Well, here are all the packs for the M16 MGMC...
First, the US version, in regular and SE camo, both in AA and AT variants... Have fun!

Horst: It is a good idea indeed to release an Elite P-80 with the D-Day stripes... And a good oportunity to improve the old icon... Could you explain further how this icon can be made better? I understood about the shadow, I will check it, but what about the "revamp on edges" you mentioned? I will take your suggestions when looking at that icon and trying to improve it... Thanks!

PS: I will add the AT version of M7 Priest to my "to do" list, also.

Now it is the turn of the same unit, but with British insignia... Thanks to Horst who pointed it out...

And last, but not least, here is the Soviet version of the M16 MGMC, in AA and AT versions, in a variety of camo schemes, also including its own base icon and mask for the DCS program.

Changing the focus to the Forts unit category, here is a bunker I made taking as a base the old icon from Pacific General. I made some icon in different nations color schemes, and also include the base icon and mask to try your artistic concrete painting abilities!
I hope you find some use for it...
Have fun!

Another good unit for the Fortification category... This is no less then a icon made by Bebro for his IJA Mod... Here made "switchable" in three "states"...
The idea for the different "switches" of this unit are:

1) AT version (barrel at zero elevation): The unit will fire (and take fire) with range = 0 to any surface unit attacking it, be it a ship or a land unit. This represents a close quarters firefight, agains a land unit assaulting its position or a ship which attacks from an adyacent hex.

2) Coastal artilery version (barrel at medium elevation): In this case the unit will fire against naval targets with ranged fire (range = 3 or 4 hexes may be?), hopefully, ships attacked with equal or batter range will return fire (because the unit will not be classed as artillery, also it would not be able to provide support fire to adyacent land units in this state). Medium to high naval attack value, Soft Attack and Hard Attack = 0, meaning that the unit is firing to a naval target, and cannot shift its fire to the land side.

3) Artillery (barrel at highest elevation): The unit will switch to an artillery class unit, and will deliver indirect ranged fire to land hexes, also will provide artillery support to adyecent land units. In this case, its Naval Attack value will be 0, and its SA and HA will be equivalent to an 8 inch artillery unit. There is the problem of this unit (classed as artillery) retreating if attacked by other land unit... Any ideas about how this problem could be avoided? (Some kind of "No retreat" trait would come very handy in this case! Game devs, take note, please!!)

In the meantime, you can download the complete unit pack, and give the use you like...
Thanks to Bebro for giving this community so much good stuff, name it: graphics work, complete mods, etc... etc...!!!

Enjoy!

PS: Just updated the Crusader 40mm icon. I only touched up the insignia and very little details... Just in case you want to be on the cutting edge and download always the latest!

Thanks for the MGMC family!
About the P-80: the mask allows many white pixels on the edges. Can only be seen in the game.

My download doesn't have the eqp or efx files, I've tried several times, pls help.

Ok, now I see the problem... I will try to improve it, and make the SE version with D-Day stripes... Stay tuned!

Stan23: Indeed, you only have the icons available for now... Sometime in the future I will release a complete mod with eqp and efx files... Meanwhile I only gave the icons for other players or modders to use them to complement their work. Many of the icons can be used with the existing efx...

Oh, Ok, thanx for the quick reply. Looking forward to the downloading the completed project. I am particularly interested in switchable AA/AT units and hope you include them. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

I see that there is also needs for special vehicel updates! So with guille1434 i have a bigger mod project to run and therefore is also room for a special bunker buster tank which was in duty in D-Day 1944 and that is'nt included in the vanilla system: Churchill AVRE! I will start with the hulk in the next days so stay tuned...

Greetings from Germany!

I don't want to slow down your enthusiasm, but Allied Corps already has the Churchill AVRE in its fleet of new vehicles, next to the Cromwell CS and those super heavy bunker-busters Tortoise and T28.
How about an anything-busting Sturmtiger that has been neglected so far but was a real thing and no papertank like e.g. the KV-5 'boss-tank' in a few DLC missions?

PS: a couple of tank copies could be quickly made for the forgotten allies, like M10, Shermans, etc. for Brits, Free French/Polish, Canadian, etc. with just different emblem. It's kinda nice in Allied Corps campaign to build battlegroups of one nation.

Sorry Horst,

i do'nt know the Allied Corps mod and if the Churchill AVRE look good i will cancel the task. The Sturmtiger is at work (guille1434) but i want to stop talking at this point...

Can't wait for the Sturmtiger to rumble and blast anything to dust!

Here is my wishlist for Santa Guille:
- 8.8 and 12.8 cm Flak in arty mode, like the Italian 90/53
- Cromwell CS in tank mode
- Sherman Calliope in tank mode
- Allied/Axis/Soviet Armoured Train in tank mode
- M15A1 MGMC in tank mode

Hi Horst! Some of the units in your wishlist are already in my "to do" list, the ones that are not, will be added.

A question: What would be the "Armoured train in tank mode" could you explain a little more what is your idea about it? I'm interested in everything about armoured trains/railroad artillery...

The Sturmtiger is very near the front lines... I suppose it will be uploaded this weekend!

In the meantime, you will find some stuff below...

A variant of the M16 MGMC which was missing... A unit in french colors! This one is colored in a distinct blue-grey tone, compatible with the French "What if?" unit pack... It is a very nice color, and one which makes this unit readily identifiable!
Thanks to Horst who gave me the "heads up!"

And now, here is a very special unit icon, made by my partner Asuser... This is the big gunned Me-410B-2/U4, with its special camo scheme and "Wespe" unit badge! Lovely details, and a masterpiece! Thanks to him for this contribution!

Enjoy!

Another artillery unit that gets the "multipurpose" treatment... Here is the US M7 priest in AT and artillery modes, complete with base icon and mask, and in regular and SE color schemes!
This unit was in my list from some time, and I "processed" it as asked by Horst.
The icon is heavily based on the work made by Bebro for his IJA mod... I just added some detal to the running gear, and some very little touches here and there... Thanks to him!

I hope you find it useful!

Very nice Me410!

Just some more variants of the M7 Priest, this time in British (regular and SE schemes) and French colors...

By the way, any of the knowledgeable members here knows if this vehicle was supplied to the soviets? (not the the Red army had shortage of good SP artillery, and bearing in mind that 105 mm was not a calibre that they used, but just want to be sure if a Soviet version would be feasible to include...)
Thanks!
