 200 000 hits!

Thank you for all your work!

Yes, BIG gun.
In mod, I give her a range of 3. This is the highest range. The 152mm M10 has a range of 2.
I'll look for a lighter green camouflage.

It's a good idea to improve other artillery like A19, 152mm D-1, 122mm M30 and 76mm M1936, M1939 and other.
That they should be in the same style.

For example, I use such types of Soviet artillery.
76.2mm M1902/30
76.2mm F-22 M1936
76.2mm USV M1939
76.2mm ZiS-3 M1942
76.2mm Mountain M1938
122mm M1910
122mm M-30 M1938
122mm A-19 M1931/37
152mm M-10 M1938
152mm ML-20 M1937
152mm D-1 M1943
203mm M1931 B4 ofcourse.

But for one gun, I do not have an icon, so I use a temporary wrong one. It looks very strange
It 76.2mm Mountain M1938. I use it in mountain infantry divisions.
Some pics.

An icon for the 76 mm M1943 Regimental Gun... The pack includes icons for the AT and for the indirect fire modes, and also, as a bonus a special template which can be used to add gun crew figures to the gun icon (its use is optional)... Enjoy!

Intenso82: About gun ranges, giving thought to it without evaluating what happens with map scale, game balance, etc... I think that if the German heavy 15 cm howitzer has 3 hexes range in-game, the ML-20 should have 4 hexes... The real weapons had a range of 13 500 and 17 400 m respectively... So, there was a noticeable difference in range between them. Besides, as a fact, historically the Soviets had superior artillery systems compared to the German side, it seemed that Germany could use its guns more efficiently because of better training, doctrine, communications, etc... but on a one on one basis, Soviet guns were better...
