A World in Arms: WW2 armies

Ozymandias said:

Wyrm did make a JagdPanther as well as several stripes of Hetzer. Also, although I know that it's "fashionable" among some to deride his pre-Wyrmshadow work, I still find that ripptide's old units have a certain quaint charm; among his creations are (likewise) a JagdPanther & Hetzer, as well as a JagdTiger & Elefant.

- Nonetheless, I have to agree with you that the lack of a Jagdpanzer IV is, if nothing else, at least statistically puzzling.


Cheers,

Well Oz,
I can´t find any Jagdpanther or Hetzer made by Ripptide in the DB. Surely his very old units are very fine stuff, just image they are made almost 10 years ago what I can see.
Yes most of them have been re-made by Wyrmshadow and others that improved them with better skills and programs, but they can still fill a nice role in mods IMHO.

I do value that a Jagdpanzer IV will pop up, since it was like the StuGs used by Germans in very great numbers (I think). Much more common than Tigers and Panthers.

Oz, if you got a Jagdpanther and/or a Hetzer by Ripptide perhaps you might add them to the DB, since I can´t find any today. Always nice to have several versions to select from.

Thank you Imperator for info about those tank destroyers .... ;-)

Anyhow, whatever you got is more than merry. Thanks in advance and I hope you publish some of these babies very soon. Please don´t wait until ALL is done. Fear that anything could happend until then. I seen "creators" drop away before during my short time in this forum.

My point exactly

And probably too late to make requests but I am just wondering how MG42 crew as in attached file could look in the game

Thank you I think I figured out how I inadvertently deleted it while playing with other .zip files. It's always good to know I'm not going bonkers.

Thanks gents,
but then in a "sea" of model/units it´s not easy to find everything. I fear that many more great units have not made it into the DB. Especially those older but golden ones.

To add to the confusing situation whats in and whats not I think I found some other old units that was made by Riptide but I can´t find them in the DB
M22 Locust, M2A4 and a different SdKfz 250-9.
But I'm sure Wyrmshadow made some newer models that works just as good,

Beg to differ, but none of these mentioned are in that list. This is what has been confusing. Oz and Wotan found some and I found some others on some old DVDs.
What I understand they are remnants from an old forum, Cdgroup, and not all have been added to this DB. Correct me if I´m totally wrong.

Now this topic has been drifted out from the meaning of this thread and we better drop it, since we now just wait for Imperators great collection, He will surely fill in many blanks from the great model makers on this forum.

However to close this I will upload the 3 found if anyone wants them.

All 3 back in the Civ3 Industrial Units db

Thank you so very much Oz,
and yes I can see some unaccounted for

The Matilda tank,
the Heinkel He 51
and the IKV 91.

So if you please

and I will regain faith (if I ever lost it )

Hm a slight correction that your three images is not the same as mine. You got the Sherman not the M2A4 Light tank, the M4A3E8 Sherman was already in the DB. I don´t see the M2A4 in your list so perhaps I should upload it (if I can)

Oz, don't wait for request - pull them all into the DB. Who needs - will choose.
Thanks for keeping the history.

I found an online directory with all sorts of Osprey books in PDF that may or may not be of some use as reference material in regards to uniforms, equipment, and such for all sorts different combatants.

Ah, my dear friend, I have hundreds if not thousands ( ) of files not in the d/b; I re-upload them as time permits; one may always inquire

Ask & ye shall receive : ripptide's Matilda, He 51, & IKV 91 back in db. (BTW, you do know that both rhodie & Wyrmshadow made fine Matildas, and Wyrmshadow an He-51 ... ?)

- And sorry about the mixup If you mean the early US M2, there's a fine Wyrmshadow, gwendoline, and Ares de Borg collaboration in the db already.

... And OOPS! - Sincerest apologies, Andrea, didn't mean to thread-jack!

Hi Wotan49. Difficult reasponse. This pack is absolutely the great pack I ever made. I have stated from an idea: ok I must made all the most know tank/armored units, other than infantry units, but where is the new idea that do my pack different from others very very good pack? So I have think to add most possible tank/armored units never seen here at civ's fanatics. This idea push to me to made by myself a lot of unit (tanks/armored) starting from scratch model or for someone from nothing. This work is obiouvsly difficult and slow, but I'm very happy because I have just made an interesting amount of new and never seen units. If I have a bit of time I will post here some preview and waiting your comments.
