New icon series

[PlasmaKrab]

Hi folks,

Now that's the CWM is out of the way, here come some of the icon series I have come up with lately, hoping you'll like them.

First for some air:

AH-1 Cobra series:


A-129 Mangusta and A-129 International:


PAH-HAC/UHT-HAP Tiger, early versions:


More to come!

Glad to see an expansion of your revised AH-1 series. Dled them before I left the house and had a quick look and they look awesome. I'll probably integrate them into my own OOB projects as I did the AH-1Gs (just because I went and revamped a lot of the helicopter history in both the USA and USMC OOBs).

Thanks for the appreciation!
Feel free to use the AH-1G (I guess the other ones are off-topic), I have other loadouts lying around but I guess you can figure them out yourself.

Some soft vehicles this time:

Soviet Gaz-66 light truck:


Toyota Land Cruiser technicals (80s version):


Mercedes MB-280 Wolf 4x4 (doubles as Puch-G and Peugeot P-4):


Puch Haflinger light 4x4:


Puch Pinzgauer light truck:


Mercedes Unimog-404 & 1300 light trucks:


Renault TRM-2000 light truck:


ACMAT VLRA light truck:


Stay tuned!

Actually, because I had to revamp a lot of the helicopter history, I'll have use for them just as a byproduct of the project. I still have to go and clean up USMC AH-1 history too, because the default has a number of issues.

What do you need on USMC helo history ?

4/69 AH-1G - 7.62 minigun, M75 GL, 2.75" FFR's
2/71 AH-1J - 20mm GG, TOW, 2.75" FFR's
1/78 AH-1T - 20mm GG, TOW, 2.75" FFR's
1/86 AH-1W - 20mm GG, TOW, 2.75" Hydra - also commonly carries Sidewinders for self defense and anti-helo work, in game I give them Stingers to represent this
7/96 AH-1W-4 - 20mm GG, TOW or Hellfire, 2.75" Hydra, Sidewinder
1/104 AH-1Z - 25mm GG, TOW or Hellfire, 2.75" APKWS, Sidewinder

The earlier versiona AH-1G thru AH-1T can carry Sidewinders but usually don't, unlike the later versions.

Thanks for that. I'm actually pretty good for sources, I just have to do it. The new default is unfortunately more inaccurate than the previous one which is more the issue. I just have to go in and muck around with it.

AH-1Js and Ts apparently were capable of carrying minigun pods, though I'm not entirely sure how common that was. I've also seen pictures of AH-1Ts with Zuni pods and AH-1Ws with 2.75" pods loaded with illumination rockets (though I'm not sure that would lead to better vision rating since the sighting equipment usually allows for better vision than the 5 or so I alot to any aircraft/helo loaded with illum flares). So there are other things I sorta want to check up on, put in a certain variety of possible.

Thanks for the info. I had been looking for a bit of clarification on that as well. Just two quick questions on that:

- Are you sure the USMC AH-1J was TOW-capable, and if so, from which date? The introduction of the original J model seems to predate the AH-1Q and even the ICAP TOW-integration program.
Could it be a confusion with Bell's "AH-1J International" variant, (as delivered to Iran) which carried the TOW as an option? I had gathered the AH-1T was mainly an uprated AH-1J with TOW capability. Was the guidance system retrofitted to some J models while in service?

-How positive for the APKWS being in service simultaneously with the AH-1Z?

As a side note, there's a "Sidewinder ATAM" in Obat012, if needed you could probably patch up some stats from the Chapparal as well. (I mean, the guidance system is bound to be worse than the Stinger, while warhead and maybe range should be higher)

Please make Icon for a Jeep with MG and ATGM.
Now these Vechicles are presented Icon as utility jeeps without the weapon.
I think many fans Steel Panthers will be grateful for your creativity.
