Mods ideas

Will the E-50 crush the Sherman, sure looks like it.

[Pac-Fish]

I think that would screw with game play . Like in C+C where the super tanks (Overlord, Mammoth) can crush regular tanks

[Tankbuster]

Makes me remember the Apocalypse tank from RA2,3

what is this 1949 mod? it seems very cool and i would want to play it when it comes out. it's not dead, is it? I know it's a prolonged ww2, but i don't know.

[Pac-Fish]

Well Im no expert of that mod but I think 1949 is a mod where the war is dragged out further b/c serveral Allied plans have failed. Therefore things that we normally dont use (like STG45 and Maus) due to historical problems can now be freey used . Also there is a Jap faction and a new doctrines and such.

Ya what Fish says is quite true.

However don't think the USSR, Brits and Americans haven't made any leaps forward. As far as I know at least a couple of the Brits squads will be using the EM-2 or EM-1 (depending of course on what Wiffleby wants) and will have a Centurion tank. The Americans will have an M46 MBT for fighting off many of Germany's E-series and other large tanks (not the Maus or E-100 though), and also have M3 Carbines for their Snipers/Counter-snipers. Soviets will have AK-47s, RPDs, SKS and RPG-2s so they get a huge weapons overhaul. The scariest and possibly most annoying thing with the Soviets is their Tank Squadrons. You can have independent tanks but you can also request Large Squadrons of IS-3, T-34/85s, and maybe even T-44/100 for use as a single large tank squad (3-5 tanks per squad) kinda like the RMC Jeeps

Sounds like a semi modern tank storm . Should be interesting to watch it unfold

Is there anything from the real WW2 that the factions will still use? like ppsh, or mg42, or g43?

[neosdark]

Oh yes Erik.

 Many Grenadiers still use the good old Kar98k because that was what they had been trained to use and love its accuracy and reliability. Some Wehr and PE Gendarme units will have G43s. The Herman Göring Division Fallschirmjagers are still armed with FG-42s. The Ostheer Grenadiers are all still armed with Kar98ks. Most German assaalt troops will still use StG-44s.

Many Soviet Troops such as the Heavy Engineers are armed with PPSh. Most of the snipers are armed with Scoped Mosin-Nagants.

Most of the American troops are armed with M1 Garands and M1 Carbines. Rifles can get Thompson SMGs while the Draftees can get Grease Guns with a certain doctrine (btw most of this is already released info, you just have to go and read it on the 1949 Moddb news page) West Coast Vets will be armed with M1897 Trenchgun. Plenty of other stuff still in their too. Americans will still have M4A3E4 Shermans and M4A3E8 all across the board and they are quite cheap.

Yes but its aways nicer to have a fellow EF member explain it to us . I personally find the ModDB page confusing and awkward to use so it helps to get informal explanations 

[neosdark]

Yea that is quite true.

 Guess I should mention that there will be a lot of foreign units in this game, but its up to you to figure out exactly how they will be input into the game

[Pac-Fish]

What do you mean . You get to customize

[neosdark]

Nope not really

[Sommarkatze]

I think he means they use a lot of differant nationalitets, for example I saw pictures of Russian liberation army soldiers! Russian voulenteers in the Wehrmacht!

[Mass Killer DL]

I would like to see a mod that concentrated on adding new factions such as The Hungarian's, French, Italians, Polish, Finnish just to name a few and the many other factions that were involved in World War 2.
