Thank you for releasing these fantastic icons and models!
You mod seems great! But what you mean exactly for as "seen in the movies"? I read a lot of description of the AT-ST, and the majority states that it has a granade launcher, but none implemented that feature.
Thank you very much!
With "seen in the movies" I meant something like that Youtube.com for the AT-AT and Youtube.com for the AT-ST.
I think it might be possible to add a grenade launcher, but that's something for a later version. Btw. version 1.1 isn't available yet as it yet has to be authorized, hope it will be done soon.
Officially My Favorite Mod. If I Could Rate Higher Would Rate A 12.
Glad you like it ;)
