Well, of course, you are right. Somehow, in my research, I had downloaded a pic and renamed it as 7.5cm when it was indeed the 10.5cm. Most embarrassing.guille1434 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:05 pmHello Cw58! Thaks for sharing that recoilless gun icon, but, I think it look more like a 10,5 cm LG42, than a 7,5 cm LG, which had smaller wheels in its carriage and no shield...
Anyway, it was an icon which was missing from my collection.
But, you will see it done.interestingguille1434 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 10:50 amHello Cw!
Thanks for your answers and comments. It is such a plesure to explore new game options and concepts with someone so helpful and knowledgeable...
Bearing in mind the quirk you mention (and also noticed by me when playing the game) is that I thought about implementing a new terrain type clled "Air Base" that would function as an hybrid of a city and airfield, combining the abilities of both terrain types, i.e. upgrading land and air units, besides repair/refuel aircraft, and also ble to embrk units on rail transports. This, I think, would help by giving the chance to deploy, mount/unmount from transport and upgrade parachute units in the same hex. I even made a "candidate" hex-map graphic for this (attached here).
About the marching infantry unit, the answer is definitely positive, but as making figure icons is not my strong side, I think it will take some tries before arriving to a satisfactory result.
Thanks again, my friend...
Cw58: Thanks for being so helpful... As my desktop computer went out of service sometime ago, and I am using an old netbook to navigate in the internet, it is out of the question for my at present to make tests or play PzCorps...cw58 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:12 pmI did a few tests regarding "para" ability and air-transportable transports. As subjects, I used an infantry, light artillery & a light AA unit; all with the "para" trait.
For the transport, I used 2 versions of SdKfz 2, 1 with and 1 without the "para" trait (even though it seems it was not dropped by parachute historically). Both versions were modded with the ability to board a Ju 52.
The results were similar to the "camo" trait being applied to transports. All units could be air-dropped; it made no difference if the SdKfz 2 was modded with "para" or not. This would work for the "forced march" type of transport that we were discussing but really not much else. Perhaps with the exception of the Welbikes that popped up in the PAKmod thread.
And I did remember more clearly the quirk I mentioned. Units modded as above cannot be deployed on air transports at the beginning of a scenario. Unlike paratroopers, they would need to be manually loaded from an airfield after the scenario begins. A work-around for that is to make it a unit that is switched to transport instead of having an organic transport. I think that has also been suggested before. I hope this information helps.
This icon should work ok with the same animations/sounds used by the regular Pioniere units.
Excellent Contribution, that unit would put a value of (50 for the truck and 56 for the Flak 20mm) $ 106 Prestige.guille1434 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 11:19 amA makeshift self-propelled AA vehicle for the German forces... which comprises a 2 cm Flak 38 gun mounted on an Opel Blitz truck...
