Realism Mod?
« on: January 27, 2010, 03:07:42 PM »
No seriously, What do you think of this idea? As many people say the mod isn't good balanced enough, because some units are overpowered or underpowered... i think we should try a realism MOD for Eastern front. Maybe it is the only way to make it really balanced because it is like real WW2, it sounds confusing but look: The Russians will have quantity, lots of many medium tanks which are really cheap but very weak too....while the Germans can ask for very powerful tanks however they are very expensive, rare and need long time to be built.

It doesn't need much effort i think, just change some armor and firpower statistics of each unit in the mod. Sadly i don't know how to work on my own MOD so i'm asking the modders from the EF Mod to do this.

I'm pretty sure many people are interested in this.  ::)

I like the idea too, but I`m more for half-realism mod, give heavy tanks (and all tanks for that matter) decent range and balance so that a Tiger kill`s T-34 in 2 maybe 3 shoots, and with a range of 80-85 it would really tip the balance towards realism.
Also, reducing LOS of tanks would be a nice add-on...
Just throwing ideas if someone actually is considering this...

I'm sure quite a few people want this, but the Devs have said time and time again that it's not going to happen. EF will stick with vanilla CoH style gameplay.

It sucks because you spend 10min building a tank and it gets destroyed in a single shoot, I was proposing half-realism, to make things more serious and realistic but not insane. Full realism is only possible is you give ppl an army at the start of the game (like in EIR or WiC), but that`s hardy a possibility...

So.....let me see....our Mod has only been out for a few days now...we're still patching balance based on the feedback of hundreds of people......

But you somehow believe that a 'realism mod' would somehow, in a magical way, create a better balance...because you'll call it ''realism mod''...yeeeeaahhhh sure...  ::)

Ive been saying that since day 1. HOWEVER, they wont do it b/c the modders do not like Realism mods.  :'(   Its quite sad.

Its not so much they dont like them. Its just that they dont want to make one, a "realism mod" has never been, or ever will be the purpose of EF, its aim is to be an unofficial expansion.

Really, if people want realism, they should buy Men of War, not complain about people not taking up their spare time to make CoH into one  :)

If you want realism, play men of war.  Its much more realistic and has many more units too.  I personally think that beyond a certain point too much realism makes a game no fun.
