Your right, I just tried it and it doesn't work. That's unfortunate.

When assigned to flak-suppression sorties in the area of Stalingrad during the winter of 1942, Luftwaffe forward maintenance units modified a small number of He 177A-3s, fitting a 50 mm Bordkanone BK 5 cannon with the 21-round magazine within the aircraft's undernose Bola gondola, with the long barr...

Yes! Wanted these for a while.

In the vanilla campaign, how many permanent units can you have in each scenario for your army? So far I have the following numbers: Norway 18, low countries 22, France 24, Sealion (40) 26, Barbarossa 28, Kiev 18, Moscow (41) 29, Stalingrad 30, Kursk 31. Also, how many SE units can you earn by throug...

Love the new icons. Ever consider doing some of the super heavy artillery?

For anyone interested, the Kettendradshutzen (Kettenkrad based infantry, similar to the Kradshuzten). Its based on the already existing Sdkfz 2 icon, mixed with bits from the Kradshutzen. I gave it identical stats to the Kradshutzen (and all variants) but with the halftrack movement type and speed o...

I present my first completed icon, the Kettendradshutzen. Its based on the already existing Sdkfz 2 icon, mixed with bits from the Kradshutzen. I gave it identical stats to the Kradshutzen (and all variants) but with the halftrack movement type and speed of seven. I use the normal Sdkfz 2 icon for t...

Yes, pretty much. Like i said you may want to save the icon you intend to replace before hand in a separate folder, in case you change your mind.

Just change the icon with a new one? There are two ways to do this, either: If you already have the new icon, then find the Units folder under graphics, add the new icon pic to that folder. Then in the data file, find the unit that your replacing the icon of and change the icon name to the name of ...

So, we also have a good candidate unit to give mobility to mountain infantry unis, also scout and special infantry units... More icons in the coming...

Excellent, I look forward to it.

The Tank Encyclopedia states: "The first units equipped with the SdKfz 2 were not paratroopers but regular Wehrmacht infantry units, often scout detachments . Largely available by the beginning of 1941, They were put in action during the summer of 1941 (operation barbarossa). Most of them served on...

I found a basic icon for the small transport Sdkfz 2 Kettenkrad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sd.Kfz._2). It works well as a light transport for airborne troops. Additionally it could be used as a form of high-mobility infantry like the Kradshutzen (motorcycle infantry). It would have similar stats...

I found some more information on the Pioneer Panzer III (as it is called). "It was an unallowed field-modification of 3x PzKpfw III Ausf. M, 2x PzKpfw III Ausf. N and 8x PzKpfw III kz ordered by the commander of XXXXVII. PzKrps in July 1943. Eleven belonged to sPzAbt 505 and two to the 2. PzDiv. Arm...

If used as a transport you could make it expensive, say 200-300 prestige. This would dissuade most players from buying many and reflect the real life tank shortages Germany suffered during the later war.
Alternatively you could add a mine roller to it and use it as a minesweepr tank.

The question of the vehicles role boils down to how the germans used it. i can find little specific information aside from "combat engineering." This would include demolitions, construction, repairing roads/bridges, removing obstacles and other similar things. The Panzer III version carried more or ...

Excellent icons, thank you. So, you think it should be used as a transport for Pioneers/bridge engineers? It looks like a bridge-laying tank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armoured_vehicle-launched_bridge#World_War_II_and_subsequent_use The pictured vehicle only carried a light bridge, the dedicate...

I've been doing some research on obscure variants of German tanks and came across the Pionierpanzer III. http://guerra-abierta.blogspot.com/2015/02/pionierpanzer-iii.html This converted tank had its turret removed and interior modified to carry engineering tools, as well as a small pontoon. Would su...
