Sd.Kfz 251 (one with rocket launcher , one with cannon)

[nautil]

Here is my next land unit - german halftrack, Sd.Kfz 251 . i made two modifications - one is Sd,kfz 251/1 with Wurfrahmen rocket launcher attached, and one is Sd,Kfz/9 with 75mm low velocity gun. So i think the first can be used as a SAM unit in the game and second as a mobile artillery. Both models are animated, though the one with rockets animated only partially, to my regret i didn't manage to make rocket brackets rotate properly, so i canceled this at all. Nevertheless it look quite ok in the game.

Polycount:
Sd.Kfz 251/1 - 1276
Sd.Kfz 251/9 - 998

To my great frustration such unit was already made by snafusmith, but i invested so much effort in this models that simply had to submit it. Besides, the unit made by snafusmith can be used as mechanized infantry, and my as SAM and mobile artillery.
Now i'm making russian multiple rocket launcher Katyusha, i desperately hope that it still wasn't created yet.

P.S how to add new units guide

Heck, the more the better, right? Besides, now all this means is that I don't have to make mine into the Wurfrahmen model (which was planned and researched, but not modelled). Very nice, especially with the modeling.

Looks great nautil. A very small nitpick about the texture though - for some reason you made the rocket barrels look like a lens (with a glare) instead of like basically a black hole.

Very cool. Like smitty said, the more the merrier.

Just my 2 cents:
The "Wurfrahmen"-Version, also known as "Stuka zu Fuss" ("walking Stuka") was supposed to bombard ground targets and not as a SAM.
Suggestion: Give the standard version the capabilty to transport an Infantry-Unit, use the Canon-Version as Mech. Inf. and the Rocket-Version as Artillery.

P.S.
Good work, they look really good.

The great thing about your units is that they are similar in colour and tone of Firaxis created ones. They are not as jarring to they eyes when you look upon them ingame when compared to the vanilla units.

Great work! Your units looks a lot different with the added weapos on them, so I wouldn't wory about the same model having been made before.

nautil: I have a Katyusha & a 30's truck (based on the katyusha) models for you if you want them. I made them myself, but I think they look good enough for civ.

The models are textured or i should map it ?
