Here is a preview of my new unit project, a German Sturmgeschütz IV tank killer.

Wunderbar !!!

U guys are getting sooo goood (feel small with my pixels )

 

[Pablostuka]

Hi W.i.n.t.e.r!!One qüestion...what means "Sturmgeschütz" in English?
Have a nice day!

 

[Pachy]

doesnt it mean assault gun or somthing like that?

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

Assault Gun captures the meaning quite well (Sturm = Storm aka. attack or assault; Geschütz = Gun)

 

[Pablostuka]

Thanks!

 

[Losqualo]

Yes, Sturmgeschütz means assault gun. It's primary role was Infantry support, but it was effective against tanks as well. They were often used in armoured divisions when there weren't enough tanks available.

The real tank killer based on the PzKpfWg IV would be the Jagdpanzer IV.

Hey, nonnob3!!!It's time to update the German Unit's index!!There are a lot of new German units in the forum, and we need to have updated the index!!

 

[nonnob3]

Pablo, I'm on it.........give me a few miniutes

 

[nonnob3]

Pablostuka , this thread should be a STICKY.
Can we ask Dark Sheer to create it?

 

[Pablostuka]

Hi, nonnob3!! I like your Civ3 infantry modification for Germany .
I'm not sure about being this thread a sticky. Stickys are for important unit creation topics (as unit requests, sounds requests, new ideas..etc). But our team isn't a general Civilization 3 topic, you know. It's just my opinion...I prefer leaving it as is now . Also, remember that are several people being "offended" by our german units
Have a nice day, buddy!

To all civ fans:
I have noticed that on the Flammenwefer, the "S" attack direction is a little low and close to the end of the circle.
I will make proper adjustments and post the correction as soon as I got some time.
Sorry about that.

Never mind, I noticed actually that when The Flammenwerfer attacks on the S position it's blowing the flames right on to the enemy unit. Looks cool to me

I wanted to ask Incubus if I can use is General Leader unit to create an Infantry type unit for the game.
I am planning to create a German Officer (still have to find a proper name) that will have a machine gun for attack.
Also I might even ask Smoking mirror if I can use his Sailor unit to create a German unit as well.
I will modify it a little (like changing the blue colors to gray,etc.)...
Just future plans

I have looked at his General- it is a slightly bigger scale than your previous units... about the sailor: if it is to be a WWII German Naval Infantry one it should not be gray yet dark blue with a dark helmet. Normal sailors would be of a dark blue/black uniform (I think in Summer the shirt was white)

 

[nonnob3]

Winter,
I will probaly combine both units (example: by taking the hat off the General and replacing the Sailor one)
Also, I might plan to use the Leader Flag, modify it placing the Nazi flag and put it together with this unit. Now, I know that this might be "disliked" but there are a lot of civ3 fans, like me, that has Fascism in there game or play the WWII mods.
So if I will complete this, whoever does not lke this unit, just don't download it.

I perfectly agree and support your views, Buddy - Y don't you make a red flag with a white circle as default and add one bit of the Svastika per unit in the army?

ps
(I sent you the Leibstandarte files- unfortunatly I just realised that I mistakenly deleted the default flc before sending it- I hope there is still a useable unit somewhere in that zip)

 

[nonnob3]

I see that you are in the "same ball game"
Yes I might also add this flag to all German Units
I think I am going to work on the Flag this week.
I have not started yet on the Fusilier...but I came up with this idea last night and I am starting to like it.
It will take me some time, but I think I can get this done.
And I'll check into your Leistandarte unit.
Do you know a good ranking officer name for the German unit?
Maybe I should ck on www.feldgrau.com ...

Like the name of the officer or the rank ?? (and should that be Heer or SS, etc ?)


BTW- if you can look at it and tell me what I have to do to convert these into useable flc files that would help a lot already...

 

[nonnob3]

I think I found a name: Fähnrich (Officer Candidate)
What do you think?
