Awesome! Thank you for considering it!

Hi, bebro! I`m assuming you`re busy with OoB, but I have to say I miss having a new plane from you once in a while. Any chance you might have time to cover any new aircraft that the upcoming Soviet Corps might introduce?

I second that request.
Bebro´s work on the aircraft units is simply PERFECT.

Thanks

As for new planes, we'll see what Soviet Corps has in new stuff.

From the list of new aircraft added by the latest patch the following I think have not been covered by you so far:

US:
He-162A
Me-262A

Soviet:
P-39N
P-40M
Tupolev Tu-2
A-20B (you`ve made an A-20G)
B-25D (you`ve made a B-25B)
Hurricane Mk.IID
Yermolayev Yer-2
Gribovsky G-11
Polikarpov U-2

Japanese:
Mitsubishi Ki-21

9 in all if we skip the soviet A-20B and B-25D.

Actually the Soviet P-39, P-40 and the Tu-2 were already made for his Inferno campaign. And the Hurricane IIC can be made easily from the Soviet Hurricane (Mk.I) from the same mod. Which leaves only a few left.

However, you left the Polikarpov U 2 (or Po 2) out of your list. I would really like to see this unit re-made by bebro as it was quite an important one with up to 30,000 being made.

If I remember correctly his Inferno units do not have the image rendered for the info cards and those would still need to be done for this project, but all the same, it`s good to hear that the actual graphics are completed.

However, you left the Polikarpov U 2 (or Po 2) out of your list.

Yes, I`ll edit the above list. I haven`t noticed it because it was in the recon section.

Hey bebro, i love your mod. Ive been having some problems with movement sound on my planes. I think its a conflict with RSM in GME. I tried to winmerge the files in the efx.pzdat files between the 2 but ive had no luck. Im not that great at modding but i know its a conflict on the efx file somewhere. Is there any chance you could take a look at this i really wanna use both these mods together. Thanks

Winmerge, if it does what I expect it would do from the name, is unlikely to work with any mods. It would be possible to combine these mods (probably ? I don't use them), but it will be a lot harder than chucking them in a program and pressing run.

Here's a 1st zip with planes for SovCorps

(edit: removed, pls. see update below)

It's just some of the planes from Inferno (Tu2, Sov LL Hurricane and P40) with added 3d big unit pics. Plus the Two German fighters (He162, M262) in US outfit, small and big icons.

I planning to do the others, but it will take longer

Thanks Bebro for another very nice set of units! Of course, I'm waiting eagerly for the new ones!

Yeah, so that confirms that you are working on the new units.
Thanks a lot bebro!.

Best regards.

Sure it is some great news! I can hardly wait for a proper U-2.

Thx for the comments guys I think I made a mistake in this zip, included the small Airacobra, and the big Hurricane, but not their big/small counterparts. Will be corrected...

Cheers, Bebro!

Do you (still) take requests? As your refined aircraft unit graphics have become kind of a "standard" for PzC modding, I would very much appreciate a full set of your planes in desert camo as well. Most of the standard aircraft types that were actually used in the North African TOW are already present, but as Afrika Corps uses more models in the late war "what-if" scenarios, there's still some that pop up as standard icons (or in "normal" camo).

Doing a quick check, I came up with this list (which is for sure utterly incomplete): Fw 190D-9, Ju 88A, Ju 188A, Ju 52

Three thumbs up for your continued efforts to spice up the game!

Hi,

do you mean a full set of all German air units? I did a couple for Ak, but without the big unit pics, since the game uses only one type og big pic IIRC. I can't really promise a full set in desert outfit for now, as this wold take quite some extra time. So for the moemntI'll leave it with the additional SovCorps stuff.

FWIW I also have a number of Brit and Italian aircraft in desert look, which were intended to use with my UK mod, but since that is on hold I could as well release those if it helps people. They don't have big uit pics atm though, since I went with b/w pics there.

I made a small update which des not complete the set for SovCorps, but has the Airacobra, Po-2 plus two variants of the Hurricane in both big and small:

otherwise it's the same as the previous zip which now has been removed

Thank you! Only three planes remain:

Yermolayev Yer-2
Gribovsky G-11
Mitsubishi Ki-21

It would be great to have those too. The ones that are just desert camouflage versions of already existing planes don`t really need info cards anyway and for anything extra maybe you`ll find time to make cards at some point in the future.

Hey Bebro, thanks for your reply. I can imagine you're quite busy with OOBP and its expansions for the time being - makes me appreciate even more that you're still around in the PzC forums making occasional "air drops" of unit graphics.

The aircraft I mentioned in my post above are used in official Afrika Corps scenarios, and it came to my attention that those are still vanilla. I did not imply asking you for an entire new set of units - that would be a mammoth task by now, and I do really like the desert camo unit variants you already released up to this point in time.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if a unit has no bigunit info card. Many units are similar enough in appearance (and their number that great by now) that one could always re-use the bigunit icon from a similarly looking unit as an "interim solution" until a "proper" bigunit image eventually becomes available. Or one could even switch to b/w images altogether.

RE: Soviet Corps - I remember when I checked out your Eastern Front mod quite some time ago. AFAIR it contained an entry for the Yer-2 in the equipment file already, but it was not used in the scenarios nor had it its own unique unit icon. Maybe there was something on your drawing board already?
