Help Contribute with new TechTeams - second step

I will catch up with the photos. Do not worry.

"So what is your suggestion? Removing Ford, Marmon-Herrington, Christie and replace them with Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant?"

Well, Christie may be good for "what if fantasies," but if I had to drop an existing tech team, I'd drop him and replace him with the Detroit arsenal tank plant. If we do that, maybe DATP should get electronics added to its list of skills. And, if all of those specialties seem too unbalancing at skill 6, then drop them to a 5.

Could you please suggest to which rebel country we can assign the teams that we should remove?

Christie lived in Virginia for much of the time frame, so he should be added to the Confederate states of America.

Here are the pictures I was asked to make:

Serbia:

Milan Nedić


Draža Mihailović


Or this one which has a better quality but his head is slightly cut off:



AUS:

Daimler


GOCH


Hirtenberger - Hopfner


Kurt Gödel


Bundesheer


Österreichische Luftstreitkräfte


Otto Eberhardt Patronenfabrik


Puch


Mauser


Willibald Jentschke


Otto Kauba



LUX:

Lëtzebuerger Arméi Arsenal




If there is something wrong with the pictures, just tell me.
Also, if you need more help with other pictures, don't hesitate to ask me, just send me a private message with the pictures to convert and I will do it asap.

Yes I realize it but I guess that you realize as well I cannot use your pics because are not in the required format.

Okay, I realize that. We had a little misunderstanding. Many of the pictures I rehosted, because the origionals were very large. When I rehosted them, they sometimes were rather slow to appear on the page, and I was worried that for you they were not showing up at all.

Bruno Buchberger: He starts in 1965, and was born in 1942. I think he should be removed. The game ends before he can come into being.

Ok but then we need a replacement: Wolfgang Gröbner, same spicialities but skill 5.

Sounds good to me.

I'm not sure I can do it. Let's say, for example, that a player use the option take the tech teams. Can we consider him still present in Europe if AUstria is conquered?

If this is the idea we should lower the nuclear research skill in USA because many physicist would never emigrate there.

@All
Please let me know your opinion but bear in mind that we should be consistent.

How about we make two teams for him. He ends in 1939, but then comes back again in 1956-1961. We can use the same traits skill and picture.

You do a very nice job aswell. However, can the rifle for Steyr be put diagonally, that is how most of the others like that are doen, and it can then be larger.

Also, can you redo this image, for Sergei Gorshkov. Kunadem did a good job, but I don't think the background should be removed. You can make two, one for the USSR aswell.




Also, is someone going to rename the pictures when they are put into the game. Like Jentschke should be AUS_Willibald_Jentscke or something?

Cardus said:

I'm fine with that but I hope that some modder will make an event in order to prevent this in case of Austria is nazi.

Well, I suppose we could just have him leave in 1939. I wish others would give their opinions aswell.

Willibald Jentschke

Make sure to name this picture Georg Stetter, as he is replacing Jentschke.

If possible an event would be fine.

Here is the new picture for Steyer:


And for Sergei Gorshkov: (I don't know exactly what you meant by "background should be removed", is this what you wanted ?)



Regarding the naming convention, I could rename accordingly the pictures I made and upload them as a .zip if nobody has done it yet. Just keep me posted.

No, you did it good. I meant the background shouldn't be removed, and you left it. Kunadem did a fine job, but he removed the sailors in the background, which I felt looked odd.

Here is his:


Also with George Stetter, can you make one without his head squished? It's nice to have the whole face in, but I'd rather chop the top of his head off or something then squish it, because it looks odd.

I don't mean to be picky, so if you don't wan't to do it you don't have to.

No don't worry, you are right. It does look odd. Here is another picture:



Unfortunately, I can't make his whole face fit in. Maybe someone else could try to make a better picture.

Cardus asked me to have my opinion on the USA tech teams, especially about tanks.
I agree that Christine is a fantasy team.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Walter_Christie

Also Detroit arsenal is a must. It produced the Sherman (along other firms not represented in the game), the emblematic tank of the US forces in WWII. I agree that Detroit should replace Christine. Skill 5 as is now for Christine.
Industrial engineering does not make any difference and looks odd on a tank team anyway. Skill 6 would just increase the speed of research but would not extend it usefulness. However USA at the moment on average is better at researching tanks than the SOV, no need to increase it any further.
It is a well designed set of TT for USA, I was not able to come up with a more sensible one (one where Harmon-Herrington would be a mechanized/motorized team, while Detroit a tank team, and Springfield, Winchester an infantry and US ordnance an artillery team). However I might still try.

Suggestions:
Extend Higgins Industries to 1952. Higgins died that year. And with that he could research all the available marine stuff. Please note, research won't be any quicker by it. New York Naval yard is as good as Higgins. Higgins Industries went out of business after the war, hence the original '46 end date. However would the war be longer, it would surely remained in business.

CSA
Christine can be added as is. However it will make CSA tank development faster. As CSA is a non-historical state is is not much of a problem.
Stanford can be added too as suggested. I cannot asses its power as we do not know the tech tree in the '50s.

I think it is a good picture, there are some other TT's I know where the whole face couldn't fit in, but I think that is better then distorting the image.

Maybe others don't feel this way, IDK.

One thing about Higgins however, is they didn't make ships. They made the Higgins Boat, which was the boat used to transport infantry onto a shore. They should NEVER be as effective a Naval TT as something like the New York Naval Yard.
