Whoa..
...
well i have a question that i introduce this mod to my friends umm.1 of them ask. He said umm.. Don't blame me its not i said it.
Event in school~


Friend: Hey YSk, isn't that Eastern Front about pacific battle?

I said  : No is not, its about EASTERN battle in Europe focusing on Soviets for now, soon another fraction fro Axis army.

Friend: Why not they make for the pacific? Like Japs Vs British or Americans in Pacific?

I said  : How should i know? I am not the one who make the mod with them. Why not you go and make an account and post it there in the EASTERN FRONT forum? Maybe in CoH there is not much tool too the pacific stuff. There is no tropical trees, terrain and guess what, its not easy.

Friend : Then why pick the name EASTERN? Mereka mesti lah bodoh . ( Speak in Malay)   Translation. They must be stupid/ moron.

Then we both debate for 3 rounds then he won then i go post this question.

Don't blame me for this.

Why there are no Japs ( Japanese ) in EASTERN FRONT?

Please reply here or PM me because this fellow is a hard-headed person he doesn't believe me at all and he is a very rich guy that why he show-off. Anyway his local.

-Details-

-Why EASTERN FRONT don't have japs? Because its EASTERN. EASTERN he said that.  ( Not my questions )

-Is there a tool in CoH can make modal for anything? Like make a new tree. a new house a new equipment? ( My question )

ImperialKaskins, I think I can answer that for you.
The reason why there is no Japanese faction in this game, is because they do not fit in this theatre of war.
If this mod had been called "Pacific ocean" or "Pacific Theatre", than there would have been a justified reason to include the Japanese.
This mod however focusses on the Eastern Front, which history wise, refers to conflict between the Soviets and the Germans.
While it may be geographically justified to use the pacific theatre in an Eastern front mod, it is not historically justified.

Basically:
Pacific Theatre = Japanese and such (the fighting in the pacific)
Eastern Front = Soviets/Germans (the fighting in Eastern Europe)
Western Front = Germans/UK/France/USA/a bunch of minor nations (the fighting in western Europe)
European Theatre = Eastern and Western Front combined
African Theatre = the fighting in Africa

I hope that helped.
Cheers

The 'Eastern Front' is the Western historical name for the conflict between the Soviet Union and its European enemies. The Soviet–Japanese War of 1945 was a separate theatre; Germany had been defeated and the conflict on the Eastern Front had drawn to a close. A Pacific mod team is already working on adding the Japanese to the game anyway.


An other reason would be that the Eastern Front is near Europe enough for us to pull off the atmosphere on the theatre at this early-mid stage in the mods development. The Pacific Front is a completely different environment so It would not only look unrealistic but the atmosphere and believability of the theatre would also be ruined.

BurroDiable, do you know if the pacific mod and the Eastern Front mod are compatible with each other?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Pacific Thunder is not released yet, but it won't be compatible with Eastern Front.

First we balance the soveits, then we put out the obsteer, then we balance both for awhile, then we add campains, then we possibly would add two more fractions, blah blah blah then we do the Japs  :)
The Russians think there sooo tough, wait till the Ostheer comes...

We have no plans to add further factions after the Ostheer, especially not factions that are already being worked on by other mod teams.
