You got in first - I was just about to add that fact as an edit. You're right - rangers are already in the efile.

There were not really any such models as KV-1 /A/B/C and so on. According to these criteria there were dozens of T-34 modifications. But there were none. When classifying all those soviet tanks built at the beginning of the war one should keep in mind that these tanks were put into production in the so called "special period" ("особый период" in Russian). Shortages of materials, workers, instruments and time imposed on the production thus leading to minor and major changes: numerous combinations of screens, guns and turrets. These tanks were all addressed as "KV-1" in Soviet Union. The introduction of KV with additional screens (KV-1E "ekranirovanny" (КВ-1Э)) was a part of pre-war plan but it proved excessive and unnecessary. Instead a KV-1S "speedy" (skorostnoi) was developed - the armor was reduced for better reliability and mobility.
IMHO there should be only 3 KV-1 variations left - KV-1, KV-1E and KV-1S.

I've requested it before, but I will request it again. Russian Marines! Russian and German Penal troops, Russian Conscripts, British Ghurkas, British-Indian Troops, French Algerian.
For armor, I request an E25, Tiger III E100, E100 Maus turret (that can be skinned) and an E90 Crocodile (what a tank!) .

A unit I would like to see is the Henschel HS 123, a german prewar construction, that was used throughout 1944. The HS 123 was a biplane, used as a fighter bomber and a dive bomber. It looks like it was very effective and well-liked by the troops.

Fliegenderstaub, here's a Hs123 I made a long time ago. Sorry, I didn't make a bigpic back in the day.



Btw., welcome to the forums - you should post some more!

Looking pretty cool

I would like to see a more in-depth series of armored personnel carriers for all sides many different types such as the flammenwerfer,some of wich were coverted to hold 50cm pak guns, mutiple mg34/42 mounted front and rear ,mortars. If anyone remembers the Blitzkrieg game series those modders had a good amount of those incorporated into thier mods the MISSION KURSK add on was a very good example! it would be awsome to have those imagine running through lines with minimal causlties dropp the troops and bushwhack dat azz!!

Thanks for the welcome and for the beautiful picture of the "Einszweidrei" (onetwothree)! Looks really pretty. Would be great to actually use it in the game. I am not a modder at all, so I will have to wait...

And yes, I intend to post a bit more from time to time. For me as a Panzer General veteran Panzer Corps feels like a oasis in a gaming desert...

If they have been done by someone already, please LMK: P-39 Airacobra (Allies and/or Russians); Beaufighter; Wellington. Cheers

Bebro has a beautiful P-39.

Well, here is a little P-39 Aircobra from the lend lease to USSR.
I made this for a very tiny custom scenario. No big unit though,sry.
These have been totally overlooked but the soviet air force used them to great success.
In fact five out of the top ten soviet aces scored the majority of their kills with the P-39.
A total of aprx. 4700 planes were delivered to the USSR between 1941-1944.
Funny things is that the PE-8 Bomber exists as a model in the game when not even a total of 100 have been build.
Feel free to use it.


Still could use a Tupolev Tu-2...an overlooked unit,too....anybody ?

Nive work, and very interesting information!
Do somebody know, from which time were the P-39's avaible in significant number in the USSR? I didn't find sources.

thx..
They were delivered gradually as soon as the lend-lease started.
From fall 1941- to fall 1944 a total of 4700 as I already said.
Now if you wanna know the exact shipping dates and quantities I would try some officil US sources about lend-lease.
I mean every single item ever delivered has been religiously accounted even though the russians never bothered to pay a penny
A fact which still stands in between US and Russian relations

Thank you for the information.

As I wasnt really satisfied with my first attempt of the russian lend-lease P-39 Aircobra Icon I made a new one which I think is vastly superior.
Free of charge and free to use.

I hope, you will not feel yourself violated, but I also made a Soviet P-39 version, from Bebro's USMC campaing modell used.

nah...Iam not really into this stuff...Your P-39 looks more like the ingame models,so..well done...but if you wanna make it available to others you should post it as a png and not as a jpeg cause it does not support the transparency layer
I rather could make a 3d model in 3dsmax but its really not worth the time as all the high resolution and detail is lost once units are converted into the tiny png images the game uses.
While I admire peoples patience and dedication (like H.Balck) to make 3d models for the icons I consider this one of the most effective ways of wasting time and energy.

Honestly, I like more to desing campaigns, as the create icons. Because I'm not a graphician and I don't know much about draw softwares. I do only reskinnig from existing icons, made by PC authors, or modders.
...and it takes horrible amount of time!
