And great work on the ATG ones BTW.

The only problem is that AAA icons are somewhat more difficult to make and that I do have very few pictures in bird`s eye view of them.
For the German 2 and 3,7cm Flak it will be possible, but I`m not sure if I can model every French, Japanes, Italian AAA.

I'm a dev of the Forgotten Hope 2 mod for Battlefield 2. We have accurate 3d models of the 2cm Flak 38, 2cm Flakvierling 38, 2cm Flak 38 on Sd.Ah.51 trailer, Italian 20/65 aa gun, M33 50cal, M51 50 cal and 40mm Bofors. If you need a topdown view of any of them I can get it.

[Mario_Fr]

Thanks, that would be perfect.

Except of the Bofors which looks already very nice in the game, I could utilize every one of the list.
I do have some pictures of the 2cm Flak 38 and the 3,7cm Flak from blueprints.com but if I can have a look at your 3D models, I would appreciate.

Ts4EVER, I remember playing the original Forgotten Hope for Battlefield 1942. I don't know if you were with the team then, but I'm glad to hear that you guys are still alive and kicking You turned a good game into a great game!

[Ts4EVER]

Ok.
Note that I am not a 3d modeller so I don't know how to properly render these. I just took a bunch of editor screenshots of relatively low quality, but it should show you the proportions.

@Wiking: Thanks! I wasn't around back then though, I only became a dev last year for this Omaha Beach map:

Sometimes I wish BF2 mapping was as simple as WinSPWW2 mapping...

[Mario_Fr]

That really really help, Ts4EVER, thanks a lot.

Here is a first glimpse of how the 2cm Flak could look like in the game. It`s only a first try, but looks not bad in my opinion.

Do you have a picture of the 3,7cm Flak 36 as well?

[Wiking]

Pretty slick, Mario. I am always looking for ways to tweak SPWW2 so I'm keeping a close eye on this thread

I'm afraid those are all the light flaks we have (we have a twin MG34 as well, but I don't think that is in SPWW2). We also have the 8.8cm Flak 36 with and without shield, but IIRC you already have an icon for that.

Aye, I already have virtually all of Cross's stuff and many other little things from there.
