[h2]New Units and You[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/282c3759bdc25255f89d1889f08a95b6a6536e03.jpg[/img] With the Field Marshal access of the Spanish Civil War only days away, we have one more dev diary for you to enjoy before you embark on your own journey into the new Panzer Corps 2 DLC. In order to properly represent the battles of the upcoming DLC, we have added dozens of unit models and also unit entries to the game files. And today, we want to highlight the fantastic work our artists have done for us in providing you with these awesome new weapons of war. At the bottom of this announcement, you can find a complete list of all unit entries that have been added to Panzer Corps 2 alongside the first two Axis Operations DLC that are included in your Field Marshal editions. [h2]New Models[/h2] [b]Panzer I Breda[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/bc4169503ba350ba05b8ca3a9d0e849f5f2658ae.jpg[/img] First off, we have a conversion of the humble Panzer I. Historically, this field modification was done as the Nationalists, Germans, and Italians in Spain quickly realized the machinegun armament of the Panzer I was insufficient to take on Soviet made, Republican manned, T-26 tanks. [b]Experimental Tank Design Codename: Verdeja 2[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/eb26d91dcafc1ba21328600e9d64a1848e152e66.jpg[/img] THIS INFORMATION IS CLASSIFIED. THIS UNIT IS UNAVAILABLE BY NORMAL PURCHASING MEANS AND CAN ONLY BE ACQUIRED BY ALTERNATIVE MEANS... [b]Henschel Hs-123a[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/40d8d0e45027ff36cafe6ab711bcbc01cdac2364.jpg[/img] Next, we have a biplane unit that many players will probably recognize, as it continued to serve with the Wehrmacht into World War II. The Henschel 123a proved to be a reliable and rugged ground attack aircraft even in very cold weather conditions. [b]Heinkel He-70 Rayo (Spanish nickname: Lightning)[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/816f365ea9766a3554e1b07a23521d4bfd013dcc.jpg[/img] The primary recon aircraft for the player in the Spanish Civil War, the He-70 Rayo offers great movement speed, high vision radius, and spotting bonuses against nearby enemy units. For the time, it was an extremely fast aircraft, setting numerous world speed records even before the start of the Spanish Civil War. [b]Sdkfz 221[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/01a608e38c24048a09e4a06aac4d11c04a73c587.jpg[/img] The predecessor to the very well known and popular German recon vehicle sdkfz 222, the 221's most notable different is the smaller, machine gun armed turret. [b]Heinkel He-112[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/ef965bde220bce7d99655e9172ced7b2bc1cbe62.jpg[/img] One of many fighter designs Germany was eager to experiment with during the Spanish Civil War. Despite performing exceptional well in trials and even seeing some combat testing in Spain, ultimately the sleek looking He-112 would be overshadowed by the superior performing and now well renowned Messerschmitt BF-109 fighter. [b]Trubia[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/c956dd90e9b162ae243ff334e4ee80f681391a0f.jpg[/img] Our first non-German new model to look at today, we have the bizarre Trubia tank. Pressed into service, the Trubia wasn't a purpose built tank. It served as one of several tractor conversions fielded by Spanish Republican forces to combat their Nationalist foes. Despite its large barrels looking like cannons, the Trubia was armed exclusively with machineguns only. The thick covering that makes the barrel look like a cannon are actually cooling jackets. By the way, if anyone designs plush toys, let us know. We want an adorable Trubia tank plushie please! [b]Bilbao[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/41bf9dcc0cdce35c5e6dcc8b2fa0ba3c5391637d.jpg[/img] One of several armored cars present in the campaign, the antiquated Bilbao vehicle will be a regular, but not terribly threatening, sight on the battlefield, especially in the early years of the Spanish Civil War. [b]UNL-35[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/df5210f2fe350de7f536e316763a5b8749f048a9.jpg[/img] Unlike the maligned Bilbao, the UNL-35 was a much more formidable armored car. It is clear to see the design's Soviet origins, and the performance of this vehicle is actually respectable and perhaps even superior to the somewhat under-gunned sdkfz 221. A potentially valuable prize to capture and field in your own army. [b]I-16 (Spanish Nationalist nickname Rata, Republican nickname Mosca)[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/4ec7eacdb9c17784e7ecca1310970fc4771bd79c.jpg[/img] No coverage of the Spanish Civil War would be complete without the presence of Soviet I-16 fighters. These aircraft operated in Spain as early as late 1936, and proved extremely effective at dealing with German He-51 biplane fighters. Not until the arrival of the BF-109B would the Ratas finally be cleared from the skies of Spain during the massive Battle of the Ebro. [b]Spanish Militia, Guardia Civil, Regulars, Colonial Infantry, and International Brigades[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35018759/b2fadc0a140c07d587aaf5ce3185eadea57dc01a.jpg[/img] We touched on the various new infantry appearing in the Spanish Civil War, but here is a closer look at them. Both sides fielded various militia and guardia civil units. Nationalist Regulares are the equal of the Republican Brigada Mixtas. Franco's elite professionals of the Army of Africa take the form of Colonial infantry, while various Republican International brigades offer extremely determined resistance to any Nationalist or Condor Legion assault! We hope you enjoyed this preview showcasing just a few of the new unit models arriving soon in Panzer Corps 2. You can look forward to discovering even more of the new unit models once you launch into the Spanish Civil War DLC Campaign!
