[Panzerpimp]

Looks great. Can you show some infantry, please?

[Akkula]

Hi panzerpimp. So far, I didnt start with infantry icons, I have a lot of vehicles to finish first .
But rest assured that I will post them as soon as I have some icons done.

[BiteNibbleChomp]

Cold War...

interesting.

- BNC

[Akkula]

Nope, modern war. Maybe some old equipment will be available, but the mod will focus on modern times

[Cataphract88]

Very good idea - this is an area that hasn't been touched on much in PC.

[BiteNibbleChomp]

Is there going to be Ukrainian conflict included?

- BNC

[arverner]

I wonder how you're going to include the "new" unit types in your mod, such as IFVs, APCs and attack helicopters.

[McGuba]

I wonder how you're going to include the "new" unit types in your mod, such as IFVs, APCs and attack helicopters.

I guess IFVs and APCs could be normal land transports like the SdKfz.251, but obviously with much better stats so that they can fight on their own and take more punishment.

Attack and transport heli could be multipurpose units which can "land" anywhere - change to a ground unit and back.

I have some ideas in my mind but I didnt decide anything yet. So far, my idea is to include some modern conflicts and some "fantasy" events as well, in the form of campaigns, scenarios, etc.

Exactly, that is exactly my idea regarding the personnel carriers, for fighting vehicles I will use the recon class (modified of course).

Speaking of fighting vehicles, here some Polish ones: the KTO Rosomak and a PT-91 tank (dont worry about the unit stats, I am not on it yet):





Regards.

[Akkula]

Some French armor, oldies and newbies:



Keep in mind that most of the units will be improved, by now I am just trying to finish the bulk of the them.

[Intenso82]

Pictures of units look perfectly.

Future "fantasy" conflict NATO vs Russia ?

Long time wasn't enough modern war mods.

Don't forget to add T14 Armatа.

[Akkula]

Hi Intenso, thanks for your words
I think the "fantasy" conflict between NATO and Russia is "a must" that I will include in this project

I have the T-14 on my mind, dont worry. Although is difficult to find material related to modern equipment; I was surprised how difficult it is to get material to build quality icons.... it seems WW2 was way more popular in the modelling world.

Some USA vehicles:

[Akkula]

Thanks intenso.

Now some more US equipment, here some transports of different kind:


The British will deploy their forces also:


Dont pay too much attention to the units color, I have to work on the camos (something new for me). The colors I am using at the moment are just to quickly identify the different nations.

[Magic1111]

Hi Akkula!

Good to hear news from you!

Very, very interesting project! I´ve posted the news in an own Thread on DMP Forum: http://www.designmodproject.de/kunena/1 ... flicts-wip

If you want, you can please post the news on DMP too!

[flakfernrohr]

We all know that anything done by the renowned Akkula is going to be good, if not probably great.

[oasis22]

I'he been waiting for this mod for some time, can you give us an idea of map size and unit number? It's a tough project, but you can pull it off...thanks mate.

[Akkula]

Thanks for all your support guys! . I really appreciate it!.
Yes, Magic, I will keep the DMP forum updated, I was just waiting if this announcement had some interest in the community.

Going back to business, Polish-British forces engage an upgraded T-72 which is supported by artillery!.


And in the skies, a hopeless SU-25 is escaping from a German EF-2000:
