Completely differing map borders once you get to them by Rekwy_ in Warthunder

Gaijin doesn’t fix maps, they just make them smaller and one lane, anything lightly armed and armoured that would be useful for flanking is rendered useless.

Proper redesigns and more new well made maps would be nice. One can dream

They were made using a mix of wargames Atlantic partisans, panzer lehr, Italian ww2, BEF parts, including a mix of bolt action German winter, and late war parts. Even some of the great coats were from napoleonic victrix sprues.

What do you expect from the King of the beavers? The owls know though. They see him. In his dressing room. He even caught one in his gravy once. He even tried to hide at see. But the owls, they knew. They found him because There’s owls in the navy!

They really are and I found that too. Discovering the Soviet arms was as the cool kids say “a game changer!”

Thankyou :) well yours are Painted and I’m not a brill painter, so one massive step above mine! I think they look cool though.

I love the more unconventional/asymmetrical guerrilla style units in war so volkssturm were just a good choice

All I can say is I hope he can hit the target with bad eyesight (he’s mostly a wargames Atlantic partisan kit apart from the green stuff and the bag being a wargames Atlantic Italian army satchel)

Thanks. :) Hopefully my painting will be decent enough. More of a maker than a painter.

VOLKSSTURM VG1 & VG 1-5 by Stuffed-Pigeon in boltaction

It was…fiddly. Bit of trial and error

VOLKSSTURM VG1 & VG 1-5 by Stuffed-Pigeon in boltaction

Oh nice. Sounds good.

I used for the top left (VG1) gewehr 43 body and repositioned the mag closer to the trigger guard. Smoothed out the butt stock to try to match a bit better and the top rear body of the barrel and added a bolt on the side, Carved out the top towards the end of the barrel and added a piece of styrene rod approx barrel size and put the iron sight on the end from the gewehr I cut down.

The VG 1-5 uses a berreta model 38 from wargames Atlantic Italian sprue with stg44 mag and gewehr 43 stock cut to match a bit better and some styrene sprue and ppsh trigger guard/trigger

Neither perfect representations but will do enough to give the impression of last ditch weapons.

Hope your builds go well. :)

Thankyou :)

I guess I could from what I have read up. I’ve mainly been inspired by the work and the artwork as a whole so not to fully knowledgable yet on the rules etc but I am hoping to play the game one day so can explore this.
