If you want to have hull MG, it is better to go with a single 2x7.92mm Bow MG.

Thank will do :)
At first I wanted to have the twin parallel flashes when firing but a twin mg makes sense

reworked a model of the Matilda II tank so as to have a good looking one in game

I intend to do the whole Africa Campaign time line Starting with Regio Esercito vs British in 1940/41, arrival of the Afrikakorps next, then the M3 Lee and M4 Sherman in 1942.

Unfortunately I have no El Alamein or Kasserine pass maps or desert maps yet..

ok, Ive been working my a.. off on the M3 Lee but for the life of me can't seem to get the guns rotation etc working.. I m at tryout 45 !

I don't know if AB2 allows a tank to have two separate guns whereas you can have more MGs

next will try and set up the hull 75mm gun as secondary gun and the turret M6 37mm as main_wpn_


in AB1 the guy who did the 1943 mod set the 75mm as turret and the 37mm as commander as well as two MG as commander to solve the 2 guns problem

got the Grant hull turret working

i tried to add the turret with the 37 as a separate ewapon but that crashes the game so far

Still crashing with the turret set as sec_wpn_1

But if I put the su KPM it shows so that's one step forward!

Next have the Grant s turret instead

No pics yet but been working on the Afrikakorps mod, doing (lots of) ammunition (37,50,75,88..) and cloning models to get a first playable version. Tried it and had fun!

Soon a beta!
