Great mod!!!, one question about skins.

    First off i would like to thank the dev's for releasing such a great quality mod. I love the new play style it takes to be effective with the Soviet. I did have one question tho. Are there any new skins to be released for soviet faction. They look great now, don't get me wrong, but when compared to some of the skins i have dl for the other factions they seem rather simple. Thanks for such a great addition for a good game! ;D

That's because the other skins are all based on relic's work, meaning 95% of the work is still relic's with only the camo and some dirt really changing. Trust me, I've mad plenty to know...
The ones in this mode have been made from '0' which is a totally different ball game. I hadn't realized what's involved until a few months ago....

We try to aproximate relic's skin quality on custom models ,but most of us are amatures (apart from Halftrack lol)

Saying that, we are constantly improving our mod...

Great SS on the tank, looks great! I was looking at screens of Soviet armor from WW2 last night. They seemed to have more simple color schemes and markings than the other factions and not so much the unique camo patterns. I do realize the hard work involved with making this mod. Expecially when u are making the new units from scratch as you said. Keep up the good work and support for EF!

Why russians tanks are taller almost like shermans ?

Russian tank models in majority are much wide,less tall,with slooped armor,and wide caterpillar who give them good mobility in bad terrain.

Many photo and details can be found here

90% of soviet tanks were plain green...winter time they were 'white washed'. On rare occasions they'd get more creative with the white and make patterns.

A small percentage used red brown paint or mud even over the green to create camo...like the tank rider T34.

An even tinier percentage had at the beginning of the war a 3 colour camo on their T34s sand/green/dark brown. Near the end of the war, some guard units adopted camo with four colours green/sand/brown/black. These were all VERY rare-My guess is they didn't want AT gunners or Alied aircraft identifying them as germans just because of the camo and pound them to dust.

On a small note near the end of the war they started painting yellow triangles on the roof top to avoid being hit by allied aircraft...then they found German tanks were using the same to avoid being hit9sneaky bastards) so they changed it to the white lines/cross...although that n turn spelled 'bullseye' for german gunners

I know my stuff  ;)
