[Final]- Historical- German Armor Divisions Eastern front paterns
Historical Skinpacks
My first
participation in the contest is historical , German Armored using known
patterns from Easter Front.
After operation Blue in spring 42 German Tank crews saw that the grey factory paint
color affects with the environment in Eastern front. At start they used mud
with color to apply custom cammo to their vehicles/tanks , and during winter
white washed white to apply the necessary view due to territorial environment.
After 43 the initial factory cammo was factory yellow so the crews can apply
custom colors to their vehicles , also some new models came out with cammo
patterns. My skinpack for the contest trying to saw the different version and
approaches that were used then, I get as much as historical data I could from
ww2 pictures , my Military history Book collections and from many historical
sites around the net.
Final versions summer and winter

What do you mean you must alter them all?
for the record the side skirts of stug is a very rare pattern , and i have face it only in that armor , and only for the skirts , onother similar patern ( stripes "X" and the 3rd color I saw it in a jagdpanzerIV , that already made for coh1 and might be used in coh2).
An example is as follows with the upocoming panzer IV

Also, I want to ask you something. On some photos of the same type of german tanks armor looks exactly like in your work, but on other armor seems to be very smooth. Is it just a bad photo quality, or just different variants of steel or something?
The 222 scout car in ww2 had grenade protection cover , I have never found a canvas except in winter and in some cases , 251 on the other hand have a net with leafs and flora to combine better with enviroment , I can't alpha all the canvas becouse the result when 251 upgrade on flamer is akward and doesn't look well at all, so in 222 and 251 I use alpha chanel to achieve these , that tehnique is something I used from coh1.
