Hello Lucas!
First of all, congrats for your posts about history of vehicles, this will be very useful for modders and scenario conceptors.
The only problem is that you write it in spanish, may be you could interest more people by writing it in english ( no probelma par mi, entiendo espanol tambien!).
You suggestion about new units is true, of course, there are many mechanical and humans many many times represented, but we pust keep in mond that very few of them are nice! Recently, there has been big efforts to make authentic and nice looking units  ( mainly trippelxxxx and me ;-)) so we should discard old ugly units.
I began a series of Pz IV late because I think the existing ones were not as good as we can expect: the original pzIV F2 is ugly and lacks details, the models from RfB are not true: bad size, bad proportions, skins not accurate, there has never been any Pz IV F2 with skirts ( I have been studying this topic for twenty years and I have never seen any photographic evidence of such a tank).. There are only a few  good african vehicles ( british or german, may be the best are italian).There is no good panther at all: the models of rfb are as usual too small and lack details, even the very good looking panther of Trippel xxx is not an ausf G: it is a modified ausf D with dustbin cupola, it is fitted with nice IR devices but that's all! ( and I don't even speak about the completely surrealistic "Vampyr panther !).
That's why I begin a series of authentic vehicles, I think that we must keep a high level of authenticity in our game, or it will turn into a bullshit game instead of a good historical RTS..I think that we have not yet any good sherman too. I intend to make a series soon.
Your suggestions of vehicles is good, I will try to work on them when I have enough time.
OK, sorry for some "hard" evaluations, but I think this had to be told..
Any way, keep the good work and congrats agin for your work!

Hi, PantherG.

Thank you for your compliments. I also regret not to offer all this information about vehicles
that appear in "CP3" in English. But my knowledge of this language are not enough.
I agree with you in your opinions. The units that appear on CP3 aren't an exact copy at many cases.
However, it would be nice to add new units to existing ones. At least, provide some from time to time.
The "fans" do not reject the new versions, but they prefer vehicles and tanks that are not in CP3.
In any case, thank you for your work.

Hey, PantherG.

How do you create new units? Do you use Max Studio?

I wish you could make a little explanation about what do yo need for making new units and saying what are the basic steps for create them.

Thanks in advance!


The engine of the Panzer is a weapon just as the main-gun.
Regards from Spain.

Montymontanam, sorry to answer you so late, I was busy lately!
To create a new unit, it is really a hard work, believe me! Especially if you want to get a high quality.
I will soon publish a tutorial on the site, because it is too long to exopalin it here ina few words.
You will need of course 4d Java editor to finish your work, but also a 3D editor such as 3DSmax, blender or any other.
3DS max is expensive, but really excellent. You will need also a good graphic editor such as Photoshop.
See you soon for the tutorial.

Congratulations Panther G! Cromwell was very nice and the Pz 4 is amazing! Nearly photorealistic. Have you thought about other vehicles? I think little more water combat vehicles. A lot of fuel is already in the mod Panzers. It is true that these are extremely beautiful I've just shown you. I think with a few more warships operating in the game, which rolled much more.

I'm looking forward to the new tank to be downloaded.

Thanks for your compliments Jagdflieger, I will soon release the collection of Pz IV H and J ( late war). My next project is to deal with african vehicles, as we have only a few good vehicles, and I think some soldiers deserve also some "refurbishing"!So I will also finish the map of Villers Bocage and the scenarios .
See you soon!


The well known Pz IV H "Steffi" 6/II/SSPzRgt 12
 


Pz IV ausf J 7/I/SSPZRgt 1 ( LAH).

Thanks for the detailed model! Very beautiful. I downloaded them. Maybe in my next map I use them too. (on Malta I would like to use lighter tanks. And mostly infantry .) What is the next plan? Are You  doing  maps for the new Pz4 panzers?

Thanks to both of you for compliments! My next project is to continue to make good models for my next map: Villers Bocage 1944 ( Wittmann's attack on british tanks june 13th 1944). For this, I need good shermans,I have already made a firefly but I don't like it>( . After that, I plan to make at last a good Panther ( ausf G of course, but also ausf A and D). About other areras of WW2, my big project is to make a mod of my own, depicting west european thetre of operations from Normandy to Ardennen..
You see, a lot of work! See you soon!

Congratulations. The new units are very nice.
But beware the human units. Sometimes they produce errors; especially when entering a building.
