This idea I got from pi8ch,
as of today all Members of our team must post for our "logo" this (example):
Führer of the non-political, non-ideological but historical interested and Civ-stuff creating THIRD REICH TEAM

I like what it states. It's so that no one thinks that we are Nazi Fanatics (God, please never!!!!!!! )

The Official Rankings are posted on the first thread.

Please let me know if you disagree or agree

(I have decided to "promote" pi8ch to =Major= )

(Curtsibling, you are Hauptmann because of the over 3000 posts you have )

Have a Great week-end !!!!!!

 

[nonnob3]

Wanted to welcome our newest THIRD REICH TEAM members:
Polaris & Curtsibling
Welcome aboard!

 

[Polaris]

Hey guys,

This is my first try at making/modifying a unit. I did some tinkering with Pablostuka's and nonnob3's He-111 to come up with an Fw-200 Condor maritime patrol bomber.

I've attached a preview of one of the stills from the Default.flc. What do you think?

I modified the standard bomber Death.flc, but it still looks too B-17ish. Any ideas how I could clean that up?

He nonnob3

Thank's for assiging me the Major!

I was away the whole day yesterday - So I couldn't respond until now....
I love this team, this forum and our work!

Some smilies to represent the feelings:

and of course
[dance]


BTW: When I finished my Legion Etranger I will work on a British Indian Force...
We could make up a new category of Third Reich Team units: "Cannonfodder units" or something like that... in this category we could put non-german units made by the team !

Yours, Foreign-specialist Major pi8ch

Nonnob,

I had an idea for a German specific unit that I would like to share with you and the rest of the Third Reich Team.

What about creating a pioneer unit? It could have the build fortress ability and possibly the build road/railroad ability as well. It could have a modest attack/defense rating so it wouldn't be totally helpless like the worker. It would be able to operate in the dangerous fringe areas of one's empire, or accompany tanks and infantry in the attack. I would also add a limited bombardment ability to reflect a demolition capability.

I would think that some small alteration of the Grenadier, Waffen SS or Leibstandarte would suffice to provide the animation for this unit, so there wouldn't be a lot of work involved.

What does everyone think of this?

Nice idea- the 'Sturmpionier'

How ironic:

General Winter (hehe)- taking into account that the German army (as the French under Napoleon) had to suffer under the wrath of 'General Winter' it is indeed almost a prophetic title....

Starting to look like a Dakota rather (which is also a cool plane if you want t keep this early scetch)- perhaps if the nose is lengthened a bit and made a bit sleeker it will look more like the condor... another possibility yould be to make this one look like a JU-290 (unfortunately these early pics are very blurry and depict the cargo version, NOT the bomber)

 

[pi8ch]

Herr Polaris!

At First a welcome by me!

The Second: Your Link is a bit hardcore I think.. Looks like a Neo-nazi Supporter...
Be careful with such things...


The Third: I think you can't write a "ä" on your English Keyboard!
But no prob: Doubleclick this " Fähnrich " here - then copy it, and then paste it into your Profile-Signature-text - then the "ä" should be there!
BTW: It looks better if you make the Rank in the colors nonnob3 promotes, then the "non-political etc." in "Size=1", and "Third Reich Team" in Red...

 

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

Darn, still haven't found any useable flag to rework for the ss logo... can anybody help ??

 

[pi8ch]

What exactly do you need?
Just the runes? Or a specific flag?

 

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

Hmmm, I am looking for a small animated flag that can be retouched to black. I want to paste in the SS runes, so in the end it will be similar to the flag in Nonnob's wehrmacht default...

 

[pi8ch]

Why not just taking Nonnob's flag, then painteing it into balck / dark grey pixels - then painting the runes onto it in white / light grey?

BTW: I just noticed that pixel-painting is far more easy with an exact optical mouse instead with an old-fashioned ball-mouse!

i have mine optical mouse for some days now - That's the best PC improvement since the CD-ROM drive!

 

[Polaris]

pi8ch, thank you for the welcome. As for the site, I shall pay more attention next time. I found the images and posted it without reading through the entire text.

Exactly how do I make my rank appear in green and the team name in red? I didn't see any options for this in user cp.

Finally, thank you for the corrected Fahnrich.

 

[pi8ch]

Polaris...

No Prob! in the Signature you can use the same tags as in the normal post!

The simplest thing os to click on "reply" to open a post window - and then choose the wanted color and type somethin in.. then you just copy this Color tag into your Signature!

e.g. in my case:

<COLOR=sienna>Major</COLOR> of the <SIZE=1>non-political, non-ideological but historical interested and Civ-stuff creating </SIZE><COLOR=RED>THIRD REICH TEAM</COLOR>

i just wrote the "<" here instead of the "[" brackets...

 

[Polaris]

pi8ch, thank you again. As you can see, your instructions were right on the money.

I see what you mean, and yes, it does look a bit chunky for a Kondor. Now that you mention it, it reminds me of a Douglas DC-4 airliner. Anyway, here is a revised image. Is this a bit closer to the mark?

 

[pi8ch]

to Polaris:

"Ausgezeichnet, Herr Fähnrich!"

(that means Excelent Work )

 

[Polaris]

To pi8ch:

Dankeschon Herr Major.

 

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

Still a bit stubby ... and the condor is a rather sleek looking plane...
