COH: Europe In Ruins

Since Relic is not doing the Eastern Front themselves any time soon, just a quick update to give you some more eye candy.

We got some really big soviet tanks this time:


T-35

The T-35 was a Soviet multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early Second World War that saw limited production and service with the Red Army. It was the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production.


KV-1
(http://www.easternfront.org/uploads/Kamikaza22/KV-1.jpg)
The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet heavy tanks, named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. At the time of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II, about 500 KV tanks (with about 1,000 T-34 medium tanks) comprised a portion of Soviet tank forces which was clearly superior to German tanks of the period.


IS-2
(http://www.easternfront.org/uploads/Kamikaza22/IS-2.jpg)
The heavy tank was designed with thick armour to counter the German 88 mm guns, and sported a main gun that was capable of defeating the new German Tiger and Panther tanks. It was mainly a breakthrough tank, firing a heavy high-explosive shell that was useful against entrenchments and bunkers. The IS-2 was put into service in April 1944, and was used as a spearhead in the Battle for Berlin by the Red Army in the final stage of the war.


T-90
(http://www.easternfront.org/uploads/Kamikaza22/T-90.jpg)
The Soviet Union lacked self-propelled anti-aircraft guns at the beginning of World War II. The first serious design of a real air-defence vehicle was in 1942, when a twin 12.7 mm DShK machine gun turret with optical sights was built for mounting on the T-60 scout tank. The T-70 became available in the meantime, and was adopted as the basis for the T-90 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.


Here some soviet rifles:


Mosin-Nagant

The Mosin-Nagant is a Soviet Bolt-action rifle. It's development history started around 1882. It was designed to replace old single-shot rifles. It's production started in 1891. This rifle has been used in many wars and some of them are: Great war, World war 2, and many other... During WW2 has been produced around 17.4 millions of this rifle. This rifle has sniper version too.


But no worries, we also got something for our new german faction:

Is the mod still being worked on ?

Of course. Dont you see?

Have you reconsidered the possibility of an APEX soundboard? I seriously think it would bring more attention to Eeastern Mod.

Danko here. Mayor Ivan Danko.

Talking about Eastern Front:

http://uk.pc.ign.com/dor/objects/14274745/company-of-heroes-tales-of-valor/videos/coh_tov_trailernewlegals_112008.html

Graphics look hideous, what is this, a downgrade?

Still not sure what to think about Tales of Valor.

What I do know though, is that relic doesnt even have any remote plans on what to do with CoH after ToV,
as relics senior producer stated in a recent interview. This means mods are the future,
and if you wanna see the axis battle the soviet union, you know what mod to look forward to.

Operation Market Garden?

Operation Market Garden is not on the Eastern Front.

LIES

But it's still clearly a mod to look forward too ;)
Nice pics.

The IS2 looks alot like Pershing

SU-152!!!

Amagad. Thing's are looking epic.

How do you implement models, I heard there's a certain difficulty to do that?

The german tanks look simple amazing, i wish we had those for Eir.
Apex, will eastern mod include persistency ?


And what about omg, i think they said that after they get everything working they will consider, adding new faction, so russians ?

Sweeet!!!!!  :o

About the models, its not really possible without the Object Editor (models, but no animations then), but, we may have other ways...

DasNoob, don't know if you saw this pretty old image in one of our older updates.

While none of this matters to me besides saying "Good luck" with what i know the be exceptionally difficult implementation of new models into COH :)   I feel this needs to be posted in order to keep the "Continuity of moderation"

russians and italians? =D Or maybe a rommel faction, maybe an SS faction? Or you could go with " German Common Wealth" basically they'd be all the captured territories that'd be fighting with the Germans. What'd be cool about that is that the different doctrines would be diffrent countries.

actually the current OE does allow animations. But so far only mannerheim has pulled it off.

So... You'd have a hell of a lot of VolksGrenadiers that retreat off-map 50 percent of the time without even seeing an enemy, with a name of "<countrynamehere> SS WaffenGrenadiers" or smth.

There will be a new german faction in the EF mod eventually, called the Ostheer. It will have the distinctive features of the german eastern fighting forces.

But we will bring in the Soviets first. But since the new germans are a lot easier to integrate, there wont be much time between them.

Sounds like a wonderful plan... Can't wait ;)

I still think that IS2 model looks exactly like a Pershing

hows festung europe doing by the way?
