Can someone explain to me this picture?

We can't modify them, but the pintle Vickers K was already included in the models, just not used in the actual game. They're working and everything, I'm just having some trouble with getting the MG and Tank Commander to show up at the same time for the Churchill.
Whether it's a good idea to actually implement them is another question, but the Churchill could use the buff, if you ask me!

Edit: It works now. Thanks, Steam Workshop person!

It's a fairly drastic rework of the British faction that's still very, very unfinished. Feel free to download and take a look at the source files, though: https://github.com/PlanetSmasherCOH/BritishArmy

Basically, there are only two things you have to do to add the Vickers K.
Adding the gunner to the entity's crew_ext, which you can see here:

ebps\tanks\churchill
ebps\vehicles\aec

And creating an upgrade that adds a slot item, which in turn contains the weapon and sets some animation states, as done here:

upgrade\tanks\churchill_vickers_k
upgrade\vehicles\aec_vickers_k

In vanilla, the entities have different names, but you should be able to find them.
The upgrades have to be created, though - you can clone them from the UC and start from there.

Not yet, because I want to finish it first. There was a very nice person who saw this thread and messaged me on Steam with the solution, though!

"Drastic" as in no emplacements at all, because they lead to boring gameplay. Maybe doctrinally, but in a different form - I haven't quite decided on that yet. The mod gives Brits a larger and stronger core tech tree while removing lots of cheese.

What you're describing is actually included in a mod prototype I started with Mr.Smith, but that hasn't been developed in half a year. It's on the Workshop, though: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=679152285

I'm a sort of old time modder on a break until Relic give us model making tools and so forth.

Has relic ever said that they'll actually do this? I thought everyone was basically reconciled that full modding will never be a possibility.
