well... well... well... what do we have here?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m59BOio5ds,
After watching this with a grin on my face I have a few questions for you the makers of this soon to be "Mod of the Year", and no I will not ask the date of release of this mod because I unlike many others read the before comments and know that is Taboo on this form,
First, Love the T-90 model, but I saw two versions of it, one with the twin 20mm cannons and another with a bigger gun on it, is that an upgrade, like the puma 50mm upgrade?
Second, is that the Seelow Heights map? because..."rewatches the video and sees it in the first 5 seconds" >.<
ok ummm, Third, though we didnt see the almightly IS-2 Im a bit curious into the cost of the Super tank, now you guys said before that it will be buildable by the "Tank Hall" and by my estimations it would be quite expeansive to bring it into action, I mean a WER Player has pay 600MP and 110FUEL to call in a Pather, so... How much are we talking here? like 800MP and 170FUEL?
Finally Forth, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTCm9PNsI7c
A Jagdtiger!!! holy ^&%$! You guys have been busy, I wont delay you guys any more... well until I more questions that is, ;)
-
Thar be a leak, cap'n!
The Jagdtiger was a little project Scruff did by himself. He told me he may release it separate, but I feel it would be good weapon to give to the Ostheer. Either way, Scruff did it justice.
The IS-2 cost currently is 500 mp and 125 fuel, but obviously, this is subject to change,
The other stuff I won't comment on, das ist verboten. :-X
-
Thanks for your swiftness in replying,
so the IS-2 i take it wont be as powerful as say a King Tiger, but will be able to take on other heavy tanks via Tiger 1s and Panthers, like the Pershing currently does,
as for the "verboten" stuff of the T-90, relax, I've been viewing enough posts to draw a relatively clear idea on what your up to behind closed doors,
I mean, its all logic, Since there will be three buildable vehicles via Tank Hall the vehicles being the T-90, T-34, and the IS-2 it makes sense that when the T-90 first pops out it has the twin cannons and later we see an actual cannon on the little bugger, its logical that it had to have been up-gunned individually right?
Sorry for pushing you guys to talk its just that... with the release of that video i have to know more, as the saying goes "There's blood in the water now" ,
-
T-90 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns were only prototypes and had open turrets.
And I see that you have problems with physics when tanks breach fence
-

no - abp is missing - thats all... no bug - just to sluggardly :P
-
Awesome, can't want for it D:
-
Oh come on scruff! You can't have that tag! That was a moment of frustration!
Not cool!
Nice candy btw
-
Awesome video Mr.Scruff, great to see some new stuff.
The T-90 is looking rather cool aswell, shame about the old SU-76 not being included anymore, but its a fine replacement for it. I see theres also T-70s running around there, I like the idea of being able to upgrade to T-70 to a T-90 for aa purposes, if that is what you guys are planning.
Brilliant work on the Jagdtiger aswell, although as far as being used by the Ostheer I thought that they werent used on the Eastern Front? Regardless, that thing is a beast :D
-
Post on mod db/ announcements?

i will release the jagdtiger as a single model - not with eastern front... :P
-
is anybody else having trouble opening the video because whenever i try and open it it gives me malformed id
-
I had the same problem, but go to the jagtiger link and there should be another link to the video coh eastern front
and again scruff, that tag hurts dude, it really does
-
oh now I see what happend,
The video used to be called "coh Eastern Front",
now its called "CoH Eastern Front T70 and T90"
Well... changing the name of the video a day ago can still mess up the system,
-
that is looking real good cant wait to actually play the game
-

-

Edit: wait does Elefant comes with eastern front?

-jagdtiger never been at eastern front
-elephant comes with ostheer, not with the russians
-
The T-70 and the T-90 are a some what small part of a soon to come update.
The update will be shown on RelicNews, Moddb and the official forums/website, as usual.
So, Keep your eyes peeled and the mod tracked.
-
HA! Nice "leak" ;)
-
-jagdtiger never been at eastern front

Aww you got me wrong my man! I understand you want to release jagdtiger model independently and I totally respect your decision not to include jagdtiger in EF to preserve historical accuracy. But i am just asking if will it be easy for players to add in the Jagdtiger as a new unit to eastern front mod? Zveroboy is so bad ass it needs some competition!
Yeah i know ostheer is release later, so we wont get to see the elefant in the first release? damn i was hoping too much :D
Cheers and thanks for making EF more awesome than ever!
-
well, according to wikipedia (german version) some Jagdtigers might have fought on the eastern front in hungary
"Teile der sPzJägAbt 512 sollen auch an der Ostfront im Raum Ungarn gekämpft haben"
(Parts of sPzJägAbt 512 -one of the 2 companies outfitted with Jagdtigers- are supposed to have fought on the eastern front in the area of hungary)
-
well, Mr.Scruff your very celever, i can't belive you gave us more eye candy with your signiture,
your such a nice person,
lets see... a T-34, the two versions of the T-70, a Katyusha and a... Medic truck?
hmmm... i wonder what that does, possibly heal your units as well as friendly units?
because thats the only way you can?
-
The T-70 in the middle is not a T-70 but a T-90.
-
I love 2:50 when the two T-34s knock down the electric pole. :P
-
Well, you've Done it again Mr.Scruff, another great vid,
su85 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69gtZMn1xCo#lq-lq2-hq)
tell me, will this tank be available in CoH:EF? or is it that you have too much free time like with the jagtiger?
"Looks at Mr.Scruff's NEW signiture,"
oh dear, you updated it again, jeez your very quick to update things,
That a good thing, ;)
-
Ah, that Sig of Scruffs keeps getting bigger every week
Thankfully, the Vid doesn't give much away, and I don't think the skins are final. ;)
-
Yep that SU85 isn't final, Scruffi is making another great skin, we will see it soon.
-
Hmm so is the SU-85 going in instead of the SU-76?
Whats that medic truck thingy going to do?
Many questions, can't wait to (hopefully) find out in the update :)
Cheers
-
:o AND A KV-1, MY GOD
at the rate you building tanks, we could defeat the facist enemy in no time,
but seriously, are you guys made this tank under a few hours?
SWEET ;D
-
KV-1? Look again ;)
Although...
-
:P
Let me repeat with proper names,
:o AND A KV-2, MY GOD

-
Yeah, the perspective makes it look like a KV-1. You'd recognise it as a KV-2 in game though, no problem.
-
Sorry to disappoint, but i think our fastest build time, from complete model, to animated, textured and ingame, was maybe 2/3 days.
-
dont worry about it,
i've waited for a while now, i think i can wait for a few more days, ;)
-

You can't say that that's not impressive though ;)

Haha, I like the sound of that "although" ;)
To be honest guys, everything here is pretty darn impressive.
Cheers

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME,
is there nothing you can't do?
PS hows the ISU-152 comming?
-
Awesome stuff as usual :)
Is that the final skin? It looks cool but I think I prefer the older one, green with the star and bear symbol thingy on the turret.
Doesn't really matter though, great work ;D
Is it fully animated yet?
Cheers
-
Is animation possible for the wheels etc with custom vehicles?
-

Of course it's possible. Have a look at the vids with the T70/90 and the KV-2 as they all have custom tracks/wheels :P

Are the animations true animations from the game or are they designed in-house. I can't really tell from the youtube video because of the quality but they look okay. Are they as nice looking as the original units?
-
All Animations have been created in-house (with the exception of some Track animations).
@ Lulz - I'm unsure if that's the final skin, but I doubt it.

That's quite impressive. I didn't think this kind of thing was even possible to add in a mod, new factions and all. I thought the most you could do was replace current units, excellent work.
Is it possible to create tutorials for the new faction and hire on a native russian to provide the dialogue in English? :) Oh and I forgot to ask about team colors. What prevents this? Is it a possible thing to add in? It'll be kind of funky having some units on the battle field in a multi soviet situation and getting the units confused.
-
What prevents team colours is time ;-]
We will make sure we have them in the mod to some extent.

Cool, that's icing on the cake.
-
I would like that the Red Army use the team colours like other factions do. I would be very grateful and happy, if you really do it.
Can you make green ИС-2, and T-90 with a roof-tent turret (skin)?
-
Team colours and extended historical accuracy will come later. Right now, we're just focussing on just getting it out there....
-
Ok

Frankly, I'm not sure how a turret looked like, it can be simply an open hatch. I can not find a clear photo.
-
it is a open hatch - but whats up with the soldiers? do you animate them? ;)
-
It's more like an armored flap/visor. I suggested to make a tent on a turret and don't animate soldiers.

-
I'm still on the fence about the T-90 even being included in the first place... I'm in favour of replacing it with the T-60 later on since its pretty similar (chassis wise).
-
Personally I think you should keep it, remember that most of the units in CoH itself are not total accurate, its all about blowing stuff up and having a good time. i cant wait till i can get control of this army and its units,
Besides whats one light AA tank between friends ;)
-
Accurate or not, all units in CoH have at least reached production... the T-90 was cancelled before it reached production in favour of the ZSU-37.
-
Well come update time maybe include the ZSU-37? Would have to have something to cover up the open turret though, unless you manage to get the guys animated.
-
ZSU-37 was late war and never saw combat either.
-
Trucks? You can modify the truck to have
a quad maxim
dual dshk or
37mm gun
might be an idea?
-
Speaking of trucks...
Have you guys thought of a troop transport for the red army yet? or will you even have one?
maybe later on down the line?
Also about the medic truck, will it heal friendly troops, aka US and British men?
-
Later down the line, possibly.
The initial release will not include a transport truck, and the Soviets (as far as currently planned) will never have a truck by default.

Tank Riders
T-34s can now mount Guard infantry. Or was it vice versa?
o.Ô ???
-
Mm I was wondering how the "Tank Riders" ability would work?
Have you managed to code it so that the infantry gets up and sits on the back of the tank? I've only ever seen people being able to mod infantry standing up on the back of a sherman.
Or has this not been sorted yet?
Cheers

Well in Video, this can be achieved. much easier.
-
This would take a good amount of work for a singular feature only found in a specific branch of one doctrine.
Would be really interesting though, would make a much more mechanized army, I would assume.
I wonder if the units can take damage from outside, or be sniped off (similar to bren carrier (i think) and PE infantry halftrack).
-
At 2:33 was that a custom FX being used with the big tank. I know that it is possible to almost get custom FX's ingame with the DoW Tools, but I would always get a texture path error (pink FX). I may be mistaken, but can I have confirmation?

Looks like this Panzer II is operational,
Wouldn't you say? ;)
-
Apart from being a Panzer I, yes I'd say it is :P
Great work as usual from Scruff

So Devs,
What have you guys been up to lately?
-
Scruffs personal work, so don't go associating it with the Ostheer just yet ;)
-
! Oh wow!!!
So those will all be in Ostheer?
Amazing, primary battle tank is Pz1, but catches up
via JagTiger :) Now I understand completely ! :D
-
Scruffs personal work, so don't go associating it with the Ostheer just yet ;)
Ok, I get the picture
Still... Mr.Scruff, EPIC work, It would be a shame if these works of art of yours won't be in the Ostheer
You have lots of talent, ;)
Oh and Loupblanc don't go associating it with the Ostheer just yet

So Devs,
What have you guys been up to lately?
I love the cars and the halftrack on the top right
-
Jagdtiger would be amazing. Seeing that go up against an ISU-152, get a couple panthers on one side and some t-34 on the other, and we have some epic tank battles
-
Jagdtiger wasn't a common tank. A maximum of 88 was produced, which means a total of 50 would be more realistic.
Over 2000 ISU 152 were produced till the end of the war.
Not to mention, that the Jagdtiger hasn't fight against the soviets besides the possible use in Wien.
Also, why should the Ostheer need a such heavy tank-destroyer ?
The Elephant/Ferdinand for OH and Jagdtiger as Reward Unit for the WH (King Tiger) or PE (Jagtpanther).
-
As I said, don't go associating these with the Ostheer just yet... this is Scruffs personal work, we haven't discussed including any such vehicles (Jagdtiger included) in the Ostheer.
-
Maybe make ISU152 not so uber (but it MUST have short
range arty thing) lol. (It's a buffed up SU122 after all) :)
(I know SU122 is a T34, SU152 is a KV, ISU152 is an IS2)shush
... And make it possible to have 2 at once?
It would then reflect that those puppies were numerous as hell.
Thoughts?

Honestly this dead horse has been flogged so much its practically alive again...

please do not post/view my image-shack-screens anymore - these are my models - and i want to bring them self to public!
thanx

* Luz777 : Dead horse, being flogged... hmm, double negative
makes a positive, then? :) Scary.
* As for McScruff not wanting his image-shack-screens posted
/viewed, bring them faster to the public! We are STARVING for
anything new. The EF:DEV's don't give us anything new to gnaw
on :p It's like they've truly given up on the Mod QQ :p
... Sounding funeral rites...

Alright,
Sorry for upsetting you,
That will be the last image I will ever upload. :-[
Its just... its been awhile since we've had a huge update, we on the outside can only speculate what you guys are upto, is it really time consuming to make a 3min video showing more units of the sovits in Combat, vs the german armies? Or a few more images of your work now and then? :-\

Agree with that. Its getting to the point where I just have to facepalm and move on.
