Tank turret fortifications

Starting in the 1944 Italian campaign, the Allies started to increasingly bump into German Panther turrets mounted on top of buried concrete bunkers, rather than atop tanks, for which they were increasingly running short of fuel.
It actually wasn’t a new idea, as the French had used scores of old FT-17 and newer Char turrets on the Maginot wall and other places.

Looks very good, but the images the game supports are 64x64
for ground units, so you need to rescale that. And I see that the background isn't transparent, I can see because I personally used paint, which doesn't support background transparency so I moved from that to pixly on android. Anyway, just take some image from the forum as a reference and then draw, I suggest you to use that concrete artillery Puss_in_boots drew, it's very nice.

Just take any unit from the forum, download it and rescale your turret to match that unit's siZe. If the software that you use doesn't support transparency (eg. paint) then just send it here and I'll do the rest.
