Hello Friend,

here is the side "Lexika of the german Wehrmacht". It shows the Landingcrafttype 43 the biggest Type was ever build (but I guess not in high numbers). On the left side you can see other Pioneerboats (Pionierlandungsboot and others, like a Canonboat, that was only prototypestatium). You can also find different units in the categories Heer (field army), Luftwaffe (Air force) and Marine (Navy).

And to see more here a Video (first part) about a german Landingboat evacuation operation fromm Sicilia to Italy.

When you think about landingcrafts PLEASE do not forget Amphibetanks and specially for the germans the amphibe VW Kuebelwagen that was mostly used by the Waffen SS. It is VERY important for more tactical mobility to be able to clear up the other side of a river etc.

Video about a meeting of people this year on a lake in Germany:

It was produced in the number of about 15000 Vehicles so very important. This type is existing in different Mods like Hidden Stroke II for example.

what we need is graphic information about german landingboat ,and we have already finished other landing units

I do not think that it is possible to find more informations that I gave you even because you can already see that the pics on Lexikon der Wehrmacht are original plan drawings with informations about size, weight, length and so on, so what else do you want?

By the way:
I have seen another mistake. When planes are crashing down the falling way seems to me much too short AND planes that crash into water should better splash up simply water and not explode like on earth. And another thing is the confusion between combat planes and battleplanes. For example the russian IL-2 is declared as a combat plane but is in fact much too heavy and so not so fast like a Focke Wulf plane for example. So better include battle planes to the bombers so that they go not into direct fight with combat planes.

So please do not only concentrate on high numbers of units but even on a realistic gameplay like I explained in my treat "Some gameplay Ideas"..

Hi!

Good pics, but in my opinion only two Landwasserschleppers were used in the eastern front in 1942. In this time the german units weren't yellow. Only grey.
