WinSPMBT

~~#Time for another update#~~

Here we have some Helicopters for you to look at and play with. Introducing the: Do. 205 (a grey and elongated version of the Huey), The Kormoran, again it will look familiar to you but it is slightly different (it is also jet black, looks more imposing that way) and finally the Kaiser, this you will also recognise.

All have undergone some structural changes and the paint scheme has also been edited a little. Enjoy!

Oh, if it's not too much work, perhaps you could write a little manual to go with the mod; so that we know what is what, and why it was developed.

I mean, all of us when we play WinMBT, we know what a Leopard 1 and 2 are; along with M-48, M-60 and M-1; but we don't know that for your alt history units.

[RecruitMonty]

With pleasure. I will work on it after I have finalised all the units. I hope you don't mind reading it yourself. Not all the units are new so I won't be producing notes on everything.

[RecruitMonty]

OK, I have some more questions for you guys.

Where should I stick single icon unit shps? What file numbers should I create?

I am also trying to come up with some new COIN aircraft for my Imperial OOB. I thought about using the Stuka, Me 109 (jet and propeller version), the Me. 1099 C and much later the Alpha jet and the Tornado. Any suggestions on plane types or on armament?

~~#UPDATE#~~

I found schematics and pictures for these aircraft and have made icons for most of them. Thus far I have made icons for:
#EWR VJ101 C
#EWR VJ101 C X4A
#Me. VJ101 B
#Me. XVJ101 B
#VJ101 D
#VJ101 E
#AVS
#EWR A 400

I now have the VFW VAK 191 MK. 2 and 4. and the Do. 31 to do. Attached you will find the icons and the PDF file I got the inspiration from. I hope you like them. BTW I still need advice on where to put new single shp icons and now I could do with some suggestions from you guys for where I should place these new planes in my timeline.

OK, Where is everyone? I have noticed a lack of activity here. Is everyone on holiday or what? BTW I need some advice on developing a cheaper and lighter tank for the Imperial forces. At the moment I am using the Swiss tanks, with minor alterations to the paint scheme and the layout of the turrets. They don't look German enough though. I am looking into using the Buford for the States and the Marines.

What do you plan on doing with the Bergepanzers? Do you include ARVs in your orbats? If so, how do you use it?

Nitpicking aside, the icons are great The Hyaene turret is a step forwards in detail. Which weapons is it supposed to use? There's something looking like a rocket pack on the latest version, or is it uparmoring?

[RecruitMonty]

The Bergepanzers will function in the same way as the existing ones. In OOB 44 they also fulfill an ammunition resupply role. As for ARVs, well I hadn't thought about that. I know for a fact that that is what a Bergepanzer is for, but the game doesn't really allow much scope for that (from what I have seen) otherwise the vehicles that are already in-game (the ones that represent bergepanzers) would fulfill that role, oder?

Thanks for the compliments. The other Tiger III icons will also be upgraded in a similar way. The Hyaene sports a 105mm gun, like the Leopards, but will be cheaper and more mobile. The late era vehicles do indeed have rocket packs on them. The pack itself is a port off of another vehicle (with some minor alterations).

The addition of ATGMs to the tank in the later stages of the game allows it to punch above its weight a little more. As it is a lighter tank, it also travels quickly. I also foresee it taking on reconaissance roles and supporting paratroop and airmobile operations.

Hey monty; how about these:



Panzer IV with cleaned up forward hull, same basic engine and suspension, and aft hull.




Same thing as above, but with new side skiry design + a schmallturm mounting some version of a 75mm L70.
