Company of Heroes: Eastern Front

I understand that the EF developers have a huge work load on their plates with working on the new patch and the longed for Ostheer but I defiantly think reskinning the stock German infantry is in line. A modder and skinner named Halftrack makes an awesome skin pack that features completely redone uniforms for the Wehrmacht and American factions while the Panzer Elite will take a little more searching on my part to find a suitable one for the Eastern Front. Now for the link and pictures.

Is that really necessary? ::)

What do you mean?

I see nothing inherently wrong with the relic skins.
-
I think other stuff has priority. Completing and improving of Soviets, creating OH, setting up a campaign. If you want different skins, just install a skinpack, three are available here (http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=2107.0). Don't worry, they are compatible with EF.

Yeah, Halftrack is an excellent skinner and part of this team ;D. He made along with Zerstörer and BurroDiablo the skins for weapons and infantry for Eastern Front. But...
Wouldn't be too much to replace all the original skins for those? I think their current skins, if not "historically correct" are fine.
You can install them if you want, just make sure they don't modify the attrib files and everything will be fine.
P.S.: Now i remember, we have replaced RMC Doctrinal Commandos skin just to make them visually different than their brits counterpart.

This fallowing should also prove to be of some help:

Sadly, the relic skins are my biggest pet peeve with the original game and I think the Eastern Front deserves some skins that more reflect what German troops were wearing on that front. The allies actually look alright but the axis was poorly done.^-^
I personally already installed this skin pack and as Halftrack stated in his article he is making skins for the PE and the Brits. It is news to me that Halftrack is part of the team.
Thank you for you opinions anyway ;D

Halftrack was involved only with the soviets, not that we wouldn't be happy if he comes and help us with Ostheer, but i think he's busy with his own mod :(. So, this won't happen.

Battle of the Bulge (ninja'ed by RedGuard :))

I have that mod and it has been a ghost town for a long time. Maybe he is working on a new patch? But I am getting off topic. I totally understand how much is on your plate but would still like some eastern front style uniforms for the axis. Maybe I could work on this myself.

You might wanna see how "skin installer" programme works - it sets the path on how to make skin packs, that are compatible with multiplayer, I think.

Perhaps he have some RL stuff to do, like us :). Perhaps would be complicated or not to do it, honestly don't know... however i don't think that's a good idea. This probably was discussed before and the answer was no for sure.

^^ I think, the TS meant the skin pack for his own personal use - not for open distribution.

I didn't say anything for this sentence:

Oh! I see, sorry for that misunderstanding.
Surely there's no need at all to force everyone to use some new, revised skins for vanilla. And it's against the mod policy as well (=Never touch the "holy cow" of vanilla CoH). ;D

I dont think, that we need this after all. CoH has a great feeling and every mod with new skins i played yet either destroyed this feeling or made it worse.
Relic CoH skins promote feeling in a way i didnt really understand yet, so yeah, they are masterpieces.

I know that EF changed
the tiger I ( Not sure about the reward Tiger I tank) they made a new skin for the commander. He is wearing the imo really nice looking panzer uniform and not a leather jacket. ^^
(Yes I know that some leather jackets were issued to panzer and uboats crew.)
I think if you are thinking about the lack of camo on the german troops it is like this.
In Relics coh. Camo= Elit.
Only the elit units have camo clothes. Example fallschirmjägers,stormtroopers.
But that is what I think ^^
