A good source for DAK pictures
 

I guess the FH devs already know this, but as it's a german site I just post it in the unlikely case they don't.

It's the main homepage of the DAK, Deutsches Afrika Korps...

It contains quite alot pictures, including very rare ones and also alot of german defences, which might be helpfull...

Enjoy: http://www.afrika-korps.de/galerie/main.php


Like this one, a command trailer used for airports in the desert (FH2 :deal:)

or this one, General Fröhlichs Command trailer, or rather bus

Camouflaged german guns, around Derna (I wish FH2 defences will look like this)

Fantastic! I came across a picture of a Flak-18 dug in so deep that the barrel at 0 degrees (parallel to ground) was no more than 18" clearance from the ground. An 88 that could present such a low profile must have been lethal indeed. Great site. I love the burning tank shots.

Hehe, of course we know this site Stauffenberg, it's the first hit you get when you search for "Afrika Korps" in google... :p

first one i got was wikipedia

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Thx, nice site. I never really search for stuff (shame on me, I know) but whenever someone posts a link I enjoy it a lot.

Something for the mappers: look at the pictures of plain desert. It's not empty at all, most of the time there are small shrubs and patches of grass. Something else you can see is that the sand doesn't have the same color everywhere.

I'm sure we won't be seeing Sahara type desserts all over the place, the devs and fan mappers can use colour picuters of how the terrain looks these days. If you have seen some of the maps Anlushac was working on for FH1, those were realistic in appearance. :naughty:

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Gah, I thought the "camouflaged guns" caption referred to the bus.

I stared at that picture for a long time, trying to find the dam PAK.

(Waldo is in the second window from the back.)

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

:lol:
I thought it was in the bus too...

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

And I thought I was the only one.

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Looks like some peopel missed the clear line breaks. :/ :lol:

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Bah, that's not so insane like an atlantik wall bunker with a french cottage and an old woman painted in the wall as camouflage, unfortunately I can't find the pic

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Also interesting is this german soldier, who camouflaged his helmet with mud...

random helmet? :naughty:

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

No random code in Bf2.

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

It was actually quite common, it was done primarily to remove the 'shine' of light reflecting on the helmet, though it also acted as a crude camouflage.

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Ya, the Italians usually sand their helmets.

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

I really couldn't guess that myself...:p

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Speaks for itself doesnt it? :p



Actual combat looks cool :naughty:

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Stuka wants to TK the Panzer4.
Man with invisilbe heat deflecting gloves.
Radmon guy with like a c4 detnator(paratrooper).
Fighters are like "Look a plane, Im not gonna help it".

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

LoL, where is that picture from?
p.s.: Just read the bottom line...

Wasn't that game developed by a Russian company?
p.s: I'm Russian :)

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Why the hell is the Pz4 missing half of his right tracks?

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

I just noticed that, very odd. :P

Re: A good source for DAK pictures
 

Won't his right hand get very burnt? Is it on the eastern front? If it is, then the Spitfire is far from home. But it still looks dramatic. :)
