Inability to recrew weopons

[korsun]

First off all I wish to congratulate you on this mod....

The only frustrating thing I am finding is that weopons such as a mortar or anti tank gun, when playing as the Russian faction cannot be recrewed. Lets be honest if you were a russian soldier facing an oncoming tank and there is a uncrewed anti tank weopon close would you choose to ignore it and keep your rifle? Am I missing something here?

You're right, it's ok if they can't capture the axis weapons.. but their own weapens, why not? I mean, it's their own equipment..

[panzerjager1943]

Coding issue. It is 100% impossible.

On the bright side we can just say the Russians didnt give their Riflemen the training to use Mortars.
But I assure you, as a modder myself, and having been explained it by EF, this is a limitation to making a new faction.

[korsun]

I think that in the OMG mod you can recrew weopons?

[Saavedra]

Eastern Front has not been adapted to OMG, and is not going to be at least until Eastern Front is "finished".



Also, yeah, Russian infantry were NOWHERE near as prepared as the soldiers of other nations to use all weapons of their own faction, nevermind those of other factions.

This is a problem unique to 'NEW FACTIONS' only... of course OMG isn't going to suffer from it. Begs the question why we didn't just replace the Americans or British... but that wouldn't have been much of a challenge now, would it?

Does that mean we'll be stuck forever being unable to recrew weapons? Is there really no workaround or solution available? Can this be sorted out with Relic or sth? No offense here... mod is good it should have been an expansion!

[FrontSoldat]

how about an additional infantry squad wich is able to recrew any weapons because they recieved a special training?

[bastex]

replace the russians whit the british and make the brits a new faction brits dont need to retake weapons bcouse of all the emplacements

[BurroDiablo]

Bastex... don't temp Rizz

Unless Relic helps us, yes, we're stuck with it. Unless we decided to replace one of the original factions, which will be very hard to persuade the team to do.

You're missing the problem... NOTHING can recrew with the Soviets because they are a new faction and this is a hardcoded problem that cannot be overcome with normal modding.

I read somewhere that someone from the team already asked Relic for help on this... did they respond?

If not, maybe someone with a more direct line to relic can give you guys a hand at talking to them... Some moderators in the official relic forum are also active forum guys at Relicnews... IrisDane, I think???

We have a direct line to Relic. However, Company of Heroes barely being a priority for Relic (and especially not modding Company of Heroes), then I doubt we will recieve a fix anytime soon.

[Bjassie]

that's a bugger. Well hopefully it wil come soon enough. I mean on of those relic coders guys could probaly fix it in a couple of hours. (or even less)
Where has the good spirit gone of helping people?

... right down the floor, straight into toilet.

Problem is that Relic won't make much money out of EF. Sure, people may buy it, but I doubt so. Most people playing EF had CoH already before. And even if they bought it, you could purchase it for next to nothing. $10 or sth. similiar aren't worth the work for Relic...

However, there's still hope. 

[BorisNBob]

Yeah, I was gonna ask the same thing. Sucks tha Relic may not help, but at least they were told.
