Icon work (any suggestions?)
 

Hi, as some of you will know I did some icon work in the past on this forum. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what sort of Soviet heavy tanks I could work on.

I already have a whole host of heavies on the German side which need to be countered so any ideas of late war Soviet protoypes (KV tanks etc) would be appreciated. Any idea what the USA was working on, despite that Heavy SPG of theirs?

I have looked around and found some interesting stuff but not one site I have seen has givenme good stats to work with.

Any work I do will be sumbited, for your use, as soon as it is done.

Photos and data on tanks for WinSPMBT are required ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

If you are trying to make new icons and units then yes. Only because I need some inspiration though. As I said if anyone has any ideas then please fire away.

Maybe not exactly a tank, Monty - but it annoys me when I arrange a para drop and my Blackburn Beverleys look too much like C-119s.... If you could oblige, I'd be most grateful!

If you are really into soviet heavy tanks this would be a good start

The one who deserves most is the IS-7, it was the most powerful practical heavy tank ever built. It came very close to limited serial production (a batch of 50 or so was planned IIRC) but it was cancelled due to a political snafu (although the weight, considered excessive, was a factor). If you are interested I might manage to find some stats and detailed drawings.

Personally I would like some sort of winter camo for the
T-90.

Thanks for the web page? I will see what I can do.

Which .Shp file is the "Blackburn Beverley" in?

@ Don and the Dev team: What is the tank that look like the T 10, the one next to the new T 10 icon?

The IS7 seems a rather good model. Object 279 and Object 770 also look like they are worth modeling. I will need arial shots of them or plans of them though. I also need weapon and armour stats better than the ones I have found.

Some drawings for the IS-7 can be found here:

Once you shrink them somewhat the level of definition is quite good.
I will see what I can do for the stats.

I once did a stat workup of the IS-7 for a SPWW2 total conversion mod I did, using stats gathered from tanknet:

420mm Effective Hull Front
150mm Effective Hull Sides
150mm Effective Hull Rear
300mm Effective Turret Front
200mm Effective Turret Sides
200mm Effective Turret Rear

It's a IS-IV. All that info is in the Master Icon list we put in the \Game Data\Design folder.
