Rest & Relaxation
I took a few days off from the to do list & made a few units from the I want list...
Pzkfw VII Löwe
Designed as the big brother to the famous Tiger, it was deemed not big enough tho & cancelled in favour of the Maus.
Sturmgeschütz VI Strumtiger
Designed for urban combat after the lessons learned from Stalingrad, it had a 38cm rocket launcher normally used for launching depth charges!
Tsar Tank
Probably the most unique tank ever built, this monster was designed to be able to cross any trench with it's huge wheels. During testing tho it got stuck in a ditch & stayed there until it was scraped.
AT-1
Prototype "tank artillery" from 1935, this one was actually on the todo list & is used as the soviet pre/early tank destroyer.
I've also been busy working on some new desert terrain, I want to make some new maps to fully show it off tho so you'll have to wait until next time for that. _________________
Holy crap! The Tsar Tank! I remember that from Toy Soldiers!
That was one hell of a WWI tank... Impossible to kill too, when you were playing as the Germans. _________________ Okay, my signature was starting to annoy even me. QUICK_EDIT

The barrel of the SturmTiger looks awefully thin compared to the Löwe barrel. As the SturmTiger's barrel should be around 3 times fatter then the Löwe, the voxel doesn't say so
Anyways, I'm happy you included it. Not many WW2 mods/games have that assault gun QUICK_EDIT
the tsar is awesome...
lotta better than the one i did ages ago for blitz.
the Löwe looks really nice but the barrel could be darker coz imho it´s hard to see on some directions _________________ just a simple logo by bricks @ raminator, on Flickr QUICK_EDIT

The thickness of the gun barrel isn't determined by barrel caliber alone. Longer/higher velocity the gun, the thicker the barrel wall is needed to withstand the pressures. (atleast I believe that's the case)
Though if you want to be picky:
Lowe's barrel is 2 units wide in the main section
Sturmtiger's is 7 units wide
Which is basically properly scaled considering 2=105mm and 7=380mm. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

Basicly I meant what you mentioned in the latter part of your post It looks like the barrel of the Löwe is thick, but that is only the part that is near the turret. QUICK_EDIT
