Had little time to work on the mod in the last bunch of days but still progress has been made, Japan should be very near to its completion.
After the new bombers preview, here's is a look at the new fighters:
And now, a first look at something I have been toying with for some time and have finally decided to show it to you (still very WIP though):
I would like to hear opinions, in the future it could become a new option insted of the classical paper background, assuming people like it.

Its worth to be an option, if it not slow down the main work. Paper background with decent markings is still nice background aswell.
Bomber, ship and tank backgrounds are suitable for all nations, while fighter ones looks japanese, but you know it for sure hehe

Yes I know, I'm planning to have a set of generic backgrounds that will work for all nations, then slowly add, where possible, a few country specific backgrounds (like those pacific islands for Japanese CAGs).
Anyway... this is something that is going to happen later and it's not going to take priority on the main mod.
First of the idea is beautiful.
The naval variant is already perfect.
I like that you used different backgrounds depending on the altitude for airunits.
The background of the two air pictures are imo a bit to bright/colorful, some tone adjustments would be good.
The Landunit pic doesn't really work for me yet, the "perspective" feels a bit off. Perhabs move the horizon a bit lower? I don't know, better wait for some more feedback.

I like it. Reminds me kinda of the SKIF-Icons Mod, although it was for Unit Icons
The only remark i have is, that the Tank lacks a shadow. It looks like it´s floating on the ground.
Don't worry about things like colors, shadows etc.... it's still very early, rushed stuff that still needs a lot of tweaking.
No problem as it will in any case still remain as the default background. These new ones, assuming I will take the time to release them, will be optional.

Very nice Francesco!
There is a mistake with the Ki-43 Hayabusa, the image corresponds to the Ki-61 Hien

The naval one looks amazing
Another mistake with the japanese fighters which is present in DH database (and HOI2) :
Ki-44 Shoki, J2M3 Raiden, should be interceptors
ki-43 hayabusa, ki-61 Hien and Ki-84 hayate should be fighter bombers
Ki-44 Shoki, J2M3 Raiden, should be interceptors
ki-43 hayabusa, ki-61 Hien and Ki-84 hayate should be fighter bombers
Yes, and the same happens with P-51 which is tagged as interceptor, or with F-86 sabre which is also tagged as interceptor...
I must say i love the new background,pictures themselves are amazing but that naval background is great i wouldnt mind that at all.
The pictures looks a bit too peacefull to me though...it might look better, to put a picture of that bomber razing a city(bombs falling,flames etc.)
It would kinda remind me its purpouse so i wouldnt let it sit on a base.
And the third picture could do similar thing adding a carrier below it or something similar(taskforce with CV in behind)...so it would remind what it is for.
Big ships could have fire at their muzzles etc..
And having that TigerII set in a field that looks like after vicious tank battle could look awesome..
But thats just my thoughts i can understand that the pictures themselves are the main work everybody is looking for and by all means you done amazing job with all that pictures(as always).

IMO models is as perfect as can be in profile perspective. But if people like it, bring it on.
If we are to take the step to represent the units in their natural environment, i'd prefer a 3D variant like below. But still, I think I would prefer the current more minimalistic and standardized models
