Put a meatball (Hinomaru) on either side of the fuselage and you are good to go

Good idea, I shall do so. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The 2000 nose glass is right to the front and that's a simple edit if you want to go that far

Hi RecruitMonty, First of all I want to give you my most sincere compliments for your mod. It's simply fantastic. I hope that one day you will be able to create the Italian oob too. For now I wanted to tell you that in the scenarios you attached some things are missing: the texts of scenarios 574 and 575 and the file 575.dat which makes this last scenario unplayable. Many thanks again for your considerable effort. Max from Florence, Italy

Dear Mappo,

Good afternoon.

Many thanks for bringing this to my attention. I shall take a look what went wrong with the upload and post here, first, when I've fixed it.

I am very pleased to hear that you are enjoying the mod.

Never thought I would see this updated, I still play the original release from time to time. I just spent an evening setting up the 2024 version, thank you very much for your hard work in keeping this project alive. It's been a delight!

Good morning, Gentlemen,

I am very happy to report that a new chapter of the mod is in the offing.

I'll be sharing some screenshots on here in due course of what to expect.

Best Regards,

Monty

Have you thought about adding the new experimental US tanks in the US OOB rather than the Green one?

For us that play campaigns it is the ONLY way to face them.

I know that there is no space available in the US OOB but some lesser units could always be deleted...no?

I had thought about it, but as you say, units from the original OOB would need deleting. Now that's quite far above my pay grade to decide what should go or not go.

Now, those of you, who like to play as the USA in campaign, could give it some thought yourselves, with some rationales for why this or that unit shouldn't be in the main US OOB and perhaps then it may prove doable, but it is a can of worms I personally don't want to open.

Good evening, Gentlemen,

As promised, some screenshots of what to expect in the next release of the mod:

Revised late model Tiger III


Revised "heavy" Leopard 1 - 1A4 with 120mm


A new Panzerjäger - based on the E50 chassis (SPH configuration)


The precursor to the Leopard 2 - The Keiler


Another Leopard 2 prototype (PT11)


The FlakPz. MATADOR


MBB 125B - one of many examples of how the helicopter fleet has been overhauled


Weserflug (VFW) 56


MB 212


Merckle M101-Kranhubschrauber - Merckle had a skeletal proposal for a crane helicopter, this is based on that


MBB VAK-191 (late)


MBB VAK-191 (early)


Kawasaki OH-1


Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MH 2000) - a contribution made possible by Oragus and Don


IJA Paratroops worthy of the name


IJA Airmobile


Anything the army can do we can do better


That concludes, the show and tell portion of the preview.

To the above, I can add that new icons now exist for the FlakPz. Gepard, for almost all of the helicopters (including some new additions, which fill gaps) and Japan finally has finished paratroops (incl. airmobile units and not just for the IJA either).

Some rudimentary attack helicopters have been created for Japan, based on their lighter helicopters (not shown above).

Finally, as you know, I can't leave well enough alone, so I re-worked all of the German and Japanese tank cannons, which I have added, in order to bring them more credibly into line with those of their peers. This was accomplished through the aid of a spreadsheet containing all the pertinent data from the guns already in the game. I know, I should get out more .

Best Regards,

Monty

DRG has mentioned in some of his posts that they are adding extension OOB's for the U.S. and Russia in the next update. Maybe you could put them in there.
