Would someone from Russia really be unable to spell "Russia"?

You know, I've no idea.

The direct transliteration from Cyrillic is "Russiya".

...and since we're posting random crap...

So are you saying it's plausible?

Sorry to pull this off topic, I'm trying to figure out weather I'm dealing with a troll or someone who has just had a little too much vodka, but means well...

ive seen lost of russians spell Russia as Russiya (kinda like south africans spelling Africa as Afrika, forgetting to use the English spelling not Afrikaans spelling)

I confirm that. Russian being my native language, I spell Russia as Russiya (not in written English of course). Maybe even Rossiya (this is closer to how it sounds in Russian).

Nice howitzers. One of my favourite sorts of unit in S44.

Agreed. Artillery is an awesome aspect of this mod :D

M5 75mm AT gun
aka 3in Gun M5

*IMPORTANT NOTE* If anyone has access to good, detailed pictures of this gun, or to a blueprint, I'd appreciate a link. The best picture I could find to work off of was quite lulz:

The M5 actually uses the same carriage as the M2:

Though late-war it was given a new, angled shield:

Your M2 model is... flawed, to say the least. The trails should be straight as on the M5 - Perhaps you copied that M2 model you found on google; that is quite flawed itself.

Oops, I knew I forgot something...

Which shield angle do we want for the M5? The pic I posted has the shield going straight up from the carriage and then angled to the back - the pic you posted has the late-war angled shield. It doesn't really matter to me... I intended to angle the shield as per the pic I was working off of, but forgot to do so.

I'll go back and see about fixifying the M2 carriage as well - maybe just copy the one off the M5 model for a start. [edit] Done...

I get the impression that you felt other things on the M2 required fixing beside the carriage... is this true, and which items?

[edit2] The M5 feels a bit empty... if a better pic of the inside portion can be found I'll model some realistic greebles, otherwise I might stick on some generic artillery greebles.

I only found this pic:

It's probably just another version of the one you have already, but I can clearly see greebles in there.
Edit:This book would be of use if someone happens to have it (I don't):

I have the british one?

The greebles will be the same as on the M2. Look at the links i posted!

All of the firing control stuff is different, and that's what most of the greebles are.

That wagon is usable for a map feature, I think. Now if only there was a way to do "proper" railroads in Spring (such as trains can only go over them and can only turn where the roads turns, etc.), I'd model some armored trains for you. USSR and Germany used them a lot (not sure about Allies), they'd be interesting.
