New model & skin for T-34

Hi, people!
At first, I would like to say that EF is the CoH greatest mod ever made by the human hands... After some patches and upgrades, I believe that EF touch the perfection...
But, on the other hand, I think that the T-34 model & skin don't do justice to the quality of the mod. There is some problem with turret proportion - it's too little in relation to the hull - and the hatches are very small to allow a adult to get in the tank. But above all the skin quality is very poor...
It would be a great thing to give EF a new T34 - the greatest WWII tank!
Another think is the lack of some early but nice russian tanks/armored vehicles, like the BT series, or even the T26 (a tank in the same category than the Stuart) or still the pretty BA series...
The last week-end I was agreably surprised by the last NHCmod version with a nice Panzer II!
The later times WWII focus is a north american vision. For the europeans and asiatics (chineses & japaneses especially) the war begins in last years of the 30 decade and has its fate decided in 1942. The WWII didn't begin in Pearl Harbor or in Normandie beaches...
Thanks,
P.

Hi Pajeu,
the proportion problem is not an EF-only issue. Generally, soldiers are too big in COH. Changing this would mean reanimating everything, what, as you can guess, is a shitload of work.
Russian models and skins will be reworked after the Ostheer and the campaign are out, don't worry.

Hi, Maxi!
It will be marvellous...
More than anything is the skin quality that bother me... And the hatches are very ugly too (I think that it rather is a BT early model ones; the T34 has never had two square hatches, I believe) ...
That would be great to have the russian units in the CoH quality standard...
Thanks, man!

You're welcome. Except of the Katyusha, the T-34 was EF's first vehicle model and the skins didn't undergo major changes since the release. You can see some changes though, for example at the KV-2. Its skin is far better now.
Enjoy your stay!  :)

T-34 was one of our first models... it was certainly the first model ingame. The vehicle is out of proportion because it's a model mix with the Cromwell tracks.

We plan on replacing ALL Soviet models with higher quality ones once the Ostheer models are completed. This may also include extra vehicles no yet in the mod, but what they are and for what purpose they will serve is still a secret :P

Zerstörer made them look good besides being the same old models ;).

Hi, Bishop!
