[Mini Mod] Upcoming 2D Sprite Mini-Mod for DH

[novapaddy]

Nice work! I'll be following this with interest.

Could you show us how the north and south versions look scaled down on the map?, I'm not yet convinced that they wouldn't be OK.

This is the Panther tank front elevation in the game:

Will this only be Germany? Wonderful, by the way.

No. The Fatherland is nearly done. The Motherland is next...

I'm hoping to post a mod with just the Fatherland done, soon.

hmmm... following.

I've been busy doing Support Arms for the Panzer Divisions:

 

[Haze340]

Hmm. I might just use these over counters..

Wait lo like is it only divs or also brigades, cause i would find it awsome to actuly see the MAUS

Well I think from reading other posts, that brigade structures are coming to DH in the next patch? But on the map, it doesn't make any difference. MartinBG gave me the idea of doing Support Arms for Divs, so I did that. You could think of the elements as brigades making up divs?

So the Panzer Divs will include support arms. I'll try to get the correct panzerwagons with the correct panzers? Any info regarding this would be appreciated.

Just for you: K100 Tiger MAUS. I drew it a few minutes ago.

Wow thnx but shouldnt the turret be more to the back?

The K100 Tiger Maus weighed 200 tons and the Germans only ever built 1 prototype, then the Russians overran the factory and that was that!

I don't expect to use this in the game, as I'm pretty sure the Tiger 2 is the heaviest tank in WW2 DH?

 

[novapaddy]

I'm getting near the end of Germany's sprites, as I'm only doing Land Forces for now. And I might even leave the Cav sprites as they are, as the one's I'm thinking of, were excellent. MotherRussia is next. I'm intending to post Germany's Land Forces and see what reaction I get, and judge if it's worth doing more afterwards. Although I'll probably just carry on for myself anyway.

Does anyone have a special request for a German unit, that they haven't already seen in this post, that they'd like to see. I'd like to oblige you if I can?

Mechanized/motorized infantry, please.

This actually looks really cool, I hope to one day download your sprite mod.

yeah, on reflection, I think you are right. Updated: Turret elongated and squashed a little. Better?

Yes thats looks awsome im totally gonna download this mod

 

[Kurfürst]

This idea of yours is absolutely brilliant! The screenshots of your three-sprite divisions look great. I will totally download this.

This is the Panther tank front elevation in the game:

It doesn't look too bad. I suppose a 45-degree view looking down from the front would be better, but that would be much more tricky.

Anyway, you should probably just stick to east and west for now and only think about other directions when you've done every sprite. You might have had enough by then.

By the way, you are doing infantry as well, aren't you? Don't leave us with those worms!

Thanks Chicken Spadge for our comments: I was thinking that the frontal view was too small and hard to see. I've not done any angled-views as yet, as it's an enormous job as it is to just do the side views, and cover all the possible vehicles/tanks.
Yes I am doing infantry etc, but currently I'm using the models in the game, as they are. They do look good, and why reinvent the wheel? They are in the game already.
As with most mods, depending on time available, (and currently I've loads), I hope to expand the mod and improve it as I proceed.
I'm won't "announce /post" the mod until I have Germany at least done. I may throw in a few Soviet tanks, just to get me started on the next country...
.. and definitely, No More Worms!

I just want to gauge if I'm on the right track.....? Comments appreciated.
