Okay, the Semovente da 90/53 artillery version's ready.

These are modified versions of the OoB vanilla models, not my own :!:
The copyright's with Slitherine/Artisocrats. I'm doing this for non-commercial use and by permission from Slitherine.

(If that has changed, please let me know!)

Please note:

- the texures are a bit darker than the originals due to the extraction. If someone wants to correct that, be my guest
- I've also modified the unit's pic. I'm not very good at it, so if anyone wants to create a better one, be my guest, too
- the models scale might not be 100% as I did it by hand/"eye"
- the models have a damage point "d0" and a weapon point "w0"
- the fitting firing sequences has to be created/applied first
- stats have to be applied

I'd appreciate a beta test and feedback!

EDIT: Updated model, fixed axis orientation

Sorry, terminator, but I don't think I'll create/modify models for factions that I can't actually play. Maybe later...

I also have my ideas about modifying stock units like these... may I ask you how you did this? with what software, at the first place

Dual-class is always fun :D
Although, by the same analogue all tanks having more than an auto-cannon could be artillery since they were all used primarily for support role.
If we stick to doctrine, artillery class units should have the ability of indirect fire (also requires high angle ballistics), so 88mm FlaK is yes, but 75mm PAK no. StuG is yes, PzIV no. Italian Semoventes yes - although not sure about the 90mm one whether it was low-angle AT only.
On the contrary Artillery units dual-mode as AT is another story. It can be done, most of the case as nothing is more disruptive like direct fire artillery. Even if low muzzle velocity and HE only, it can done damage and chaos. Added that HEAT ammo in many cases were issued. The disadvantage comes, as artillery is not as easy to hide, mostly large and difficult to hide when placed on direct fire position - that causes poor defence values. HEAT ammo is accurate at close range, and ROF is also low - so attack values aren't big either. However, in the early years of WW2, as in inter-war and WW1, direct firing field guns are still the only means to counter tanks from range

Have you guys tried triple-class? AA-AT-Art combo? On can be arty/revert, maybe the other can be weapon switch if two Art mode is not accepted at the same time.

Yes, I did not see your answer :?

You can play against these soviet units in the official campaign or in my scenarios (Petsamo, Battle of Kursk).

You actually certain that the AI can utilize those new unit's switch abilities? I'm kinda not so sure...

Hi again Gabe
Perhaps I was not clear enough, what I was trying to ask was, how can I get your italiens vehicles into the game (I am a novice here)

Use the mod. That's what they're for.

All the mod does is to add those four new units into the game. Nothing else.

There are links how to install mods in the OP.

Another one of my "pet projects", finally:

the BCV Ise in the German "lend lease" version. If they've got the Tigers, then I want the Ise... :wink:

IMO, the Ise's far more useful than those early Lexington class carriers for the Yanks (6-hex range with decent small naval attack stats). Who needs more than one plane landed anyways? And the usual 3-hex-range-attack made-of-paper carriers remind me of AA units somehow, which can be usually used for like 2-3 attacks and then remain mostly idle for the rest of the mission.

"2cm Flakvierling 38" AT version:

- this one has four weapon points w0-w3
- the firing sequence has to be reworked. It seems that even the stock sequence doesn't utilize the four barrels properly.

"SdKfz 7/1" AT version:

- again this model has four weapon points, and I think the stock firing sequence is half-baked, too, and should be reworked
