I have not tested this any time but I'm pretty sure you can't have two types of infantry graphics on the same (national) side at the same time. If anybody knows, drop us a note here!

hi.
this may be a stupid question but ... how (and where) do I install those winter camo icons?
And how they work? I mean: I install them and then any time I play a battle in winter units that have winter cammo will apear? or I have to do something else or it is something only for scenarios design?
thank
Gallo

There are no stupid questions...
Just copy the files into SPWaW shp folder. They'll replace the normal ones and you'll have them in the game. They can be used for battles/scenarios or for scenario editing. If you want to restore the old graphics, then just copy the normal shp-files into some safe place at first. The summer/winter camo folders include the same files, so you can change between them...There's no easier a way this time...
all the best

Hi guys!
I like very much playing winter battles so I'm really happy with these winter icons. They are a really great job

however ... I notice that all T-34/76 types have the same winter icon. This is not a problem for T-34m41, T-34m41E and T-34m42, which were almost the same tank except for internal features, up-armor or other minor changes ... but T-34m43 turret (the so called "mickey mouse") was pretty diferent. You know: it had a completely diferent hexagonal turret whith two round hatches instead of the single large one of the previous versions.

I wonder if there is any plan of making a specific winter icon for the T-34m43

best,

Gallo Rojo

Hi Gallo Rojo!

This is a question I have been waiting for a while... the problem is that I did not have the necessary information on T-34s. I was not sure witch icon fits the best for different T-34s. I'm interested to fix this problem anyway. It would be very kind to have a proper picture/photo taken from the top/deck structure of a T-34m43! If someone knows where I could find this, please drop here a link!

I have seen a T-34 with a (hexagonal turret?) whith two round hatches already. It was the green one I did not edit. I'm not sure if I edited it to a winter camo or not...I must check this!

And the other types... you saying they're all okay?

Thanks for the information!

HJ

I'm trying to attach a picture of a T-34m43 (picture says T-34m43/42, but is the model we are talking about, it appears on late 1942 and was the major improvenment in T-34 tank since the begining of the war carrying the new hexagonal turret).

This is the T-34m43 tank by the sure. And it used to be painted white during winters

Other types are OK, IMHO.
All T-34/76 tanks where basically the same tank except for the turrets.

Ammong them T-34m41 and 42 had the same turret (the one with the single big hatche), while T-34m43 had a new hexagonal turret (better armored mantelette and more confortable for the crew).
There were diferent versions whithing the m41 & 42 large-single-hatche turrets and withing the hexagonal m43 turret (the so called "laminate", "softedge" and "hard-edge" versions .... there can be others but I don't remember) ... but those diferences are very small as to be apreciated in SP Icons.

So it's OK for the game that T-43m41 and T-34m42 as well as T-34E-m41 have the same winter Icon.
Only T-34m43 was different

Gallo Rojo · Post by **Gallo Rojo** » Wed Apr 23, 2003 5:21 pm

and here is the T-34m41 with the only-hatche, that the same than T-34m42 ... in fact, although the picture says that is a T-34m41 this is IMHO a T-34m42, since the m41 hatche to access to the engine was rectangular ... while the engine hatche of the T-34m42 (and all following variants) was circular, as it is on the picture.

I hope that his helps!

Best,

Gallo Rojo

Thanks! I'm sure this will help to edit these types, both in the summer and winter versions. I hoped for one link and you post here a whole study on these types! You must know much about this...Well don't wait for instant updates, I'll edit them when it suits on my timetable!

Thanks again
