found it ! took me long enough cause sharpening the edges didnt work ingame, it was : Remove Custom Split Normals: If shading is still broken, go to the Object Data Properties tab, find Geometry Data, and click Clear Custom Split Normal Data.

Vehicles in the mod:
All textures but for a couple are my own with details supplemented from real life pictures
,

I also heavily remodelled each vehicle in blender so it would fit in AB2.

Also made all specific weapons and ammo in the AB2 database.

BREN CARRIER NOW IN GAME
Now will work on its texture, made special squadra of 4 soldiers for it

Desert rats, bersaglieri and Afrikakorps as they all used each others vehicles..

Still remember the british sarge bangibg on the hood to make it start in the longest day... engine is in the back ! Lol
Look how small it is compared to the m3 half track

how it's done : Bren gun for the Bren Carrier (maybe later for the infantry ?)

You don't get enough love amigo!

Thanks for all your hard work. The creators need to thank you for my purchase of the game. If it wasn't for your efforts, I wouldn't have bought the game.

Universal carrier aka bren carrier coming along, they had 13 + 1 hq per company

already made the squads of 4 infantry for it , allies and axis alike as both used them, then Tsahal of course

Bren gun done


now have bren with bren gun and mg (optional), bren piat and bren flame . Bren Gun (rl texture)

Now I juat read about a very little known campaign:

Australian troops go up from Israel to Lebanon and Syria fighting the Vichy french

So my Golan map could be used there

Just need a Vichy faction now

Australian troops, primarily the 7th Division of the Second Australian Imperial Force (AIF), fought a challenging five-week campaign against Vichy French forces in Syria and Lebanon between 7 June and 12 July 1941.

Operation Exporter aimed to prevent German forces from using these territories to threaten British bases in the Middle East and come down to Egypt

Australian troops faced stiff resistance, engaging in fierce battles in rugged terrain, including the crossing of the Litani and Damour rivers and the capture of Merdjayoun.

Units Involved:

The 7th Division was the primary force, supported by British, Indian, and Free French troops.

Outcome:

The campaign was a strategic victory for the Allies, resulting in a ceasefire on 12 July 1941.

Vichy French Armor

Renault R35: The primary tank, with approximately 90 in service, featuring a 37mm gun. They were effective against Allied infantry and light vehicles.
Renault FT-17: Older World War I-era light tanks used for static defense.
Hotchkiss H35: A small number were used by Free French forces supporting the Allies.

Allied (British, Australian, Free French) Armor

Marmon-Herrington Armoured Cars: Used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces for reconnaissance.
Universal Carriers (Bren Carriers): Used for infantry support.
Light Tank Mk VI: Used in limited numbers.
Captured R35s: The 6th Australian Divisional Cavalry repurposed captured Vichy R35s.
