Having completed the:

US Infantry
Fallschirjmager

and almost completed the Russian Infantry factions (divisions) I am trying to think of which of the armor divisions to do first.


here is a small synopsis of what they entail:

US Armor:
<< infantry spawn inside halftracks >>
Fully Mechanized support infantry  (halftrack's with firing ports)
light vehicle support(Stuart, t17, Chaffee), weapon crews, anti tank section
armor sections: Infantry support shermans(105, IS sherman, calliope), Heavy / shermans (e-8, jumbo, pershing), and the HVAP alternative. (m18, m36 slugger, super pershing (different model))

Panzer Divison:
<< Infantry spawn inside halftracks >>
Mechinazed grenadier infantry (infantry halftracks)
light vehicle support(hotchkiss, Leopard, P3 Ausf G) , weapon crews, anti tank section
Armor sections: Panzer tanks (p4, panther, tiger, King tiger), Tank destroyers (Hetzer, Jagdpanzer, Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger), infantry support (Ostwind, Whirblewind, P4IS, Bombardier)

UK Armor:
<<Vehicle's spawn with flank speed for 30 seconds>>
Sapper infantry
Anti tank support section (57mm, archer, 12 pounder, achilles), recon and command section
Churchill (VI, VII, Blackprince), churchill support (III (95mm), croc, avre), and cruiser/anti tank (comet, firefly, challenger)

PanzerJager division:
<< most units infiltrate >>
infiltration panzergrenadier infantry
infiltrating light vehicle support(LATHT,  50mm Puma, StugIII, P3 Ausf G), open topped anti tank support (50mm HT, marder, 75mm HT, Nashorn)
armor sections << All armor sections formed with APCR standards (( higher penetration/damage, less AOE, Accuracies vs infantry )) >> Panzer tanks (P4, Panther, tiger), Tank destroyers (JagdPanzer, JagdPanther, JagdTiger)


lists do not include the free to buy unlocked units.

PanzerJager division sound the most fun at the moment so I'm going to vote for that

[salan]

also the original 4 factions were generalized concepts of the factions to follow: ie: allies having rangers/airborne and heavy tanks from the three factions they break up into.. wehrmacht having mechanized troops, emplacements and artillery...  etc etc... i'll keep those 4 generalists for the sake of keeping them for now.. But they were never to be the finalized factions

Panzer division

[Mysthalin]

I demand the Crusader.

[salan]

I demand the Crusader.

hmm challenger is a bit easier with it being a cromwell already .. I think someone was making a crusader model though, once thats done it'll be added

[AmPM]

I demand early war in the desert!

[Grundwaffe]

Would be cool if someone did a serious project on Afrika corps..

[MittinsKittens]

No you fools, your voting for the wrong things D:

[salan]

there is a afrika mod i think... ?  I'd do one for FOF though, if i can get the skins / models for it.

[AmPM]

p4 D, f1/f2
p3 J/J Late, L, M, N
Tiger
p2 f
88mm AA/AT gun
PaK 36, 36r 38, 40
LeIG 18
"Puma" no upgun
PE armored car and support car
FJ, Grens, Panzergrens
various borrowed british equipment

Matilda
Crusader
Churchill
Grant
Sherman
2pdr ATG
6pdr ATG
25lbr
Commando's
Tommies

Not much change as far as infantry goes. No Schreks, RR's, zooks. AT Rifles still in use though rare, mostly light ATGs and light/medium tanks. Sticky bombs on both sides.

If your gonna include the Tiger, include the 17pdr ATG.

Why? Because the 17pdr ATG was brought into Africa two weeks before the Tigers started showing up. Admittedly not in an impressive supply, but they were there.

[AmPM]

Only reason I included Tigers is because of the number of engagements they showed up in.

I'd be happy dropping them out though, more fun to use medium tanks.

I need to learn RGD stuff, then I can make tanks with realistic damage and penetration rates for this...

Then you just need to make it persistent and add a warmap. lol

[salan]

a little off topic but to answer:

the only missing models currently:

p2
p3

matilda
crusader
grant.

all of which are being worked on and will be released "soon".

[AmPM]

When those release, I am stealing you to work on my mod =p

Will put all stats to paper, I have a system in mind.

[Hicks58]

If your going for an Africa Campaign based mod, with realistic values and the such... I'll be more than happy to be a tester for you.

Always loved the Africa Campaign tbh. So much was done there, and so much of it was overshadowed by the stuff done in Europe.

[AmPM]

I think I will, hard part is waiting on models and using placeholders.

Tankfully I can ignore some of the rare field conversions...Bisons, Diana's...

and the armored vehicles that showed up in numbers of less than 5, like STuG D's...

[Mysthalin]

I think Salan's trying to bribe me into playing his mod by adding Crusaders.

Subtle.

[salan]

the model pics i saw for them were really cool too!

[Mysthalin]

Yeah, sure.

I'm now wondering if I get to push it as far as having custom porn skins on all the tanks. ;P.
