Title: A Few Thoughts on Possible Improvments
Post by: EasyWay91 on February 05, 2012, 09:00:22 AM
It's been a while with classes and everything so I haven't had the time to post anything. I bumped into a few really cool features in other mods for CoH a little while back. They were able to modify new base buildings, have a mortar with wheels, and code in new game ending window pictures. Thing is I recommended these things a few years back and was wondering if they are possible to incorporate into the game now. It's not late you know! Anyways great jobs on the mod, nice to know the the developers never stopped support for the mod. So, serious props to the devs. These are just ideas, and I'm pretty sure many of you have already wondered about these :) Would be great to hear your opinions and other ideas!

Here's the "mortar",

the unique arty firebase,

and the unique win/lose windows.

Unique win/loss windows can't be done with more than 4 factions AFAIK. The reason MC can do it is because it REPLACES existing factions rather than add totally new ones as EF does. Unique base buildings require animations and the EF devs have a hard enough time just animating the units.

The mortar on wheels seems pretty similar to the LeIG 18 that the OH uses already, even if it's a field gun rather than a mortar.

Unique buildings are something we plan for the future, these have been planned for years now but we are trying to finish the Ostheer first. Wheeled heavy mortar is also on the cards, but low priority.

I have a question on how the LeIG 18 will function. Will it fire like a mortar or like an AT gun?
