I've submitted the master map from which the maps for mission 2 and 3 of the Russian campaign were cut.
 
The full size map is 5k x 2k. It has a few flavor objects, but not to many so as to avoid slowing things down.
 

 
 
 

 
 
Hopefully the file will show up over the next day or so.

of course, as usual, I will be grateful for any comments and suggestions;)

Kieme CMBS USA Abrams - tank names add-on
 
Ok, this might not be for everyone taste, so it's just an add on. If you want your tanks to display a nickname on the gun barrels (noticed this was the case in CMSF too) you just need to download this and put it in your mods folder.
I also noticed that US M1A2 SEPs in recent europe training had these nicknames stenciled on the gun barrel. I managed to find a nice font, very similar to the original one. The names are in White but not too large or bright.
Anyway, grab it if you like it, otherwise you can keep your M1s with no charisma at all.

Changelog:
-tank nickname added on the gun barrel right side (39 different names)
 
The names vary from WW2 tributes, to obvious ones, to "cool" or actual ones, got a dirty one there, too.
Hope I didn't make any mistake. 
The large file size is due to the number of textures... these should be enough to ensure a certain variety, although you might still get doubles (or blanks).
 
Preview (yeah I know, pretty obvious one):

Kieme CMBS USA Abrams
 
Let's be honest, whatever modern game you get your hands on, you can't avoid to feel this one as the battlefield's king. That's why I was so undecided upon so many things that, in the end, I had to base most of the weathering on the few recent photos showing M1A2 SEPs in europe during joint trainings. Thanks also to Saferight's force specific screens mod and its good pictures.
The trickiest part is the side ERA/spaced armor. BFC should really differentiate between the turret blocks and the skirt ones, otherwise you ca't get mud on the lower blocks without splashing unrealistically all the blocks in the same way and the upper turret sides.

Previews:

Pretty much what it says. When you add this to your game you'll get static laden radio chatter coming from all your vehicles (while sitting and moving).
 
SEE the readme for all the info.
 
There's regular and Mac versions. Links are after the pic. And if by chance there's a lot of down loads and my bandwidth runs out on Mediafire do what you guys can to help get the files to people that missed out.
