Panzerbuchse 28 mm gun on sdks 221

[Keltos01]

modifying the turret since the pz41 was hinged in front and the turret itself was fixed
also replacing the MG42 with my own

[Keltos01]

getting there though I'm not sure about the barrel size in comp to online drawings, and thanks the the Australian armour shop who restored one !

[Keltos01]

reworking the gun etc..not sure the MG had a stock in RL as in the rundumsfeuer MG for instance

Ok no go for the spzb41 model
I can get the gun and base in but everytime I put the mantlet with twin shields in it crashes the game... Even tried a lighter model without the MG as seen here above in the photo but no dice

So I reused my 57mm gun model to see for now while I build another mantlet. And it was not that heavy in either... Guess too complex a shape to render

[Keltos01]

since the mantlet from the gun caused the crash I decided to remodel it all.Now the plates are 5.5mm as they were in RL, flimsy really !

After cleaning the loose, for the umpteenth time doing the merge by distance.. removed 334 vertices! Where did they come from?? But finally have the Panzerbuchse in-game! Next texturing..

[Keltos01]

Now looking at the sdk_250

Greiff was Rommel s

There are quite a few versions with the 28/20 spbz 41, 37 mm gun, L24 75 mm gun , 81mm mortar... Nice !

sdk 250

[Keltos01]

here's the base sdk 250 from which I will draw all variants aka SpZb 2cm, 2 cm kWh 38, 3.7cm pan 35, 7.5cm L24..

funny how it could only hold 4 troops !!! lol

[Keltos01]

latest gun

[Keltos01]

started fixing the texture on the model and got new wheels !

[Keltos01]

Finally in-game with nearly correct texturing, next figuring out how to add an ao map
Shield and wheels from RL example

Will soon post a wip of the 8th Army vs Afrikakorps mod, which comes on top of the Middle East Wars Mod I made.

[thewood1]

Are these mods integrated with the original db, thus the original scenarios work if the new ones are loaded? Or do I need to reload the original db to play the original scenarios?

[Keltos01]

they are on top of the DB, I added stuff not removed any so they should work imho
