Hello Eastern Front fans,

Before anything else, we apologize for the long delay with the next update of Ostheer; unfortunately we haven't been able to export some vehicles and infantry equipment and as we are short of free time due to real life issues, we didn't make up anything.

Frankly speaking, we don't know when we are going to be able to export the remaining stuff, so it's time to show some screenshots of what we have done.

When we have the models finished we are going to start making the video. Hope you like the screenshots :).

Yea its the skin that was used for Wehr's blitz tiger in earlier versions, it was removed and the tiger got it's original skin back again because most ppl didnt like it.

IMO the skin doesnt look so good because the brown color is too dominant. Otherwise it would look great

There's one thing you are forgetting evilSpike :(, whenever you modifiy an existant skin you should have permission of the author, when the author is another member of the team, usually there is no problem with that however, this skin is based on one that belongs to Xalibur.

Actually giving credits is only when you using foreign skin in your mod or making the skin avaiable for download. For posting pics its not necessary.

Dude, everyone knows that, but unless you forget what you and the others said, you are proposing this skin to be used for Ostheer Tiger.

That would require what I said, otherwise I would deleted the pics and warned him or something like that. But of course, no one is talking about posting pics of a modified skin being a crime.

Wow, nice update! :) I recently played Europe in war mod, that contain some units that will feature in Ostheer (Sadly my friend don't play any mod expect EF, so be proud :)). Will you improve those units, beacouse theres a quality jump from the original models in the mod. Can't wait for Ostheer. :D

Model issues, it's been fixed but the newer version hasn't been exported into game... same goes for the Famo (Yes, all Relic track wheels are square ;D )

If you spot a model issue, there's a good chance it's been fixed already.

Final in the sense that the model is ready to be animated, not the skin. :P Skins can be changed whenever, its the model, UV's and animation that is most important.

As usually, appreciate the work of the team.

But as always i got a certain criticism:
Its the Tiger skin. This brown is just a no go.


A much better idea(s) is what good ol' Bishop posted.

Either pick an really classic fieldgray skin. Thus the players can feel the Tanks originality and old idea. Lots of "being-in-use" details on the skin are welcome as well.
Another, really orignial idea is the idea to mix some orange in. This way the impact of terror the tiger may bring to the battlefield will be even greater.

The community would love a new tiger skin :)

A really new idea would be great. These are some example from xalibur, 2 of these were posted by bishop already but the third is great as well:

(http://www.2forweb.de/coh/tiger_early_production.gif)

(http://www.2forweb.de/coh/banner/Tiger_sSSPzAbt_505.gif)

(http://www.2forweb.de/coh/tiger_tiki.gif)

Imo the third one looks really unique, it gives it an aggressive appearance just like the orange barrel with the produciton number on the picture before.


Feeling on the Eastern Front  :)


PS: The KT skin is exellent already! Its based (?) on the CoH KT skin which is a masterpiece on its own. This should NOT be changed.

I fully agree with Venoxxis - the third skin makes Tiger look like... well... tiger  :-\ But 'Tiki' sign should be removed or replaced by something else. To make the skin more unique.

ok after there is maybe a little irritation (i deleted one of my posts) i decided to post the picture again


the basic was xaliburs eastern front skin (i already asked him if i can use his skin as basic to create this one)

but plz all remenber this is just WIP and will maybe never be used (sprecial if xalibur decided that im not allowed to use his skin)

Brown camo looks desert related, thus exactly the opposite of the eastern front and the ostheer.

That said, brown doesnt fit.
If the 4th axis fraction "EF Lord Rommels Africacorps" will ever make it, than i would absolutly love this skin.

Are you just saying this because you don't like it or prefer something else? Because that skin is very eastfront related! I belive It was a common camoflage pattern from the easternfront. Theres other paint patterns i personally would prefer over this but you know some people like the daughter some ppl like the mother, taste is like a asshole everyone has one.

dont use bs arguments in a attempt to affect the dev's decision on what skins they should include  ;D lol nice try venoxxis

Post by: Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G. on October 25, 2011, 11:17:50 PM
Brown wasnt used by the african corps (not as standard carmo colour).

But from the historical point of view: 1942 - german army ordered that all tanks had to be paint in sand yellow right at the factories.
In 1944 this orders were changed but till this period u can say that sand yellow is the colour of the german tank forces and could be the base for all ef Ostheer tanks ;)

I guess it depends of the season - like in winter tanks are painted white, so spring colour scheme should be green, summer - yellow, maybe light brown, autumn - dark brown, gray, red... It would be hard to spot yellow-painted tank in the middle of corn field in full sun in summer, while the yellow-painted tank would be visible from miles during the autumn, where it's bright painting scheme wouldn't fit the foliage it hides in.

Post by: Venoxxis on October 25, 2011, 11:44:46 PM
I wasnt sure about the fact that its a desert-skin, this is why i just called it -with caution- "desert related". My post shouldnt be any kind of offence.
Anyways, nice for clearing it up Lord Rommel.

Well...
The german camouflage is a kind of myth from ww1 till ww2 xD
During ww2 german army had no special orders how to camouflage a tank so tank crews had a lot of space.
The chronicle of the 503. SPzAbtl reported that sometimes they had used sand yellow Tigers during the winter because they didnt got white colour. So out of my view u can use so much different skins when u want.
In linking with this "brown Tiger":
This tank was part of the 505. sPzAbtl and fought with this camouflage against the red army. The yellow colour is from the factory but this Tiger crew decided that brow will enforce the camo effect. Thats the story for the "brown Tiger" ;)

Hmm, i see the OH buildable tiger has the smoke launcher system. Oh and about the gas mask, will there be a chemical spray ?

Post by: Alexander 'ApeMen' J. on October 26, 2011, 03:39:07 AM
no the screen of my tiger is the wehrmacht tiger. ostheer used another tiger.

about the gasmask idk but it wouldnt make sense
that would mean that soviets can use gas but they cant (iirc there are also no plan to add something link this)

i think the mask is only added because it looks cool :D

Post by: Mr.ious.Q on October 26, 2011, 03:52:27 AM
I think the gasmask should be given to the Sturmpioneers cuz they use flamer- could release a large amount of toxic CO gas.

Nope. No plans to change this.

I like bot Evilspikes editions and Xaliber's versions of the Tiger (the one evilspike edited)

You want me to be honest? If it's buildable tigers I'd LOVE to see Tigers that would VARY in skin and camo. There are just so many bad ass ones that picking one seems a bit obtuse.

While Evilspike's looks badass, I think there is always need for a lighter variant for those snow induced battles (COUGH MAP REDESIGNS? COUGH).

Perhaps if not varying skins, maybe after finishing the ostheer the team can work on differing skin packs for both armies? Yes, It would destroy SOME uniquity perhaps and over-diversify but I think that there are loads of good tank skins (Especially for Tigers) Like a artic skinpack would be nice.

Ofenrohr guys have gasmasks because earlier versions of the Panzershreck created a lot of smoke.

Well...
The german camouflage is a kind of myth from ww1 till ww2 xD
During ww2 german army had no special orders how to camouflage a tank so tank crews had a lot of space.
The chronicle of the 503. SPzAbtl reported that sometimes they had used sand yellow Tigers during the winter because they didnt got white colour. So out of my view u can use so much different skins when u want.
In linking with this "brown Tiger":
This tank was part of the 505. sPzAbtl and fought with this camouflage against the red army. The yellow colour is from the factory but this Tiger crew decided that brow will enforce the camo effect. Thats the story for the "brown Tiger" ;)

This is what i think as well :D
You actually gotta be an expert to know what really happend with the camoflage of german tanks in these periods of time. Thanks to black and white pictures ;)
What happened after the order was changed in 44 Lord Rommel?

Since there is no regulation, tending to relic CoH like skins is probably a good idea. Their idea was to give every faction one kind of skin, this gives every faction a cartian idea & feeling.

Well. The yellow colour was exhausted xD Factories got the order to use different colours. Some factories like the MAN used a brown rust protection colour, other factories like Henschel used a different sand yellow (different RAL tone). So brown and a new yellow replaced the "standard sand yellow".

Hi there,

like the vehicle skins and canons. Don´t like the Ofenrohr Troops skins.
Jacket well done but trouser and boots....what is that? Completely wrong. Officer trouser and the boots are too tall. This are no Landser boots. I like your mod very much but some of the new infantry skins for the new Ostheer are really not good.

Skins and model mixes need to look different enough from other factions so they are easily distinguishable. Some model mixes work, some don't and some work better than others so we have to stick with what the game will allow. Take Volks for instance...  Landers are reskinned Volks, so they can have Volk boots, but Volk model mixes hardly ever work, so unless you want the entire Ostheer to be reskinned Volks, you'll have to make do. I like the tall boots anyway, makes them look like they've had to wade through the formidable Russian mud.

Once more, Eastern Front does not tell history lessons, it is a game with historic backgrounds, and that's all.

Remember CoH has limits to we can do, and ceirtainly we are not going to invest time on a new model for the Ofenrhor Troops just to make boots and trousers look as you suggest.

Any 2D artist applies these rules while creating content for CoH, he creates:
* What CoH allows.
* What the Dev team allows.
* What the 2D artist himself wants.

You can argue that there's place for "What the player base wants", but EF usually not works in that way, specially for unreleased content. There are difference between asking for a change and just being nitpicky.

Like Burro said: Sometime it is impossible to mix the infantry u need to get the "historical body" u can skin and dress up.
And when u have so much problem with this topic u can attack Relic, too ;) Watch their tanks xDDD

All in all we are trying to get as much authentic stuff as possible ingame but sometimes CoH avoid it...

Are the Ostheer skins historically accurate? It appears so. What's the big deal on the Ofenhror and Panzerbusche Troops? And how much more of Ostheer needs to be completed? If i'm not wrong it seems like schutzen war camp units need to be animated, panzer kampf kommand and doctrine units need to be created and animated, and balancing Ostheer against the allied factions.
