Questions about MOD

I have to say that this is a great MOD. Thank you very much for making this. I was wondering if there is a way for the Russians to build MG nests, command post on top of points to get more resources, and MG teams. Also what is this about the Oshteer (I think that's how you spell it  :-\ ) I guess it's not out yet? Also what is the latest patch? thanks for all the help, and thanks for the great MOD! God Bless  :D

Hi there Jason7377 and thanks for posting and to answer your questions:

*Yes russians can build MG nests if you choose the propoganda doctrine.
*No the russians do not have any kind of command posts.
*No the russians do not have a dedicated MG team.
*The Ostheer is another new german faction being developed right now but we probably won't see them any time in the short term future.
*The current patch is 1.04 but a new patch 1.10 is comming soon.

Hope this has helped for you

Thanks that helped!  :D

The MG teams I guess would come from upgrading weapons for the squad.

You can upgrade Strealky to have a Light Machine Gun but there is no dedicated MG team.

Outposts double as Command Posts in the next patch, MG nests are only part of the Propaganda Doctrine and there are no MG team right now although there may be in the future as a reward replacement unit.

Ostheer is a new German army that is equipped specifically with Eastern Front flavoured gear. It will have plenty of new vehicles and units just like the Soviets do.

Ok so in the next patch there will be the command posts to cap the points? Thanks. Appreciate the help.

You forgot one......

7. When its done.

We've said this about 1 billion times...when its bloody done! But, since you insist and clearly we'll see about another gazillion times the same question cause you just won't be satisfied unless you see some sort of number...

I'd say....about one and a half year personally.Is it an accurate estimate?-NO! But there you have it. You wanted an estimate, now you have one.
No but/why/how and all that malarkey...you wanted an estimate...there it is...So, stop asking now!

An accurate announcement can only ever be made roughly 1 month before we intend to release it. Anything before that changes dramatically from month to month. We may not get anything significant done in a space of 4-5 months and so a release date can appear very far.....the all the sudden we may do fuck loads in a space of 1 month and all the sudden a release may appear very close.
We don't have a rigid plan/timescale to which we work, therefore it is impossible to make any even remotely accurate estimate on time.
Hence why we say WHEN ITS DONE

Got take a leap of faith and do a pure guess:

1 & 2, hell no.
3 & 6, both very unlikely, however 3 is probably more probable then 6 (counting the summer vacation is coming up for a lot).
So probably 4 or 5 => 6-12 months from now.

That's my guess. But please read @up

Disclaimer: This is nowhere near a official prognosis, and just my guess. This does NOT represent an official view on this topic among the Devs.

THank-you. I will never ever ask that question. (I even deleted the post)

Never say never........or white trash at some one, that gets you a fist full of fury from anyone nearby.  So i'd rather say never.

lol everyone has to reiterate others in these simple quetion threads  ::)

Blah, that didnt make much sense to me.

I'm PUMPED about the ostheer, just can't wait for it. ;)

then get ready for a long wait...

...
Whoa..
...
well i have a question that i introduce this mod to my friends umm.1 of them ask. He said umm.. Don't blame me its not i said it.
Event in school~


Friend: Hey YSk, isn't that Eastern Front about pacific battle?

I said  : No is not, its about EASTERN battle in Europe focusing on Soviets for now, soon another fraction fro Axis army.

Friend: Why not they make for the pacific? Like Japs Vs British or Americans in Pacific?

I said  : How should i know? I am not the one who make the mod with them. Why not you go and make an account and post it there in the EASTERN FRONT forum? Maybe in CoH there is not much tool too the pacific stuff. There is no tropical trees, terrain and guess what, its not easy.

Friend : Then why pick the name EASTERN? Mereka mesti lah bodoh . ( Speak in Malay)  Translation. They must be stupid/ moron.

Then we both debate for 3 rounds then he won then i go post this question.

Don't blame me for this.

Why there are no Japs ( Japanese ) in EASTERN FRONT?

Please reply here or PM me because this fellow is a hard-headed person he doesn't believe me at all and he is a very rich guy that why he show-off. Anyway his local.

-Details-

-Why EASTERN FRONT don't have japs? Because its EASTERN. EASTERN he said that.  ( Not my questions )

-Is there a tool in CoH can make modal for anything? Like make a new tree. a new house a new equipment? ( My question )

ImperialKaskins, I think I can answer that for you.
The reason why there is no Japanese faction in this game, is because they do not fit in this theatre of war.
If this mod had been called "Pacific ocean" or "Pacific Theatre", than there would have been a justified reason to include the Japanese.
This mod however focusses on the Eastern Front, which history wise, refers to conflict between the Soviets and the Germans.
While it may be geographically justified to use the pacific theatre in an Eastern front mod, it is not historically justified.

Basically:
Pacific Theatre = Japanese and such (the fighting in the pacific)
Eastern Front = Soviets/Germans (the fighting in Eastern Europe)
Western Front = Germans/UK/France/USA/a bunch of minor nations (the fighting in western Europe)
European Theatre = Eastern and Western Front combined
African Theatre = the fighting in Africa

I hope that helped.
Cheers

Oh cheer thanks. I can't wait and save this page and give him.

Sadhu sadhu sadhu to you.

The 'Eastern Front' is the Western historical name for the conflict between the Soviet Union and its European enemies. The Soviet–Japanese War of 1945 was a separate theatre; Germany had been defeated and the conflict on the Eastern Front had drawn to a close. A Pacific mod team is already working on adding the Japanese to the game anyway.


An other reason would be that the Eastern Front is near Europe enough for us to pull off the atmosphere on the theatre at this early-mid stage in the mods development. The Pacific Front is a completely different environment so It would not only look unrealistic but the atmosphere and believability of the theatre would also be ruined.

BurroDiable, do you know if the pacific mod and the Eastern Front mod are compatible with each other?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Pacific Thunder is not released yet, but it won't be compatible with Eastern Front.

Ok, too bad, thanks for the reply anyway :)
Cheers

First we balance the soveits, then we put out the obsteer, then we balance both for awhile, then we add campains, then we possibly would add two more fractions, blah blah blah then we do the Japs  :)

We have no plans to add further factions after the Ostheer, especially not factions that are already being worked on by other mod teams.

What will you do after you balanced as best as you could  and you did the campains? ;D

Retire and enjoy the fruits of our work...siting on a beach somewhere earning 20%
Maybe not the last part...

Devs, if youre getting frustrated with speculation/constant questions....you only have yourselves to blame cos you made such a great mod! :)

The first 'standard' question could be answered with #7 When its done!
