Beute T-34

[SCG_Baryonyx]

Hello. I see that there are already a few captured T-34 skins out there in forum, but I had an almost-finished project sitting on my harddrive, so I finally got to bring it to a presentable state. 

In German service, the T-34 had the official designation "Panzerkampfwagen 747(r)" The letter in bracket refers to the country of origin of the captured vehicle.

Many T-34s were captured especially during the earlier part of the war, which is why most that you can see are the 1942 model. Though as this one currently cannot have customs skins, I have made some for the model 1943. Plenty photos exist for that one too. 

I am aware that the use of these skins might be limited. You can use them together with german tanks in the custom battle missions, or make your own missions that allow the Axis side access to T-34s. Note the restricted symbols on the Grossdeutschland version.

Sadly I used to have a bunch more reference photos for the Grossdeutschland Tank, but I cannot find them anymore. A bummer that I have not saved them. If you know where to find them, please let me know!

My special thanks go to:

DigitalForms and ICDP for creating the skin template, which is awesome to work with.

 

Please let me know your opinions and feedback. If you know of any references for these tanks that I have not already included, please post them too. (Only T-34-76-1943 please)

As far as creating custom skins for the earlier model it is possible, but currently there is no template for it so the skinning would take a bit more work, and it won't be driveable. You could then build a mission using early model Beute T-34 as AI vehicles in conjunction with the user in your playable vehicle. The user would have to install the new AI vehicle as a mod before the mission would be usable. I currently have 50 new AI vehicles completed, and I am working on a few more. Perhaps I should add this idea to my list.

That is quite interesting. Actually my first ever attempt to create a skin for this game was for the "free to play" Panzer III L, and the only things I was able to achieve were some weird results. Like a golden tank. 

 

 

And for some reason the custom skin would only show in winter setting.

I just wrapped up creating a new version of that vehicle this evening.

But this cannot be the same model - the driveable version is missing a piece of track on the front (only the lower one is there), the headlights look different, as seem to be the towing eyes / hooks and some more details.

Same type, but it's the current AI model made into a new stand alone AI...
