Of course they can be swapped. Anyway, this has been done in the European mod for CMSF2. But you also need to change the bitmaps of uniforms and equipment.

What about Migs... The game is very simple. In private, the US, GB and the rest of NATO are as much in support of strengthening Ukraine as possible. But the planes are a serious matter and the Kremlin will certainly not accept this calmly. So NATO, as an alliance, is afraid to take responsibility for such a decision and gives us, as Poland, the green light to hand over the planes ourselves, as Poland, and not NATO as a whole. And in general we want to hand over the planes, but not as Poland alone with all its consequences, but as the whole of NATO. And yesterday the Polish authorities poker-facedly said check. And the truth came out... NATO officially does not want to take responsibility... And the Kremlin has just announced that: Polish offer of jets to Ukraine creates 'potentially dangerous scenario

Unfortunately, the Pentagon is making a statement on planes DOD has released this in response to Poland's announcement that it would send MiG-29s to Ramstein: “We’ve seen the Polish government’s announcement. We have nothing to offer at this time," a senior defense official says

@Kinophile And there are no advanced anti-aircraft systems that can be quickly transferred to Ukraine. Migs are the easiest and fastest way out.

@Erwin We, as Poland, could not hand over these aircraft directly, as we are already a frontline state. This can only be done by NATO as a single military bloc. Ideally, the greatest superpower, the USA, would do this on behalf of NATO. And it will not be the beginning of the Third World War, because we are now handing over weapons as effective as the MANPAD Piorun and the Third War has not broken out.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The government of the Republic of Poland, following consultations with the President and the Government of the Republic of Poland, are ready to move all their MIG-29 aircraft to the base in Rammstein immediately and free of charge and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America". - the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just stated in a communiqué. This could mean that the planes will be handed over by NATO to Ukraine. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Lethaface Yes, we are buying 250 Abrams in the latest possible configuration. The exact details of the equipment are not known. But the first tanks may not arrive in Poland until a year or two from now.

@UrodzonyGinger Yes!

You must use modtags in scenarios

@Haiduk The attack technique and negligible height clearly indicate this. These are parameters not available to Stinger and Striel. Of course, there is no official confirmation, but the Polish military media unequivocally claim that it is Piorun. As a Pole heavily involved in helping refugees I will say something else - all Polish hearts are now Ukrainian hearts! I work at a university in Zielona Góra in western Poland. A young professor from Kiev has been my boss for the last 4 years. And now the families of our friends from Kiev live in the student dormitories of my university. Хай живе, живе вільна Україна!

Mi 24 destroyed by polish Piorun MANPADS.

Ukraine's Rada has announced that the country will receive a total of 70 aircraft from EU countries. Poland will hand over 28 Mig-29s, Slovakia 12 such aircraft, and Bulgaria 16, plus 15 Su-25s.

And during the talks, Iskander missiles were fired from Belarusian territory...

This map was developed by Polish specialists from the editorial team of the military magazine Technika wojskowa (Military Technology). I think that the positions are approximate and are shown for illustration instead of a continuous front line, which is not really there.

Very good map https://www.map.army/?ShareID=1009141&UserType=RO-uE2BzdFd

@kohlenklau I'll try to do it but won't be able to until Friday. And we are all looking forward to KV-1 I can do textures too.

@DesertFox It is probably impossible.The terrain design in CMSF2 is completely different from the other games. It is only similar in CMA. That's why I converted all the maps from CMA to CMSF2 without any problem. With the maps from the other games I have not been able to do this despite repeated attempts. It's a pity, because they would be useful for the Euroscape mod.

@kohlenklau In principle, I know. I did not notice the alpha channel.

@kohlenklau I will prepare a short tutorial on making mods a'la Suchy and post the special bitmaps I use. But only in a few days, because now I have a lot of work duties.

@kohlenklau I have uploaded to our Tommy and Phil dropbox the T26 textures in a version that imitates the BF originals. Later I will prepare a version a'la dirty Aristoteles and Finnish and Polish version. That KV-1 looks really impressive. Just thicken the barrel and standardize the painting. Wonderful! If removing the fuel tanks from the IS hull is difficult, I wouldn't worry about it. It looks great anyway! I have ideas for getting other vehicles and equipment relatively easy

@kohlenklau YES! YES! YES!

@kohlenklau Your recipe for the KV-1 is good but instead of the turret from the T34 I would use the turret from the Staghound armoured car. After some enlargement of course.

@kohlenklau I'm working... And now.. it's time to make KV-1 tank!

@kohlenklau Hmm, I think you are complicating the problem.... I take the original BF bitmap. I desaturate it by setting the options so that only the outline of the lines remains on a practically white background. Then I apply a second, previously prepared layer, which is e.g. the colour dunkelgrau. It is not a pure colour, but a layer created by cutting a fragment from some other mod, real photo and enlarging it to a size of e.g. 2048*2048px. I place the desaturated layer above the layer with the colour and set multiplication as the opacity option. And there you have it! This is how I did Finnish mods in the past and now some mods for Barbarossa. In my opinion the effect is sufficient and the whole thing takes not even minutes but seconds. Of course later it is worth to refine the mod a little bit, for example create another layer with elements which should not change colour e.g. headlights, additional equipment etc.
