The focus turns again to the YaG-10 Soviet 8 ton truck... I founs some interesting photos of that vehicle equipped with some kind of "tracks" wrapped over the rear wheels, to turn this trauch to a halftrack to move better over mud and snow. I think a new movement type should be designed for those kind of "low cost halftracks" with same move capacity as, for example, the M3 American halftrack over muddy and snow ground conditions, but should have inferiro performance over dry terrain, meaning that the track accesory make a significant cut on the truck maximum speed when moving in dry conditions.

Ha! That's one of those real units that I wouldn't believe existed; but you have the photographic evidence to prove it. Unless your photoshopping skills are even better than I imagined.

Hello Cw58! He, he... zero photoshop knowledge here... This truck looked indeed as it was a real warhorse ready for all service. Too bad they did not produced many of them (around 300, I think from 1932/33 until 1940. By the way, may be you know but the Soviets used the same "convertible half-track" system in one of their six-wheeled recon vehicles (it was the BA-6 or BA-10, I don´t remember well at this moment).

Anyway, here is teh unit pack file for the Yag-10 with wheeled, half-track versions, both in regular Red Army green and SE camo schemes.

Greetings!!

Mortars are good, and thanks for the Owen gun variant.
I foresee a few days of updating icons and maybe tidying up some scenarios.

Yes JAG is good )

Great pictures Uzbek2012. The AT Tram is brilliant

It was not known to me, but the Bren Carrier, its variants and derivatives were built in more than 100 000 units, which makes this vehicle possibly the most produced in the Second World War. Of course, it was used everywhere by many (if not all) Allied countries... Besides, the Germans captured many Bren Carriers in Norway and France, and put them to good use. One variant they developed was an antiaircraft vehicle which was just a 2 cm Flak38 gun mounted on top of the rear section of the vehicle. The Bren Carrier was named Fahrgestell Bren 731(e) by the Geramns, and that AA variant was the (rather understandably) "Fahrgestell Bren 731(e) Flak 38"... The icons depicted here are the desert colored ones...

An american aircraft well liked by Soviet pilots... The Bell duo, P-39 Airacobra and P-63 Kingcobra...

Some more variants of the P-39 icon in Soviet colors (regular and SE schemes)...

Also, some variations on the Tupolev Tu-2 icons...

The same for the Iliushin Il-4 bomber/torpedo bomber aircraft...

Thanks!

Hi Guille. Hope you are well as it has been pretty quiet on this thread for awhile. I'd like to ask a favor.

I'm looking for an icon that I think you might have made of one of those "believe-it-when-I-see it" units. It is the SdKfz 254; a hybrid tracked-wheeled vehicle. It was originally designed as a light artillery tractor and later used by the Germans as a scout car. Do you have such an icon in your library? If so, I would appreciate it if you could post it here.

Brilliant! Thank you, Ballermann. That is just what I needed.

That is one funny vehicle.

Not a very elegant vehicle...
But here is the set of icons for the Sdkfz 254 observation vehicle, made in the wheeled and tracked modes (switches). There were 140 vehicles of this model produced, and they served in the East front and in North Africa. Enjoy!!
