New Unit Series: MP40 9/20/09

[Adler17]

Yes, I meqant Heil Hitler. And yes, after seeing it again, you're right. No problems.

I think that at civ scale, it does look a bit like he's grabbing the grip and not the magazine.

 

[General 666]

Deutscher Gruß? You mean the Heil Hitler salute? I didn't use a Deutscher Gruß for this unit. If you notice, his fidget is drinking water and his victory is a "yahoo" motion.

As far as his grip, I guess I can adjust that a little in the Attack animation but it should be fine for the default and fun animations.

Indeed ,the "Heil Hitler salute" was called "Deutscher Gruß" or "Hitler Gruß".

There`s absolutly NO need for further adjustments ,I think. The Unit can stay like it is.

Erm, superb unit. And I don't want to critizise that much. However, no soldier would have hold the weapon at the magazine. It would crack the gun.

Adler

What do you mean by that? Is this weapon that fragile? I have little experience with German weapons from the second world war, but I carried a rifle derisively referred to as a "mattel toy," and never damaged it by holding the magazine. Is it the lack of a mag well?

 

[General 666]

I like the white shirt, but I think it may have been better with a rifle for early what if marines (like WWI).

I like playing AoI. The german "Naval Infantry" El Justo is curenntly using is the "Boer Rifleman" ,I think. So if you put him a Rifle in the hands ,I surely would use him for AoI. I can hardly say what El Justo thinks about this ,but I second the idea of Steph.
But I wouldn`t talk of better.

mhhh- there used to be a WWI era postcard pic on the net depicting such a German landing team, white shirts, dark trousers, with rifles, sailor hats and sun helmets. Will see if I can still find it. Was ages ago that I stumbled over it.

[Gary Childress]

You're most welcome!

[Redback]

Many thanks m8!

 

[Ozymandias]

Yay! Gary's back, ready for Bastogne

BTW, running "Gebirgsjager" through the Google translator app yields, "Orogenic Jager". Go figure

Thanks For Adding This Under The Tree,

Oz

 

[Ares de Borg]

Cool, Gary's back! Thank you very much for these nice units! I especially like the Gebirgsjäger.

 

[Wolfhart]

Great to see Gary back again, and still producing those wonderful units!

Now Germany only lacks the early infantryman in feldgrau uniform with jackboots to replace that icky piece from PTW...

 

[Redback]

Maybe he also has a suprise for New Year

 

[BadKharma]

It is a wonderful surprise to see you return with new units! Thank you for the presents and I hope you continue to make more.

 

[Gary Childress]

Happy Holidays Civfanantics!! I added a new unit to this series, a Fallschirmjager.

It's only been a year since the last update!

 

[Wotan49]
