Hey guys, I have been looking all over my objects files for some Jerry cans. I think I saw some of those once.
Do we  have jerry cans in this game?
 I am not sure now.

Back in WW2 both the allies and Axis forces were using jerry cans to transport gas and water and I cannot seem to
find any in my game.
I probably missed some download of this mod...perhaps... Or maybe a model was never made before (?)

You may be asking "Jerry who"? 

Jerry Cans, jerry-cans

lol, i've thought of jerry cans on several occasions, as well, but i don' t think we have any. shouldn't be too hard for a 3d guy to do one, i think.

Yes, I think I can do easily and quickly.

Only  1  jerry can?

or 10x or 20x mounted like

A nice row of 10 or 20  jerry-cans is very good. It can be used to put in the trucks, or
on the airbase near airplanes.

I ask max_thehitman about skinning in PM.

[max_thehitman]

wow! Those look perfect.
Many air bases will need them,
 perhaps even on some of your new trucks 
Thank you so much Western.

Now I have to research which color Jerry-Cans were for water and which color are for fuel.
No one wants to drink fuel. AAAHAHAHAH

[Maty12]

No one wants to drink fuel.

Or have a plane's fuel tank filled with water! 

[David Prosser]

They look just fine.

cheers

I'm wondering how about "Before Jerry can" on RAF , and Japan.
Japan never used Jerry cans.


I'm searching those informations.... and I find "British 4 gallons" can and "Itto can" (Itto mean 5 gallons in Japanese).
Those 2 cans are very similar.
If max_thehitman has an interest about it, I will add a 3D of "British 4 gallons".


+1
How about "Pail" of 5 gallons?

[max_thehitman]

wait, no need to create a new "Pail container". The game already has 2 versions of pails.
I could paint another version and create another static-object if its needed.

I think the Japanese used the jerry can, or perhaps they were captured equipment taken from allies on islands.

OK, I found website where it says, the japanese never used Jerry-can, but only barrels.
They look like small barrel on top of the tank in photo.

Max:

Once we have the cans we just adjust their height in the static.ini file to put them on trucks, scaffolds, wings etc...

Just an idea: Could you "tip" one at say a 45⁰ angle so it could be added on a plane's wing, with an appropriate human, to look like a refueling operation?
