thanks for the reply, looking forward to it!!

your mod is the only mod I use for the game. Absolutely outstanding work! I only have 2 questions:
1/ I copied all the historical, SS & Luftwaffe images into the WITE2 folder. However, the national flag in Berlin and the flag in the Order of Battle panel still appears as the other German flag (not the Swastikas). Any chance you will update it along with your mod?

2/ I see that you use the same picture for "Panzer Grenadier Squad 43" and "Panzer Hvy MG Section 40". Do you have plans to change this in the future?

Again, absolutely amazing mod. This is straight up a must-have mod for the game. Since the stock images are really blurry.

For serious flags in the UI see the first post:

...the Berlin on map flag has not been modded anywhere as far as I know (although, maybe some Map-modder took care of that).

I changed some of the pictures for my own liking, I removed the "SdKfz's 250/251 everywhere"-thing which is NS-Wochenschau bias and corrected some tanks.
For your request: I changed the "Panzer Hvy MG Section 40" to show a MG34 with AntiAir-optics on a Sdkfz in North Africa which is more appropriate, I don't know in how far they were "Panzer'ed"/motorized. If you have a KstN (Kriegsstärkennachweisung) of such a unit or a better picture, please let me know.

Thank you so much...

Dear Wiedrock,

I have a request. I am currently using the historical flag pictures for Germany and pictures for the MG-42 team currently display soldiers without the standard-issue Stahlhelm helmets (they wear some kind of solf-looking caps like a big bandage on their heads right now). Is there any chance I could ask for a replacement picture for the MG-42 teams to make them look more intimidating? (the vanilla picture actually looks great, just not as clear and theres no historical flag like in this mod).

Secondly, can I ask for a replacement picture for Motorized Infantry 1944 too? Because they're currently have a halftrack in the picture, which makes them look like Mechanized Infantry.

Thank you. You're the best!

Is this the Berlin on map flag you are on about?

Nope, that is not me. All my images are unit detail images. This must be either a flag mod or a map mod.

This zip includes the city map flags. Make a backup of the originals before you drop these in just in case. Put them into the below folder.

\Dat\Art\Tiles\Custom

Custom_201.tga German - Made historical
Custom_207.tga Denmark - Flipped to have cross towards the left.
Custom_208.tga Finland - Flipped to have cross towards the left.
Custom_209.tga Greece - Flipped as canton was on the right not left.
Custom_212.tga Norway - Flipped to have cross towards the left.
Custom_215.tga Sweden - Flipped to have cross towards the left.

The other parts use modified files in \\Dat\Art\Gui - I found these somewhere the mods but cannot remember what they were called.

Germany chip.tga - is the flag
Infopanel-WH.bmp
AxisInitiativeBack.BMP

Thank you antwniago for the city flag zip file.

Been looking through some Armored Car stuff recently and I found two issues.

---

ID 455 - SdKfz-232B Armored Car
Picture is showing a earlier version, the later version (so this ID 455) did usually not have the "makeshift" shield in the front any longer (from what I've found), instead it had just more armor on its own in the front. Additionally, the later Version did not have the (for every enemy) easily visible antenna.
example: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5e/df/9f ... 8a0e40.jpg
Note that the 231/232 could be somewhat transformed into one another by changing the radio/antenna. Ingame therefore we only have this one "232B".

ID 564 - SdKfz-231 Chassis
Picture is showing a early 6-wheeled 231, they were only produced in small quantities early on and already started being replaced by the 8-wheeled ones before 1939. Most were replaced by summer 1940, some radio versions lasted longer.
Attached is a fresh 231 chassis, I couldn't find a better quality one as of now.

Thanks for this!

Will this mod be updated when the OB2 update comes out? Please say yes!

Found out that Security Division 43 hasn't been modded yet

Good afternoon Tell me, is the latest patch supported by this modification?

Until he continues, I hope I got all covered as of 1.03.07.

I updated the image library to V 01.03.09 and addressed a couple (not all issues in the thread)

Superb. Thanks a lot.

Great mod; thanks!

These are incredible and better than the ones provided by by the developers with the game.
