Hello Mr Guille.
On this forum, there is somewhere a list of all available units of the vanilla game and units of the available mods. Your units are listed in this topic. I deleted the link by mistake but I need it now. Do you know where ? I searched yesterday but I didn't find anything. Greetings from France.

Hello Bruno: I think you are refering to an old thread called "Panzer Corps Unit Armory" or something similar. Regrettably, I don´t have the link to it...

Sorry.

Here is a unit pack of reworked Panther Ausf. A icons... Included in the base icons/mask folder is a new alternative mask that allows you to apply the camouflage scheme only to vertical surfaces of the tank (hull deck and turret top will remain in plain color, just like the tracks and wheels). Also, there is a separate template to paint an add the additional side armor skirts to any version of the basic icon...

I think that the "plain color top" mask looks good when combined with a striped camouflage pattern (similar to historical camo schemes used by the vehicles of the GrossDeutschland Division).

Enjoy!
And Happy New Year to everyone!

Hello Guille.
Happy new year for an old friend.
It was to meet a request from Phcas for his mod. I found 2 units out of 4. 20mm FlaK 30 and 50mm FlaK 41 (Germany) are missing.
I took my courage in both hands (French expression) and I found this. This is exactly what I was looking for : viewtopic.php?f=147&t=46156
I use your unit : 37mm FlaK 43. Thank you very much.
Greetings from France.

Hello Bruno!

Thanks for taking care of the search for that awesome thread... To avoid losing track of it agin, I included a copy of its link in the text of the first posting of this thread, so if you or anyone want a direct access to that thread you only have to go there and click... I can guarantee that this thread will remain in the first positions of the forum listing for some time in the future...

About the Flak guns, I find that the Flak 30 design was similar to the 38 model, except that in general I only seen photos of it showing it had no protective shield mounted. So, I think I can try to make an icon for it... Also I pln to make n icon for the Gebirgsflak 38, to complete my paratroopers/mountain troops support weapons series. This gun was just a Flak 38 mounted on a lighter tripod-style carriage, suitable to be dismantled for easier transportation on mountain ranges...

Best wishes for you and family, my friend from the beautiful France!

Some heavy AA firepower... The 10,5 cm Flak 38/39.

Here is an updated version of the gun penetration tables, with some more guns of Soviet origin... Enjoy!

Hello Guillermo, from page nr. 150 you posted this:

I try something and put some "more steel" behind it. How about this?:

Guille how to interpret this information to add the data in the (equipment), like Yrfin's publication that he published recently in his post.

Hello Lennis: In order to convert "real world" armor penetration values into "PzCorps" Hard Attack and Ground Defense values, I mde this little table, again, based in Yrfin´s previous work...

Hello Asuser: it is a well made icon, in fact, the hull look much better than the one I made. But, there is a problem with the turrets, which look like you used turrets reduced in size and "imported" from a Kv-85 icon or similar, but in fact, the armored draisine MBV used T-28 turrets, the first version with their original short guns, and a later model replaced those guns by the longer F-34 guns used in the T-34 tank turrets. For refernce I attach a scale model image, a profile drawing, and a very interesting text taken from the Weapons and Warfare web site (https://weaponsandwarfare.com):

In 1938, the S.M. Kirov factory in Leningrad built several ‘motorised armoured wagons’ (MBV) which reached 80km/h (50 mph) and carried a dual-purpose armament for ground and antiaircraft use. The base vehicle used components and three turrets from T-28 tanks (which had been built in the same factory). The tank turrets were armed first with the 76.2mm PS-3 gun then the longer L-11 and F-34. The secondary armament comprised 7.62mm DT machine guns divided between the turrets, rear and sides, and anti-aircraft defence was provided by a quadruple Maxim mounting situated between No 2 turret and the command cupola. With a crew of just forty men, the railcar was practically the equal in firepower to an armoured train, being self-sufficient in ammunition with 365 shells, 10,962 rounds for the DTs and 22,000 for the Maxim machine guns carried on board, but was a great deal more versatile. The armour protection ranged from 16–20mm on the sides, the central command cupola and the turrets. The roof was armoured to 10mm. The whole machine weighed 80 tonnes and could reach 120km/h (75mph) on the 400 hp of its M17-T petrol engine. The prototype was tested during the Finnish War on the Viipuri-Viborg-Leningrad line in March 1940.

In fact, now that I think about it, it would be nice to make this unit switchable: one switch with the gun turrets only, and another icon with the exposed quad AA machine gun mounting exposed ready to fire against enemy aircraft... I think the mounting would be the same used by the soviets in their GAZ AA truck, and in case of this draisine it was situated in the space between the command tower and the second turret- When not in use, the machine gun mounting retracted inside the draisine hull and was protected by armored roof panels that could be opened to elevate and fire the AA weapons...

Thanks, Guille.
Another table with the value of the damage according to the gun?
For example, the value of (8.8 cm K.wK 36 is HA 17.)
(8.8 cm. PaK 43 is from HA 24)

Excellent Icon
For example this tank has two guns (37mm and 75mm), I think it should have the value of 75mm (HA. 13)
Continuing with the theme of penetration according to the caliber of the pistol.
