Title: Eastern Front News # 08.01.2009 Post by: Apex on January 08, 2009, 12:45:22 am Hello and welcome back for another update of the Eastern Front Mod. We have lots of goodies to show you.
After many tanks in the past update, this time we'll show you our queen of battle, the infantry: Conscripts (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/9307/conscript2sb8.jpg) (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2805/conscriptog9.jpg) Conscripts are the early infantry unit for the Soviet Union, armed with the Mosin-Nagant. They come in squads of 8, but they are ill-equipped and ill-trained. Trough a variety of upgrades, like the commissar, molotov cocktails or extra rifles, they can gain some considerable combat strength though. And there will be many of them. Trust me. Regulars (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2976/regular2fn6.jpg) (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4903/regularrr9.jpg) The standard infantry unit of the Red Army. Well disciplined and versatile, with upgrades like PPSh machine pistols or PTRD anti-tank rifles. Major (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/7124/majormk1.jpg) (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3265/major2co7.jpg) Fearless and unforgiving, the Major and his command squad will lead the soviet troops into battle. Sharpshooter (http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4522/sov3jg6.jpg) The sharpshooter will come together with an observer, making up the sharpshooter team. They have ambush and scouting abilities. Maxim MG team, (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/5632/mgqv8.jpg) These guys will handle the soviet standard lafette HMG. Heavy Mortar Team (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4216/mortarbv6.jpg) (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/8084/mortar2qk1.jpg) Equipped with the soviet heavy 120mm mortar, these dudes will give you quite a bang for your buck. ZIS-2 AT-Gun Team (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4033/weapongd4.jpg) The ZIS ATGs will be the fear of the german tanks. Big Kudos to halftrack for skinning these. More of them are to come. Okay, okay, no Eastern Front update without tanks. How about this one. BurroDiablo finished the IS-2 and it looks goood. (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Elburro/Loomis/is2v1.jpg) We also have some pictures of this beast ingame, we still need to tweak the amount of shine (who said more bloom?), but as burro said it himself, he could already smell the fascists crapping their pants. (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Elburro/Loomis/losifingame3.jpg) (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Elburro/Loomis/losifingame2.jpg) (http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Elburro/Loomis/losifingame1.jpg) Stay tuned! http://www.easternfront.org/ Title: Re: Eastern Front Update # 08.01.2009 Post by: EIRRMod on January 08, 2009, 12:58:12 am Those look awesome APEX, keep up the good work!

/me salutes Title: Re: Eastern Front News # 08.01.2009 Post by: Apex on January 08, 2009, 02:43:16 pm Can a mod move this joint to the other games forum, I misplaced the thread. Or maybe EiR related discussion is more appropriate.
Title: Re: Eastern Front News # 08.01.2009 Post by: notenome on January 08, 2009, 02:53:47 pm So I take it with 120mm mortars and IS-2 tanks this will be a 44/45 mod? I love the eastern front and fully believe that was the major league to the Normandy minor league (no offense) but I really wish more modders made games set in 41/42. Forget Panthers and Tigers, gimme Pz IIs and P-38ts! Still great work on the tank skins, the Joseph Stalin looks great, will the conscripts get easily suppresed to compensate for COH not having an organic morale simulation?
Title: Re: Eastern Front News # 08.01.2009 Post by: Apex on January 08, 2009, 03:44:12 pm The mod is designed to cover the entire period of the Eastern Front. There will be early war units like the Panzer III and the T-70, mid war units like the Katyusha and the Elefant, and late war units like the IS-2 or the ISU-152.

Title: Re: Eastern Front News # 08.01.2009 Post by: notenome on January 08, 2009, 07:20:27 pm what variant of the PIII? If I remember correctly there were variants all the way up to the PIIIs.
Title: Re: Eastern Front News # 08.01.2009 Post by: Bodybag2224-Armor on January 08, 2009, 07:58:43 pm How was that big shiny tank created? It looks like the KT gun, on a JP chasis with a Pershing turret.

The Object Editor was sorta released. The problem was that it was almost impossible to figure out, and AFAIK it still is impossible to animate a tank effectively. So I think that it is a new model and new skin...but it probably doesn't have any animations. |
