WW2 Unit Graphics

[CurtSibling]

Wow! That is a serious amount of sausage-scoffing power! Nice work, Fairline!

 

[techumseh]

Simply grand! A massive body of work, extremely well done. I especially like the Me-410 and the He-219. And thank you for the glider, it's just what I need for Seelowe.

If anyone can think of anything I've missed out, let me know and I'll add them for the final version to be posted by Tootal

A Ratte and a Monster walk into a bar.

"What's this?" snaps Albert Speer, "A joke?!"

 

[Fairline]

OK , I had to look that one up. A P1000 Ratte I take it? Not sure I could do justice to the size of this thing. That has to be the world's fattest ratte!

 

[Broken_Erika]

If it had actually been built, the moment they tried to drive it anywhere it would have become a subterranean tank.

 

[CurtSibling]

The book "My Tank is Fight" covers the Ratte and other mad WW2 "what-if" weapons...Various stories project
what would happen if these monster tanks were used...A flight of B-17s take out the Ratte on it's first mission.

20 Tiger tank units could be made with the same resources. What a silly waste of time...Speer cancelled the thing, quite rightly.

@Fairline : Amazing as always!

Meanwhile, this little guy flew by to say hi:

[Fairline]

Excellent! I'll add him into the sheet.

 

[Tanelorn]

@Fairline Hey, thanks
And a most obscure floatplane, the Fairey IIIF:

Fourteen served the Greek navy between 1929 and 1941.

Some minor tweaks to my Neubaufahrzeug and T-35, the Neubaufahrzeug still looks......iffy. Especially the rear MG turret.
Multi-turrets are hard...

Yeah, we'd have to triple the size of Civ2's sprite sheets to make it work.
The Monster was even worse.

 

[Broken_Erika]

Anyone remember who made this? I found it in my units folder (i still have pretty much every unit released here and at apolyton in there....The folder is over 4GB )

 

[CurtSibling]

Looks like it was from the Vendetta/Soviet Steel-era of MGE scens...Not sure if I had a hand in making it or was it Harry-Tuttle?

Damn, I had meant to put that in the German sheet but forgot. I'll fix that. I already have the Russian multi-turret you drew in the Soviet compilation.

Lunacy. The thing I like about the side-view pic of the Ratte posted above is that it is shown to scale with an E-100 next to it for comparison, which would have been the next biggest tank in the world if both of these had been made. Clearly a bit of gun-barrel-envy going on between the designers of the Ratte and E-100.

Wing fix for the Hs126:

Doing the Fw189 next.

 

[gapetit]

Fairline, Tanelorn and B_E...

 

[Tanelorn]

@gapetit :thx, G!
The Fw 189 Uhu:

Hello Gapetit and thanks

@ Tanelorn. Take all the time you need over getting these right; I can wait before adding them to the final compilation. (Let me know when you've finished so I can post a final version )

I tweaked your Arado a tad to reposition the left float. Hope that's OK

@ Erika: tweaked your Neubaufahrzeug a tad. Hope that's OK too
