I'm no good at graphic design, but I figure I'll throw this out there. Fleet Marine Force Manual 8-4 has some interesting proposed vehicles (this version is dated 1967).

Been fiddling with late-cold-war programs for some while, here are a few (game size):

Crusader AFAV (USA)

A-12 Avenger-II (USA)

T-95 (USSR)

Strv-2000 (Sweden)

Marder-2 (FRG)

Zobel Sp�hpanzer (FRG)

I'll probably integrate these (and many more) in a continued-Cold-War OOB mod at some point, so if someone has more of the same kind, I'd be glad to get a share!

Could I have your Marder II please?

Here it is! (I've attached the separate icons)

Since I am no authority whatsoever regarding the actual data of the actual thing, I'll let you have your way with the orbat entry!

I think you can get info on the RH503 autocannon on this Rheinmetall page.

I've also included a totally fictional improved variant (Marder-2A1 I guess) with add-on armor that makes it look slightly more like a Puma.
The winter camoes are hardly worth anything, I'll redo them at some point and repost them.

I recently came across a few Harrier development/replacement ideas while browsing over at greg goebel's air vectors website and decided to make them:
First the 'Big Wing' Harrier:

Quote:

The RAF had been considering in parallel a Harrier upgrade proposed by British Aerospace called the "Big Wing" Harrier. This involved a new and bigger wing made of metal and was also known as the "Tin Wing" Harrier. The wing would have been retrofitted to existing Harrier GR.3s and Sea Harriers. However, in 1980 the RAF evaluated the AV-8B design to see if it would meet their requirements instead.

It seemed like it would be simple to modify the wings of game's Harrier to produce this... and indeed it was. But no sooner had I done that then I stumbled on a proposed Harrier replacement denoted P1216:

So here's the end products (from Left to right standard in game Harrier, tweaked wings to give 'Big Wing' Harrier, P1216):

Couldn't seem to attatch the zip file so looks like anyone interested will need to open and save these two bitmaps:
