Just a quick update to give you some more eye candy.
We got some really big soviet tanks this time:
T-35
The T-35 was a Soviet multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early Second World War that saw limited production and service with the Red Army. It was the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production.
KV-1
The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet heavy tanks, named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. At the time of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II, about 500 KV tanks (with about 1,000 T-34 medium tanks) comprised a portion of Soviet tank forces which was clearly superior to German tanks of the period.
IS-2
The heavy tank was designed with thick armour to counter the German 88 mm guns, and sported a main gun that was capable of defeating the new German Tiger and Panther tanks. It was mainly a breakthrough tank, firing a heavy high-explosive shell that was useful against entrenchments and bunkers. The IS-2 was put into service in April 1944, and was used as a spearhead in the Battle for Berlin by the Red Army in the final stage of the war.
T-90
The Soviet Union lacked self-propelled anti-aircraft guns at the beginning of World War II. The first serious design of a real air-defence vehicle was in 1942, when a twin 12.7 mm DShK machine gun turret with optical sights was built for mounting on the T-60 scout tank. The T-70 became available in the meantime, and was adopted as the basis for the T-90 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
Here some soviet rifles:
Mosin-Nagant
The Mosin-Nagant is a Soviet Bolt-action rifle. It's development history started around 1882. It was designed to replace old single-shot rifles. It's production started in 1891. This rifle has been used in many wars and some of them are: Great war, World war 2, and many other... During WW2 has been produced around 17.4 millions of this rifle. This rifle has sniper version too.
But no worries, we also got something for our new german faction:
Stay tuned for more!

It's been a long time since our last update. Time to show you some life. Here it is.
First I would like to introduce new team members, that will work on developing the mod. They are:
Kamikaza22 - 2D and 3D Art.
Capt.Wildstar - 3D Art.
Baumgartl - 2D and 3D Art.
mrscruff - 2D Art.
This update includes some shiny new models and textures.
ZiS-2
The ZiS-2 was a soviet 57mm anti-tank gun. Development of this gun started in 1940 and production began in early 1941. Its production ended in 1943 when it was replaced by the more powerful ZiS-3 anti-tank gun. This gun was mounted on some prototypes of the SU-76 but none were accepted for production. The version of the ZiS-2 used as tank guns was called the ZiS-4 and was mounted on tanks such as the T-34-57. About 10,000 ZiS-2s were produced during the war.
ZiS-3
The powerful ZiS-3 was a 76mm divisional gun. Designed in late 1940, the first production models came off the line in 1941. It was adopted by the Red Army in 1942. In 1943 the ZiS-3 totally replaced the ZiS-2, and production of the older brother was halted. This large gun could knock out most, if not all, German light and medium tanks, and its shells could even penetrate the thick armour of the Panther. Around 100,000 ZiS-3s were built in WW2.
Maxim M1910
The Maxim M1910 was a Russian heavy machine gun. The Russian army first drafted it into service in 1910, and it was used throughout the Great War. It was in service until 1943, lasting a hard and long 33 years. This HMG had a deadly fire rate of 600 bullets per minute and was usually supplied by a 250 round belt. A Quad anti-air version of the Maxim was also created to turn its power against the skies.
TT-33
TT-33 was a semi-automatic pistol used by Russian troops. Its development started in 1930 and it was designed to replace the ageing Nagant Revolver used since 1895. The TT-33 did not totally replace the 2 million strong army of Nagant Revolvers and production stopped in the 1950s. The old Nagant, continues to live on.
This is everything for this update. Stay tuned for more.
