I know that there is no space available in the US OOB but some lesser units could always be deleted...no?

I had thought about it, but as you say, units from the original OOB would need deleting. Now that's quite far above my pay grade to decide what should go or not go.

Now, those of you, who like to play as the USA in campaign, could give it some thought yourselves, with some rationales for why this or that unit shouldn't be in the main US OOB and perhaps then it may prove doable, but it is a can of worms I personally don't want to open.

Good evening, Gentlemen,

As promised, some screenshots of what to expect in the next release of the mod:

Revised late model Tiger III


Revised "heavy" Leopard 1 - 1A4 with 120mm


A new Panzerjäger - based on the E50 chassis (SPH configuration)


The precursor to the Leopard 2 - The Keiler


Another Leopard 2 prototype (PT11)


The FlakPz. MATADOR


MBB 125B - one of many examples of how the helicopter fleet has been overhauled


Weserflug (VFW) 56


MB 212


Merckle M101-Kranhubschrauber - Merckle had a skeletal proposal for a crane helicopter, this is based on that


MBB VAK-191 (late)


MBB VAK-191 (early)


Kawasaki OH-1


Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MH 2000) - a contribution made possible by Oragus and Don


IJA Paratroops worthy of the name


IJA Airmobile


Anything the army can do we can do better


That concludes, the show and tell portion of the preview.

To the above, I can add that new icons now exist for the FlakPz. Gepard, for almost all of the helicopters (including some new additions, which fill gaps) and Japan finally has finished paratroops (incl. airmobile units and not just for the IJA either).

Some rudimentary attack helicopters have been created for Japan, based on their lighter helicopters (not shown above).

Finally, as you know, I can't leave well enough alone, so I re-worked all of the German and Japanese tank cannons, which I have added, in order to bring them more credibly into line with those of their peers. This was accomplished through the aid of a spreadsheet containing all the pertinent data from the guns already in the game. I know, I should get out more .

Best Regards,

Monty
