realy nice thx bishop^^

I'd give the MG-34 a different sound that isnn't the 42's buzz, unless they really made similar firing sounds.

And what rifle does the Heckenschuzte (or whatever) have? What does Heckenschutze even mean? Hell-shooter?

Heckenschutze is just a placeholder name, Lord Rommel is away and we were under a tight schedule so I just made it up as I went alone >_>

Anyway, he has a MKb42 semi-automatic rifle, which can be upgraded to an MP44 with Infantry Modernisation.

That explains the bizzarre weapon. Good to know rarer weapons are getting seen sometimes.

I believe I just had an orgasm 8)

I love the MKb42, but I might be crazy here, I think i saw him full auto fire it, or perhaps bursting it really fast.

Yes that's probably because I upgraded to Infantry Modernisation halfway through the game for a bit of variety. I think the code for that is early so the model itself doesn't change yet.

Ok, nice to know, that there will be model difference.

Wow! Awesome!

I love that MG-34 and the Sniper with Scoped StG44  :D :D

Nice video Dave, love how you did the crossover from posters to the actual battle scene! I'm glad I could assist you with the names.
Also great work on those beautiful models and skins. To catch every detail, you have to watch the video at least 20 times :P

It means something like hedge-shooter. Someone who is sneaky shooting you from the nearest hedgerow. Stealthy and evil.

May I ask which map that is?

Edit: It's Deutschland, not Deutchland ;)

yes teh video looked pretty good
looking forward to the next video :D

Also nice to see that Ostheer seems to use Wehrmacht buildings because they don't take much place compared to the Panzer Elite buildings.

maybe its a mix of wehr and pe buildings?

i think so too

yes i think t3 of pe would work perfect as t2 for ostheer

different skin ofc

evilSpike wrote:

Nah, that's far too big. I suggest the following:

HQ as usual

T1 - Wehrmacht T1 (Y)
T2 - Wehrmacht T2 or PE T1/T2
T3 - Wehrmacht T4 or PE T3/T4

Honestly I wouldn't worry about the size of the buildings for Ostheer ;).

right and remember ostheer has only t1-3 so you dont need the space of a t4 building :P

@evilSpike
There is other reason besides that :P. AFAIK OH is using Wehr buildings.

Those are some pretty epic infantry skins!  ;D

Who edits together your videos? I've always been impressed with the quality. This one reaches a new height though.

Those skins are top-notch. The vid was totally worth the wait :D.

I think OH should have their own T3 building. Since OH calls in their buildable tanks from off-map once built (or so we've been told awhile ago), they don't need a building animation. Maybe just give them the radio icon above the structure while it's building something. I'd like to see the OH with one unique building at least.

It's WartyX's job.

+1. I'm dreaming of the Wehrmacht's Kampfkraft Center as the T3 building of the Ostheer. Just make it fully upgraded with its exterior so it looks like a radio control station with its fancy tower.

No problem, the video had to buffer just at the time you see that poster, it doesn't attract attention if you don't pause the video just in that moment ;)

W8ing!!! Video compose is really great...oh god, i cant w8 for Ostheer...

@Devs: There are requests if you could upload the video on your Youtube channel because it fails on ModDB for some people.
Would that be possible?

Looks great! Really great! :D Love the landser ! ( Finally proper german squads with helmets insteads of caps!)

I might be wrong but from older pics and such doesent the Landser have dotcamo uniforms? :O

btw there is one t1 unit missing^^ or did you moved it into t2?

Ofenrohr Truppen wasnt there :P


maybe the dotcamo inf are the brandenburger?
you mean these units right?

Yes that was the original Landsers but we decided they looked a little bit too 'elite'.

MaxiKing6 wrote:There are requests if you could upload the video on your Youtube channel. Would that be possible?

Yes, I am working on it now.

yes i think your decicion was right
they looks in the old skin realy as an elite unit ( a bit like storms i think)



btw what was about the ofenrohr squad and Sdkfz. 9 - famo 18 ton halftrack?

They weren't skinned in time. You will probably see them in the next update (even though they will be a little out of place).

I thought the Germans wore both, and was really just the soldier's preferance?

I think earlier in the war they wore Helmets but when there factories got bombed, they could only make Hats.

original it is fährt :D

Landser Zugs randomly use caps and helmets... just to clarify this :P.

Yeah but he wrote Kübelwagen right :D

Very nice video, looking forward to the update.
Great job guys!

This is so awesome. Thank you again devs, it seems you are close to the end.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!! :)

This mod is amazing. But I wonder why its so expensive to get a 17 pounder as the Russians.

It's not a 17 pounder, it's a 76mm ZiS-3 fieldgun, even it says something else (because the localisation is wrong).

The price is ok IMO. If you want a cheaper emplacement equal to this, try the Commowealth 17 pounder which lacks the anti infantry capabilities of the ZiS-3 though.

AWESOME
PURE AWESOME
(but i hope the german spelling is a joke)

awesome video!!
I know Ostheer is important
but it is possible to have a upload (maybe 1.41?) that have fixed some of the bug metioned in ''[1.4] List of known issues''?
I really hate comp spamming KV2...
