Yes, I always plan to eventually upload masks for every unit I upload... The case for the Katyusha on STZ-5 is more complicated that the majority, because I do not want to face the problem of masking the dense array of launching rails, so those will remain green... But you will be able to "paint" the rest of the vehicle using the DCS software. Back to the tractor, I hope you also can enjoy using the "extras" I included in the form of additional covers, cargo beds, cabin, etc...

Another version of the BM-13-16 on STZ-5, this one with armored cabin... I think the protection was destined to avoid the vehicle taking damage from the rockets exhaust, than from enemy fire...

And is there a captured Opel Blitz in the Soviet stock camouflage?

We have a Dodge 3/4 WC51 Phcas unit.
Can you make it in Soviet stock camouflage?

A Soviet captured Opel Blitz 3ton Truck... This unit is based on a new basic icon, which, in my opinion is a little more detailed than the vanilla game icon... This time, painted in Soviet colors. The pack is complete, with its basic icon, mask and a template with a different model of cargo bed cover... Enjoy!

Nice icons.
We have a problem.
Not all units in my mod look like this.

Thanks Intenso for your nice words! I am glad you like the icons... Well, if the units present in your mod don't like those ones, I will be slowly making them so...

The missing big unit portrait for the STZ-5 tractor...

Well.
Now we have perfect STZ-5
What about next move ? Standart Opel Blitz have 2x4 wheel formula, but about 25 % have 4x4 formula. So, i think we need Opel Blitz icon with ALL wheel working. May be more clearance ?

In my movements mod its calling #14 Car Extra (All-Wheel)

Yrfin: Thanks for your nice words... I think it is not possible to make visible in a simple icon if a vehicle is a 2x4 or 4x4 wheel drive... But I plan to make two icon versions for this truck, so one of them can be used for the 4x2 version and the other for the 4x4 one and call each one accordingly...

Why not ? You are the best icon designer here.
I have icon for Opel Blitz (All-Wheel), but its not in same style with Opel Blitz (Standart).

Exactly what I was thinking... two similar models, but not exactly the same...

Here is the complete pack for the Soviet Stavka Hq building... it also includes the basic icons, masks, and color templates for a brickwork look... I hope you will like them!

Cheers!

Fantastic job Guille!. Another unique unit for the community.
Thanks a lot!.

Lets hope more "Red" units keep coming.

Best regards,
Akkula.

Thanks my friend! Always a supporter! Thanks again for your nice comment!
You will see more Red Army units coming, for sure...

By the way, excellent work with the sea barriers icon you made for your maps!

A vanilla looking version of the Soviet Border Guards unit icon, in early and late war versions... Enjoy!!

Just in case some of the active modders decide to give light AT guns an ambush mode switch... Here, I include improved icons for the 45 mm M1937 y M1942 Anti-Tank Guns, also icons for those guns positioned in a prepared, camouflaged site, ready to ambush approaching enemy units. In the same pack, I included the templates (sandbag parapet, vegetation camo cover) to make some combinations with the basic guns... I hope you find some use for them...

I think the templates con be used also with the German Pak 36 AT Gun, and can easily be adapted to match other icons (5 cm Pak 38, 7,5 cm Pak 40, 57mm Soviet AT Gun, etc...)

Edit: Improved units.

I like the size of the icons.
Only one wish.
The size of the gun barrel.

For 45mm m1937 - the length I think is equal to 1.7 the diameter of the wheel.


For the 45mm M1942, the length is 3 times the diameter of the wheel.

Indeed... I modified the icons with barrels re-scaled... Check them out!

Another masterpiece!.
Great unit and idea Guille!.
I see the McGuba discussion about the camo trait reached this parts of the forum

Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Akkula.

In fact, the idea of making a switch for towed ATG in an entrenched, ambush type position, was in my mind since a long time ago... That was the reason because I had the icon parts halfway prepared...
The "camo" trait did not occur to me, on the other hand...
