General Discussion / Soviet Weapons in NIS Tool?

« on: October 08, 2010, 04:26:48 PM »

I was playing around with tests in the Worldbuilders NIS tool, which if you do not know what it then it is a cinematic tool used to make cutscenes like the ones throughout the campaign. Anyways, while I did a little digging in Worldbuilder (with EF mod implemented into it) I started to play around with the Soviet models and they work pretty well in the NIS tool, but there was one thing I was confused about; where were the soviet weapons? I mean I scaled through the "STATE" listings looking for PPSH's and Mosin-Nangants of which to arm the actors but there were none found. So I decided to use Partisans instead regular conscripts as I couldn't find the Mosin-Nangant. And to my surprise when I armed a Partisan with a kar98 rifle, the model appeared as a Mosin-Nangant!

That leads me to my question; is there actual support for soviet weapons in the NIS tool? or are they "hidden" under other guns so that if they're selected, the soviet model is loaded if held by a Soviet soldier? If so, any ideas on the whereabouts?

(I'm not talking about races/russians/soldiers/weapons/ folder in the NIS Tool, I am referring to the location in the "STATE" listing where the soldier is actually capable holding the weapon)

Back-on topic: I never noticed to how the repair rate "slower" than usual, mainly because I find it pointless to have a single squad repairing, where as you control the might of the Red Army to which you can get more Ingenery's to help?

Eastern Front / Re: Who was the best commander in WWII?

« on: January 26, 2010, 04:11:21 AM »

Zhukov in my opinion. I watched a documentary about the battle of Kursk that was from the commanders perspective, and saw what he was planning, he was a damn good commander and turned the Eastern Front around single-handedly, and he ALSO destroyed Großdeutschland division, consisting of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd SS PzGrenDiv.

And well, he beat Mannstein. But, if the battle had continued without Hitler taking away Mannstein's armoured divisions, the fate of the eastern front may have been changed. But as it happened in history: Zhukov is the man.

1. Looks the most authentic, and cooler 

2. Looks like some kid made it :-|

Well, techniquly it's stealing if you ripped the model out and like converted it into CoH (Downsize) but if you start an entire new model from the image of it, that's a different story because it's not gonna be %100 alike and if it was then that would be stealing.

Suggestions / Russian Tank Suggestion

Maybe you could add the SU-152 as the heavy tank for the russians, it'd be like... a modelled Pershing only smaller and bigger barrel. 

<--- SU-152
<--- M26 Pershing
