SdKfz 250 Icons v1.0

Hello Oragus. Wow! I am speechless. These look absolutely great. I've always liked the smaller German vehicles. Especially now as I am fighting many smaller scale engagements. Seeing your icons gave me an idea for my German OOB. At last I can create a decent series of recon units.

I do have a question though, the 252-3, is that used as a VB (Beob) vehicle or not. What about the 250-3 and 250-5?

As my OOB is post 46 I will mainly be using the Neue Art 250s. No complaints here as you have created all the models I had been looking for.

Great set! I will second PanzerBob. Would be cool to have your work integrated in the next patch. Maybe someone could do a list associating the icons from your sets with the different units in the different OOBs? That would certainly be helpful for the dev team.

Sorry can't help much for the Neue versions.

What's next? Maybe the Panzer IV?

Monty,

Thank you for the words of praise. I like the small stuff too.

Good, glad I could inspire you.

The SdKfz 252, to the best of my knowledge was simply a enclosed ammo carrier. The SdKfz 253, never went into production. It was supposed to be a command and control vehicle though. The SdKfz 250/3 & 5 were both command and control vechiles.

Glad I got you covered.

Pierre,

Glad you like them, thank you. Yeah, seeing my efforts back in the game would be nice again.

What is next you ask? Good question! I will have to think about that. I have a number of sets already done I could release. For example, Some of the utility vehicles like the Opels, Buessing-NAG, SdKfz 10, 11, 7,(with variants: SdKfz 10/4, SdKfz 7/1 & 2 etc,) and Protze (with variants: AAG & ATG mounted) I was thinking of putting all those is a set? Maybe all the short barrelled Pz IVs? I have most of those done. Or maybe even the SdKfz 231s. I have all kinds still to release.

. I need to still redo the Pz IIIs though. I know those are getting closer to being tackled. Then of course you have the Tigers & Tiger IIs yet. After that, I can start working on all the Marders and what not. LOL.

You guys pick, which sets do you want next?

I vote for the Utility Vehicles.
Anybody knows what the Germans used as barge carrier?

I vote for utility vehicles in general. Truck and similar icons of all nations and eras would be nice to have, and are some of the least represented visually in the game.

Its obvious that in terms of the stock game there just isn't enough space for all these icons, but for personal use it would be nice to have some to pick and choose I feel.

I'm working on the Zis-5, Gaz-AA and derivatives. The plain green ones are ready. The winter schemes are still to be done. If someone had a suggestion for those it would be appreciated.
