Mod plan: COH Chinese battlefield

[Akalonor]

We should set up a site so we can get everything straightened out.
also , to start out I think we should just replace an existing faction.
What are your opinions on this ?

It looks like China use to "play" with foreign toys ...

T-26

We have our "Stuart/Hotchkiss" tank . And is as customizable as a lego figure .

Vickers 6-Ton

It could have twin mg as the picture above or a short barreled 47mm cannon and single mg.

It's looks like they don't have tanks at all . They just used L&L M18 Hellcats, M4 Shermans and M3 Stuarts xD.

EDIT: Well i was reading on wikipedia, and I saw something interesting, they used the L3/33 "light tank", and has the superb "1 × 6.5 mm machine gun" as primary weapon, what a piece of junk; but what I like about it, is the fact that this tankette could be upgraded to "L3 Lf" Lancia fiamme/flamethrower... this variant doesn't saw action on china, but nobody should care .

Haha Yes China have no tank
and thats exactly WHAT so unique about China
and thats why infantry should alway be the mainstay of Chinese Army

Actually one of my weird wish is to see what will happen if those junks come face to face with Tiger

Brilliant! , Now all I need to do Is learn how to use the damn Object editor correctly and get my Corsix modstudio to actually play my mods.

[moknin]

When I open the object editor it keep saying "Failed to load the pipeline.ini file. Do a sync from perforce."

Can somebody help?

[Akalonor]

I remember that you have to replace your old pipline with a new one for the editors , It should have been included with the download.

Now I remember, animals would be hard to animate, are you sure that you want to use animals :-S. But I remember read somewhere in this forum about a german soldier riding a donkey...

I retract about using that italian light tank, I was reading about the T-26 and it could take its role; it had been upgraded at the time was used and I list some of them; some could be granted by doctrine though.

Abilities:
- AP Shells.
- Flank Speed.
- Mark Target(like schwimmwagen).

Upgrades:
- Anti-aircraft MG(Top MG).
- KhT-133 flamethrower(replaces main turret).
- TOP-1/TOS telescopic(like Spotting Scope in hetzer, improved optics, it could be on two levels first TOP-1 and then TOS).
- Armor upgrade(like armor skirts more hp, it could be implemented on vet1 perhaps).

Another upgrades:
- 76.2 mm KT tank gun mod/artillery tank(replaces main turret).
- KMT-26 mine roller.
- 71-TK-1 radio station(for US naval artillery call-ins).

China just used the "T-26 model 1933" but with most of these upgrades could make it a better support tank.

China use the type F vickers(47 mm gun+7.7 mm Vickers MG+Marconi Type G2A radio), but I don't think it would be necessary to include the vickers 6-tons.

I also think that some infantry could use "Button enemy vehicle".

What about doctrine call-ins of M4A1(76mm) shermans instead of M3 Stuart. You could use stuarts as T2 anti-infantry unit along with T-26 and Tier 3 with L&L vehicles and elite infantry, i.e. the M4 sherman and the M18 Hellcat.

Buildings:
- Company Headquarter.
- Recruit Post (like a bunker perhaps ).
- Arsenal.
- Stable.
- Workshop.
- Field hospital.

T0:
- Peasants/Militia.
- Recruit Officers.

T1:
- Footman.
- CCKW truck.
- Dodge GMC3/4(Bren like armor).
- Type 24 HMG Support Team.

T2:
- Stuart/T-26.
- Type 31 60mm mortar.
- Pak 36.

T3:
- Combat Medic.
- Dare-to-die troops.
- M4 Sherman(after some L&L upgrade, "ultimate non-doctrinal chinese AI").
- M18 Hellcat(after some L&L upgrade, "ultimate non-doctrinal chinese AT").

EDIT: Perhaps there's only place for one light tank, but I prefer the T-26 over the M3 Stuart, it is more versatile.

I like whole idea, love idea of chinese doctrines. But I don't like support squads. 2 men? ne sniper shot and than they can't use weapon ( at and mortar). 3 men is required minimum.
Can you make some bazooka squads? I think US gave lot of weapons to china, so bazooka should be included.

Nice idea! Just a suggestion, Whampoa cadet, Instead of upgrading to the Thompson, i'd say MP18, Light tank, i think the PanzerI was supplied to china? [It'd have MG's, redcing Chinese AT Capablity] or the Carden-Loyd, the FT17.

Can't wait to see a Japanese-Chinese mod, if it ever happens.

Yeah, the Panzer I was used by China also, there's missing a Bazooka squad...  I don't know a s...t about chinese history so i don't know how to represent the infantry.

Where would you put the Panzer I?? I would say t2; but I think that Dodge GMC 3/4(or Dodge GMC M31 I don't know exactly which one is) fit that role.

Moknin set up a facebook site,- chinese battlefield mod - you can comment on there and 'friend' CBM to get involved.

[Blackbishop]

I don't use facebook that much but I'll take your word .

[Akalonor]

I despise facebook but had to make an exception for this -.-

[Seeme]

I never ever used facebook and now that I al of a suddend have to! Cant we set up spme easier page? A mod one?

[Blackbishop]

Do you use 3d max for the models and animations ??

[Akalonor]

seeme , if you can find a completely free site than I'm fine with it.
If you Recommend Myspace I will scream , because my aunt that visited used Myspace all the time and screwed my Computer up , it takes around 5-10 minutes to boot up.and its only 4 months old
From what I've seen I think Moknin uses 3d Max , his Pistol models are atleast.
