Guille's PzCorps Support Base - Multipurpose Icons and more.

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

[Akkula]

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...

[Intenso82]

I use new AT guns icons.

[guille1434]

As per Intenso82 request, here are more extra templates to make a really well camouflaged Soviet AT gun position... There various, incremental templates, because I'm afraid the icon in full camo cover will be nearly invisible on the game battle map (modders/users task: test them!) Here are some samples, and the file with all the stuff to make a lot of possible combination using layers in a graphics editing software.

Another version of the camouflaged 45 mm AT gun, this one, with only the foliage parapet... For the sake of comparison.

[guille1434]

As Akkula published an icon for the SU-57 half-track... here is another alternative for this icon, I made it using parts from Akkula's, the vanilla game graphic, and some internet downloaded images (all the photos I could find showed that the half-track version used was the one which had the winch on the front bumper... The pack also includes the base icon and mask...

EDIT: Uploaded new icons, with detail improvements... Sorry to the ones who already downloaded it (and a big Thank You!)

[guille1434]

Here is the big unit portrait and another example of a camouflaged unit...

[Akkula]

Woooo!.
That SU-57 is way better than my version!.
Fantastic job Guille, thanks a lot. I will use it for sure, this is top quality :O.

Best regards,
Akkula.

Hi friend!! Yes, I took this project from my "units to make garage" specially for you (borrowed some parts of your icon, also). I am immensely glad you like it. Also, I will shortly upload a new BT-5 icon with a tracked and a wheeled switch (a good, convertible, light tank - recon vehicle), which in due course, will be the base for the heavy hitting RBT-5 rocket tank...

Stay tuned!

[Akkula]

Cant wait!.
I worked with the T-26s and with your BT-5 finally the old little tanks will receive some respect!

This is a good camouflage!)
Indeed, if camouflage the parapet and barrel, it is necessary to find a unit and identify the unit icon:)
Although it can not be bad for AI units.
I like the variant when only the parapet is camouflaged.

Another idea for the extras template's.
Masking mesh of this texture, into a large cage so that you can see the unit icon under mesh



I did not find a better picture. But of a similar shape.
But that part of the gun was visible.


Perhaps this is a universal template for all art. Units.
Maybe in two colors for the Germans and Soviets.
Perhaps this is a size that can be added to a large number of icons.

Those camouflaged AT are amazing. I love those details

Very camouflaged guns... I made some kind of "universal" camouflage net, a template which can be used to cover almost any suitable size icon to make it "disappear"
I don't know guys if this is what you were thinking about, but here it is for you to judge... If you like it, I will make the icon template with the correct size, ready to be used with any icon you like...

I checked in the game.
And I can say that there this icon looks better in game, especially on a frozen tileset.
But probably it's worthwhile to leave this idea for a while, until we have an idea how to improve it.
Because so far it is different from other icons.

[guille1434]

Here is an early war soviet tank unit... The BT-5 fast tank, which could also run on its wheels, besides moving on tracks. So, this units comes with a wheeled switch (also, Yrfin designed a new movement type for this type of vehicle), in this state, I think this unit can be a useful recon asset... (maybe give it the "reconmove"trait?)... For early war times, it also packed a rather hard hitting gun.

Enjoy!

[Akkula]

Hi Guille, I cant see the icon, it is just me?

[guille1434]

Was just editing the message... Last second details...

[Akkula]

Interesting!.
The unit looks wonderful and the wheels mode is a great idea, I will try to test it at the first chance I have.

Thanks a lot!.

Best regards,
Akkula.
