release separate country packs please, and players could load just the ones they want.
No need to hold back because of the size! 
Ok, separate packs, as much in one/two weeks upload them, because I have work, and slow connection.
¿ UK, FRA, ITA, GER, USA, CHI, SOV ? ¿ Any more?
¿ Mediafire?

i think sprite packs for the major powers would be just fine...UK,FRA,ITA,GER,JAP,CHI,USA,USSR....
Ok, ill upload all of nations, that i can, in separate packs.
I will create a thread tomorrow, GER, USA, ENG, are finished

Sounds great poxolo, one thing you might try is using only one level of sprite for infantry, marines, para, etc to save some room.
It has been such a long time... whatever happened to this? Maybe just GER sprites? All the normal HOI2 packs don't work properly with DH because it has different numbering of models...
OK, this calls for a special sprite rant, and in particular, an infantry sprite rant
This thread is typical of the HOI2/AOD/DH sprite-seeker's experience - two people promising to upload sprites (that are supposed to be already produced) and then not delivering.
How long has the HOI2 series been out now? In many ways the graphics have improved immensely in recent years. The DH map is excellent, and when you put the DEC enhancement over the top it looks superb.
Then there are the various graphic improvements for things like the sliders and the tech trees, all excellent.
Meanwhile, you can download Kazoo's SKIF style icons or, if you prefer, the Cpack Style ones
And let's not forget Francesco's Models Mod
All these things are great, but at the same time they only serve to highlight the huge gulf between the most recently introduced visual enhancements and the sprites!
Some people have put packs together, but they tend to be a hotch-potch of various styles - realistic, good-looking sprites alongside ugly disproportioned cartoonish ones that walk in strange ways. Some are single-soldier, some groups of three - it's quite a mess.
I've looked all over for a decent set of single-soldier realistic infantry sprites. You can actually find some good ones - as long as you only want the Germans! People always start with them, and then give up! I've found multi-level sprites for German infantry, German mountain troops, German marines, German paratroopers, German militia. For example:
By the way, I've found that any HOI or AoD sprites can be adapted to DH no problem.
But can I find just one decent French infantry sprite, or a decent Japanese one? No!
Many good sprites such as the ones shown above can be found on one of Puma's threads on the DMP site You have to download them individually, but there's some good stuff there.
Unfortunately, many of Puma's other sprites are only accessible if you download his whole pack or the additional patch, called Sprite-Paket Patch v.1.2 AoD, and you can only do that by registering at the DMP site, which doesn't send you the activation code!!!
So, please, if anybody could post up just some decent British, French, American, Italian, Soviet, Japanese etc infantry sprites, I'd be very grateful.
Or, if you are registered at DMP, please tell them to fix the registration-activation problem so I can at least have a look at Puma's sprite packs.

I had posted this a couple of years back. Hasn't been updated in awhile but I think most of the links work.

I also have some old Cobra, Puma, DMP, and HSR sprites on a damaged hard drive that, sadly, I cannot get to work or extract any files.
If you guys want, I can post the Sprite pack that I currently use for DH, but I warn you now, it's UNLEVELED and far from perfect. It will also require you to modify your country CSV file so that all countries can use their country-specific Sprites.
One question though, how do I easily find out which tags are assigned to which nations? Not the easy ones like GER, but the U09 type tags. Thanks!

No problem, good sir!
Please share your glorious work when you are done. For years I've embraced the real men use counter philosophy, but I've been hankering for some sprites as of late.
Yeah, but sprites take up huge amounts of memory and Puma was probably very aware of this, and I would imagine he did his best to approximate a suitable sprite for whatever country? Plus of course, all the extra work involved for differentiating national sprites.
There are tons of leveled Sprites on Puma's site covering all kinds of nations. The problem is that they're leveled for AOD/HOI2 and no one (including myself) wants to rename and reconfigure them for DH. It's very tedious even if you have the RenameIt tool. That's why I picked out my favorite Sprites and kept them unleveled. I'll post my work here over the weekend if I have the time, but you'll probably be disappointed Chicken Spage. Plus I've had an incredibly hard time finding a working Soviet and Minor's Light Panzer Sprite.
I don't mind renaming files to produce the right effect!
In order to compensate for the relatively high number of my infantry sprites and keep the number of files down I've sacrificed some of BeBro's work. For example, I only use one generic battleship for all countries, one generic carrier and one generic CAS. I've also removed the interceptors and the motorised infantry sprites. I don't use any TAC sprites and have only one generic transport plane and HQ. So, in fact I don't have any more sprite files than someone who uses all BeBro's sprites and has full sets of TACs, etc. I probably have fewer, in fact. This seems to keep the game running quickly.
Don't worry Pasha, I'm used to disappointments when it comes to sprites, and if I only find one that I can use I'll be happy enough.
