The Ju 88 P series, which had a solid nose and various heavy cannon armaments for tank busting. The first being the P-1 with a 75mm gun. Ju88P1.png The 75mm proved to slow firing and heavy to be useful, so instead it was fitted with dual 37mm in the P-2 (and P-3 which was more armored). Ju88P2.png T...

Thank, you; feel free to use them.

The Ju 88G, a customized night fighter. The ventral gondola was replaced with a quad 20mm gun pod. Some versions had upward firing guns called Schräge Musik, usually behind the cockpit. These weapons proved useful for shooting down British bombers at night. The G's only defensive weapons was a singl...

Thank you.

Nice green icon phcas.

The Ju 88A-17, the customized torpedo bomber. The ventral gondola was removed to save weight. Some had 20mm autocannons installed through the nose glazing.

Thank you.

The Ju 88C fitted with radar for night fighting. I label it as Ju88R (R for radar), not to be confused with the Ju 88R, which was also a night fighter with radar (which this icon can also be used for).

The Ju 88C, which had a solid nose with forward firing machineguns and cannons. The day versions were used as long range Zerstorers (heavy fighters) and night versions as night fighters/night intruders.

This is the Ju 88A-14, which had a 20mm cannon in the front of the ventral gondola for ground attack. Of note the 20mm was not the defining feature of the A-14 but a common modification. There were other variants that had the 20mm in the front of the nose glazing.

The Ju 88 is my favorite WW2 German aircraft, so I customized an icon for it. My version is based on several others I have seen on this forum over the last few years. I liked the dark blue color scheme, so all versions will be based on that. The main changes I've made to the icon is the cockpit and ...

I quote cw58 who helped me with this some time back: Here is an excerpt from a post many years ago (quote): Rudankort wrote: Traits which are actually working in 1.0 are: - meng - military engineer, ignores entrenchment - beng - bridge engineer - para - paratrooper - fortkiller - bonus against struc...

Thanks, that supports my conclusion.

Are the class abilities/traits of the armored trains (class 18) and artillery (class 4) identical aside from that armored trains don't provide defensive fire to adjacent units?

Thanks, that's what I suspected. This saves me time on testing.

That ability works for strategic bombers without the trait as well. Possibly a suppression trait that was later incorporated into the artillery and strategic bomber classes innate abilities?

I've noticed that forts and armored trains have the 1sup trait but I'm not sure what it does. Armored trains and forts don't seem to provide defensive fire support like artillery but they don't need this trait to be that way. Does anyone know what this trait does if anything? Or is it a left over tr...

That suggestion was helpful, I have more of an idea as to when these ammunitions were produced. For those who are interested this is what I have: 3,7 cm Pzgr. 40 (late 1940) 5 cm Pzgr. 40 (mid 1941) 5 cm Pzgr. 40/1 5 cm Stiel-Gr. 42 (mid 43?) 7,5 cm Igr. 38 Hl/A (June 41) 7,5 cm Igr. 38 Hl/B (Septem...

I've been studying the various armor piercing ammunition produced by Germany during the war but have been unable to find concrete dates as to when they were introduced. I was considering creating specialized elite units that would have higher hard damage values to reflect this but without clear date...

Agreed, seem like the best options.

Amazing icons as always!
