Suggestions / Basic Russian Uniforms

« on: October 09, 2008, 06:18:06 PM »

I just figured i'd post some links to correct ww2 Russian Uniform packages used by re-enactors. These are early war sets http://tridentmilitary.com/Soviet-WW2/early-war-packages.html. These are mid war sets http://tridentmilitary.com/Soviet-WW2/package-deals.html. I would suggest if your are going to have mulitiple russian skins to make one or two in early war and the rest in mid war. they don't all need to have rucksacks and plash-pilatkas (tent halves/rain coat). nor do they all need helmets. One suggestion too would be to make the pants and shirt a different shade of green or kacki. This stuff was made out of different matriels from different factories.

Suggestions / Mosin Nagont

« on: September 14, 2008, 12:13:13 AM »

I noticed when i was looking through the forums that the only pic of the your Mosin Nagont model is an m-38 carbine (that was also what was used in Call of Duty and Call of Duty 2). The problem is that the Russians only issued m-38s to people who could use a carbine (Like Scouts,Truck Drivers...). The Russian standard issue was the m91-30. The barrel on a m91-30 was about 8 inches longer(like this http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinM9130S.htm. vs. This http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinM38.htm). Another thing is that there are a lot of incorrect mosin nagont pouches. this is a pic (its kind of a cruddy repro) of a correct one http://www.tridentmilitary.com/New-Photos19/nagantpouchb.jpg. This is an incorrect one http://cgi.ebay.com/Ammo-Pouch-Russian-Mosin-Nagant-Rifle-MN-61B_W0QQitemZ180084359820QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting. The mane diffrence is the correct one is made of the same color dark brown leather were the in correct is a combonation between pleather and real leather. As i've stated earlier i am colorblind and not very artistic so otherwise i could probably skin them myself

Suggestions / Russian and German suggestions

« on: September 04, 2008, 06:29:55 AM »

One suggestion i would have would be for a squad of 8 Russian infantry to only take 6 population (or perhaps 4) or a T-34 instead of taking 6 or 8 population it would only take 4. I don't know if its possible to do this but thought it sounded good. One other suggestion i would have is allowing the Germans to also recruit slightly modified russian conscripts because the i remember reading about how the SS had some units made of POWs and people in occupied territorys they would often use their own countries weapons and uniforms.. Once i get some proof on the "SS foreign legion" I'll be sure and post it.Also i have thought it would be neat if there was some sort of armoury building that could drop rocket launchers and Degtyarevs for a considerable muntions fee (100 munitions for a rocket launcher instead of the normal 75).
